   I've finished reading it, and I think it's great. I highly recommend it. This story is about a master who accompanies his disciple throughout, somewhat like a nurturing relationship. The master raises the disciple from a young age, being very strict and fierce, with a touch of mischievousness [making a face]. But the disciple is incredibly doting, indulging the master's every whim. The master is very mean when he beats the disciple, a real villain (the disciple himself confirms this [cool]). But after each beating, the master will apply medicine to the disciple's wounds (even though applying medicine means another beating [sad face]). But the disciple enjoys it immensely (super enjoyable~ [shy face]). For the disciple, everything the master does is a sign that he cares and won't abandon him. The disciple is extremely insecure and needs the pain inflicted by the master to prove that the master won't abandon him. Several times, the disciple simply calls out "Master," without saying anything else, but the master always responds without impatience; on the contrary, these scenes are very heartwarming. The master always treats his disciple like a child, although he was indeed a child at first~ [smirk] The disciple's identity will probably be revealed around chapter 10, while the master's identity seems to be revealed in chapter 109 (but the exact age isn't mentioned, just a general outline). There are two couples in this book (I think so, I'm sure I didn't miss anything, and both couples are male). Oh, and there are a few chapters where the disciple is dressed as a girl~ and even does a hip-twisting dance~ and he's dancing with a little boy who's also dressed as a girl~ And the disciple likes role-playing, teasing another little boy dressed as a girl while wearing women's clothing is so cute!

This book has a relatively low rating, but that doesn't mean it's bad. It's just that it's only suitable for a certain group of readers and may contain some dog training or dark scenes. Those who can accept it can enjoy it, and those who can't are fine too, just don't hurt them~ [kiss] * (Super important!!!) 5. This book is actually written by the author for himself. It contains many of the author's own reflections, which are mentioned in several chapters, but the amount of space is not large, and it doesn't stray from the topic. It's integrated into the plot, and it feels a bit like inspirational chicken soup, hahaha [laughing] In short, highly recommended! Go! Read!

Xiao Yan's expression softened. Xie Heng wasn't buying it anymore: "You had your fun when you were playing, why are you acting all cute with me now?" "Position." Xie Heng's tone was deep. Xiao Yan was rebuffed, seeing his master's angry eyes, he knew he was really angry, so he didn't dare to provoke him further, and slowly turned around and stood back up. The vine was sharp, falling on the wound that hadn't fully healed, the lingering pain was stirred up, layered with new sharpness, like boiling oil cutting through his back. It was already hard to endure being re-cooked, and standing bent over, there wasn't even anywhere to lean on, let alone kick his legs, arch his back, or tense his back. Xie Heng didn't hold back much, Xiao Yan gritted his teeth, but the cry of pain couldn't be suppressed, it still escaped between his teeth. After five blows, he knelt down with a thud. His knees hit the ground, and behind him was an indescribable feeling of being cut and burned. "Ugh..." Xiao Yan gasped for breath, his forehead covered in cold sweat. When he looked up, his eyes were filled with sorrow. "Master..." Xie Heng hadn't even mentioned how much he would be punished for such a severe blow. "Get up." The rattan cane hung at his side, and Xie Heng looked down at him with calm and unwavering eyes.

   Well, it's the kind of story where the reason for each punishment is different. I started reading the first one around chapter 100, and I've already followed it up to about the extra chapters. The author's writing is superb, it's really good [awkward laugh] (in my opinion). The second book is also by the same author, but it was written earlier than the first. I read the first one first, and then slowly found the second one through the author's homepage. Although they were written at different times, there's not much connection between them (again, in my opinion [thinking]), and the content is similar. Finally (my suggestion to all you readers): Read the first book, "Crimson Curtain and Brilliant Shadows," first, then read "The Master Leads You In, You Get Beaten Up On Your Own" [laughs] because the timelines are different; the first book is a story about the master's generation in the second. Lastly: I wish all you readers can find the right genre [kissing emojis][kissing emojis][kissing emojis]
