["Straightforward" apprentice with a touch of snark x sunny, unhinged schemer of a master]

*

Yi Hanxing transmigrates into a restricted xianxia novel as a female side character with the same name.

The bad news: she's in the Hehuan Sect, born with a sacred furnace physique, and every male character covets her day and night.

The worse news: the moment she opens her eyes after transmigrating into the book, she's lying in the bed of the original story's big bad, her master Qin Wuzhou. Her limbs are weak, and her clothes are disheveled.

Qin Wuzhou sits cross-legged at the head of the bed, propping his head up with one hand. He tilts it, his face displaying undisguised amusement and disdain. "Have you remembered the bedroom techniques I just taught you, disciple?"

Yi Hanxing: (☉_☉)?

Even more absurdly, he gives her a mission: win over and kill the original male lead, or else... she'll be punished.

Yi Hanxing: Huh? Me?

#Is punishment in your Hehuan Sect actually punishment?

#I don't think your master is a proper master, either.

*

To avoid punishment, Yi Hanxing sets out to win over the original male lead.

But the thing she fears comes to pass: her sincere attempts at seduction don't work, and the original male lead avoids her like the plague.

Whenever she fails, she has to report back to her master's bedside and take her "punishment."

Qin Wuzhou always gives a derisive snort, mutters "stupid disciple," and starts undoing his own collar first.

Seeing her complexion grow paler and paler, Yi Hanxing finally can't take it anymore. She begs the original male lead to pretend they're in love with each other.

Then she excitedly reports the good news to Qin Wuzhou.

Yi Hanxing: Yay! I'm going to graduate!

This time, Qin Wuzhou doesn't punish her.

He only smiles until his eyes look ready to split, his teeth gleaming white, then crushes the original male lead's heart with one hand and pins her down on the bed in front of the corpse.

"I've changed my mind."

[Male lead's perspective]

Qin Wuzhou has lived for two thousand years. Ambitious and determined to unite the myriad sects of the immortal world, he'll stop at nothing to eliminate his rivals.

Unfortunately, all his underlings are good-for-nothings.

Especially the one called Yi Hanxing.

At first, he thinks she's lazy and dull, unwilling to improve.

So day after day, he personally takes the lead, diligently supervising her practice of Hehuan techniques.

Yet the only thing that grows is the darkness beneath his eyes. The results are negligible.

Finally, he can't take it anymore and decides to give up on this useless pawn.

But strangely, whenever he sees her smiling at another man, a wicked fire flares inside him.

Human desire is truly strange, Qin Wuzhou thinks. Once, it was vast enough to devour the whole world.

Now, all he wants is the heart of one young woman.

[Reading Guide]

* The plot and romance are roughly balanced. This isn't a romance-only story. There are occasional jokes. The characters aren't perfect; their values reflect the needs of the plot and not the author's own.

* One-on-one romance, both leads are virgins, happy ending.

* The original male lead's death has more to it than meets the eye.
