After My Strategy Failed, My Cold and Aloof Master Went Completely Mad

“System, I’m a woman. You want me to win over a female Immortal Venerable who’s also my master?”

Lin Su stared at the golden mark in her palm, her face livid.

The System replied coldly, “If the mission fails, the Host will be reduced to dust.”

Lin Su: “...You’re going to get reported one of these days.”

The SSS-ranked target was Immortal Venerable Qingheng, a cultivator at the pinnacle of the Heartless Dao. For three hundred years, she had allowed no one near her. Standing above the nine heavens, she looked down upon all living things, yet no one had ever appeared in her eyes. Lin Su refused to give up. She took a heavenly tribulation in Qingheng’s place, swallowed a venomous parasite for her, and risked her life for her, only to receive this in return:

“Twenty strokes of the cane. Confine her to the Cliff of Reflection.”

The day Lin Su swallowed the Love-Severing Gu, she smiled. “There’s no need for you to do it, Immortal Venerable. I’ll do it myself.”

She collapsed in the wind and snow. The System’s final prompt stuttered and broke apart: “Forced extraction... initiating...”

Qingheng stood in the snow, staring at her empty hand. For the first time in three hundred years, she had reached out, only to draw her hand back.

Ten years later, in a small town in the mortal realm, on a rainy night.

A woman, soaked to the skin, knelt at the entrance to an apothecary, clutching a black box to her chest.

She looked up, her voice as hoarse as a snapped string. “Let me stay by your side. I can be your shadow, your sword...”

She paused, swallowing the words “someone special to you.”

“...or a useless dose of medicine.”
