Also known as "Does a Teenage Sword Cultivation Prodigy Dream of His Straightforward Master?"
Evil beagle disciple x extraordinarily patient master
*
Quan Changsheng is just an immortal servant in the Immortal Realm, tasked with mopping floors.
He thought his life was set: a little work each day, not enough to wear him out, and a little pay, just enough to keep him from starving.
Until one day, a sword cultivation prodigy singled him out to be her master.
Quan Changsheng looked left and right, then pointed at himself. Me?
Quan Changsheng: "Oh, come on, Immortal. You can't be serious. I'm a mortal. How am I supposed to teach you cultivation?"

Reader's Guide:
1. Girl x boy, 1v1, happy ending, no switching pairings or reversing roles.
2. Mostly lighthearted, though the romance might get a little angsty (?). In truth, both of them are completely open about their feelings for each other.
3. Half coming-of-age story, written to practice a point of view and indulge my own tastes. Please don't criticize it.
4. The female lead might really be a little evil, so consider this a warning.
Theme: Understanding and loving each other, growing together.
