My Dangerous Master

As the head of an immortal sect, Jiang Yingchu leads a life full of twists and turns, utterly unlike her master's.

With the heavy responsibility of exorcising demons on her shoulders, Jiang Yingchu is run off her feet.

Her master, meanwhile, has nothing but a pale beauty's face and no strength to fight a chicken, so she can't help at all.

No matter. Jiang Yingchu has long grown used to the arrangement between herself and her master: "I handle the outside, you handle the inside."

She doesn't ask much of her master. Just taking her medicine on time is enough.

Until an evil demon kidnaps her, and Yan Zhe furiously slays four beasts with a single sword strike.

Jiang Yingchu, who usually stays calm in any situation, sees this and panics, choosing to pretend she's asleep.

Yan Zhe has never doubted her little disciple. With a cold expression, she picks her up and walks steadily away.

The next day, Yan Zhe catches sight of a cockroach, turns pale with fright, and stumbles behind Jiang Yingchu.

Jiang Yingchu: ...

Could a cockroach really be scarier than a monster? Sure, keep pretending.

Jiang Yingchu doesn't know how to deal with her mysterious and dangerous master.

Yan Zhe hasn't figured something out either.

The celestial history books record:

A daughter was born to the Jiang clan, named Yingchu, and she was born a demon.

The Emperor could not bear to see living beings suffer, so he disguised himself as an ordinary mortal and went undercover at her side, waiting for a chance to kill her.

Yan Zhe, the Emperor, still hasn't decided when to make her move.

–They seem like a harmonious couple, but disagree about this and that. Except they're compatible in that one way, if you know what I mean. In short, they're made for being incompatible., From the upcoming novel "Heartless and Unjust," blurb below

Everyone in the Three Realms knows that Pei Shuran, heir to the demon clan, defied the Demon Emperor and endured thirty-six bolts of heavenly lightning just to marry a mortal woman.

His love is hopelessly devoted, and nothing can cure him.

Unfortunately, Sheng Ting has never felt the slightest affection for her husband.

Pei Shuran unfurls his nine fox tails to entice her, and she asks blankly, "How much is one of your tails worth?"

Sheng Ting likes money.

She agreed to marry Pei Shuran because his betrothal gifts were extravagantly lavish.

So when someone offers Sheng Ting more money in exchange for Pei Shuran's life, she agrees at once.

But she's a mortal girl, and it's her first assassination attempt, so naturally she misses.

Pei Shuran is gravely wounded. Sheng Ting packs her things in the middle of the night and flees.

*

When they meet again, Sheng Ting borrows the body of a little demon and approaches her former husband as an apprentice pharmacist.

She remembers their past, remembers that she is a divine maiden, and remembers her duty to kill Pei Shuran.

Everyone knows that Pei Shuran was wounded by his wife, is utterly heartbroken, and needs to take medicine every day.

Sheng Ting watches Pei Shuran spend all day weeping before her portrait and suddenly feels a little guilty.

Then she happens upon the powerful character for "death" that Pei Shuran wrote on the back of the portrait.

She gently strokes the painting, only to discover that Pei Shuran wrote it long ago.

On the night they were married.
