[Black-hearted disciple x seemingly celibate, secretly unhinged immortal master]
Wei Shengqian fell to the demonic path in her previous life, then wandered as a lone spirit for eighteen years before being reborn.
Things go badly from the start:
First, through a twist of fate, she is reborn in the body of a minor cultivator from the sect where her sworn enemy Ling Suyu resides.
Next, Ling Suyu "forcefully" takes her as a disciple.
Finally, she gets infected with a love-afflicting parasite during a sect secret-realm trial...
Tormented by the parasite, whenever its poison flares up, Wei Shengqian unconsciously grits her teeth and calls out the name of the culprit: Ling Suyu.
Meanwhile, Ling Suyu has always felt that his little disciple is acting strangely. Every month, she shuts herself away for a day or two. He wants to use his spiritual power to find out what she is up to.
But when he hears Wei Shengqian letting out one unspeakable cry after another from between clenched teeth in the darkness, he crushes the teacup in his hand.
The days of enduring the love-afflicting parasite alone come to an end on a dark and stormy night.
Ling Suyu appears in her room without a sound.
The next moment, he scoops her out of the ice bath, where she is caught between freezing and burning.
In the dreamy moonlight, they entwine in a haze of passion.
Ling Suyu holds her captive in his arms and whispers again and again into her ear, red as if it might drip blood: "A Qian, only your master can relieve the effects of your love-afflicting parasite..."
As the poison grows stronger, the treatment has to go deeper...
After each increasingly uncontrollable treatment, Wei Shengqian watches Ling Suyu arrive at her room early, just after night falls, and hesitates.
"Master... Actually..."
Actually, you don't have to come so early...
Actually... you don't have to wear so little!
Wei Shengqian often marvels at how much the world can change in eighteen years.
In her previous life, her master Pei Huaiyan had killed her with a single merciless strike. In this life, his gentle gaze is filled with countless lingering obsessions.
Her sworn enemy in her previous life, who was always trying to punish her on the spot, was rumored to practice the Unfeeling Dao and to kill without mercy. This icy immortal master, Ling Suyu, now resolutely protects her regardless of right or wrong, or whether she belongs to the righteous or demonic path.
And whenever the two of them meet, they always seem ready to fight.
Wei Shengqian: "???" When did they become enemies? How come I don't know?
*There are two masters in this story. The former master's regret-and-redemption arc is coming, and the bond in this life is something the male lead has insistently won for himself.
*This is based on extensive original interpretations, and is not a story about a strong female lead.
Theme: In the gaze between us lies endless feeling, as if we had met in a previous life
