Synopsis

[The audio drama of the same name is now available on Manbo. Give it a listen!]

[The main story is complete. Extras will be updated whenever inspiration strikes. The next book will tell the story of Liu Xunqin and Yue Changge. If you're interested, feel free to add it to your reading list!]

[Starting April 22, the story will go premium from Chapter 22 onward. There'll be a 10,000-word update on launch day. Thanks for your support!]

Yun Shuchen is a respected elder, graceful and charming, beautiful and wealthy, a rare gem in the cultivation world.

The only drawback is that, despite her formidable cultivation, she's physically frail and delicate, like Xi Shi, a willow bending in the breeze. She catches a chill eight times a year, in every season.

Qing Zhouxue, the only disciple of Crane Garment Peak, worries endlessly over her. She fans her master in summer, keeps her warm in winter, adds layers when it's cold, cools her down when it's hot, and makes sure she takes her medicine on time. She strives to be the perfect, devoted disciple.

When her master coughs through the night and can't sleep, Qing Zhouxue draws her into her arms and soothes her to sleep until dawn.

When her master works herself to exhaustion over sect affairs, her face pale, Qing Zhouxue frowns, unable to stand by, and takes over all the work, inside and out.

When her master can't fight and coughs blood behind her hand, her eyes shimmering with tears, Qing Zhouxue is so alarmed that she draws her sword and lets her master point out whom to strike.

Until one day, Qing Zhouxue suddenly realizes the truth.

It's all a scheme.

Yun Shuchen cast a divination and stumbled upon a great opportunity.

She thought it would be some rare treasure of heaven and earth.

She never expected it to be an eight-year-old child, a calamity-bringing little loner who'd already brought about the deaths of her entire family, with one tribulation after another on the horizon.

In the end, the girl cost her time, money, and half a mountain peak, nearly leaving her bankrupt.

And, finally, her heart.

Time passed, and the little calamity had grown into a graceful young woman. Cool-eyed and clad in flowing white, her swordsmanship was so natural it astonished the world. Everyone in the sect praised their senior sister as a heaven-blessed genius, destined to ascend to immortality.

She was a snowflake drifting down from the heavens, pure and spotless, falling in abundance upon the mortal world.

The only problem was that she was so aloof, so young, so utterly clueless about romance, and stubbornly slow to catch on.

In romance stories, rebellious disciples seduce their masters. In real life, her obedient disciple was so straightforward it gave her headaches.

Rumor had it that the already sickly master of Crane Garment Peak had grown even more delicate, to the point that she couldn't live without her disciple.

A cool, gentle disciple x a sickly, delicate master

1v1, happy ending, switch, slow burn

Theme: Building a harmonious new sect.

Shocking and delicious. I can't bring myself to give it five stars, but I'll gradually make up for it later.

Angsty and Steamy Yuri

I’m not into pure fluff. I love smart, seductive, yandere characters. Most of these are about lovers reuniting after a breakup, with a delicious mix of sweetness and angst. (Rated 4.8 or higher)

Yuri Novels I Personally Recommend

Well-written stories with characters whose actions make sense and no mistreatment of women. Female characters should make up at least 98% of the cast. I especially like characters who feel full of life. Please feel free to correct me if any of my comments are mistaken.

I'll keep track here of books I've finished or am reading. If I don't add them, it won't let me give everything a good rating. So annoying, so annoying.

A Bit of Everything in GL: Top, Bottom, and Switch

I prefer switch pairings, but I read other kinds too. I love equally matched couples who fall for each other, and prefer romance to take up more of the story than the plot. More to come; this list updates slowly.
