Sharpening My Knife for My Master

Rogue Disciple vs. Stern Master. The romance is extremely slow-burn, and the real plot comes much later.

In her previous life, Ye Qiao cultivated demonic arts and clashed with Shen Huaici the moment they met. The great demon lord faced off against the shining light of the righteous path, and they fought until heaven and earth collapsed and the seas dried up, before both meeting their ends together!

In the blink of an eye, Ye Qiao returned to the year before she began cultivating demonic arts. Now she had a lame leg, pockets emptier than her face was clean, and absolutely no talent for cultivation.

Ye Qiao: I’m reborn. This time, I’m taking back everything that belongs to me!

Her road to revenge had barely begun when she sprained her ankle. The sworn enemy who had killed her in her previous life, Shen Huaici, carried her back to his sect, where she switched to immortal cultivation, kowtowed, and became his disciple.

Ye Qiao: Maybe Heaven knows I’m not meant to die just yet. It actually sent my mortal enemy to me early, so I can strike first!

A few days later, she could only cradle the hand Shen Huaici had beaten swollen, hiding in the dim pigsty as she crawled around and plotted her revenge...

At a young age, Shen Huaici had already reached the highest realm of cultivation. Among the Immortal Sects, no one could hope to match him. They both envied and feared him.

Yet even as he stood proud atop the highest peaks, revered by all, Shen Huaici feared his newly taken disciple. According to his memories of his past life, Ye Qiao would grow into someone even he could barely suppress. She would join the demon clan in sweeping across the world, slaughter the Immortal Sects, and finally drive him into a desperate corner where they could only trade their lives for each other’s.

Thinking this, Shen Huaici looked at the figure bent over the desk, copying texts as punishment, and made up his mind. If she strayed down the wrong path again, he would eliminate this menace before she could cause trouble.

Later, Ye Qiao did indeed become a demon, and the two of them clashed N more times. Only this time, she turned the tables and pinned him down...

[Two Powerful Leads] [Male Pregnancy in a BG Romance] [Free-spirited yet powerful heroine x cold and obsessive hero, the most beautiful man in the Three Realms] [Slow-burn romance, mutual salvation]

Many years later, Bai Zhi, Divine Venerable with her doting husband by her side, looked at the little rascal who would raise the roof if she went three days without a beating, and at the mountain of official documents covering her desk. She chose to kneel before her master's memorial tablet and repent.

There were three things she regretted:

1. Don't let your blood run hot and pick a fight with the Heavenly Emperor for the sake of your troublemaking friends. You won't just lose your divine rank, you'll also get hunted by Shang Que. The result of both sides getting badly hurt was that she lost her memory and thought she was a mortal, then mistook Shang Que, who was inhabiting someone else's body, for her master. Most importantly, don't confess your feelings to him!

2. When you find out that the man inside your master's body is Shang Que, don't show mercy and don't go easy on him. More importantly, don't take pity on a man who looks weak, especially when that man is your mortal enemy!!

3. If you're going to cultivate the Heartless Way, do it properly. Don't fall for Shang Que just because the bastard has a face you see once in a thousand years. And don't sleep with him just because he takes off all his clothes and gets you drunk! Most, most, most importantly, don't have a child with him!!!

*

Divine Venerable Shang Que also deeply regretted not doing three things sooner:

1. Don't let Bai Zhi cultivate that crazy Heartless Way.

2. Kill everyone who gets in the way of the two of them being together.

3. Strike first and tie her down with a child sooner.

1. Includes confinement in a locked room.

2. Both leads are irresistible Mary Sue types, with admirers who have one-sided crushes on them and obsessive, exclusive fans.

3. The hero uses a child to secure his place as the only one. The heroine is strong, so she is willingly tied up. The little rascal appears in the story, but there is no child-rearing plot.

Theme: Starting over, but never learning your lesson.
