The Grandmaster Wants to Kill Her Disciple Every Day (Female Master, Male Disciple)

Proud, aloof female master of the mystic sect x Beautiful, strong, tragic, seemingly innocent but secretly scheming male disciple

-

Ning Yuan is the founder of the mystic sect and the first to attain the Dao.

But no one has ever known that she cultivates the Path of Unfeeling.

While meditating in seclusion, Ning Yuan glimpses the future:

Over the next five years, fate will command her to fall in love with her eldest disciple, then kill him, completing her destined trial of killing both her disciple and her husband so she can ascend immediately.

But before she can ascend, the little disciple of the eldest disciple she killed, her own junior grand-disciple, will avenge his master and kill the sect founder: her.

It turns out that the junior grand-disciple she never paid any attention to is the male lead of a wish-fulfillment novel.

Ning Yuan, having just followed fate and confessed to her eldest disciple: shattered.

Fine. She won't pursue him for now. First, she'll go kill the male lead, then come back and figure out how to ascend.

*

When she finds the male lead, her eldest disciple has just saved the bloodied, useless male lead and is about to take him as a disciple. To stop the male lead from becoming her junior grand-disciple, Ning Yuan sabotages the master-disciple bonding ritual.

Unexpectedly, the ritual goes awry, and the person who takes the male lead as a disciple changes from her disciple to Ning Yuan herself.

Her junior grand-disciple accidentally becomes her junior disciple...

Now she's in trouble!

Bound by a master-disciple pact, Ning Yuan can no longer make any rash moves against the male lead.

So to get rid of him, she has no choice but to make him practice the most grueling techniques and face the most difficult trials, hoping he'll die on the path to immortality.

Yet despite being covered in wounds, the male lead remains deferential and obedient, his gaze lowered. "Master punishes me and is strict with me for my own good."

[The Male Lead's Version]

Master Ning Yuan stands above all, admired by everyone. He can only look up at her.

So he crosses the Sea of the Underworld, climbs the Sword Mountain, and endures every kind of trial, all so he can stand beside her as soon as possible...

Until one day, he discovers that his cold-hearted master is capable of loving someone.

It turns out a master can treat her disciple so well, and he is nothing but a substitute for the person in her heart.

He... can't accept it.

Later, he places his sword in Ning Yuan's hands.

"Master, if you want to prove the Dao and ascend, then kill me. I'll help you ascend."

* One-on-one romance. In the early chapters, the female lead cultivates the Path of Unfeeling and has no feelings, only wanting to ascend.

* The sect founder and her junior grand-disciple accidentally become master and disciple, so they are technically master and disciple.

* Fate is equivalent to a cannon-fodder plot task, but the female lead is a native of this world and doesn't know that.

* The male lead is exceptionally talented, but is young and always kept in check by his master.

* Please forgive any clichéd, melodramatic tropes.

Theme: Defy fate and change your destiny to ascend by the right path
