Pei Wang: Master cares about me so much. I'm so happy.
When he is kidnapped by a starving wolf at a villager's home, Shen Zhaohan beats the wolf without batting an eye until it becomes a big dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy.

When the gods try to kill Pei Wang to defeat the demons, Shen Zhaohan draws her sword and prepares to make an enemy of the gods.
Pei Wang: Master loves me so much. I'm so... Wait, why did Master just run me through with her sword?
Pei Wang learns his master was only good to him to complete a mission: ...
Shen Zhaohan learns her disciple only pretended to be obedient so he could kill her: ...
The two of them: "So you've been deceiving me all this time?"
The watching demons and gods: As expected of master and disciple. You're perfectly in sync.
A few things to know:
1. Both leads are each other's first and only. Happy ending, no angst (trust me).
2. They both have to win each other back. A little melodramatic.
3. Lots of foreshadowing early on, and the pace is a little slow. Feel free to let it build up!
4. May all the lovely people who clicked in become fabulously rich!
Blurb for the upcoming novel The Second Year After Divorcing the Powerful Minister:
When Wen Tan was sixteen, she fell in love at first sight with Pei Yunzhi, then a down-on-his-luck scholar, and insisted on marrying him despite being the marquis's legitimate daughter.
On their wedding night, Wen Tan was so immersed in the joy of marrying the man she loved that she failed to see the flicker of disgust in Pei Yunzhi's eyes.
Over the eight years of their marriage, Wen Tan stood by Pei Yunzhi as he rose from a poor commoner family to become a powerful young chief minister. Everyone said she had a keen eye for talent and had chosen an excellent husband.
Only Wen Tan knew that over the years, she had gone from a pampered young lady who never lifted a finger to an ordinary woman in coarse clothes. Everything she did was to let Pei Yunzhi pursue his career without worry. Even when it left her sick and aching, she never regretted it.
**
On the day Pei Yunzhi's promotion decree arrived, Wen Tan thought they could finally live happily as husband and wife, free from hardship. But Pei Yunzhi put away the imperial decree and said coolly,
"There is someone I love. I want to bring her into the household as my proper wife."
Wen Tan was struck dumb, as if by lightning.
So she had been nothing but a pawn on his path to success, discarded once she was no longer useful.
With her heart turned to ash, Wen Tan left behind a divorce agreement and watched Pei Yunzhi welcome his beautiful bride in an eight-person sedan. From then on, he held great power and basked in boundless glory.
**
The second year after their divorce, Wen Tan went with her family to their estate in the outskirts of the capital to escape the summer heat, where she unexpectedly ran into Pei Yunzhi, who had come alone.
The young chief minister grabbed her sleeve, his eyes red. In a tone of desperate pleading she'd never heard from him before, he said, "Tan'er, please don't leave me, all right?"
Wen Tan pried his fingers off one by one and stepped back with indifference. "Lord Pei, please behave with propriety."
Pei Yunzhi panicked and hurried forward, still trying to win her back. But then someone suddenly appeared behind Wen Tan.
The usually cold, reserved, and solemn Prince Yi held a bowl of shaved ice and pulled Wen Tan into his arms, coaxing her softly. "Be good, Tan'er. You can only have one bowl."
