[A miserable disciple who resents heaven, earth, and you for abandoning her ❌ A cute, slow-witted, aloof beauty of a master]
Wei Lanshi had been in poor health since childhood. After an accident sent her into a xianxia novel, she was tasked with playing the protagonist's master and raising him to become an upright beacon of the righteous path, thereby advancing the plot. In return, she would receive a healthy body. She happily agreed.
At the inner disciples' promotion ceremony, the disciples gazed up at her pitifully, hoping Immortal Venerable Wei would choose them as her first disciple.
After all, though she was cold to the point of seeming inhuman, even the sect leader couldn't fathom the depths of her cultivation.
But in full view of everyone, she chose Yu Wei, a disciple who hadn't made the cut.
The hall fell silent.
Only Wei Lanshi understood, as she looked at the red heartbreak score above his head, that he was the future leading cultivator of the cultivation world and the story's male lead.
Wei Lanshi herself was aloof, yet somehow she raised a clingy, affectionate disciple.
Those who had initially resented Yu Wei came to feel sorry for him instead, making sure every little thing was taken care of. He, however, was more than happy to accept it all.
Even the slightest lift of his master's brows was the greatest reward he could receive.
After finally raising her disciple to adulthood, the System, which had been absent for years, reappeared and told Wei Lanshi she'd gotten it wrong. The heartbreak score she'd thought belonged to the protagonist was actually the villain's corruption score.
And her disciple was actually the seductive demon who would one day lead the demons in causing chaos.
To advance the plot, she had no choice but to follow the System's proposed solution: kick her eldest disciple out of the sect to raise his corruption score, then find the protagonist, whose heartbreak score was already maxed out, and start a new round of training to turn him into a model young cultivator.
Later, her eldest disciple, having awakened his seductive demon powers, came looking for her.
Wei Lanshi was restrained by his secret technique. His expression dark, he said, "Master, abandoning someone after leading them on isn't a good habit."
Wei Lanshi couldn't explain herself. She furrowed her brow and accepted his hatred.
With the mission deadline approaching, she was filled with guilt toward Yu Wei. At the last moment of her life, she gave everything she had to cure the aftereffects of his secret technique awakening.
But he misunderstood, thinking she meant to atone to her younger disciple by dying.
When Wei Lanshi opened her eyes again, she had become a new disciple of the sect, the younger martial sister of her former disciple. She was to join her world-famous senior brother in defeating the demonic villain.
And that villain was Yu Wei, her eldest disciple.
Only after dying once did Wei Lanshi realize that every time he said, "I hate you," it was a blood-soaked accusation from someone who had been abandoned, and that he was waiting to hear her say:
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have abandoned you.
