Muhua is the female supporting character who serves as the master of a typical male protagonist in a Chinese web novel. Yes, the master of an emotionless cultivation-path, level-up-as-you-go male lead.
She's useless and hopelessly romantic. She could have benefited from his success, but instead she insisted on defying fate and starting an earth-shattering master-disciple romance with him.
She lived and died for him, banged her head against a wall for him, and even gave him her one and only life-bound lotus heart to help him cultivate.
Everyone told her not to delude herself. They despised her for overestimating her worth, but she didn't care. She thought she could win her beloved's heart this way. Little did she know that, with the Great Dao almost within his grasp, he would choose to kill his wife to prove his Dao.
A century of devotion, ending in such a fate.
That sword thrust her back to the beginning.
Reborn, she learned her lesson the hard way and resolved to cut off all romantic entanglements. A master-disciple romance was far too unreliable.
But then she thought that growing old alone would be rather lonely, so she changed her mind and vowed to raise a good disciple who would take care of her in her old age.
A failed account (find a new one) and start over (raise a child), right? The more, the merrier. So she chose four new disciples.
But she never expected all four to be male protagonists with stories of their own, and what's more... none of them seemed interested in honoring their master!
Second disciple (a world-destroying, lovesick Demon Venerable male lead): Master is the only soft spot in my heart. I would make myself her prison and keep her there for life.
Third disciple (the domineering young master of the demon clan, a male lead in the cultivation world): Master, your enemy, the Wang clan, has been wiped out. I also bought you several spiritual ley lines.
Fourth disciple (a childhood friend and male lead in a rejected son-in-law story): So what if she has sworn off love and broke off our engagement? I'll stay by her side. I can even marry into her family and become her disciple.
Fifth disciple (a male lead in an erotic novel about the Hehuan Sect): Master, [censored].

Later, Muhua's ex-husband, the level-up-as-you-go male lead who killed his wife to prove his Dao, flew his sword across the Bohai Sea, braved the Valley of No Return at the risk of his life, and abandoned the weeping cultivators behind him. He broke with the emotionless path and resolutely changed his cultivation path, all to personally bring her the Oathstone used to propose marriage.
After changing his cultivation path, before he could say a word, four weapons blocked his way.
Amid the flashing blades, at the brink of life and death, only one thought filled his heart:
To see Muhua smile at him again.
#The first thing she did after being reborn was swear off love
#They once hated me so much. Why are they now consumed by regret?
One-on-one romance + everyone loves her + melodrama + no cheating. Not a harem, with one male lead.
Theme: Respect yourself and fight fate
