(Two female leads + teacher-student romance + ice-cold beauty + slow burn)
This is a short book, so dear readers, there’s no need to save it for later.
Bai Zhouzhou grew up fending for herself. With a silver tongue and a quick, clever mind, she made her way through the world, until one slip-up angered a local tyrant and landed her in a dark, miserable prison.
Just as she thought she was done for, the woman in the neighboring cell, always cold-faced and silent, caught her eye.
Not for any other reason than that she was unbelievably beautiful.
Bai Zhouzhou tried every trick she knew to strike up a conversation all night, but the woman didn’t even lift an eyelid.
It wasn’t until she overheard the guards discussing how she would be offered as a sacrifice to the “River God” that she truly panicked.
With her life hanging by a thread, that cool, aloof figure broke through the chains and, with a sword like a crescent moon, pulled her back from death’s door.
Bai Zhouzhou, who feared death and knew when to play along, immediately dropped to her knees.
“Master! Please take me as your disciple!”
Xie Yue, the chief disciple of the Celestial Masters’ Hall, had been sent to Baishui Town to subdue a water ghost, only to discover that the entire town’s population had been misled by heretical teachings.
To investigate the truth behind the so-called “sacrifice,” she went along with being imprisoned, waiting to see what would happen, and rescued the unlucky girl who was about to be offered up.
She simply hadn’t expected the little rogue she’d rescued on a whim to be so hard to shake off.
She wouldn’t leave, no matter how often Xie Yue told her to go. All day long, she followed close behind, calling her “Master” over and over.
And what troubled Xie Yue even more was that she... didn’t want to send her away anymore...
