My completed novel, Went Mad After Becoming a Widower, is available to read!
[Beautiful, wicked master who flaunts her looks x split-personality, dead-eyed, psychotic disciple]
Xiao Xu had a tragic past. Yu Chan found him in a mass grave and brought him home. Yu Chan always focused on magic and neglected discipline, so her eldest disciple grew more and more twisted. After much soul-searching, Yu Chan decided to raise her disciples properly this time, treating the other little ones she picked up with attentive care and affection.
At first
Yu Chan: The second disciple is so kind. He works so hard at training, yet still remembers to cut grass for the little rabbits in the backyard. Master made some pork bone soup, give it a try. The third disciple is so polite. He can still greet the farmers with a smile when they come up the mountain to pick a fight. Here, have a piece of braised pork to build up your strength. The fourth disciple is so considerate. He always shares his sweet cakes with his greedy little junior. Good boy, Fourth. I'll buy you candied hawthorns.
Later
Yu Chan gets drunk and wakes up half an incense stick later than usual, only to find her disciples completely different from how she imagined them. The second disciple snaps a rooster's neck without batting an eye. The third puts on a mask and goes down the mountain to beat up the farmers. The fourth steals all his little junior's pocket money...
What is going on? Have I messed them up again? Again and again and again?
Xiao Xu is a half-demon with the ability to split off clones. Whenever he sees his master treating someone else well, jealousy burns through him until he goes mad.
If Master likes saving those poor little things no one wants, why can't they all be me?
He overuses his demonic power to possess others and suffers backlash, leaving his memories scrambled and him unconscious.
Yu Chan still cares for her eldest disciple. She enters his dreams with her soul and travels through them to save her wayward student.
Master, the good disciples you worked so hard to find don't exist. There's only one wicked disciple, guilty of every crime and defying his master, who nonetheless covets you. Do you want him or not?
