A Teacher-Student Romance with Nezha

(Blurb saved as a screenshot.)

Zhong Liuyi transmigrates into ancient Shang as an nameless slave girl.

After enduring countless hardships, she finally escapes, only to end up lost deep in the mountains.

It isn't until a monster opens its enormous mouth to eat her that Zhong Liuyi realizes she has transmigrated into a fantasy version of the Shang dynasty.

At the crucial moment, the lotus-and-mandarin-duck pendant she carries shines brilliantly and kills the monster on the spot.

A distorted voice comes from the jade pendant. "Who... are you?"

Zhong Liuyi is overjoyed. So her golden finger is an old man who lives inside an object!

She hurriedly bows to him. "Master! I'm your fated disciple!!"

Nezha, far away in Chentang Pass: ???

…

One day, while playing, Nezha finds half of a broken lotus-and-mandarin-duck pendant in the storeroom.

As if possessed, he clutches the pendant in his hand. From then on, he wears it at his waist and never takes it off.

When a girl's voice comes from the pendant, Nezha suddenly understands. The pendant is one half of a pair of matching jade pendants that can send messages. No wonder it felt so different to him.

If a disciple shows up right at your door, how could you refuse to take them in?

Nezha is only six, and his playful nature gets the better of him. Just like that, he becomes a master.

From then on, he speaks like an adult and tries to act like one. He makes a remarkably convincing master.

When Taiyi Zhenren hears about it, he lets out a piercing shriek. "You little menace, you haven't even completed your own training and you're already taking disciples! How did you even manage to carry out a whole disciple-acceptance ceremony? And you bowed to the goddess Nuwa! Playing around is one thing, but making it so formal means you'll have to bear the karmic consequences!!"

Nezha: "Then I'll bear them. What's there to be afraid of?"

…

Later.

Zhong Liuyi: "Falling in love with your master is immoral..."

Nezha: "I never claimed to be a particularly moral person."

P.S. I mainly want to write a coming-of-age romance about their youth: pure, earnest, and full of affection. Nezha's image varies greatly between different adaptations, and I want to write the Nezha I imagine, the Nezha who belongs to me. I hope to capture the heroine's youthful passion and childlike sincerity, as well as the hero's bold spirit and unyielding nature. Dedicated to my childhood dreams: a blazing heart that will never go out (Power!! Great God Nezha, grant me strength!!!)

Theme: Never give up, even in the face of adversity.
