After the Beloved Disciple Fakes Their Death, the Cold and Aloof Master Goes Mad

[A seemingly aloof yet secretly unhinged master × a money-loving, flirtatious sunshine heroine] Terminally ill Jiang Tong unexpectedly gets a chance to recover her health. The catch is that she must repair ninety-nine worldlines on the verge of collapse. The second world turns out to be hellishly difficult. She has to make her master, who cultivates the Heartless Dao, understand the taste of love. The good news: she is her master's only disciple, so she has the advantage of proximity. The bad news: her master is the designated male lead, and Jiang Tong isn't the heroine. She hits wall after wall, clings to him, and gives him her heart. At last, she makes the flower on the high peak fall for her until his eyes redden with love. Jiang Tong had planned to stay, but she watches the heroine, who looks seventy percent like her, fall into a passionate and torturous romance with her master, gradually taking her place. At last, Jiang Tong understands that the worldline cannot be defied. She stages her own death and leaves that world. She completes ninety-eight world missions in the blink of an eye, only to be forcibly sent back to her master's world for the final one. Her new mission is to serve as a foil to the heroine, make her master fall for her, then dump him, while also investigating why the worldline is collapsing. Jiang Tong suppresses her restless feelings, thinking that doing it all over again will be a piece of cake. Until one day, in a pitch-black room, her master pins her to the bed. Jiang Tong senses something is wrong. A clap of thunder outside the window illuminates the face of the person before her. His crimson eyes hold a nearly unhinged restraint as he bites the tip of Jiang Tong's ear. The gesture is as intimate as lovers whispering cheek to cheek. But his voice is sinister and hoarse. “Didn't your master tell you not to go wandering off?” Those hands, white as jade, stroke Jiang Tong's slender, pale neck. “Naughty children have to be punished, you know.”
