Reborn, I Swear to Cut Out My Mentor’s Kidney

[Reborn + lighthearted + scheming + traditional fantasy]

Trapped for a thousand years, he was rescued by his master. He honored his master and became a legend in battle, only to die in the end and have his cultivation destroyed. It turned out he was merely a pawn in a shocking conspiracy.

After being reborn,

he reaches the pinnacle of power once more and plays the pig to eat the tiger.

“Keep a low profile. My master mustn't find out.”

His engagement is broken off? He grins confidently.

“Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river.”

He meets a woman in green again and lives off her while pretending otherwise.

“My wife has the makings of a Great Emperor!”
