Did My Disciple Fool Me Again Today?

Gu Li is a top wish-granter who travels between countless worlds. He's clever and calculating, but has no idea what it means to love someone sincerely. His System's mission is clear: win over the aloof master, Qi Hanjiang, and prevent his fated downfall. So Gu Li turns his furnace physique and an unexpected spiritual union into cold, calculated tools for weaving a web of love. He acts out every kind of devotion, but never believes in true love. Qi Hanjiang is a lonely moon hanging high over Biyun Mountain. His heart should have been pure and clear, but after an unexpected blending of their souls, Gu Li's image takes root in his eyes. He sees through the delusions and careful schemes in his disciple's eyes, yet still uses a protective mirror to preserve the moments when Gu Li forces a smile, nourishes his shattered meridians with his own vital blood, and even willingly descends from his lofty station to serve as the vessel for his tribulation. But as time passes, Gu Li begins to notice something is off. When he pretends to get hurt while cultivating, his master spends the whole night guiding his spiritual energy and even improves the sword forms he can never quite get right. When he pretends to be gravely injured in the tournament, his master panics and gives up a portion of his cultivation to heal him. Then one day, the System chimes in: “Target affection level full. Mission complete.” It turns out the most skillful seduction is when someone knows it's all an act and still offers you their whole heart, until they teach you what love is.
