As Your Master

Summary
[A vengeful bad-seed girl vs. a cold, austere sword immortal devoted to teaching others to do good]
After stabbing to death the fox demon who had harmed the one she loved, Li You'an took her own life.
Never did she expect that one day she would be reborn, and covered in wounds, claw her way out of a mountain grave.
Yet she heard that her enemy had also come back to life.
She resolved at once to kill that person a second time.
But on the road to revenge, Yan Chuntang, the Shangqing sword immortal of the Sword Manor, blocked her every time.
Under the name of Li You'an's master, he forbade her to take any more lives.
Yan Chuntang had the skin and bones of an immortal, a naturally cold demeanor, and was the greatest swordsman in the world.
But Li You'an, rotten to the core since birth, could always glimpse the shadow of a scoundrel beneath his hypocritical airs.
Later, through countless days and nights together, the two became inseparable.
Only then did she learn that Yan Chuntang, the Shangqing sword immortal—was indeed the biggest bastard under heaven.
Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Xianxia readers who enjoy rebirth revenge and the thrill of repaying every wrong
- Readers drawn to the tension of the master-disciple role and complex emotional bonds
- Readers who appreciate morally grey characters and are unsatisfied by simple good-versus-evil binaries
- Those who want a xianxia story that departs from conventional sweet romance and carries a ruthless edge
Not a good fit for
- Readers who prefer light sweet romance and dislike revenge and ruthless plotlines
- People who are sensitive to or averse to the master-disciple romance setup itself
- Readers expecting a traditional righteous protagonist and clearly defined moral stance
Reading tips
- Watch how the heroine switches between "playing nice" and "showing her bad side"; that is the key to understanding her motives.
- Each of the hero's reasons for stopping her killings is worth comparing; in the echoes you can see his stance loosening.
- The information gap before and after rebirth is the source of suspense; read continuously to avoid missing foreshadowing payoffs.
- Read each confrontation between master and disciple as a debate over principles; there is more to savor beyond the thrill.

About the author
Er Yanghua Tai is a web-fiction author about whom little public information is available. Two works by this author are currently visible on the site, the representative titles being Wei Shi (For the Master) and Jia Chen (The Retainer). Judging from the common categories, the author's writing centers on two types of subject matter: otherworldly continents and time-travel alternate history, and these two labels largely sum up the entry points to the works. Both Wei Shi and Jia Chen are set in imagined worlds and develop their stories through time-travel or otherworldly premises. Because the author has not made public such personal details as an English name, nationality, or dates of birth and death, the present introduction can only address the works themselves and makes no conjectures about the author's life. On the available evidence, Er Yanghua Tai's writing remains at a stage focused on genre material; the close similarity in category between the two works suggests a preference for building fictional spaces far removed from reality and arranging character relationships and plot conflicts within them. Readers interested in this style may begin with these two representative titles to understand the author's narrative orientation within the frameworks of the otherworld and time travel.
