At Last, My Master Has Fallen into Demonic Ways

[The Apprentice Who Gets Himself Into Trouble × The Master Who Falls into Demonic Cultivation for Love] [Mutual Firsts, Older Master Top, Love and Hate, Forced Love, Regret and Redemption]

As the senior disciple of Shangqing Immortal Palace and the palace master's sole personal disciple, Su Muling has a secret no one knows: he is the incarnation of the Heavenly Dao. He has infiltrated the life of the palace master, Chen Yu'an, for the sole purpose of tempting him into demonic cultivation and thereby resolving the Supreme Calamity.

With peerless looks and thoughtful, tender care, he lures his cold and aloof master, who sealed off his heart long ago, down from his divine pedestal and into a lovesick frenzy. Yet he turns around and acts ambiguously with the newly recruited junior sister, leaving his master to suffer day and night, his Dao heart teetering on the brink. Chen Yu'an longs to lock him in his arms and never let him out to flirt with anyone again!

Su Muling knows the time has come. Chen Yu'an loves him beyond reason, so he fakes his own death and slips away, finally driving the high and mighty immortal to heartbreak. One false step, and he falls into demonic cultivation.

The Infinite Immortal Calamity is finally underway. Once the world stands on the verge of destruction, Su Muling, as the Heavenly Dao of this realm, can descend to save the world and its people, and advance one more step!

But... why isn't the story going according to plan?

Chen Yu'an was alone and miserable as a child. In his youth, a close friend betrayed him, and after entering the immortal sect, he faced nothing but cold looks. Seeing through worldly affairs, he devoted himself entirely to cultivation.

He thought he would never feel the slightest affection for anyone again in this life, until he brought home a little disciple.

His little disciple honored and respected his master, protecting him like a mother hen guarding her chick. Each time the boy stood up for him, each time he showed him a little more favor, Chen Yu'an's heart softened a little further.

A hundred years passed in each other's company. His disciple grew up, becoming more beautiful than an immortal. Chen Yu'an suddenly realized he had developed an attachment he should never have had: he wanted to imprison Su Muling and spend every night making love to him. He wanted to hear his disciple writhing beneath him, moaning without end.

He wanted that fluffy head to rest only on his lap, and that gentle face to smile only at him from then on.

One day, his wish came true. From then on, his madness only grew.

Chen Yu'an never imagined Su Muling would dare leave his bed and immediately flirt with someone else, and a woman at that! It was as if he were the only one who had gone mad from beginning to end, while Su Muling was perfectly normal!

Such disobedience! Chen Yu'an steeled himself, spent three days in seclusion crafting a spirit-locking chain specifically for his beloved disciple, and prepared to imprison Su Muling at once!

But when he emerged from seclusion, he learned that Su Muling had died for that woman, confessing before his death that she was the only person he had ever loved, and that he had no regrets even in death.

Chen Yu'an went mad, utterly mad. His Dao heart shattered, and he fell into demonic cultivation. His every thought was consumed by bringing his beloved disciple back to life, then locking this treacherous disciple away and punishing him mercilessly day and night!

Su Muling, the cold and heartless Heavenly Dao, toyed with all living beings in the palm of his hand. He thought his plan was flawless, never imagining that he would be the one to fall into the trap.

Chen Yu'an fell into demonic cultivation, but did not wreak havoc upon the world. He devoted himself entirely to pursuing Su Muling. Whenever he managed to catch him, he made sure to teach him what a master's authority meant!

At last came the price for having two boats at once: one day, both boats capsized, leaving him soaked through and drowning in this endless tangle of love and hate!
