On the day her eldest disciple Feng Liansheng ascended, Immortal Qinghe finally learned the entire plot of the book she had transmigrated into, How to Handle Having a Master Who Loves Me Too Much.
Her eldest disciple was the original male lead, and the heroine was on her way to ask him to be her master. Qinghe was merely the source of his cultivation and techniques, appearing in only a few lines of the book.
"Qinghe was cruel by nature and took the greatest pleasure in tormenting him. She came up with vicious methods such as cleansing his marrow in an icy spring, tempering his body in a golden cauldron, and letting evil spirits devour his soul. Feng Liansheng pretended to comply, endured a century of humiliation, and finally obtained her supreme cultivation technique, becoming the strongest in the Six Realms."
Heaven as my witness, she had only come up with those methods after racking her brains to improve her disciple's naturally useless five-element spiritual roots and damaged core. The process was painful, sure, but the results were good: her eldest disciple had reached a very high level of cultivation, second only to her in the Six Realms.
Reborn before her eldest disciple became her student, Qinghe kicked him away.
Now the once-revered first disciple, praised by everyone for his integrity, gentleness, and generosity, intends to sever her meridians with seventy-two bone-tempering nails, destroy her pure yin constitution, and imprison her in endless darkness.
Qinghe: Heh, do as you like.
Feng Liansheng: Second Junior Brother is a blade of grass. Feed him to the sheep. Third Junior Brother is a vulture. Put him in the stew. Fourth Junior Sister is a demoness. Anyone not of our kind must die. Fifth Junior Brother ate the sect out of house and home. Why not send him back to the heavens as a shooting star?
Qinghe: Disciple, hold on!
Theme: Treat others as you would yourself, and love yourself and others
