My Dead Disciple Returned as My Heart Demon

Here's a new story I'm collecting interest for, The Dragon of the Fallen Demon Senior Sister. The blurb is below. Please add it to your collection!

Su Beiwou, a Nascent Soul elder of Shangqing Sect, has recently encountered something strange. She cut off her romantic attachments long ago and gave up on love, devoting herself to the ruthless path. Yet one night, a heart demon appeared out of nowhere.

The heart demon tormented her day and night. Su Beiwou hadn't slept in half a month. Whenever she closed her eyes, the heart demon came to her, entered her dreams, climbed into her bed, touched her face, said strange things, and did strange things.

Worse still, whenever she shut her eyes, she would hear the heart demon questioning her again and again.

"Beiwou, have you forgotten me?"

"Beiwou, you really are heartless. How long have I been dead? And already you've taken on so many disciples. Heh, what for? Are you planning to kill them too?"

"Beiwou, remember my name. Nan Ning, Mu Nanning. I am your... heart demon."

Su Beiwou thought long and hard, but still couldn't figure out who Mu Nanning was. She even asked everyone around her, but nobody knew.

All Su Beiwou wanted to know was why this heart demon haunted her day and night. She had never been in love in the mortal realm, so how could she have developed a heart demon?

She wanted, every moment, to rid herself of this heart demon named Mu Nanning.

After the Sixth Immortal-Demon War ended, Su Beiwou discovered that her heart demon had suddenly healed itself.

In the first year after the heart demon left, Su Beiwou comprehended the ruthless path, broke through the Nascent Soul stage, and saw her cultivation soar. She advanced to the Divine Transformation stage, crossing three major cultivation realms in a single leap. Her cultivation came close to the Integration stage. With extraordinary talent, she became the undisputed number one of the righteous path, celebrated throughout the world.

In the second year after the heart demon left, the romantic attachment she'd severed took root again. Her cultivation became unstable, her ruthless path shattered, and her power plummeted. Everyone lamented her fall.

In the third year after the heart demon left, Su Beiwou gave up. She stopped cultivating, resigned from her position at Shangqing, and wandered the world. She began to wonder if she'd once had a disciple like this. Then she began to search, following the memories of her youth to discover who Mu Nanning really was.

Lost and confused in the Northern Lands, Su Beiwou clutched her heart and suddenly no longer understood what she had spent her life seeking. She desperately wanted to find a clue to her heart demon.

Where was her heart demon? Where was her disciple?

She was going mad.

New story blurb: The Dragon of the Fallen Demon Senior Sister

After Xia Weiqi was hit by a car and died, she transmigrated, only to find herself inside an egg. Outside, everyone was speaking a language she couldn't understand. Then she heard someone speak her hometown dialect for the first time.

Feng Qingzhuo: "Why is this egg so ugly?"

Bai Wugui: "Qingzhuo, you shouldn't say that."

Feng Qingzhuo: "Sorry, Master."

Hearing the voices, Xia Weiqi began thrashing around frantically. Seeing the egg shake so violently, the dragons and humans nearby discussed the matter. "Perhaps Clytie likes Master Feng. Why don't you take her back and raise her?" the Dragon Mother suggested.

"Qingzhuo, accept her already."

"Yes."

And so Feng Qingzhuo, who had been standing nearby and was called upon yet again, inexplicably brought a dragon egg all the way back from the Dragon Valley, thousands of miles away.

After hatching, Xia Weiqi, a Western dragon, settled down in the sect and got a new name: Clytie.

But... Feng Qingzhuo. Why did that name sound so familiar? At twenty, Clytie suddenly remembered: wasn't this the cannon-fodder senior sister from some tragic romance she'd read?!!!

Clytie panicked. She remembered the book saying that Feng Qingzhuo, the senior sister, was the leader of the righteous path. After falling in love with the same man as her junior sister, she became consumed by hatred and fell to the demonic path. The world despised her, and her master personally dug out her core and expelled her from the sect.

Fate had played a cruel trick: the former leader of the righteous path had become the number one of the demonic path. Sadly, during the final Immortal-Demon War, Feng Qingzhuo was outnumbered and beheaded by the junior sister she loved and their senior brother, as a warning to the world.

But... Clytie scratched her head and looked at Feng Qingzhuo, who seemed to have neither desire nor affection, neither love nor hate. She was utterly confused. How did this look like someone who'd fallen to the demonic path for love? And wasn't Feng Qingzhuo cultivating the ruthless path? After falling to the demonic path, how had she ended up in the Joyous Union Sect? What did that have to do with the ruthless path she'd cultivated before???

"Qingzhuo!" the little dragon called out in a babyish voice to the person practicing swordplay.

"What is it?" Feng Qingzhuo got up at the sound of her voice and looked at the little dragon curiously.

"I'm hungry!" The little dragon hadn't even grown all her teeth yet. She pointed at her mouth and shouted.

"Coming." The cultivation-obsessed Feng Qingzhuo dutifully gave up her sword practice, picked up some firewood, and went to cook.

Clytie: "Qingzhuo, have you ever heard the story of the princess and the evil dragon?"

Feng Qingzhuo: "I haven't."

"Then let me tell it to you." After Clytie finished, Feng Qingzhuo looked puzzled. "Why must dragons kidnap princesses? Why must evil dragons be slain by knights?"

Clytie fell silent. She didn't know either.

Feng Qingzhuo shook her head, her eyes darkening. The evil dragon's story was so much like her own that it stirred something in her. Unwilling to admit it, she said, "Your story has too many plot holes."

A little annoyed, Clytie asked, "Then how would you change it?"

Feng Qingzhuo smiled at her. "Naturally, the princess would take the evil dragon home, raise her from a little dragon, and then the princess and the dragon would live happily ever after."

Clytie: "?"

Feng Qingzhuo: "I mean, I raised you, so..." Feng Qingzhuo touched Clytie's cheek with her cool fingertips and smiled. "You're my dragon."

Clytie: "Then to make it fair, you have to be my princess!"

Feng Qingzhuo smiled happily and softly replied, "All right."
