[Blurb for My Obsessive Disciple Has His Eye on Me:]

After dutifully serving as the ruler of the Six Realms for several hundred years, Fuyue felt utterly exhausted, in poor health, and worn down in body and spirit.

To make life a little easier, she picked a young man up from the snow and took him in as a disciple to help with her daily affairs.

Her new disciple was named Fengxi. He was handsome, obedient, and very capable. But whenever he saw her interacting with another man, his expression would tighten and his gaze turn cold and gloomy.

Fuyue didn't think much of it. Talented people all had their quirks.

Later, Fuyue decided to make up for a regret and marry an emperor she had once descended to the mortal realm with to undergo a trial, so she could experience the tender beauty of love.

On the day of the wedding, Fengxi arrived with a sword. His blade flashed like a rainbow. In the space of a few moments, he killed Fuyue's groom and the guests who harbored ulterior motives.

Kneeling amid a sea of blood, he gently helped her put on her shoes and socks. His bloodstained face wore an obedient smile. "In all the Six Realms, only I am worthy of standing by Master's side, dressed in red with you as we feast with guests from every direction."

He pressed his cheek against the back of her hand, his eyes tinged red. "Do you understand, Master?"

After wiping out his entire species and achieving his lifelong wish, Fengxi decided to go to the frigid north and die.

The frigid north was deserted. Just as he raised his palm to end his life, a lazy female voice suddenly came from behind him. "Who are you? Why have you come here?"

He turned around and saw, amid the swirling snow, the brightest moon in the nine heavens.

A poisonous mushroom growing in a damp cave knows that sunlight will kill it if it touches it, but it still can't help peeking out, greedy for that hidden tenderness.

He lowered his hands, swept his robe aside, and knelt. "Please take me as your disciple, Lady Fuyue."

A person needs a purpose to keep living.

He spent long years laying a vast trap, all to drag the moon into his filthy yet pure love.

"Little Extra"

When they first met, Fengxi knelt at Fuyue's feet. "Your disciple is willing to die for you, Master."

Later, he pinned her against the bed. "I can die for you, but first we have to consummate the marriage."

Fuyue: "...I've been tricked."

[Blurb for this story]

On the fifteenth day of the third month, Grand Tutor Ling, whose power overshadowed the court, entered the palace and asked the emperor for a princess's hand in marriage.

The emperor was constantly worried that he would rebel, and naturally didn't want to strengthen his power. So he pointed at the princess he liked least, the eldest princess Chiyao, and gave her to Grand Tutor Ling.

Grand Tutor Ling looked at the frail young girl, who was a full ten years younger than him, and knitted his brows in displeasure.

Only after the kingdom fell and his family was destroyed did the emperor realize that the daughter he had always hated would become the sharpest blade at his throat.

After eighteen years of careful planning, Chiyao escaped the palace that devoured its own. She even managed to take a fine husband along with her.

Many years later, Grand Tutor Ling, now successfully enthroned as emperor, still remembered the first time he met his wife.

That night, moonlight flowed like water. The beautiful young woman looked up at him, tears shimmering in her eyes, and said, "I am but a delicate vine, and I wish to cling to a sturdy tree."

The candlelight flickered in the room. Looking at the peerless young empress beside him, he couldn't help smiling. She was no delicate vine. She was an opium poppy.

Once you tasted her, you couldn't stop.

Time for the usual bragging:

1. A female lead who plays the fool to catch her prey x a male lead with a head full of schemes.

2. The female lead is a thoroughly dark-hearted lotus, and the male lead is a bona fide villain.

3. A scheming couple in cahoots, playing the villains (though they do have some basic principles).

4. Slow burn, one-on-one romance, happy ending, both leads are virgins.
