Reborn, the Wicked Disciple Keeps Trying to Overpower His Master

[Two male leads + reborn + transmigrate into a book + reincarnation of souls + the Heartless Path]

[A seemingly cold but kindhearted master, in the receiving role, vs. a disciple whose mind is full of romance, in the pursuing role]

Straight man Xie Yun transmigrates into his own novel as Shen Hengru, the villainous master. He plans to cozy up to the male lead.

But the System says he can only protect himself by cultivating diligently. He can return to the modern world only after cultivating the Heartless Path to godhood.

And abusing the male lead can greatly improve his cultivation.

So Shen Hengru (Xie Yun) begins cultivating by tormenting the male lead.

But then...

The male lead kneels on the ground and says passionately and earnestly, “Please, Master, go ahead!”

Shen Hengru steels himself, grips the switch, and works up the courage. Try it and die!

The male lead says, “Master, that's not enough.”

In the novel, the villainous master dies far too early, so Shen Hengru can only try to stay alive.

He disguises himself as a woman and goes to find Gu Yunye, hoping to ease his resentment.

Shen Hengru says, “Who taught you that! What kind of behavior is that in the middle of the street?”

Gu Yunye says, “You did, Master. When the one you love is upset, you give them a hug (*ෆ´ ˘ `ෆ*).”

Shen Hengru says, “Was what I taught you really that improper?”
