Unparalleled Artist: Unlikely Hero

Following his father's murder, Wu Ling's mother returned to the life of a courtesan, disguising her young son as a girl to take refuge in the Bamboo Silk House, a women's only sect dedicated to the arts. Now, as his powers awaken, he'll find himself torn between protecting his family and the goals of powerful cultivators who see him as a means to an end. "Wu Ling, I've accepted a marriage proposal on your behalf," the bewitching Hall Master of the Bamboo Silk House declared. "When you enter the Inner Sect, you'll enter under the name 'Hua Qianhu', fiancee of a young lord of the Liang family." "Hall Master, that's impossible!" Wu Ling protested. "Even if you ignore my relationship with Meifeng, I might have dressed well enough to hide as a mortal woman but I could never..." "So you truly didn't realize what you were doing," the Hall Master said, a dark smile on her lips. "Little Ling, you're a natural-born Shapeshifter. I'll teach you what you need to know," she said, her features shifting until she looked like a mirror image of the stunned Wu Ling. "As long as you follow my arrangements and learn my techniques, it isn't impossible for you to reunite with Meifeng..." "But you should consider Young Lord Liang carefully," the Hall Master added. "His affection for you is genuine. Perhaps, one day, you'll even feel the same for him..."

"NO!" Wu Ling shouted, dropping the identity token and staring at his mother in horror. "No, they can't! Mother, how could you let them?"

"Relax Ling'er," Wu Ningli said, gesturing for her son to return to his seat. "Hall Master has no intention of turning you into a eunuch. She wants the power of that manual at her command and she's afraid that harming you would impair your ability to use it," she explained.

"Whether she's right or not, it provides a shield for you. Her only requirement is that when you visit the sect, you do so as you are now so that you don't draw attention to what you alone among male disciples have been allowed to keep."
