My Master Is Not the Emotionless Sword Cultivator She Seems to Be

The revisions are complete. Read with confidence.

Please add my upcoming novel to your collection: my next book, Reborn and Married My Childhood Friend, is fully drafted. I hope you'll add it too.

Su Fuxue transmigrated.

A recurring dream told her that she would die on this journey.

So she lay low, year after year.

Worth mentioning: the original owner of this body was a sword cultivator who practiced the Heartless Dao.

In a melodramatic twist, a sword cultivator practicing the Heartless Dao had a tribulation of love. Even more melodramatic, she had to overcome it to ascend to immortality.

Su Fuxue figured she could do without becoming an immortal, but she had to find a way home.

Then she took a disciple. Yes, the girl who would stab her with a sword, and was very likely her tribulation of love, had appeared. Her name was Qi Yunzheng.

The first time they met, the girl was drunk and challenged her: "Can you love someone?"

"Of course. But..."

Those who practiced the Heartless Dao were fated to be unable to love.

But if they truly fell in love, they would love all the same.

After that, according to her promise to that person, Qi Yunzheng would stab her, helping her ascend to immortality, and that person would send her home.

Unexpectedly, she fell into an illusion.

She had entered the illusion of her own accord, intending to save someone, but unexpectedly regained her memories of the past. What happened afterward made her realize that the reason she could return was that someone had gone to great lengths for her, a wandering soul who should have been obliterated.

This time around, she would change the fate that was sure to kill her, whether for her own sake or for the person she loved.

For many years after Su Fuxue died, Qi Yunzheng kept waiting. Su Fuxue had told her she would come back and asked her to wait. So Qi Yunzheng waited and waited, for hundreds of years, but the person she was waiting for never returned.

Qi Yunzheng knew she had been deceived.

But she was willing to be deceived, because that meant there was still a chance Su Fuxue might return. Yet she could never forget the memories of the battlefield between immortals and demons, even in death. She had been the one to send Su Fuxue down that path of certain death with her own hands.

Afterward, Qi Yunzheng did everything she could to get a chance to start over.

Qi Yunzheng was determined not to repeat the same mistakes, but fate seemed to have other plans. She could not avoid being drawn into the game again.

Qi Yunzheng met Su Fuxue again, became her disciple, and entered the illusion...

Everything followed the path already laid out, and yet everything seemed different.

She saw hope.

1. The protagonist is the recipient in the relationship, but in essence they switch roles. (A heads-up: there is a proposal scene in the illusion.)

2. Cultivation levels in the minor world: Five realms, each with four stages: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, and Spirit Transformation (early, middle, late, and perfected). The greater world is divided among five major races.

3. This is not a traditional xianxia novel. It's my take on cultivation, with plenty of personal worldbuilding.

4. Important: The illusion and reality unfold in parallel, and events in the illusion do not affect reality. (The first twenty chapters focus on reality; after that, the focus shifts to the illusion.)

Theme: While loving someone, don't lose sight of yourself.
