Reborn: Starting by Escaping My Master

[Two Male Leads + Two Powerful Leads + Redemption + Younger Love Interest + Cultivation + A Perfectly Sweet Romance]

(A ruthless, sharp-tongued Demon Venerable on top x a stunning immortal who only wants revenge on the bottom)

In his previous life, Zhu Jian was killed when his beloved master, Qing Hao, tore out his heart.

Only before his death did he learn that his master had been using him all along, and had never felt a shred of genuine affection for him.

Reborn into a new life, Zhu Jian decides he will never love him again. He escapes his master's side to cultivate and gain experience, then plans to return for revenge.

Later, Qing Hao, his master from the previous life, also transmigrates into this one. Having lost Zhu Jian, he finally realizes what he truly wants.

Qing Hao holds Zhu Jian tightly. "A Jian, your master can't live without you..."

He would even give up ruling the Six Realms!

But he discovers that A Jian, who once loved him more than life itself, already has someone more important in his heart.

"Kid, are you taking advantage of me?"

"Brother Jian, don't be mad. I was wrong."

"Big brother, my dear big brother, not just my body, but even my life belongs to you."

"Wifey, darling, honey~"

The Demon Venerable's sweetly barbed remarks to his master: "Uncle Qing Hao is getting on in years. Surely he wouldn't compete with a younger man for the one he loves, right?"
