The Ruthless Daoist Master Bows to Her

[Updates every other day, at most once every two days. If I go more than two days without updating and haven't asked for leave, it's my fault.]

[Preorder: The blurb for "My Murdered Husband Is Back" is at the very bottom.]

Yuan Jin fell in love with someone, but there were two problems.

First, he was her master, and he treated her like his own daughter.

Second, her master cultivated the Heartless Sword Dao and had already reached the Mahayana stage.

As a good disciple, Yuan Jin should have buried these unspeakable feelings deep in her heart and helped her master ascend to immortality. Besides, he had done her a great kindness, and she ought to repay him.

Instead, she did something the world despised: at the grand gathering of disciples, with guests from all sides in attendance, she forced herself on her master.

Countless people called her wicked and rebellious, a heartless ingrate, a thoroughly vile woman.

One arrogant chosen one even wanted to grind her bones to dust or imprison her and have his way with her.

Yuan Jin didn't care. All she cared about was her master.

Not until he ran her through with his sword did she finally understand: from beginning to end, his heart had been cold and merciless. He had never felt the slightest affection for her.

If you have no feelings for me, then I'll leave.

And so she put her former master, Yun Qingbai, the revered Lord Yunhua and the strongest cultivator in the cultivation world, out of her mind.

Once she made up her mind to forget someone, there was no chance she'd ever go back to them.

Not even when she later saw the monster of steel hidden beneath Yun Qingbai's immortal-like appearance.

The monster crushed his own heart. His body was drenched in filthy blood, and he wore a crazed smile, yet he carefully wiped his fingers clean, took the delicate red-bean sword tassel she had discarded from inside his robe, and held it in his palm.

"A Jin, the sword tassel you broke has been fixed by your master."

Yuan Jin felt nothing, only irritation. She spat out one word: "Get lost."

[Important points]

1. This is an emotional romance, with the male lead chasing his wife after losing her.

2. Everything the female lead does has a reason. She acts to protect herself and save others.

3. I guarantee a happy ending for the female lead.

4. Cultivation ranks: Unentered Realm (equivalent to beginning Qi cultivation, before entering a realm) - Human Realm - Earth Realm - Heaven Realm - Union Realm.

[Possessive love and taking by force are the main themes.]

Suisui's husband was peerlessly handsome and immensely powerful, one of the Four Venerables no one in the Chaos Realm could surpass: Mu Huaiyuan, the Lord of the Eastern Realm, whom everyone feared and worshiped.

But even mighty Mu Huaiyuan was murdered.

Suisui didn't even shed crocodile tears. She turned her back on the Eastern Realm and went to find her white moonlight, hoping to rekindle their old romance.

But one night, she awoke from a dream to see her husband, who should have been dead, sitting beside her bed, turning over in his hand the safety talisman she had obtained for her white moonlight.

Suisui trembled all over and scrambled backward until she was huddled in the corner of the bed with nowhere left to retreat. The man stretched out his long arm, braced it against the window frame, and trapped her in his embrace. Slowly, he used the talisman to part the front of her clothes.

As hazy moonlight caressed her collarbone, he smiled at her panic-stricken face.

"You weren't afraid of anything when you joined forces with outsiders to kill me. How did you get so timid after three years apart?"

"...Mu Huaiyuan."

Suisui trembled uncontrollably. Though clearly terrified, she lifted her head to meet his eyes, and the familiar hatred in her gaze spilled out.

She had looked just like this the last time she had stabbed him in the back.

Sure enough, she continued, "Can you smell the peach blossoms? That's the poison I put in."

Suisui was a ten-thousand-year-old Tai Sui, coveted and fought over by everyone. She had spent half her life desperately trying to escape her cages, but fate played a cruel trick on her: she met Mu Huaiyuan, and once she stepped into that abyss, she could never escape.

She hated Mu Huaiyuan, hated him enough to wish she could tear him to pieces.

Mu Huaiyuan loathed betrayal above all. Anyone who betrayed him met a gruesome end. But when he faced Suisui's hateful gaze, he found himself pleased that he filled her eyes and heart. That was when he knew he was done for.

He would build the most impregnable golden cage in the world, hide her inside it, and take his revenge at his leisure.

[Important points]

1. Because of the setting, the female lead cannot become an unstoppable killer at any point. She is not strong in the traditional sense.

2. The couple is set: the male lead is Mu Huaiyuan.

3. The main story is written in third person.

4. The main themes are possessive love, taking by force, and melodrama. The male lead is a real jerk.

Theme: Stand on your own feet, grow stronger, and find yourself again.
