How Did My Master Become Such a Dangerous Profession?

Yu Qian Yuan transmigrates into a book, where the System has dragged her into a cultivation-themed tragic romance novel to do hard labor.

The novel's hero and heroine endure nearly a million words of tortured love, with endless supporting characters getting in their way. Just as they're about to finally get their happy ending...

The villainous second male lead, whom everyone thought was dead, suddenly appears and stabs the heroine to death.

Yu Qian Yuan: "?? Wait, what's going on?"

System: "No idea. The villainous second male lead broke the world's storyline, so we summoned you to fix it."

Yu Qian Yuan: "What have I ever done to deserve this?!"

-

After carefully studying the novel, Yu Qian Yuan realizes that the villainous second male lead has almost everything the hero has: a tragic past, an unhappy childhood, and a bunch of cannon fodder characters who bullied him before he became a powerful figure.

She figures it's simple. With a grand wave of her hand, she takes him in as her disciple before anyone else can, planning to heal and reform him with the warmth and boundless care of a master-disciple relationship. And, as a bonus, she'll make sure he never meets the heroine or any of the cannon fodder characters.

The System quietly reminds her: "You'd better stay away from the villainous second male lead. Don't you know being a master is a dangerous job?"

Yu Qian Yuan replies sarcastically: "Come on, System. This is a romance novel, okay?"

System: "...Fine."

-

She works diligently and tirelessly, raising her little disciple into a handsome, righteous young man.

Though he has a few encounters with the heroine, he never shows any interest in becoming her backup lover. Sometimes, he even watches the lovestruck couple's antics with Yu Qian Yuan, perfectly at ease. Reassured, she settles back and waits for the hero and heroine to get their happy ending, so she can complete her mission and leave.

Until one day, Yu Qian Yuan accidentally catches her disciple in a dark room, pinning one of the cannon fodder characters who used to bully him underfoot, his sword pointed straight at them.

Hearing her, her usually obedient little disciple turns his face toward her, eyes full of vicious menace.

Yu Qian Yuan: "?"

She watches, helpless, as her little disciple comes toward her with his sword, eyes red as he pins her against the wall.

System: "Think he'll want to give his life to you?"

Yu Qian Yuan: "...There are way too many things going on here."

-

In Xie Chi's previous life, Yu Qian Yuan never existed.

He struggled desperately to escape the so-called "Heavenly Dao," but just when he finally succeeded, he was unexpectedly sent back to the past.

He suppresses his viciousness and sharp claws, pretending to be obedient so he can use Yu Qian Yuan to achieve his goals.

But when she truly sees through him, Xie Chi only wants to pin her down and bend to kiss the beauty mark beneath her eye.

The enchantress Shen Qingci is reborn in a new body.

All who walk the demonic path must be slain.

When the people of the cultivation world learn what happened, they immediately send out a large force, determined to grind her bones to dust once more.

But no one expects Shen Qingci to take advantage of this and infiltrate their ranks, hiding in plain sight.

These young heirs from great clans are all easy to fool. Not one of them suspects her identity, except for Jiang Yanshen.

She tries to strike first, but Jiang Yanshen is even faster.

As the saying goes, if you spend enough time by the river, sooner or later you'll slip up.

Jiang Yanshen holds his sword to her neck and makes her an offer: "Miss Shen, if you do me a favor, I'll pretend I never discovered who you are. How does that sound?"

Shen Qingci glances at the sword. "What favor?"

The renowned upright sect member, famed for his purity and grace, gives her a sweet smile. "Simple. Just kill a few people."

Shen Qingci: "Why don't you do it yourself?"

Jiang Yanshen's smile doesn't falter. "With my status, how could I possibly get my hands dirty?"

Shen Qingci: "???"

-

Shen Qingci is infamous throughout the cultivation world.

She stirred up trouble for decades, and just before announcing her retirement, she suddenly whisked away the cultivation world's only genius in nearly a century and persuaded him to abandon his sect.

The sect members tremble, fearing she'll fall for someone else one day, kidnap them, and drain their yang essence.

Shen Qingci: "? He came with me of his own accord, okay!"

And who'd be interested in a bunch of hopeless fools like you anyway?

Jiang Yanshen smiles. "How should I play along? I'm happy to try any role you like."

Shen Qingci: "Can you stop acting?"
