After the Torture-Novel Master Falls Terminally Ill, the Vengeful Disciple Turns Dark

[Two male leads, the groveling-arc-from-hell trope, transmigrate into a book, reborn, misunderstandings, both virgins, cultivation, unrequited love, happy ending]

○ A terminally ill beauty who transmigrates into a book and becomes a beloved mentor, Zhong Wanuo, vs. Gu Feishan, his reborn, violent, revenge-seeking, regretful disciple

"Master, even the sound of you breathing disgusts me."

Zhong Wanuo lay in a pool of blood. He had never imagined Gu Feishan would hurt him.

After transmigrating into the role of a beautiful, wicked master who gets skinned and dismembered by his disciple, Zhong Wanuo carefully nurtures the frail, pitiful Gu Feishan for eighteen years, only to end up poisoned with eighteen different toxins.

By the time he finds out, the poison has gone too deep. He has only a hundred days left to live.

He binds himself to a life-extending System: [Want to live longer? Make Gu Feishan happy.]

But Gu Feishan has gone mad. He presses the tip of his sword against Zhong Wanuo's heart, tormenting and humiliating him.

It turns out Gu Feishan has been reborn. His mind is consumed by revenge, and he has only one goal: make his master wish he were dead!

So Gu Feishan's happiness comes from watching Zhong Wanuo suffer.

The System tells Zhong Wanuo, [Gu Feishan's happiness +10, Host's life force +10.]

As the rotten stench coming from his body grows stronger and a patch of flesh begins to decay, Zhong Wanuo finally breathes a sigh of relief: he can stay alive.

[He thinks they have a future together. In reality, Gu Feishan is waiting for him to rot away, day by day.]

A revered immortal lord, rich and powerful, has nevertheless fallen for the dying Zhong Wanuo. What will become of them?

Later, Gu Feishan finally realizes that his master has become someone else. The one person who wanted to love him was the one he personally destroyed.

Overcome with regret, Gu Feishan searches the entire cultivation world, only to learn that Zhong Wanuo is dead.
