Twenty years ago, a celestial omen changed. Beichen Palace massacred the entire Jiu Fang clan and killed the infant born under the sign of disaster.
Nanya Xue, the Snow-Trampling Fairy, was among them.
For the next twenty years, on her master's orders, Nanya Xue raised the posthumous child of an old friend. She gave him a name and taught him sword arts.
At some point, her one and only obedient disciple seemed to become a different person.
He grew silver-tongued and cunning. Worried that thoughts of revenge would consume him, she kept him close and watched him at all times.
Unfortunately, her disciple was destined to face a calamity.
When Jiu Fang Zhuo's identity was exposed to the sect's powerful elders, Nanya Xue stepped forward to vouch for him and settled the matter.
When Jiu Fang Zhuo crept into her room in the middle of the night, she punished him by making him kneel before the hall all night. He said he knew he'd done wrong.
When Jiu Fang Zhuo tore his clothes to shreds and lay in the snow, the corners of his eyes burning red...
Nanya Xue pressed him into the bone-chilling spring water with one hand, forcing her disciple to calm down.
At that moment, she felt things might be getting out of hand.
[Powerful, gentle, aloof, protective, the world's greatest and very best master heroine × slightly ?? disciple male lead]
Written purely for catharsis, and quite short.
#OversteppingTheLine #YoungerMan #IceQueen #MasterAndDisciple #Substitute #DeepHatred #TorturedRomance (tags thrown together before starting)
The male lead is a little unhinged and a total drama queen. Basically: he talks about revenge, but in practice, he's all over his master. The only reason he can keep acting up is that the heroine spoils him.
Theme: Admitting your mistakes and correcting them is the greatest good.
