The only blemish on Xu Qingshu, the prophesied savior, was his universally known good-for-nothing junior disciple
Meng Suozhou.
He was the person Xu Qingshu envied most in the world.
*
From the moment he was born, Xu Qingshu was prophesied to be the savior who would rescue the continent from disaster.
The title of savior was a double-edged sword.
He was famous far and wide. Everyone had heard his name, to one degree or another. With the whole world pinning its hopes on him, Xu Qingshu grew arrogant, respecting only strength and paying attention only to the strong.
To shoulder such an immense responsibility, he cultivated day and night. No one knew how much he had suffered or how many assassination attempts he had survived, or how many scars covered his body.
Until the revered master he admired told him, in front of countless cultivators, that the good-for-nothing Meng Suozhou was the true savior.
And he was nothing but a fake, a miserable decoy dragged out to take the arrows.
So Xu Qingshu decided to kill Meng Suozhou.
*
Later, as he watched Meng Suozhou rack up one victory after another and display astonishing strength, Xu Qingshu couldn’t help remembering how the other man used to tremble and beg him for help whenever danger struck.
He realized that he could never kill Meng Suozhou now.
*
But Meng Suozhou handed him the opportunity himself
He lay affectionately across Xu Qingshu’s lap, so close that they could feel each other’s body heat.
“Senior Brother, whatever you want to do to me, I’ll gladly accept.”
A heaven-favored prodigy falls from his pedestal × a good-for-nothing rises to the top
Cool and aloof × obsessive
Reader’s note:
1. The characters’ values are not the author’s. No fan wars, and don’t project this onto real life.
2. The synopsis was screenshotted on March 23, 2026. Please don’t plagiarize or make baseless accusations of plagiarism.
3. Plot-driven. The protagonists won’t break up or switch roles.
It’s a long novel and a new experiment for me. Hope you enjoy reading.
