Master, Why Do You Smell So Good?

Note from October 6, 2026. Currently drafting. I have a day job, so to avoid slow updates and abandoning the story halfway through, I'll only start posting once the outline and draft have reached their targets. My profile has a completed master-disciple story, After Sneaking a Bite of My Beautiful Master, He Didn't Run Away, He Even Teased Me.

Reader's Guide:

1. Male master and female disciple, episodic stories with one trope per volume. BG, pure sweetness with no additives, and the male leads are virgins. This isn't a traditional master-disciple story. For specific character details and preferences, please see the blurb!

2. I'll start posting once I've drafted three short stories. I'm still slowly working on the chapter outlines.

3. Cultivation stages: Qi Refining - Foundation Establishment - Golden Core - Nascent Soul - Deity Transformation - Tribulation Transcendence

Prologue:

Lin Qingchuan studies under the current Si Ming. Her usual method of cultivation is... writing romance novels.

One day, her master came to deliver the Celestial Emperor's decree: "The Celestial Emperor is obsessed with thrilling stories and wants to read one about a master and disciple falling in love."

Qingchuan fell silent. She didn't understand, but she began writing without a trace of emotion.

Naturally, the stories written by the Si Ming sect became the fates of mortals in the lower realm.

As she wrote, Qingchuan started to think the couples were rather adorable.

That is, until the ascended masters and disciples started flaunting their love in front of her and her master, and her master began wagging a fox tail at her.

Qingchuan: Master, I'm not interested in you.

Her master smiled. "Is that so? How heartbreaking."

And what did Qingchuan write in her own book of fate? Here goes:

1. She has two masters???

One night, someone sat on the windowsill of Lin He. Their bearing, figure, and face looked so much like her master's.

That steady, aloof Sword Sect Immortal Venerable, Cang Ming.

Still half asleep, she got out of bed and approached the radiant figure. "Master, did you need something?"

"Your master is taking you out for fun."

Her master smiled. In an instant, the wind blew and cherry blossoms drifted down.

#No one knows that the leader of the Hehuan Sect and the Sword Sect Immortal Venerable look exactly alike.

#Tsk, tsk. Little He, don't let that block of wood turn you into one, too~

2. Her master is an old-fashioned stick in the mud

One had been drinking, the other was under a love curse. One was out of it, the other didn't care. Lin Yu and her master, Cang Jiu, spent the night together.

When Lin Yu woke up the next morning, her master had already disappeared. She didn't care, packed her things, and got ready for her next trial.

But the curse hadn't been lifted, and it flared up again. She found a handsome senior brother to help relieve it, but before they could go any further, her master kicked the door open with a dark expression.

Lin Yu understood. After all, they'd been master and disciple for years. Her master came first.

Cang Jiu was furious. "Wicked disciple! I came to find someone to break your curse. Get off me this instant!"

3. The Hehuan Sect master is still a virgin

Lin Huan was lured into the Hehuan Sect by the ethereal Immortal Venerable Cang Yue. After studying under a beautiful senior sister for a year or so, she was ready to graduate and head down the mountain to put her lessons into practice.

But at the very last moment before she graduated, her immortal master leaned over, pressed his forehead to hers, and smiled. "You can graduate only after you ■ me."

Lin Huan stumbled backward and stared at her senior sister in horror. "Is this the graduation requirement for every disciple?"

Her senior sister fell silent for a moment, then sent her a private voice message: "Your martial uncle used to cultivate the Ruthless Sword Path. They say he's the type who would kill his wife to achieve enlightenment. No one dares to pick him."

4. Wait, wasn't I talking to my senior sister?

Her master's homework was relentless, and his standards were strict. Lin Wan was suffering.

She opened her communication jade tablet and sent her senior sister a voice message, ranting and pouring out all her grievances.

But her senior sister remained utterly silent, only making an ambiguous "Mm" when Lin Wan slapped the table and said, "Senior Sister, don't you think Master is being totally unreasonable?"

Lin Wan couldn't stand being given the silent treatment. She said, sounding terribly wronged, "Good night, Senior Sister."

Her master's cool, deep voice came through the jade tablet. "Mm. Good night."

Lin Wan: ...?

5. After they reveal their secret identities, the sworn enemies still have to go back to being master and disciple

Lin Jia thought her master, Cang Kui, was acting strangely.

A foodie kept missing mealtimes. A Deity Transformation cultivator slept until late morning every day. And a swordsman trembled whenever he patted her head.

Lin Jia was worried. She asked her ghost cultivator subordinate to keep an eye on her master's movements, then went on with her own mission.

But after losing a fierce battle, she was bound and thrown before the enemy leader. When she saw the familiar boots, she blurted, "What the hell, Master?"

Her master crouched down, patted her head, and gazed at her gently. "When did you take on a job like this behind my back, A Jia?"

6. The ghost cultivator disciple climbs into her master's bed in the middle of the night

A hundred years after her death, Lin Yun awakened as a ghost in a secret realm. In a daze, she made her way back to her sect, only to find that her once radiant master, Immortal Venerable Cang Hai, had become increasingly gloomy and cold.

But one night, this same man sighed sorrowfully in front of her memorial tablet.

Knowing he couldn't see or touch her, Lin Yun hugged him, kissed him, ■■ him, and then ran away.

But the next second, something hooked around her waist.

Lin Yun: ? Wait, you can see me? Why didn't you say so sooner?!!

7. The undercover Demon Venerable tries to win over her righteous master

Demons rose in revolt, and the world teetered on the brink of collapse. Her master, Cang Cang, made himself the core of a formation to seal away the demon race.

At the very last moment before he entered the seal, Lin Ling followed the instructions of the dating System and threw herself at him. Then she and her master ended up facing each other knee to knee in the cramped formation core.

That's right, they barely knew each other.

Lin Ling gave an awkward smile. "Master, um, are you sleepy?"

They spent over a month amicably interacting inside the formation core. During that time, the System disappeared, while her master grew ever more indulgent and affectionate toward her.

But one day, the demons broke the seal. A rabbit with black smoke pouring off its body poked its head in, ears drooping. "My lord, I really don't mean to interrupt, but A Huang's seventh aunt's third daughter's fourth cousin..."

Cang Cang froze. "My lord?"

Lin Ling grabbed the rabbit by the ears and tossed it into the distance. She smiled awkwardly. "Um, lovely weather, isn't it? Haha."

8. Master tells me not to stay up late

Lin Shu was up until the hour of the tiger again when her master, Cang Yan, caught her.

His already cool, distant face grew even colder. Without a word, he extinguished the formation lamp in her room, pressed her down onto the bed, and tucked her in.

Lin Shu was so frightened she lay awake until dawn.

Mainly because she didn't know whether he'd seen the explicit picture of himself she'd drawn while staying up late.

9. Unable to win the heart of her succubus master

Lin Le had planned everything out.

She stole an ownerless pocket world from a secret realm, built the largest spy organization in the entire cultivation world, and bought enough shackles, potions, formation plates, and immortal-binding ropes on the black market. All so she could imprison her master, Immortal Venerable Cang Yun, in a golden house on the way to the sect tournament.

On the first day of the golden house plan, her master acted as if the shackles on his feet weren't there and meditated as usual.

On the second day, her master sent Lin Le a message asking how the sect tournament was going and whether she'd been hurt.

On the third day, her master told Lin Le to come home for soup.

…

On some unknown day of the golden house plan, Lin Le received no message from her master. She hurried back to check on him, only to find him sprawled on the bed with his clothes in disarray.

Then a black, heart-shaped tail curled around her calf.

Her master's hoarse voice came from beside her ear. "I'm sorry, Xiao Le. There's no suppressant here, so I'm afraid I'll need you to help me."

10. Why is Master so eager to find his disciple a partner? Such a mystery!

Immortal Venerable Cang Ya only wanted his disciple to find a partner quickly and stop hovering around him. But every blind date she went on was a bust.

Then one day, Lin Cheng asked, "Master, how do you pursue a man?"

Cang Ya dug his palm into his own hand until it bled, then came up with a terrible idea: If you want to win a man's heart, start by winning his stomach.

The next day, Cang Ya received a roast chicken that was charred black on the outside and radiated a terrifying aura.
