[The Big Shot and Her Little Sidekick]
Yanran was a newly born Heavenly Dao.
Ever since she became conscious, she had worked to balance all things in the world, embracing and understanding it with love. But the world's inhabitants insulted and cursed her, branding her a villain who couldn't stand the sight of geniuses and viewed all living things as ants.
They banded together against Yanran, and in the end, she perished, her soul extinguished.
With the Heavenly Dao fallen, all order and laws vanished into nothingness, and this world was about to be devoured by another civilization.
To save his home and the Heavenly Dao caught up in the catastrophe, someone turned the tide. He traded a thousand years of cultivation to push time back a hundred years, saving the Heavenly Dao and protecting their world.
This time, Yanran washed her hands of it all.
Someone denounced the Heavenly Dao as unjust. Yanran said, “Yeah, yeah, sure. It was never fair to begin with.”
Someone cursed the Heavenly Dao for being heartless. Yanran said, “You're not even human, so why should I show you kindness?”
Someone begged the Heavenly Dao for mercy. Yanran said, “Thanks for asking, but I just want to beat you to death.”
After these people were reborn and learned the Heavenly Dao had been innocent, they tried to reform the now-corrupted Heavenly Dao. They came up with every possible way to win her over, only to be beaten until they wept and could find no peace.
In the end, with no other choice, they delivered one person to Yanran, bound hand and foot.
Yanran gladly accepted the gift, then went even more mad.

Yu Zhen Sha had scattered all his life's cultivation to save the people of the world and make amends to the Heavenly Dao, becoming a frail, sickly cripple with no cultivation.
Unable to persuade or defeat the Heavenly Dao, those people had no choice but to bind him and beg her not to abandon them.
Yu Zhen Sha spent several months by Yanran's side, intending to save her, but eventually decided to go mad right along with her. When Yanran wanted to trick someone, he did the dirty work. When she wanted to kill, he killed for her. When she wanted to destroy a sect, he swept it away with a single sword.
The Heavenly Dao had done nothing wrong. And even if she had, he would bear the blame for her.
A few years later, Yu Zhen Sha, whose crimes were too numerous to record, was blasted to ashes by heavenly lightning during his tribulation.
Decades later, someone saw the Heavenly Dao take the form of all living things, with someone by her side.
A sweet-on-the-outside, ruthless and unhinged woman x a beautiful man who goes mad alongside her
Coming soon: What If Redemption Fails?
The male lead, Yun Zhe, is a classic beautiful-but-tragic, unhinged character. After enduring one tragedy after another, including having his spiritual roots and Dao body stolen, he turns evil. The female lead is someone who transmigrated into a book. Reborn, she tries to reform him, but fails repeatedly, until they finally die together.
That was the outline of Mu Youzhi's new novel.
Unfortunately, she herself transmigrated into this novel, which only existed as an outline, and became the male lead's nominal master.
Mu Youzhi knew the reformative approach wouldn't work, so she stabbed Yun Zhe right off the bat, decided to play the villain to the end, and planned to send the male lead to his grave.
Unfortunately, Yun Zhe didn't die. Not only did he survive, he even broke through thanks to the incident.
Mu Youzhi gave herself a whole slew of golden fingers as the creator, but they still couldn't compare to Yun Zhe's breakthroughs in battle, triumphs over stronger opponents, and growing stronger the closer he came to death.
Just as she was ready to lie flat and give up, she discovered that the male lead had lost his memory.
Mu Youzhi deliberately lied to him: “We're master and disciple, and we're very close. You love helping people, and you're a kind, gentle man.”
Mu Youzhi successfully set the male lead back on the right track, guiding him to become a wholesome young man with the right values.
After she'd completely reformed him, Mu Youzhi found a way back to her own world.
She brushed him off: “I have to go away for a while. I'll be back later.”

Yun Zhe harbored dark thoughts about the master who had saved him.
He wanted to reach out and touch that distant cloud. He wanted to gently take her in his arms. He even coveted the place of her cultivation partner.
Perhaps his intentions were discovered by his master. In disbelief, she stabbed him and cast him out of the sect.
Yun Zhe had been rejected by everyone all his life. He thought that perhaps it would be better to die this way.
But he didn't die. He even crawled out of the demonic realm and stood before his master again.
He crossed muddy ground and waded through seas of blood, washing away the filth on his body and presenting himself as someone pure, untouched by the mire. He pretended to have lost his memory and been reformed, staying by her side as a well-behaved, considerate disciple. But one day, she no longer wanted him.
Yun Zhe went mad.
Reader's guide:
1. The female lead is morally ambiguous but leans kind, and isn't a typical unhinged character.
2. My take on xianxia, with plenty of plain, modern language.
3. Both leads' names come from classical Chinese poetry.
4. It probably won't be all that satisfying.
5. I bought the cover art of the girl from Shui Mo Dan Qing. It's not exclusive!
Theme: Heaven gives life to all things to nourish humanity, yet humanity has nothing to offer in return.
This cover looks so familiar. Have you ever played the song Deep Palace in Yi Diyuan? There is an example painting that looks particularly similar to this eye.
Those who can be killed by monks in this world are all unqualified Heavenly Dao!
