The Righteous Path on the Left, the Demonic Path on the Right

Cang Liu was exceptionally gifted. She cultivated among the righteous schools, learned from renowned masters, and spent a century comprehending the Dao, with impressive results.

Yet the righteous had always been wary of her.

Cang Liu: The thing is, I'm half human and half demon, so until three months ago, everyone thought I might fall to demonic cultivation and betray the righteous path.

And now they don't think you might fall to demonic cultivation anymore?

Cang Liu: Not exactly.

Cang Liu: Three months ago, my master, the old ancestor of Biluo Immortal Island who cultivates the Ruthless Dao, went to Zhongzhou to fight the Demon Venerable. They smashed their heads together and damaged their brains.

Cang Liu: My master somehow joined the Demon Prison and became its Demon Lord. Under his rule, the Demon Prison is thriving. The Demon Venerable joined Biluo Immortal Island and is now my disciple. He just mastered the first move of the Heart-Questioning Sword.

Cang Liu: So now everyone thinks I'm not just likely to fall to demonic cultivation, but certain to.

Later, at a grand cultivation-world tournament, the entire cultivation world saw it:

On Cang Liu's left, Lu Jinghuai, formerly of the righteous path and now Demon Lord, handed her a pastry. On her right, her disciple Xie Fei, formerly the Demon Venerable, respectfully served her tea.

Cang Liu: The righteous path on my left, the demonic path on my right. Which way should I go? Life is so hard.

※ The title was inspired by A Genius on the Left, a Madman on the Right.

※ The heroine is powerful from the start, but she's not the strongest. She will level up and eventually reach max level. The process will have plenty of setbacks, not a smooth ride. This isn't pure wish fulfillment or sweetness, and it isn't tagged as either a power fantasy or a sweet romance.

Theme: No matter how many difficulties you face, stay true to yourself.
