After working overtime until she dropped dead, office drone Shen Qingxian opened her eyes to find she'd transmigrated into a book, becoming the cold and vicious master whose fate in the story was tragic.
Her own direct disciple, Yun Mugu, would grow up to become the Chaos Demon Lord who overturned the Three Realms.
The original ending: His golden core was destroyed, his tendons and bones were ripped out, his bones were made into a bedside table, and his soul was burned by raging flames for a thousand years.
Bound to a life-saving sign-in System, he had only one task: keep the corruption level under control and stay alive! If the corruption level exceeded one hundred, his soul would be annihilated.
The boy before him had a bruised wrist, and a glint of obsession hidden in his eyes. His corruption level was already at eighty-five, just fifteen points from exploding.
Shen Qingxian: The good news is, from the start, I'm already standing on the line between life and death. The bad news is, my disciple is a lovesick maniac.
So the head of Hanshuang Hall changed his ways.
While others abused their disciples, he gave out pills. While others made them kneel, he tucked them into warm beds. While others kept their distance, he gritted his teeth and tried to soothe the kid.
But every act of kindness, from giving him medicine to eating together and going down the mountain to face tribulations, only made the boy's possessiveness grow more fiercely.
The boy appeared obedient, eyes lowered, but secretly gripped a broken sword in his sleeve, his gaze glued to Shen Qingxian inch by inch.
As Shen Qingxian dealt with the sect's messes, resolved a blackwater crisis in the mine behind the mountain, and happened to bring back a young corpse-transformed child named Xiao Tao, he kept his eyes glued to the corruption level ticking across the panel.
Shen Qingxian's inner thoughts: Please, stop going up! If it rises any further, I'll really become furniture!
Yun Mugu said softly, "Master, you can only look at me."
An office drone of a master struggles to survive, maintaining his cold persona while soothing the future Demon Lord's overwhelming possessiveness, all in a grand cultivation adventure to save the world.
