What Do I Do About My Nezha Turning Evil?

After transmigrating into a fantasy world, Xu Qingwei met an old man with an immortal air who claimed to be her master. He tossed her a spirit pearl and ordered her to enter the mortal world and look after it, promising a generous reward when she returned. Xu Qingwei asked what the old man would give her. He said he would send her home. Xu Qingwei: ! So you know I transmigrated here. Xu Qingwei accepted the deal and placed the spirit pearl in a woman’s womb. She waited patiently for three years and six months... until the spirit pearl became a pretty little baby in a red bellyband, with a crowd of people following behind and shouting, “Nezha!” Only then did she realize she was actually the legendary Nezha’s master, Taiyi Zhenren. Xu Qingwei: Great. Keep smiling.jpg According to the old man’s instructions, the deal would be complete only once she had raised the spirit pearl to be “true, good, and beautiful.” Xu Qingwei raised the child with tears in her eyes, teaching him with care. Whenever he caused trouble, she cleaned up after him, patiently guiding him every day and urging him to grow into a good immortal who punished evil and upheld justice. There’s no need to dwell on the hardships. The kid was seriously mischievous, arrogant and unrestrained, just as you’d expect from the rebellious Nezha. But hard work paid off, and the beautiful young man really did transform from a mischievous brat into a fine young man. Xu Qingwei was deeply gratified. She wiped away one last tear and set off to find the old man and claim his promise. But the beautiful young man suddenly pulled out the Red Armillary Sash and bound her inside Golden Light Cave. Xu Qingwei: ??? Hey! Golden Light Cave was her home, and the Red Armillary Sash was a gift from her. What did this disobedient disciple think he was doing? In the shadowy cave, the young man’s red robes were dazzling, and his phoenix eyes shone like blazing fire that could burn everything to ashes. “Master, what do you want?” He kissed her tears away without hesitation and wrapped an arm around her waist, burying his face against her neck. “Master wants everything. Golden Light Cave is yours, and the Red Armillary Sash is yours too. But why can’t your disciple be yours...?” “If you’re going home, you’re leaving your disciple behind, hmm?” * Nezha was born proud and untamable, fated to take lives, and destined to be alone. But he was incredibly lucky to have a master who taught him skills and the Dao, gave him cultivation and magical treasures, and reminded him to dress warmly when it was cold and stay cool when it was hot. But this wonderful master had done all of it just so she could go home, leaving him alone again. Nezha naturally refused to accept that. He would show her what it really meant to be beyond discipline. Reader's Guide: 1. Taiyi Zhenren is gender-swapped. If you don't like gender-swapped characters, don't force yourself to read it. 2.
