Lu Yuan thought he was doomed to spend his whole life as a wage slave, until he unexpectedly transmigrated into a revenge novel about a female protagonist who turns evil, and became the master of a sect's peak.
If he can steer the protagonist, who's on the verge of turning evil, back onto the right path, he'll earn a reward and return to Blue Star, where he can retire early.
"I'm more familiar than anyone with the story of the arrogant female protagonist who gets expelled from her sect, turns evil, and rises to become an unstoppable powerhouse."
Lu Yuan figured he could complete the mission without lifting a finger, so he took devoted care of her. They spent a long time together, until...
"Master, Master! Were you talking to another female cultivator?!"
"I'm not jealous at all! I'm just worried you'll be tricked, Master!"
"Master, Senior Sisters are all bad people! The kind who'll sneak in at midnight and turn you into a pill!"
"Master is one of the Nine Grandmasters? Th-That still won't stop them from abducting you!"
Later, Lu Yuan heard from his other disciples that his own disciple was a cold and ruthless prodigy, aloof and unapproachable.
Lu Yuan was baffled. Cold and ruthless? An aloof prodigy? That couldn't be right. She was never like that around him.
Only later did he realize the truth wasn't so simple.
When Lu Yuan wasn't around...
Her killing intent flared as she pointed her sword at the cultivator lying helpless on the ground.
"Remember this: I am Mu Ran. My master speaking to you is a gift. If you dare say a single bad word about him, don't expect me to show mercy!"
When Lu Yuan was around...
She hugged Lu Yuan and pointed pitifully at the cultivator she'd beaten to the ground.
"Master~ Master, they were bullying me!"
