Deviation

The novel will be complete next Monday. Thank you for your support.

1.

When Tao Ange was ten, she was so rebellious and mischievous that her father, in a fit of anger, dumped her in the mountains. To temper her, he had her learn wood carving from an old friend's son.

So ten-year-old Tao Ange became an apprentice. Her old man grabbed her by the collar and pushed her in front of a young man, where she held out a cup of tea and called him "Master."

That young man's name was Wen Tingjun.

Tao Ange and Wen Tingjun spent ten years together as master and apprentice.

Back then, Tao Ange would shamelessly plead with Wen Tingjun: "No matter how old I get, I'm still just a little kid in front of you, Master. So you still have to spoil me."

Wen Tingjun would only smile and say nothing.

Later, gazing into her master's ever-gentle eyes, unchanged through the years, Tao Ange asked plaintively, "Wen Tingjun, can you stop treating me like a child from now on?"

No one knew what Tao Ange was feeling. She had secretly fallen in love with the man she called Master.

Wen Tingjun's ancestors belonged to a distinguished family in the traditional woodcarving trade.

By the time the business reached his father's generation, profit-hungry merchants were exploiting the Wen family's craft for their own gain.

To protect the family's art, Wen Tingjun's father took him into the mountains when he was sixteen, where he vowed never to enter the world.

But he never expected a little girl to barge into his life and make him break that vow for her.

Wen Tingjun was talented and composed. He had never regretted anything in his life, including falling in love with his apprentice.

Uniformity means having no deviation.

Tao Ange was his one and only deviation.

My next novel, "The Sun on a Deserted Island," is up for preorder. Please add it to your reading list!

Pei Lianqiao, nicknamed "the Sun of the Class," accidentally broke transfer student Du Siyu's water bottle and took notice of the boy who never smiled.

At first, Du Siyu resisted the girl's enthusiastic advances, but eventually he grew used to them.

Then one day, he suddenly realized the sun he liked didn't shine on him alone.

Du Siyu was an outsider in his class.

He didn't like interacting with anyone, but Pei Lianqiao was an exception.

She was very kind to him, but she was just as kind to everyone else.

He had to find a way to become the one and only person in her heart.

"Pei Lianqiao, could you stop being so nice to everyone else?"

"I want you to be nice only to me."

I am an isolated island floating on a dark sea, and you are the only sun that can reach me.

Warmhearted, innocent little sun x lonely, beautiful, strong but miserable young master

Theme: Learn to be a decent person, then strive for the top.
