#The Price of a Straight Guy Being Kind to a Gay Guy
The web novel The Demonic Path tells the story of a domineering male lead who, after enduring a series of trials, ultimately falls into demonic cultivation, slaughters the immortal sects, and climbs to the very top.
The day Chu Hanyu transmigrates into the book as a disposable extra from an immortal sect, he decides to show the male lead some kindness before he grows up, so the bloodthirsty guy won't use him for experience points later.
He disguises himself as a wandering immortal and takes the still-in-the-tutorial-stage male lead as his disciple.
He teaches the other man to wield a sword and draw talismans. Life couldn't be better, until an accident gets him killed while protecting the male lead.
Then he transmigrates again, this time into another disposable extra from an immortal sect in the same book.
Damn! So all that favorability-building was for nothing!
To avoid being used for experience points by the male lead, Chu Hanyu decides to show the nearly grown man some kindness.
He disguises himself as a passerby hoping to join an immortal sect, becomes the male lead's close friend, and eats, sleeps, and bathes with him.
Before Chu Hanyu can lie flat, he dies in another accident.
When he opens his eyes again, he's once more transmigrated into yet another disposable extra from an immortal sect in the book.
Damn! So all that favorability-building was for nothing again?
To avoid being used for experience points by the male lead, Chu Hanyu decides to show the now-grown man some kindness.
He disguises himself as an ordinary villager and takes in the male lead, whose cultivation has been completely destroyed, caring for him attentively. They work from sunrise to sunset, living a cozy life together. But did the male lead always like to hold him like this when he slept?
Still, what good can come of getting involved with the male lead? He dies again.
Chu Hanyu transmigrates yet again, into... an Immortal Venerable of an immortal sect in the book?
Damn! He's going to die either way, so he's done being kind!
And so Chu Hanyu settles into a life of eating his fill and waiting to die. Half a year later, he hears that the male lead has taken up demonic cultivation and is coming to his doorstep to kill him.
Chu Hanyu immediately puts on his finest clothes and sits obediently, waiting to die.
But to his surprise, the first thing the male lead does when he sees him is call him out by name and demand that he come with him.
Wha... what does that mean?

All his life, Rong Aotian has heard a voice guiding him onto the righteous path.
When a demon nearly lures him into evil, his master appears, rescues him, and leads him onto the righteous path.
After his master's death, when he has lost all hope and is nearly controlled by his inner demon, his master appears disguised as a passerby and helps him overcome the trial, guiding him back to the righteous path.
Not long after, his inner demon destroys his cultivation. Just as he is about to start over using a forbidden technique, his master appears again, disguised as a villager...
He realizes that his master always appears whenever he starts to entertain evil thoughts.
So this time, in order to see his master again, he deliberately sets out on a path of no return.

The great demon Rong Aotian turns the Three Realms upside down just to take Chu Hanyu, the Immortal Venerable of the Piaomiao Sect, away.
Everyone assumes Chu Hanyu must have offended the Demon Lord.
No one expects to see a trembling hand gripping the edge of the bed in the Demon Palace, trying to climb out, only for another broad hand to cover it at once and draw close to him, cheek to cheek.
"Master, you possessed the body of the Piaomiao Sect's leader half a year ago. Why did you keep refusing to see your disciple? Is it because you resent me for taking the demonic path...?"
"Never mind. You're dressed so nicely today. You must have known your disciple was coming to find you, right?"
Chu Hanyu gasps for breath and rolls his eyes, thinking: If you say so...
1. Rong Aotian was named by his master~ Rong Aotian, Rong Aotian~ Long Aotian~
2. One-on-one romance, happy ending, both are each other's first
