Her master was aloof, stern, and untouchable. He always kept a three-zhang distance from Xie Ying, and no amount of sweet talk could ever move his heart.
After three years of failing to win her master's affection, Xie Ying was finally sent by her exasperated master to cultivate in the forbidden grounds behind the mountain.
On her first day cultivating there, Xie Ying discovered a junior disciple who had accidentally wandered into the forbidden grounds.
He was warm and uninhibited, and he would bend over backward for her. He comforted Xie Ying when she secretly cried over her master's coldness, and when she was fast asleep, he even dared to plant a kiss on her forehead.
During the three months she spent cultivating in the forbidden grounds, the sincere, passionate junior gradually replaced her master in her heart. Just as Xie Ying felt relieved, finally put her doubts to rest, and decided to be with him, she discovered her master's secret on the first night after leaving the forbidden grounds.

The Immortal Venerable Pei Zhuo was a prodigy from a young age, a heaven-blessed talent. He cultivated the Heartless Dao, always stern, dignified, and untouchable, inspiring awe in all who saw him.
Yet when he was undergoing his tribulation and ascending to godhood, a wisp of divine consciousness found an opening.
That wisp of consciousness was bold and passionate. It became his second personality, sharing all his likes. Pei Zhuo tried every means he could think of to seal it completely inside his body.
But one day, he willingly released the divine consciousness once more.
"She is my disciple. I taught her and cherished her, and I forbade her from crossing the line. But one day, I developed feelings for her that were vile and shameful.
I couldn't confess them, yet they became a demonic temptation at every turn. So I wanted to be with her, even if it meant changing my appearance and using another wisp of divine consciousness to approach her."
This is my style of fantasy, with an enormous number of personal worldbuilding details. The master remains conscious and retains his memories when the second personality appears.
