Jiang Xing is the leader of a struggling sect. Her greatest hobby is taking in disciples, refusing no one and sharing her mentorship with all, then sending them off to restore the sect.
But after taking in a whole circle of disciples, she realizes they've all had pretty tragic lives.
Her second disciple was once an ordinary farm girl, beautiful, kind-hearted, practical, and hardworking. Then one day, she found a handsome, gravely injured man on the road, and her peaceful life became full of twists and turns.
When the man woke up, he decided he could never repay her for saving his life, so he might as well repay kindness with betrayal. Once he recovered, he slaughtered her entire village.
Then he decided she resembled the idealized crush he could never have, so he took her away. He was infatuated with her looks and fond of her personality, yet thought she was too lowly and worthless to be with him.
When he was happy, he coaxed her with gentle words. When he was displeased, he insulted and trampled on her.
Looking at the determined young woman, Jiang Xing said, "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Never look down on a poor girl. Today he treats you like dirt, but one day you'll make him your lapdog."
Her third disciple was an orphan girl from the Demon Realm. As the last descendant of an ancient family, she was born with demonic bones and destined to become a powerful demon. Her children would inevitably inherit great talent, too. So the ruler of the Demon Realm took a special interest in her and even announced that he would marry her.
But demons revered the survival of the fittest and loved slaughter and chaos, while she longed for a peaceful, stable life.
She fled the Demon Realm, and its ruler pursued her all the way into the mortal world.
His favor and her innate demonic bones inevitably drew countless jealous, covetous eyes. Eventually, her demonic bones were taken and her beauty destroyed. The ruler of the Demon Realm, who had once professed his deep love for her, simply turned away and discarded her like trash.
Looking at the girl, her face veiled in black and her body covered in scars, Jiang Xing said, "Who says demons have to struggle in chaos and bloodshed? You're not the one who's wrong. The entire Demon Realm is. Take this divine artifact called Love and Peace and create order and a new beginning for the demons!"
Her fourth disciple was once the youngest elder of a neighboring sect, a former prodigy who had grown into a powerful expert.
She was aloof and taciturn, but as far as she was concerned, she had done her utmost for the sect that raised her. Yet for some reason, no one in the sect liked her, and they were wary of her at every turn.
Then, while leading her disciples on a trial in a secret realm, she was gravely injured protecting them. A hundred years of delusion ended in a single moment, and she realized she was merely a side character in a story, destined to be the villainess.
No matter what she did, others saw ulterior motives in it. Her concern for everyone in the sect was dismissed as fake, and her slaying of monsters to protect the towns and villages below the mountain was called a bid for fame.
No wonder the fellow disciples who had once been close to her had all abandoned her. No wonder everyone suspected and despised her, yet had no choice but to respect her because of her strength.
Looking at the cool, otherworldly woman, Jiang Xing said, "Wait, friend, isn't it a little weird that you came to me to become my disciple? Oh, well. If you come, you're my disciple. If this is Heaven's will, then defy Heaven's will. If this is fate, then defy fate. You've always had a proud spirit. Why bow your head?"
Jiang Xing: I only took in disciples so I could slack off and have them support me and rebuild my sect. So why am I getting busier the more disciples I take in?
She turned to look at her unruly eldest disciple. "Sure, you caused trouble as soon as you joined, you're always first into a fight, and you're like a firecracker that goes off at the slightest touch. You don't listen or respect your elders, but at least you're easy to deal with!"
Eldest disciple: "See that god floating in the sky? He's my enemy. There's still time to kick me out of the sect."
Jiang Xing: "..."

Initial concept: Shameless and invincible master × unruly eldest senior sister
The scumbags include both men and women.
There may be more disciples than the ones mentioned in the blurb.
I might revise the blurb later.
I think I've improved. At least this time I put the love interest in the blurb [lights cigarette].
