[Transmigration + rebirth + forced love + resurrection + two male leads + happy ending + cultivation + the beloved of the past]
[An emotionally expressive yet outwardly aloof master, the recipient, x an outwardly righteous but inwardly brooding and scheming overpowered male lead, the pursuer]
Lu Ren
An office worker whose life was as ordinary as his name
Transmigrates into a cultivation novel as the master, the beloved of the past, destined to die for the male lead.
With a death script in hand, all he wants is to stay alive.
But on the day of the sect's disciple selection, Zhu Jue, the reborn overpowered male lead, kneels before him in front of everyone.
"In this life, this disciple wishes only to become a student of Elder Lu Ren of Yuheng Peak."
Looking into those unfathomably deep eyes, Lu Ren suddenly realizes:
"The author has set me up."
Zhu Jue has been reborn.
In his previous life, he shattered the void and ascended to the rank of Immortal Venerable, only to lose the one he loved forever and sink into eternal regret.
In this life, he activates all his cheat abilities early, kills every threat, and keeps his master safely behind him.
But when his master once again takes a fatal blow for him and closes his eyes in his arms...
Zhu Jue finally understands.
Gentle protection cannot guarantee forever.
Then he will imprison him.
Lock him away somewhere only he can see, in a world only he can touch.
A century later, Lu Ren opens his eyes.
The boy of old has become a Demon Venerable who commands the three realms. He strokes Lu Ren's waking lashes with his fingertip, his voice as gentle as ever, yet allowing no refusal.
"Master, this time... you can't escape."
Wait... a Demon Venerable?
The plot has gone completely off the rails!
