[Younger, Obsessive Disciple Top × Flirtatious Beauty Master Bottom]
“I shattered my immortal bones for him and fell into the endless hell. A hundred years later, I returned, only to kneel before his door and call him Master.”
A hundred years ago, Lu Tangqiu, the most beautiful immortal in the Celestial Court and an immortal of the Poetry and Music Bureau, sacrificed himself to a sword to protect Shen Xizhou, his only disciple, taking the blame for a catastrophic crime. He was cast into the Ten Thousand Souls Cavern, his immortal bones shattered, and endured a century of pain that gnawed to the bone.
A hundred years later, he swallowed demonic energy, disguised himself, and returned, concealing his identity as he joined an immortal sect.
Fate toyed with him. During the new disciples' selection, he was brought straight before Shen Xizhou, now a cold and aloof immortal lord whose name struck fear across the land.
The innocent boy he had once cherished was now seated high upon the cloud platform, his gaze icy.
The noble master who had once protected him at all costs now knelt at the foot of the steps, lowly and nameless.
Shen Xizhou unexpectedly took him as a disciple and taught him, word by word, to call him “Master.”
Shen Xizhou: “Look up.”
Their eyes met, and his heart lurched. Why did those eyes look so much like the eyes of the person he had longed for day and night, the one who had supposedly been “dead” for a hundred years?
But he did not know that the respectful young man calling him “Master” was the very person he had waited a hundred years for, the one he had mourned with a broken heart.
“Master, you taught me all the principles of righteousness in this world, but you never taught me what to do when those principles point to you. How should I choose?”
“Then... let them point to me.”
The ultimate reversal of roles: the frail disciple who once needed his protection has become a strict master whom he must kneel before and look up to.
The ultimate emotional push and pull: “I want to reveal who I am, but I don't dare” × “I know it's you. I'm waiting for you to tell me the truth.”
A fresh, exciting premise: the master returns pretending to be a newbie.
Theme: I will cross this life with you. You will be my boat, and I will be your shore. From now on, every river, lake, and sea will lead us home.
