My Master Is Dead, So I Might as Well Turn Evil

[Also known as: The Immortal Path of Spirit Plants] [Slow Burn]

[No System. Pure love between master and disciple. The protagonist turns dark later on. Dark fiction.]

[A little angst doesn't count as angst.]

[The villains aren't idiots. A battle of wits.]

Qi Su, an orphan of nine, is taken in with kindness by Yun Xu. For the sake of profit, the sect uses a beast tide to wipe out the Yun family, and Qi Su wanders from place to place to escape pursuit.

Ruan Qinghe takes in the helpless, destitute Qi Su, becomes his master, and protects him as he grows up.

But the sect is full of treacherous people, and when a conspiracy strikes, his master is brutally killed.

The kind heart of the once-gentle boy shatters completely.

Clutching his old memories with Ruan Qinghe, he schemes against everyone who stands in his way or can be used.

“Disciple, you seem to be getting more and more clingy.”

“We haven't seen each other in so long. I missed you, Master.”

“But, my disciple, isn't it improper for us to hold each other like this?”

“We're innocent and have nothing to hide. What's wrong with it?”
