Qian Sifu transmigrated into a book as a nameless cannon-fodder character. The System said that if she became Huo Zhuoren’s disciple and completed the task of being reprimanded by her a hundred times, she could return to her original world!
Before meeting Huo Zhuoren: I’d rather jump off a cliff than become her disciple!
After meeting Huo Zhuoren: I, Qian Sifu, will work like an ox and horse to become her disciple!
To get home, Qian Sifu embarked on a mad campaign of deliberately getting herself into trouble.
Huo Zhuoren: Darling, you need to practice swordsmanship!
Qian Sifu: I won’t!
Huo Zhuoren: Darling, you need to read the manuals!
Qian Sifu: I won’t!
Huo Zhuoren: Darling, you need to listen!
Qian Sifu: I won’t, I won’t! I’m going to annoy Master to death!
After spending some time together, the little demon Qian Sifu was successfully won over by Huo Zhuoren and wanted to let go of her obsession and behave.
But because Qian Sifu had spent so much time infuriating her master, she accidentally annoyed the master who loved her to death.
Only then did Qian Sifu realize her mistake. “Master, I was wrong! You were right there, but I didn’t cherish you. If I could do it all over again...”
I still wouldn’t cherish you!

After thirty years ruling the cultivation world, Huo Zhuoren had finally become a powerful immortal sect elder and was ready to take on a disciple and pass on her legacy.
But when faced with her new disciple, she finally understood how to write the word “difficult.”
At their first meeting, she was certain her disciple was a once-in-a-century cultivation prodigy, destined to become a great master!
But only after she actually began teaching her did she realize how much trouble she was.
She wouldn’t read the manuals, wouldn’t train her powers, and every day she kept saying she was going to annoy her to death.
Laziness wasn’t the problem. What truly gave Huo Zhuoren a headache was that her little disciple might have been... practicing the wrong kind of technique?
Every morning, after Qian Si had reported on her lessons, she would gaze at Huo Zhuoren with eager anticipation. “Master, could you hit me once? Just once!”
Huo Zhuoren: ?
This girl has gone astray. I absolutely can’t indulge her! As her master, I must set her straight and guide her onto the righteous path.
But every time her broad palm landed gently on Qian Sifu’s shoulder, and Qian Sifu looked so full of hope, as if her power had increased greatly,
Huo Zhuoren began to wonder: Is this some new kind of cultivation technique?

【A Bowl of Soup: Reader’s Guide】
1. The disciple is outrageous, lazy, and unmotivated, and her personality isn’t particularly likable. She won’t change much in the early or middle sections. This isn’t an inspirational story; the protagonist is content to coast through life.
2. Huo Zhuoren doesn’t really die. The fake-death ending is definitely a happy one!
3. This is a healing story. The early part is funny, while the later part has a little angst. The protagonists grow, too.
If you don’t enjoy it, feel free to leave!
4. All the sword techniques and worldbuilding are made up by the author. They have no basis in science, so don’t try them at home, or you might suffer cultivation qi deviation.
