Everyone knows that Nan Hua has a young marshal named Yan Ci, who hides her face behind a ghost mask. Few people have ever seen her true appearance.

She joined the army at twelve, became a general at eighteen, and at just twenty-three already holds the marshal's seal and commands the army. No one can match her on the battlefield.

But Heaven is jealous of talent. Just after Marshal Yan returned victorious from battle and took command, her old illness flared up, and she died in the Marshal's Residence. The Emperor of Nan Hua personally went to console the three armies.

Yan Ci could only laugh at that. What old illness? That old emperor was merely afraid that her achievements would overshadow his authority.

But was Yan Ci the sort to sit around and wait for death?

She grabbed a knife and fought her way out. Who could stop her?

In the capital of Dong Xia, everyone knows that Princess Jinluan, Ye Qingling, brought home a rather handsome little fool after an outing. She dotes on him and keeps him pampered in the palm of her hand. No one is allowed to lay a finger on him. He's practically the world's most beautiful kept man.

Inside the Princess's residence:

Yan Ci (seriously): I'm not a little fool.

Ye Qingling: Mm-hmm, you're not a little fool. (In her heart: He's a big fool.)

Yan Ci (seriously): I'm not a pretty boy.

Ye Qingling: Mm-hmm, you're not a pretty boy. (In her heart: He's a very pretty boy.)

Coming next: My Disciple Has My Back, So I Can Do Whatever I Want

One second before dying to heavenly tribulation, Yan Wang was still worrying about whether her little disciple, who had only just reached the Golden Core stage, would survive the Age of Declining Dharma and live to see spiritual energy return.

A thousand years later, Yan Wang struck a deal with the Heavenly Dao and returned to the mortal world under its protection.

Her body had shrunk, her cultivation was gone, and she no longer had a spiritual root, but none of that could stop her from being a master's devoted, loving mentor to her beloved disciple. So why wasn't things turning out the way she'd imagined?

When she saw the adorable, soft-hearted disciple from her memories again, Yan Wang rushed over excitedly, only to be caught off guard by the memorial tablet in her beloved disciple's hands.

Revered Master Wuwang

Yan Wang: ??? Who died?!

When Shi Yi first saw Yan Wang, looking like a little beggar, she remembered the day she had first met that person. She, too, had been destitute and bewildered. Fortunately, a pair of incredibly warm hands had reached out to her, and that was how Shi Yi had become who she was today.

“Child, would you like to become my disciple? Join my sect, and no one in the world will ever dare bully you again.” The low voice sounded just like the words spoken by that person a thousand years ago.

Yan Wang: Meow meow meow? Whose sect am I joining? My unfilial disciple is bullying her master!!!

Years later, Yan Wang lay sprawled across the bed, her back aching and her legs weak. Gritting her teeth, she pounded the mattress. So what if her disciple was bullying her? It wasn't like she didn't know how to do the same!
