The Begonia Venerable Returns to Work on Jinjiang

I'm finishing up the outline and will start writing soon. The blurb is from the male lead's perspective, while the story itself is from the female lead's perspective.

(It's really a silly comedy at heart.)

Shen Hongxi is the aloof, self-possessed master in a Haitang story, a man devoted to cultivating the Dao and obsessed with his sword. His greatest wish is to pass down his Hanxuan Sword Art.

But his corrupted disciple lusts after him, as do the deranged Demon Lord and the seductive Demon King. After they join forces and drive him to the brink, he learns that these lunatics aren't after his swordsmanship, but his body...

Give it a try and you'll die.

Furious that his peerless art would be lost forever, he jumps off a cliff.

Then he transmigrates into a Master in a Jinjiang novel.

The moment he opens his eyes, he sees a group of people who look like disciples making accusations:

Knowing that Junior Sister was badly injured saving her and desperately needs spirit herbs, Senior Sister Tao still used up all the medicinal herbs without permission!

She's jealous that Junior Sister has taken your affection, so she deliberately picked on her!

Although Senior Sister Tao climbed out of the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss herself and saw you take a Junior Sister who looks eighty percent like her as your disciple, that place is so dangerous we couldn't risk our lives for her!

What? What kind of melodramatic white-moonlight-and-replacement plot is this?

This Master just wants to find someone to inherit the Hanxuan Sword Art he's spent a century mastering.

He looks toward the girl everyone is pointing fingers at. Beautiful and aloof, her eyes brim with resentment.

Her spiritual roots are perfectly suited to his Hanxuan Sword Art, and her talent is exceptional.

Shen Hongxi feels the urge to teach someone.

In the silence of everyone's schadenfreude, he hears:

[Hah, sure enough, Master is still as cold and heartless as ever]

[I fell into the abyss picking detoxifying herbs for him, and they took in a replacement instead. How laughable]

[I won't remind them again that the replacement is part of a plot by the Demonic Realm]

[Reborn once, I know I'll become the greatest sword cultivator]

Excellent, child. You're the one.

His Hanxuan Sword Art will have an heir.

[I've read enough stories where the heroine saves the hero, so I'm writing the opposite to please myself]

Theme: Break free of the limits imposed by social and historical circumstances, and live as your true self.
