Ninety-Nine Ways for a Master to Die

[A master driven mad by endless cycles x his hypocritical ghost disciple]

Question: Which is more painful, killing your master with your own hands or watching your master die?

Answer: It's more painful for the master.

Yun Fan transmigrates into the future world's renowned, righteous-yet-evil, greatest cultivator, Ji Canghai's...

master.

You ask why he's both righteous and evil?

Yun Fan gives a knowing smile. "Ever heard of customization? Have you played a raising sim?"

From the Seven Star Sect's foremost disciple, a demon-slayer of the righteous path, to a Demon Lord who slaughters sects and commits every atrocity, he's got it all. You name it.

At first, she raises him with care, but feels nothing for Ji Canghai beyond the bond between master and disciple. Then she dies protecting her senior brother, and Ji Canghai dies by self-detonation when his inner demon takes hold.

She is reborn. This time, she deliberately treats him coldly. Ji Canghai falls to demonic cultivation and goes mad trying to earn her attention, and in the end, he kills her.

Furious, she abuses Ji Canghai from the start the third time around. Somehow, he still adores her.

Her way of venting her anger turns into BDSM.

In the end, she still can't escape death.

After dying ninety-eight times, Yun Fan finally realizes how to escape this predicament.

She has to fake her death!

Yun Fan: "Ha ha ha, I'm a genius!"

So she raises her precious disciple into the greatest cultivator of the righteous path, then blows herself up in front of him.

She even leaves him a final message: Protect this world for me.

After successfully escaping, Yun Fan enjoys a carefree life between the human and demon realms, making a name for herself with her incredible disguise skills.

What, you ask about the immortal realm? Never heard of it. Want to try my special craft? It'll keep you young forever!

Then one day, as she wanders through a market, a familiar aura envelops her.

When she opens her eyes, she's back in her old cave, her hands and feet bound in chains. Her precious disciple is kneeling before her, his knees between her thighs, an unusual light gleaming in his eyes.

He says, "Master, your disciple has missed you so much."

A few secrets of the Seven Star Sect:

1. Senior Yun Fan knows a great deal about the world. Never anger her, or your dirty secrets may be spread throughout the cultivation world the very next day.

2. Never gossip about Senior Brother Canghai and Senior Yun Fan within the sect. Otherwise, you'll find a sword stuck in your bedside the next day.

3. Mentioning Senior Yun Fan in front of Senior Brother Canghai always works.

4. Strange sounds can still be heard from Watching Clouds Peak after Senior Yun Fan's death. Ignore them, and don't go snooping, or you'll meet the same fate as in Rule Two.

Bad girl x aloof beauty

Yu Nian hated Liang Zhuo from the moment they met.

His mother had been dead for less than half a year when his father brazenly brought Liang Zhuo and her mother home.

The girl was only six months younger than him, which meant his father had cheated while his mother was pregnant.

It made him sick.

She looked like her mother, gorgeous and sensual, nothing like a student.

But Liang Zhuo beat him on her very first exam after transferring to his school.

He saw Liang Zhuo standing in front of the grade list.

Her peach-blossom eyes stared straight at him.

At the time, he thought she was provoking him. Only later did he realize she was seducing him.

Yu Nian never responds when Liang Zhuo calls him "Big Brother."

But whenever Liang Zhuo tries to cross the line, he always says, "Liang Zhuo, I'm your brother."

Liang Zhuo loves the look on Yu Nian's face: his jaw clenched ever so slightly, his brows drawn together, his eyes full of an indescribable emotion, yet he turns away and refuses to look at her.

Restrained and self-controlled.

Yu Nian is known for his coldness at school, and Liang Zhuo goes out of her way to make life difficult for him.

Before her mother married into the Yu family, Liang Zhuo's life was a mess, so she hates people like Yu Nian, who act so superior.

She knows she isn't Yu's biological daughter, so she feels no moral qualms about seducing him.

Watching Yu Nian struggle with his disgust for her and his inability to resist her makes her feel so good.

Later, when Yu Nian has completely fallen into her hands, she says, "I was only playing around with you."

For the first time, that proud face takes on an expression that could almost be called humble. "Then why don't you keep playing around with... me?"

Liang Zhuo looks away, unwilling to meet his dark eyes. "I'm bored."

Warnings:

1. Written to indulge a particular kink. Both are each other's first and only. Romance-focused, happy ending, melodrama, love and hate, set at school.

2. The heroine's name is pronounced Zhuo, with a rising tone, as in "Zhuo Qinglian er bu yao," meaning "mud-stained yet unstained."

3. They are not blood-related: they have different fathers and mothers and are not registered in the same household. They are both adults when they confirm their relationship, and have verified that they are not related by blood or family ties.

4. The story focuses entirely on the couple. Unimportant characters and plot points are glossed over. The wealthy-family setting is based on information from the internet; feel free to point out any issues.
