The Universally Hated One Throws the Whole Sect into Chaos

Everyone in the sect knew how pathetically in love Qi Xiao was with Zhang Xingjian. No amount of cold treatment could drive him away.

That is, until Zhang Xingjian was struck by a poison curse.

Qi Xiao offered himself, and the two were entangled for three days and nights.

He thought this was his chance, but on the fourth day Zhang Xingjian humiliated him in public.

His eyes were full of disgust. "Destroy his cultivation and expel him from the mountain sect."

And just like that, Qi Xiao was branded as someone who had deliberately drugged Zhang Xingjian and climbed into his bed.

The deputy sect leader framed him on purpose, while the sect leader chose to sacrifice him for the greater good.

Qi Xiao stopped pursuing Zhang Xingjian and instead blackmailed the sect leader, Bian Ting, into becoming his Dao companion. He also managed to infuriate the deputy sect leader, who had been secretly in love with Bian Ting for years, until he spat blood.

Before long, Bian Ting's wedding filled the sky with rosy clouds that seemed to celebrate the occasion.

Zhang Xingjian watched the absurd wedding with cold eyes.

The entire sect was decked out in festive decorations, and everyone wore a hypocritical smile.

Even he found it ridiculous.

That little disciple used to be like a dog-skin plaster that wouldn't come off. No matter how often Zhang Xingjian drove him away, the other man would shamelessly stick right back to him.

He knew Qi Xiao didn't really love Bian Ting. This show of determination was just a way to retreat in order to advance.

All Qi Xiao wanted was to stay in the sect and find another way to keep clinging to his side.

That fool Bian Ting was nothing more than a stepping stone Qi Xiao used to remain in the sect.

He would wait as Qi Xiao and Bian Ting maintained their relationship in name only, until the day they divorced.

Qi Xiao admitted that at first he had indeed fallen for Zhang Xingjian, but that was because he had mistaken him for someone else.

Still, it didn't matter.

He had been planted in the immortal sect by his ghost cultivator master as a hidden agent from the start.

All he needed to do was get close to the sect's inner circle and complete the task his master had given him.

Since the path through Zhang Xingjian was blocked, he decisively changed course and got close to the sect leader, Bian Ting.

But the further things went, the less he understood what was going on.

How had Zhang Xingjian become his "lover"?

What did people mean when they said he was playing hard to get?

What did they mean when they said he was having a secret affair with Zhang Xingjian?

Of course, these were all just Zhang Xingjian's side of the story.

Zhang Xingjian yelled at him, demanding to know why he still hadn't divorced Bian Ting.

Qi Xiao: "Why would I get divorced?"

At that, Zhang Xingjian flew into a rage, held a knife to his own throat, and threatened, "If you don't divorce him, I'll die right in front of you!"

Qi Xiao: "..."

[In the early part, Baby Xiaoxiao seems hated by everyone. In the middle, everyone dotes on him. The love interest is the one who's truly hated by all.]
