Lin Yu was taken in by a young woman, an elder of a major sect. Apart from her sharp, vicious tongue, she was impossible to fault: beautiful and kind, she had rescued Lin Yu from danger time and again. She even used her influence to secure a place for Lin Yu, whose meridians were blocked and who had no cultivation, letting this nameless country girl become a direct disciple of a major sect and rise to sudden fame. But after Lin Yu entered the sect, everything changed. The young woman refused to accept her tea as a disciple and would not even let Lin Yu call her Master.
But as someone with connections in name only, Lin Yu had to make outsiders believe she had powerful backing if she wanted to survive in the sect.
And those connections had to come from her Master, who was a master in name only.
Content warning: Romance is limited. Lin Yu can only remain kind when doing so does not threaten her own interests.
