Synopsis

(Complete)

Blurb:

(Chapter comments are enabled.)

After transmigrating one day, Chi Yu inexplicably becomes the first disciple of the Golden Core Master Yan Zening. She waits and waits, but even after two years, her convenient master still hasn't come to claim her.

Chi Yu's inner monologue: You ignore me today, and tomorrow I'll be someone you can't afford to offend.

Three years later, Chi Yu's cultivation level: first tier of Qi Refining. But it doesn't matter. Her convenient master's Golden Core has been stolen, and his cultivation is actually at zero!

The sect dumps the whole mess in her lap.

She has no choice but to take on the task of roughly raising her master... But gradually, she realizes her master isn't as gracious, aloof, and upright as the rumors say.

Meanwhile, as they spend time together, Yan Zening develops an unspeakable, deeply twisted affection for his disciple.

Cultivation stages:

Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Deification, Ascension

P.S. This story follows a tragic love-and-hate route.

Reader's Guide

1. Contains coercive appropriation.

2. The male lead becomes increasingly twisted, in both mind and body.

3. Every plot point serves the author's personal tastes.

4. So feel free to curse out the trash author and the male lead.

5. If this story makes you uncomfortable, please click the X to leave.

About the ending, happy or tragic:

The trash author has no outline and writes one chapter at a time, posting each day's work as it's written. When readers in the comments asked whether it would have a happy or tragic ending, I thought about how to give the two leads a happy ending. Then I realized that doing so would make the rest of the story collapse, with both the heroine and hero completely out of character. To keep the story intact, it will probably have a tragic ending, meaning the two don't end up together, and the heroine returns to the modern world. She may possibly return to the past as well, leaving the ending open. If all else fails, I can write an alternate route.

A heroine of uncertain disposition and a cold, twisted hero

Coming Soon

[System] I'm a Dance Cultivator!

As the girl chosen by the System to save the Kunze Continent, Shi Ran thinks the System has a good eye. Ever since eighth grade, she has believed she has what it takes to save the world. After waiting six years, that long-overdue burden has finally fallen on her shoulders.

System: First I'll make you a body, then install a dance-cultivator System for you, and then send you over.

Shi Ran: What? I've never learned to dance! Give me a different golden finger... Wait...

System: There's no time to change it. Hurry up and get in...

And so, in the Kunze Continent, full of artifact cultivators, mind cultivators, soul cultivators, and martial cultivators, Shi Ran made a stunning debut as its one and only dance cultivator.

1. Absurd, laugh-out-loud comedy.

2. Probably lots of memes.

Theme: Trade sincerity for sincerity.

A Showdown of the Craziest Yanderes

Mostly Older Masters and Younger Disciples

Older master-disciple romances, or any older-top story that really hits the spot for me. Includes a few BG romances. My thing is tops who seem gentle and cool but secretly go berserk: basically, the classic “he runs, he chases, then comes the groveling” setup.

Great Reads to Check Out (I'll Keep Updating This List)

The recommender’s preferences are gloomy, brooding men and honest women, or melodramatic plots and female-bottom stories. If a book doesn’t fit those, it’s still probably one whose writing I think is excellent. Just my personal taste TT

My Fully Purchased Books (Personal Archive)

Most are historical romance, xianxia, wuxia, or fantasy, with a few modern stories mixed in. Some are great, some not so great, and the higher they rank, the better they are.

Romance Novels I've Read: Recommendations and Warnings

Toxic, obsessive love; gloomy, twisted, yandere men; unhinged, self-destructive characters; revenge against society; chasing-the-wife-to-the-crematorium; and redemption stories. I don't mind whether the heroine suffers. I love intense relationships and 1v1 pairings.
