Has the Venerable Master Turned Evil Today?

Tentatively updating every other day. If I make a ranking, I'll update accordingly. Coming next: Mistook My Husband for a Pet. If you're interested, you can add it to your reading list in advance (heart). Blurb: Shen Yun is an orphan who accidentally falls into a trap on her way to seek a master. Just as she is at a loss, a young man dressed in blue appears before her. Shen Yun assumes he's a good person, but his first words are: “Agree to become my disciple, and I'll pull you out.” “…” She has no choice but to agree. His body is as frail as paper, liable to fall over in a gust of wind and break at the slightest touch. His temperament is even harder to fathom: it's bad enough that his moods are unpredictable, but he's also outrageously domineering and shameless, repeatedly using the fact that he saved her life to threaten Shen Yun. Shen Yun can't help cursing him: “The martial world is full of treacherous people. You really can't judge a person by their looks.” Shen Yun deliberately gets him drunk and leaves, never imagining that her master has an abysmal tolerance for alcohol. One cup is enough to knock him out. And then things go terribly wrong. Her usually cool and calculating master goes on a drunken rampage, gazing at her with wounded eyes as he kisses her fiercely. Shen Yun: … Only later does Shen Yun learn that this man is the only Nascent Soul expert in the world. He once stood just one step away from the Divine Realm, a heaven-blessed prodigy revered by all, and the very person she had originally set out to find. Now he has fallen to the mortal world, covered in wounds and slandered by everyone. Shen Yun is about to comfort him when she accidentally enters his sea of consciousness and learns some things about his past. Her heart turns cold. “You were lying to me all along?” After learning the truth, Shen Yun seriously considers killing him. Later, the world turns upside down, and Xie Cheng falls into her hands, gravely injured and suffering from amnesia. Shen Yun grips a dagger and presses it to his chest. “I never thought I'd see the day.” Xie Cheng suddenly raises a hand and catches her wrist between his fingers. There is not a trace of fear between his brows. Instead, he says nonchalantly, “You can't kill me like that.” Then he covers her hand with his own and moves the dagger to the vital point just left of his heart. Word by word, he says, “You have to stab here to kill me in one blow.” Shen Yun's heart turns cold. When did he regain his memories? “Aren't you afraid I'll really kill you?” He lowers his eyes to look at her, his voice tender. “From the day you entered my sea of consciousness, you've been an inescapable inner demon. If you want my life, it's yours.” Reader's guide: The leads are both strong, and this is a sweet story of mutual salvation and rising from adversity. No triggers, so feel free to enjoy. A preview of the upcoming novel Mistook My Husband for a Pet. Here's the blurb: In her previous life, she was the Demon Lord's trusted general and heir apparent. After a battle between gods and demons injured her spiritual roots and erased her memories, she became a Demonic Tail Flower. By chance, the Flower Goddess found her while traveling in the mortal realm and brought her back to the Divine Realm, taking her as a disciple with the intention of reforming her. Her talent was mediocre, but she was fascinated by everything in the Divine Realm, from its cultivation arts to its rare treasures. Her only real loves were brewing wine and raising pets. Sipping fine wine, she imitates her master and says, “Life as a god is long. Fine wine and spirit pets are the only things one must never forsake.” Jiang Que is the War God's first disciple. His magical arts and strategic mind rank among the best in the Nine Provinces and Eight Wastelands. When it comes to love between men and women, however, he is exceptionally slow on the uptake. One day, a misstep sends him plummeting from the Thirty-Third Heaven to the Ninth. This lofty, untouchable beauty falls from his pedestal, reverts to his original form, and is picked up by the heroine. Through a series of misunderstandings, they form a master-servant contract. “What a handsome little lamb. How about becoming my spirit beast? Would you like that?” Jiang Que is horrified. What kind of outrageous suggestion is this? Who wants to be your spirit pet? He is just about to run when she grabs him by the scruff of his neck. “Insolent! Ignorant little immortal, do you know who I am? I am the Divine Lord Jiang Que!” “I don't know any Divine Lord Jiang Que. I only know that spirit pets should obey their owners.” “…” Later, when her memories return, she becomes a “Demon King Unbound.” Jiang Que blocks her way. She reaches out and grabs his chin. “Who do you think you are, standing in my way?” “Your fiancé.” “Jiang Que, I advise you not to push your luck.” He laughs. “Push my luck? Since you say I'm pushing my luck, let me show you what really pushing your luck looks like.” He bends down, his warm breath falling across her cheek as he surrounds her completely. His deep eyes meet hers. His voice takes on a magnetic quality as he says, word by word, “Are you afraid now?” Theme: Admitting your mistakes and making amends is the greatest good
