Yun Wuxin never imagined that his usually obedient little disciple, who behaved with such propriety she was like a timid quail around him, was not only a brazen ruffian but also coveted his handsome appearance now that the seal had been lifted. She had even mastered the ways of a charming playboy to perfection.
Every day, she disguised herself as a man and flirted with him, her teacher, while telling him she was only a stand-in and warning him not to fall for her because she wouldn't take responsibility.
Yun Wuxin patiently tried to guide his disciple, but she only went further and further overboard.
To keep her in line, he could only accept the Chen family's marriage proposal.
Chen Zhihai, inwardly thrilled but pretending to be confused, cornered him against a wall. "Shizun, are we engaged?"
Yun Wuxin replied calmly, "My heart demon was acting up. I just remembered!"
Chen Zhihai knew she would have to fan the flames a little to win the beauty's heart. She moved closer and said, "The storybooks say a kiss will make the heart demon go away."
Yun Wuxin laughed in exasperation. Not only had she failed to rein it in, she'd even started flirting with her own shizun.
"The differences between your stand-ins are quite something."
Chen Zhihai watched as her youthful shizun turned into Mr. Yun, a man in his thirties.
Oh no. She'd only flirted with a stand-in to ease her longing, never expecting to end up flirting with the real person.
How could she make her shizun believe that he was the only one she had ever wanted to bring home to the mountain?
★Special Note★
Yun Wuxin is my moonlight. I've revised this story countless times and may keep revising it until it's complete, all for my own enjoyment. I write slowly, but I won't abandon it.
I've finished two novels, and I feel my writing skills aren't good enough to do this character justice, so I won't continue writing for now. I'm just putting it on hold, not abandoning it.

★The Wider Setting★
The gods fell, immortals and demons remained. As immortals and demons declined, mortals arose. Mortals became gods again, and the world turned in cycles.
In ancient times, the brilliant god clans gradually declined after reaching their peak. They fell in a single day, leaving behind only a few places where gods had fallen.
With no god clans left to suppress them, ancient demons and monsters ran rampant.
In the original era, the demon and immortal clans fought together for survival, putting aside their differences in kind and working as one. As the ages rolled on, the demons and monsters were beaten back again and again, until they went into hiding in the forests.
As spiritual energy grew increasingly scarce and the immortals and demons declined, more and more people with no abilities appeared. Their numbers grew until they gradually formed a new race: mortals.
Most mortals lived peaceful lives, with a lifespan of only a hundred years.
Some sought the guidance of the immortal and demon clans so they could protect their people and ensure their peace. They became cultivators of the immortal or demonic paths.
Meanwhile, the immortal and demon clans needed enough spiritual energy to survive, and their conflicts grew more numerous until war finally broke out.
The foremost immortal among the cultivators, Yun Xu, the first head of the Yun family of Shuiyunkuan, stepped forward to negotiate. The two clans withdrew to the places where the gods had fallen: the demon clan to the Realm of Nothingness, and the immortal clan to Floating Cloud Island. Thus began the present era.
After thousands of years, mortal life has become warm and lively, full of flesh and blood, vitality, and color.
It also holds entangled karma and wreaking heart demons, all born of love unreturned and desires unfulfilled.

I would like to make a comment. The introduction is too long. There is too much content and I can't see the key points. It's not attractive enough. Come on.
