Master, Stop Saving the World and Fall in Love!

[Two male leads + master and disciple + slow-burn romance + devoted to each other + mutual salvation + younger love interest + a touch of ensemble cast + multiple couples]

Mu Yunzheng was an overworked office drone stuck in the 996 grind who loved reading novels. When he was bound to a System, he was a little dazed.

How could the System have picked a lonely nobody like him?

And so he became the master of Tianji Peak in this world... a master who was about to take on a disciple, no less...

Guided by his own idea of what made a good master, Mu Yunzheng, who was good at putting on an act, taught and cared for his disciples day after day...

Until... he realized that he seemed to have taken in a disciple who truly needed him.

His disciple was possessive and difficult to soothe. Whenever he was hurt, he would tug at Mu Yunzheng's robe and say, “Master, could you stay?”

Mu Yunzheng was a little reluctant to let go of the feeling of being needed, so he began carefully preserving their master-disciple relationship.

But then he discovered that his disciple had been putting on an act all along...

The sudden kiss left Mu Yunzheng completely dazed.

Mu Yunzheng: w(ﾟДﾟ)w

Chu Yiyun found his master fascinating. On the surface, he always seemed unruffled, but in truth, he had all sorts of little tells.

For instance, when he felt awkward, he would press his lips together before speaking. When he lied, he would glance to the side, then look back with a perfectly straight face...

Most importantly... his master didn't seem very good at turning people down.

So Chu Yiyun pretended to be pitiful, reaching out to grab his master's robe and asking him to stay and keep him company.

Just as expected, his master took the bait.
