Cultivation Separation

Five years ago, the Qiankun Secret Realm opened, and various sects of the cultivation world sent their finest young disciples for training. Five years later, when the secret realm closed, everyone returned—except the former young sect master and current leader of the Ice Profound Sect, Mu Lingchen, now had an adorable daughter by his side. His own flesh and blood. Speculations ran wild about which fairy could have possibly moved the impassive Sect Master Mu to forsake his ascetic ways—and who would dare abandon both him and their child afterward. Mu Lingchen remained tight-lipped on the matter. In this relatively peaceful cultivation world, where deadly conflicts with demons and monsters were scarce, cultivators found solace in gossip and matchmaking. Many were astonished to discover that Sect Master Mu, too, was a man of earthly desires, and matchmakers flocked to him. Xu Qingxiu, a young hero from the Cloud Valley Immortal Sect, heard the news with deep concern and monitored the situation closely— *“If Mu Lingchen marries, will his new wife accept his daughter? What if she feels neglected and unloved? My master always said, ‘A stepmother means a stepfather’—what should I do? I have no experience handling this, and I’m too afraid to ask for advice…”* Compared to this, mastering the Thousand Mountains Sword Art seemed ridiculously simple. —————— Originally wanted to title it *“Divorce, Cultivation-Style,”* but then remembered they never even got married—how could they divorce? The initial title was *“The Ice-Cold Sect Leader Falls for Me”* :)—turns out names like these are easier to come up with. I’m really leaning into these cheesy, sensational tropes now QAQ .
