After Faking Her Death, the Divine Maiden's Master Turned into a Villain

Ye Juantang transmigrates into a book.

The original character is a cannon-fodder caught up in the tragic romance between an Immortal Emperor and the female lead, used by the Immortal Emperor to threaten her. Of course, she's not like ordinary cannon fodder: her master is the female lead herself.

Yes, she's premium cannon fodder.

When her master and the Immortal Emperor disagree, the mad-dog Immortal Emperor immediately threatens her with a look. "Little disciple, your master doesn't approve of me. What do you think?"

When her master rejects the Immortal Emperor's advances, the mad-dog Immortal Emperor comes after her with a knife. "Little disciple, your master rejected me. What are you going to do?"

"..."

Those wretched tragic-romance novels!

If the female lead is too weak, everyone bullies her. If she's too powerful, everyone around her turns unlucky. Even people with no connection to her have to chime in with, "If you won't accept me, I'll have all the people of this world buried with you!"

What did the people of this world ever do wrong? What did she do wrong?

Ye Juantang refuses to be cannon fodder. She wants to stay far away from the mad-dog man and, ideally, find a quiet retirement spot beyond the reach of even his self-destruction. She wants to live an easygoing life.

Right, she's decided to fake her death.

It's just that her master is so good to her. Whenever it doesn't involve the main plot, she gives Ye Juantang anything she asks for, afraid her disciple might be bullied.

If the plot weren't so powerful, Ye Juantang would have run away with her master. Anyone who gets involved with that mad-dog man is doomed!

After thinking it over, since she can't take her master with her, she decides to leave behind all the cheats she's picked up for her. The heart that can't be pierced, dug out and given to her master; the arm bone soaked in immortal spirit water, given to her master too; her eyes...

Ye Juantang successfully makes her escape and prepares to hide somewhere, but the plot seems to be going a little off track.

The Immortal Emperor, hovering on the edge of demonic cultivation with few scruples, hasn't gone mad yet. So why has her master, the goddess who is pure of heart and devoted to all, fallen into demonic cultivation first?

[Bonus scene]

Ye Juantang never expected that simply sneaking off to watch the excitement would land her in the middle of a sect rivalry, where the Immortal Emperor, being hunted, would expose her fake death.

It was a little embarrassing, but the people insulting her died even faster.

Her master, whom she hadn't seen in days, seemed to have gone completely mad. She clutched Ye Juantang tightly with hands stained with the Immortal Emperor's blood. "Tang'er, I'll kill them all. No one will ever be able to threaten you again. Please don't leave me again, all right?"

There were so many things Ye Juantang hadn't expected: that her master would be even more unhinged than the mad-dog man, for one; and that she herself could get a stable, unhinged romance plotline, turning her easygoing life into endless gentle coaxing, day and night. "Master, you have to be good."
