Is My Obsessive Disciple Still Pretending to Be Good Today?

[Updated daily] Sharp-tongued, aloof-on-the-outside commentator heroine x insecure, possessive, jealous hero A tale of resenting the moon for shining high above, but not on me: 1v1, both leads are each other's first, female master and male disciple, happy ending After dying, Yan Qingshu transmigrates into a book as the villainous master. According to the System, she must raise her eldest disciple, the arrogant chosen one, and die at his hands to earn her freedom and a new life. Otherwise, the System will erase her. Facing the arrogant chosen one day after day, with his disheveled appearance and endless messes for her to clean up, Yan Qingshu turns to look at her well-behaved, obedient junior disciple, Shen Jingzhan. At last, she can breathe again after nearly choking on her exasperation. Until one day, when they're both drunk... "Master, do you like me more, or Senior Brother?" Yan Qingshu shakes her head, her pale eyes unfocused and hazy. "There's no comparison..." One is a walking disaster, the other is a well-behaved disciple. How could they even be compared? Yan Qingshu thinks to herself, unaware that Shen Jingzhan's gaze is growing darker by the moment. Shen Jingzhan lost both his parents as a child. At seven, he nearly died in a fire, but the original host rescued him and took him in as a disciple. Then, for the next nine years, the original host forgot all about him. He resented his master for nine years, yet after he "reunited" with her, he couldn't stop himself from drawing near. She said she liked the strong, so he trained with everything he had, hoping she'd look at him instead of only at his exceptionally gifted senior brother. Until his spiritual root was shattered, forcing him to fall into demonic cultivation and leave the sect. His eyes red, each word dripping with anguish, he said, "Anyone else can doubt me, Master, but not you..." "..." Yan Qingshu said nothing, driving her life-bound spiritual sword into Shen Jingzhan's chest. With a heart full of grievance and resentment, he successfully refined the demonic energy and returned, only to hear the news of his master's death. Many years later, Shen Jingzhan finally catches up with Yan Qingshu, who had faked her death and disappeared. But Yan Qingshu had expected this. She glances up at him. "After I died, you didn't go crazy and do anything stupid, did you?" "Of course not." The once-terrifying demon lord of the cultivation world kneels before Yan Qingshu, reverently lifting a strand of her hair and kissing it. "How would this disciple dare cause Master any trouble?" In short: One guides you through the fog with the last of their life, while the other shatters every constraint and returns to give you a new beginning. Reading guide: 1.

In their first life, Qin Yunmo was the first to overcome her tribulation, only to be struck until her soul was scattered. A hundred years later, her soul reassembles. On a whim, she decides to disguise herself as the inner demon of her archrival, who cultivates the Heartless Way, and disrupt his cultivation. But the moment she appears, Gongye Xiao throws her into a body and immediately pins her down. Qin Yunmo is baffled. "Aren't you cultivating the Heartless Way?" Gongye Xiao, whose Heartless Way broke long ago: "No. It's the Way of Dual Cultivation with you." In her second life, Qin Yunmo is reborn before joining a sect. She chooses to stay far away from Gongye Xiao, and they join sects with no connection to each other. They meet again at the sect tournament, where Gongye Xiao is defeated by her sword. Qin Yunmo figures she's dealt with her archrival and turns to leave, but Gongye Xiao, lying on the ground, grabs her ankle. "Where do you think you're going?" In her third life, Qin Yunmo opens her eyes to find herself in the same body, with the same archrival she can't shake no matter what she does. Qin Yunmo raises her sword to kill herself. "Just leave me alone." Gongye Xiao, having fallen into demonic cultivation, kneels. "What must I do for you to grant me even a sliver of affection?"
