The Master's Wife Is as Beautiful as a Flower

Story Blurb:

A great fire sent young Yan Hanyu from the pinnacle of privilege to having nowhere to go. An elder from Sanqing Mountain brought her back to the sect.

She hid her brilliance and became quiet and reserved. There, she met her childhood friend, Luo Yunxin. They grew up together, inseparable, and gradually became the perfect couple in the eyes of everyone around them.

Yan Hanyu saw her as someone to rely on. Luo Yunxin, meanwhile, had fallen for her and doted on her.

Everyone thought that once they became cultivation partners, they would cultivate together and rise to fame.

Until the day Luo Yunxin brought back a woman.

Her voice was delicate, like an oriole's song, and stirred the heart. Her gentle, tender eyes seemed to have been made to suit Luo Yunxin's tastes.

The moment she met Ji Xiangxue, Yan Hanyu thought that it was no wonder Luo Yunxin had abandoned her when she was injured at the foot of Jingrong Mountain. Anyone would do the same for someone like her.

Luo Yunxin decided to take Ji Xiangxue into Sanqing Mountain, showing great favor to this disciple. During that time, Yan Hanyu accidentally caught her tending to the other woman day and night.

The delicate, willowy woman lay on the bed, sobbing as she insisted she had no ulterior motives. Luo Yunxin hurried to her feet to explain.

"I feel nothing for Xue'er but the affection between master and disciple. It's not what you think."

Those words suddenly made Yan Hanyu unable to understand her. She could only stare at Luo Yunxin in disappointment.

As the two faced off, neither noticed that the silent Ji Xiangxue was looking past Luo Yunxin's shoulder at Yan Hanyu, observing her timidly with an inscrutable expression.

On the day she left Sanqing Mountain, Yan Hanyu gathered her documents and tucked them against her chest. Passing the study, she heard a rustling sound.

A soft, sultry moan seemed to call her name.

Curious, she pushed open the door. Instead of being with Luo Yunxin, Ji Xiangxue was sitting on the desk, gazing at Yan Hanyu's portrait on the wall, her body and hands damp beneath her.

At the sound, Ji Xiangxue looked up, and their eyes met.

There was none of the panic Yan Hanyu had imagined. The other woman had cast off her usual timidness and walked barefoot up to her, wiping her wet fingers on the clothes over Yan Hanyu's shoulder.

Her words were teasing and suggestive.

"Mistress, how do I compare to my master's old charm?"
