After I Died, My Traitorous Disciples Regretted Everything

Lu Lingshu once had a senior fellow disciple who treated her very well. But later, he was deceived by a seductive demon woman, betrayed the immortal sect, and vanished without a trace.

She searched for a long time, but all she found was her senior brother's child with the demon woman. He had asked her to raise the child and make sure he did not go astray.

She brought the child back to the immortal mountain, took him in as her disciple, named him Ye Bingzhi, and carefully nurtured him, devoting herself to his cultivation.

A hundred years passed. Ye Bingzhi was refined and courteous, upright in character, and exceptionally gifted, a leading figure among the younger generation of the cultivation world.

But then she suddenly learned that she had mistaken the child for someone else. The one she had brought back was not her senior brother's child, but another child who had been abandoned.

Her senior brother's real child, Shen Zhiyue, had suffered terribly while living among ordinary people. He had become sinister and ruthless, deeply calculating, and had even become involved with the demon race.

Beset by a headache, Lu Lingshu brought him back.

From then on, the immortal mountain knew no peace.

The two were at daggers drawn, constantly competing against each other.

Feeling indebted to Shen Zhiyue, she was especially indulgent toward him in everything.

She cared for Ye Bingzhi as his master, but she also could not turn a blind eye to the clumsy tricks Shen Zhiyue played on him.

She tried her best to get them to reconcile and stop fighting each other.

She succeeded.

Her two disciples put aside their differences and joined forces to kill her.

Ye Bingzhi resented her for bringing him to the immortal mountain and breaking her promise that he would be her only disciple.

Shen Zhiyue hated her for leaving him among ordinary people to suffer until he became a monster, neither human nor ghost.

After her death, the cultivation world gained an Immortal Venerable, and the demon world gained a Demon Venerable. The spirit of the Wenling Sword searched for a thousand years, helping her gather her soul again, while a green stone remade her body.

When Lu Lingshu awoke, there was only a sword beside her.

PS:

I feel like this story needs a content warning, but I don't know what to warn for yet.

A correction: most of the characters who have appeared so far are scheming, mentally unstable weirdos. Their thought processes are impossible for normal people to understand. From here on, pretty much everyone will get their comeuppance.

I'll add more details later.

The cover was a gift from Bishui Gugu. Thank you!

Coming soon: After Failing to Win Over the World-Destroying Villain

After Wen Ying bound herself to a System for winning over villains and transmigrated into a book, she became the spoiled young lady of a sect. The villain she was supposed to win over, the Demon Venerable who would destroy the world in the story, was currently suffering in the sect.

The seventeen-year-old boy had it terribly rough. Everyone bullied and humiliated him. Wen Ying, who had never suffered much in her life, couldn't stand to watch. She wanted to survive, but also wanted to help him, so she began her mission to win him over.

Unfortunately, she had arrived three years too late. The kind and lively heroine from the book had reached out to him when he was at his lowest, and had already become the most important person in his life.

She thought, It's fine. If I'm sincere enough, surely I'll succeed?

When he was falsely accused of stealing pills and a cultivation manual, she stood behind him and went everywhere to clear his name. When the disciples bullied him, she chased them off with her sword and punished them according to the sect rules.

After he broke into the sect's forbidden grounds, she took three hundred Spirit-Severing Whip lashes in his place, shattering her bones and sinews and leaving her unable to cultivate ever again. Then, carrying him on her back after he was gravely injured saving the heroine, she climbed an entire medicinal mountain and knelt to beg a morally corrupt medicinal cultivator to save him. She kowtowed until her face was bloody and battered, then fainted from exhaustion.

Later, he returned to the demon world, and she went with him.

She took a sword for him, fell into the Ghosts' Abyss for him, and was covered in wounds for him. Even walking a few steps made her cough blood.

She had done everything she could. In the end, she could no longer tell whether she was doing it to complete the mission or because she truly cared for him.

But she still failed.

In his heart, nothing she did could compare to the paper umbrella that someone else had given him one rainy night.

On the day she died, demonic energy erupted around her, and she coughed up so much blood she nearly passed out. Most of the demon guards had been sent to protect the heroine, who had run off to the demon world in a fit of pique.

Only a handful of demon guards were by her side. She died easily.

A moment before her death, the mission failed completely, but the System did not immediately erase her.

It asked whether she hated him.

She did.

The System's voice crackled in her ear: Then let him win you over.

When she opened her eyes again, she was no longer the spoiled young lady of a sect. She was the second daughter of the wealthy Wen family in the mortal world, a malicious and capricious girl who beat and berated the servants at the slightest provocation.

The villain was a servant of the Wen family, and the heroine was Wen family's concubine-born daughter.

This time, she had not arrived too late. She could reach out to him before the heroine did and make him fall in love with her.

But she merely glanced down at him, slowly tore the paper umbrella to shreds, then turned and left, having his legs broken and leaving him to stand in the rain all night.

Xie Bujue, this time, you're the one who has to win me over.
