After Mistaking My Ruthless Daoist Master for My Mother

Original title: My Teacher (GL), cover artist: @Doyin Yitanjiu

As her teacher and master. A slow-burn coming-of-age story.

The Kunlun Elder of Stillwater was nurtured by Heaven and Earth, born in radiant light. She was the "blessed one" sent by the Heavenly Dao to the Tianyu imperial family. She brought Tianyu prosperity and glory, becoming the first person in a hundred years to ascend to immortality and live forever.

But one day, the Elder of Stillwater, who followed the path of emotionlessness and had once sworn in public never to take a cultivation partner or bear children, was seen with a child following behind her...

The child clutched her sleeve and peeked out cautiously. When everyone saw her face, they all drew a sharp breath!

Because the child's face bore a striking resemblance to the Elder of Stillwater!

Rumors spread everywhere overnight, and people speculated wildly. Who was the child's other parent? Who had the Elder of Stillwater had her with?

What no one knew was that the child at the Elder of Stillwater's side would grow up to become the one and only cultivation partner of her life...

Shen Yusong brought a child back from Vermilion Bird Alley in the imperial capital.

The child was covered in wounds. It was said her master's family had beaten her "to death," and she had crawled all the way from a mass grave.

After Shen Yusong picked her up and used a cleansing spell, the little one's dirty face became fair and luminous, her features fine and sharp. As for her appearance...

Even Shen Yusong herself froze for a moment.

The child, quite "as expected," called out to her in public: "Mama!"

Shen Yusong furrowed her brow and acted cold, trying her best to deny any connection. "Child, you can eat whatever you like, but you mustn't say whatever you like."

The child knew she had mistaken her for someone else. She hugged her knees and curled up in the corner of the bed, looking utterly pitiful.

At the time, Shen Yusong had no idea that she really would come to treat the child as her own, becoming her master, her mother, and eventually her...

wife.

Once, during a gathering of the immortal world, Shen Yusong took her little tagalong for a stroll around Mount Penglai. That very day, another rumor appeared in the cultivation world: "The Kunlun Elder of Stillwater had a child in the mortal realm. She takes the child everywhere every day. They must be mother and child."

Only Tan Xingran knew that the Elder of Stillwater loved solitude and rarely brought her along. They had only met three times in three years. The rest was all made up by other people.

Through years of longing and cultivation, ten-year-old Tan Xingran gradually revealed her talent, becoming the most gifted and promising cultivator at the academy. Only then did she receive the Elder of Stillwater's approval to move from the dormitory to Yansue Peak.

Tan Xingran became a child with a master and stayed by her master's side every day. Little by little, she began to develop feelings for the quiet, beautiful woman that were more than a disciple's...
