Su Shengsheng was the mentor of the number-one cannon fodder on the opposing side of the Dragon Proud Heaven protagonist.
This mentor was fiercely protective.
When the cannon fodder killed someone, she handed him the knife. When he ran short of money, she opened her purse.
When he wanted to date, she forced him to marry the Dragon Proud Heaven protagonist's first love. When he wanted to improve his cultivation, she boldly seized the Dragon Proud Heaven protagonist's opportunity and secret realm.
In the end, to protect her cannon-fodder disciple, the cannon-fodder mentor was injured and entered a death seclusion, retiring from the world.
People always said she was lucky to disappear before the Dragon Proud Heaven protagonist, who hated her, grew powerful. Otherwise, her fate would probably have been terrible.
But no one could have guessed that the Dragon Proud Heaven protagonist didn't hate her. He wanted a mentor like her too.
Situ Zhen suffered endlessly from childhood. His mother died young, his stepmother was unkind, his father was cold, and his mentor was strict.
After enduring countless trials, he eventually became the greatest sword cultivator.
But no one knew that behind his glorious exterior, he had long since developed a heart demon.
His heart demon was his gentle and kind junior martial uncle.
He and Chen Chengzhi became disciples in the same year, but they had completely different mentors.
The Sect Leader, his mentor, casually threw him into a secret realm full of high-level ferocious beasts. He barely made it out alive, only to watch his junior martial uncle claim the realm and turn it into a training ground for his junior disciple.
The Sect Leader told him that if someone caught you doing something wrong, you had to be punished regardless of whether you were right or wrong. He returned on his last breath and saw his junior disciple, who had made a mistake, hiding behind his junior martial uncle without a trace of fear.
The Sect Leader said that if you wanted something, you had to take it for yourself. He was destitute, at a loss over a single low-grade spirit stone. Looking up at the sky, he saw his uncle raise a hand and give his junior disciple a whole spirit mountain.
The Sect Leader told him never to develop a heart demon, or he would be the first to purge the sect. Yet his junior martial uncle told his junior disciple that heart demons were nothing to fear, and the Demon Realm was a fine place to go.
As he ascended, the Heavenly Dao asked him, “What do you want?”
He smiled. In that instant, demonic thoughts surged in his heart.
“I want a good mentor as gentle as my junior martial uncle.”
Su Shengsheng was reborn, though she didn't know why.
She looked at the many disciples gathered below to seek a mentor and furrowed her brow. Why wasn't her disciple from her previous life there?
Instead, she spotted Situ Zhen, who would one day become the greatest sword cultivator.
Their eyes met.
Su Shengsheng was confused.
But Situ Zhen stepped forward and bowed sincerely.
“Your Excellency, I wish to become your disciple.”
The crowd erupted.
Su Shengsheng was even more confused.
She wasn't a sword cultivator, either?
The man was utterly devout, kneeling for a long time without getting up.
Su Shengsheng was touched.
This seemed to be a parallel world.
She, too, was about to begin a new and different chapter of her life.
“Very well. From today onward, you are my disciple, Su Shengsheng's.”
Theme: Only after getting a second chance at life did I finally see that I love you.
