Li Ling dreams that she takes the Chosen One as her disciple and helps him slay the Demon Lord and bring the demon realm to heel, earning boundless glory.
When she wakes, she finds the idea ridiculous. She can’t even keep the spirit plants in front of her courtyard alive. Take a disciple? Is there money in that?
Who knew that the sect would hold an election for the position of Grand Elder of Instruction that very day? The position is prestigious and comes with a generous monthly stipend, but candidates must have a personal disciple.
“...” She immediately casts a divination, then heads down the mountain to find a disciple!
Following the divination, she reaches the top of an unnamed mountain, where she happens to spot Lian Qi teetering on the brink of a fall. She grabs him.
Backlit by the setting sun, she stands wreathed in its rosy glow, like a goddess descended from the heavens.
Lian Qi turns around and is so captivated by the sight that he loses his focus. But the very next moment...
Smack! A promotional flyer is slapped against his chest.
Li Ling beams at him. “Hello! Would you like to become my disciple?”
Lian Qi, with half his body still hanging over the cliff: “...?”
*
Lian Qi thinks Li Ling is a fraud.
She says she’ll help him save the world from peril, but he has just driven the Chosen One who is fated to save the world from peril to jump off a cliff. If she hadn’t grabbed him, he was planning to chase after him and land the final blow.
Still, he follows her back to the sect, because her perfectly pure soul can break the curse on him.
It is said that those with perfectly pure souls are so kind they won’t even step on flowers or grass. Li Ling feels sorry for him because he is frail and alone, so she takes meticulous care of him and protects him in every way.
The two get along harmoniously, until...
One day, Li Ling sweeps her sword through a hundred demons, leaving a river of blood at her feet.
Lian Qi: “??”
What happened to being too kind to step on flowers and grass?!
Another day, all the demons prostrate themselves and pay homage to the Demon Lord.
Li Ling looks at Lian Qi, who is leaning on her shoulder and about to faint. “??”
What happened to the frail, lonely Chosen One?!
[Bonus Scene]
After spending some time together, Li Ling is very pleased with her new disciple.
He is handsome, clever, and obedient, with just one little quirk: he loves secretly collecting her small belongings and playing with them.
Li Ling is quite troubled.
Looking at her increasingly empty room, she discusses with Lian Qi and asks him to take up a hobby that won’t cost her money.
Lian Qi is very agreeable. “Okay.”
After that, Lian Qi indeed stops playing with her belongings.
Instead, he sidles up against her and toys with the ends of her hair, her fingertips...
Li Ling: “...”
Something about this doesn’t seem right?

-------Coming soon: Has My Husband Regained His Memories Today? Please add it to your collection~--------
Ji Yile and Shi Yi were betrothed before they were even born. The two of them never got along and fought for over a decade, all the way until their wedding.
On their wedding night, Shi Yi is drunk and stumbles, taking Ji Yile down with him. They both hit their heads on the bedpost.
The instant the pain explodes, Ji Yile realizes:
For the sake of your life, stay away from Shi Yi! Also, this world is a romance game.
Shi Yi is one of the male leads you can pursue. In his “if” route, Ji Yile storms off alone after an argument with him and goes missing by accident. The Ji family blames Shi Yi and raises an army to seek revenge, intent on destroying the Shi family. But Shi Yi and the protagonist join forces to put them down, and the Ji family is wiped out...
After recovering her memories of her previous life, Ji Yile acts decisively:
Might as well take care of the nearest threat first. Get rid of Shi Yi!
But she never imagined that Shi Yi would hit his head and become even less intelligent than he already was...
He has amnesia.
Ji Yile refuses to take advantage of someone in his condition, so she changes her plan.
When Shi Yi asks who he is, she gives him a heartfelt explanation:
“You’re Shi Yi, my husband. You love me more than life itself, put me first in everything, and obey me without question. To make me feel completely secure, you never talk to strangers, especially people who speak strangely and claim to be protagonists. Do you understand?”
Shi Yi: “...I understand.”
*
Shi Yi thinks Ji Yile loves him very much.
Otherwise, why would someone as spoiled and willful as her show such tender concern only for him, asking every day, “Husband, have you regained your memories today?”
Whenever he answers no, Ji Yile looks deeply disappointed. Then, without changing her expression, she pulls out the knife hidden behind her back and cuts him some fruit.
Holding the fruit that has been cut down to nothing but its pit, he thinks: My wife is so kind.
As for how she looks at his neck before every cut...
He must have imagined it!
