[Devoted, earnest girl who respects her teacher x Yandere, ghostly beauty of a master]
After the college entrance exams, Sang Qingning transmigrated into the cultivation world and took a young man as her master.
Her master cared for her deeply. Even as he was about to die, he made sure to find a good husband to look after her.
After taking care of her master's funeral arrangements, Sang Qingning sought out the good husband he had found for her. But when she saw a face exactly like her master's, she fell silent.
Thinking of him as the excellent meal ticket her master's last words had mentioned, Sang Qingning gathered her courage and took the first step.
"Hello, I'm here to marry you!"
-
After they married, he would gaze tenderly at her and say he saw her only as a disciple.
Sang Qingning: I don't understand, but I respect that.
As it happened, she couldn't feel romantic love for a husband who shared her master's face either. She treated him as her master's legacy.
But gradually, Sang Qingning realized that there was something off about the husband her master had chosen for her.
She could almost always see him somewhere, sense his presence, and feel his clinging gaze. Like an airtight web, he wrapped around her completely, taking over her breath and stirring her heartbeat, as if he wanted them to share the same pulse and live as one.
More importantly, she uncovered a secret that neither her master nor her husband had ever revealed.
As the silhouettes of her master and her husband gradually merged, the young man caressed her collarbone and murmured softly in her ear.
No, you can't...
Master and disciple are master and disciple. Master and disciple have to be together forever...
-
From the heroine's perspective: He's my master's legacy. I have to take good care of him.
From the hero's perspective: We're only master and disciple. Master and disciple are master and disciple. Master and disciple can't become lovers...
Note: The heroine misunderstands her master's dying words, but the hero has been dark and obsessive from beginning to end. He'll cling to the heroine like a ghost, and marrying her will only make him even more obsessive, because he'll lose control...
