[Feel-good story | Both virgins | One-on-one romance | Healing | Lighthearted]
Qiu Li was a top assassin in the 21st century. In a single twist of fate, she transmigrates and becomes a five-year-old child, and one with a once-in-a-century useless spirit root, at that!
Her bargain-bin master, Pei Zhou, says:
“Cultivating is no better than lying flat. I’ll make sure you eat and drink well.”
Qiu Li plants her hands on her hips and refuses:
“If my cultivation isn’t strong enough, I’ll make up for it with gear! A Gatling gun in my left hand, a spiritual cannon in my right, and I’ll blast the cultivation world to smithereens!”
Then one day, the pressure of a Nascent Soul cultivator descends.
Qiu Li promptly demonstrates a textbook kneeling pose.
Her enemy stares in shock. “Fellow Daoist, why are you giving me such a grand salute?!”
She grits her back teeth. “…I’m tired. I’ll kneel for a bit and rest my feet.”
This blasted pressure! It’s picking on me, a mere Qi Refining cultivator, isn’t it!
The romance:
What does it feel like when the little kid who follows you around every day calling you Master suddenly grows into a young woman?
Pei Zhou clutches his heart. “What? You raised her yourself! Get a grip, what are you thinking?!”
Watching her handsome master, once a top big shot, wash his hands and make soup in the kitchen,
Qiu Li clutches her heart. “No, no, no! I must be dazzled by his looks. How could I fall for my master?! It must mean I haven’t cultivated enough!”
Everyone else: “What is going on with you two? Could you at least have some idea?!”
[Please note: The romance is a slow burn. They both think the other sees them as nothing more than master and disciple, so they keep testing each other and engaging in an endless push and pull!]
A sugar overload! The tension is intoxicating! Watch this sweet couple turn the cultivation world upside down!
