Master! Could You Stop Dragging Me Into Cultivation?

[Age gap + master as the pursuer + fate decides all + both leads are virgins + doting romance + born and raised in the cultivation world + no ridiculous melodramatic tropes]

A naturally gifted cultivator who seems easygoing and refined but is actually a little world-weary, paired with an outwardly indifferent and unfeeling master whose heart burns with a desire to pursue love.

Lin Ziyun had been raised in luxury since he was little.

His mother would never let him suffer hardships he shouldn’t have to endure.

But when he was six, he was found to be a good-for-nothing with no talent at all.

Before he could even grieve, Yan Wujiu, the sect leader of the foremost cultivation sect, packed him up and took him away, raising him in another luxurious nest.

Even with the finest cultivation resources, his progress was still far slower than everyone else’s.

He wasn’t suited to this path in the first place, but everyone hoped he would keep going.

Every step, every year.

Giving, pitying, accepting, pitiful.

In the end, was it he who accepted, or was it he who pitied?

At last, he couldn’t keep going. He wanted to close his eyes and never wake again, but his good master patted his head and pinched his cheek, and somehow he ended up taking a shortcut.

Only when he was thoroughly devoured did he glimpse the red thread that had been wrapped around them for who knew how many years.

[In short, a lazy little darling who doesn’t want to cultivate is forced to huff and puff through cultivation]
