The Rebellious Disciple Keeps Trying to Overstep His Bounds

A new novel coming soon: My Husband Betrayed Me. Please add it to your reading list!

Yunjing, an immortal of the Fuluo Sect, has had a life of smooth sailing. If she were in a good-for-nothing novel, she would surely be some hidden master who casually helped the protagonist. If she were in a story about a max-level expert returning to the novice village, she would certainly be the protagonist's powerful friend from a past life. Even in a talent-based story about destroying the world, she would at the very least be the respected master of the protagonist.

In short, everything always went her way, without a single bump in the road.

Yunjing had always been keenly aware of her good fortune, so she spent years doing good deeds. When her former fiancé entrusted his orphaned child to her, she accepted without a second thought.

Yunjing felt she had done more than enough for her old friend's son. Perhaps she hadn't doted on him, but at least she'd kept him well fed and clothed. She was delighted when the orphan, just like her in years past, took first place in the immortal sect competition. She had been a little late to congratulate him because she'd been doing her daily good deed, but why did this cheap disciple have to barge into her home and corner her, asking again and again...

"In Master's eyes, how do I fall short of my father?"

*

Cangze is a secret the Fuluo Sect has kept from the great immortal sects. He is envied by all for having the youngest true immortal in the world as his master, yet he envies everyone who can express their love for her.

As the years passed, he finally understood that he had only been "fortunate" enough to lose his father, so his father's old friend and former fiancée had taken him in.

His master was reluctant to have him around and avoided him as if he were a snake or scorpion. So he changed his appearance, wheedled and coaxed, and insisted on inviting her into his red bridal tent.

After all, he had always been good at overcoming the strong with the weak, and at defying his superiors.

Coming soon: My Husband Betrayed Me

Blurb:

Yingying was raised by kidnappers. She had no name of her own, and people often called her "Yingying" because her voice was sweeter than an oriole's.

So, on the first day she was brought to the manor, when the young master asked her name, she answered without hesitation, "Not Ying."

Cui Xuanli's mouth twitched. He wrote down two characters: Bu Ying.

That year, Bu Ying was twelve. She knew neither letters nor etiquette, but she had already learned to yearn for someone.

She yearned for Young Master Cui, who had brought her to the manor and given her a name as precious as jade.

Young Master Cui was unfailingly polite. He never lost his temper with anyone, and he never told Bu Ying to her face that he couldn't stand her.

He merely turned a blind eye when the other servants bullied her. Even when Bu Ying learned the truth and confronted him, saying that someone else had plotted to have her brought to the manor back then, he only replied coolly, "Mm."

"So that's how it was."

Bu Ying lowered her eyes. Her oriole-like voice grew faint as she murmured to herself.

Cui Xuanli didn't take it to heart. Bu Ying would soon come of age and officially become his concubine. His father was at the height of his power in court, and no one would want to leave the prime minister's manor.

Three years later, the prime minister's manor was without a young master's concubine, while a female official had joined the regent empress dowager's court.

Cui Xuanli, unable to find her anywhere, fell into a madness. He slaughtered more than a dozen guilty officials with his sword. Gaunt and covered in blood, he terrified everyone who saw him.

For violating the law, Cui Xuanli asked to be sent back to his ancestral home.

The empress dowager drew the thin female official out from behind the curtain and smiled. "My Bu Ying also says that stripping you of your post and sending you back to your ancestral home is for the best."
