[Two Male Leads + Cultivation + Two Powerful Leads + A Touch of Ensemble Cast + On-Screen Comments + Comedy]
Xie Yanqing is the sect's undisputed number-one menace. He's blown up the main hall of the Pill Peak, cut off the Sect Master's beard, and set out to cultivate only to accidentally set fire to the Scripture Pavilion and roast the sword his senior brother had just acquired...
The sect members are at their wits' end.
By chance, he sees on-screen comments and learns that he's a cannon-fodder character in a power fantasy novel.
[Not just Xie Yanqing. His entire sect is a stepping stone for the male lead, and they'll all die without their bodies intact!]
Xie Yanqing: ?
Xie Yanqing firmly believes that a partner should be raised from childhood. That way, they're reliable to use and won't give him a headache. So he sets his sights on a ready-made egg that's still unhatched in his master's room.
A little silver snake with horns hatches from the egg and curls softly around his hand.
Xie Yanqing adores it and teases it every day.
One day, as he teases the little snake as usual, it transforms into a white-robed man who takes him into his arms. The man is none other than his master, Shen Duyuan.
[Dragons are born with twin bodies sharing one soul. Keep teasing him, and you're in for it.]
[Hehe, I get you, commenter above.]
[Would you call this getting what you deserve?]
Xie Yanqing's scalp prickles. He looks down: !!!
The on-screen comments are practically crying in a panic: You said finding a cultivation partner was just to improve your cultivation. What about now?
Xie Yanqing looks utterly defeated. “If you think you can do better, go ahead. I'm done trying to figure out this cultivation business.”
