When a Hopeless Romantic Is Forced to Save the World

An obsessive, lovesick puppy x a deadpan, sarcastic master

Younger disciple and older master romance

After staying up all night and dying suddenly, Shi Liufeng transmigrates into a recently finished novel with a terrible ending, as an NPC who has no more than five lines. He nearly spits out a mouthful of blood three yards into the air.

The ending of this novel is the destruction of the world, with everyone going down together! What kind of joke is this?!

But what's done is done. Shi Liufeng has no choice but to force himself... no, force the original protagonist, who survives right up to the end, to save the world.

The protagonist is named Wu Jiao, and he's remarkably gifted. After Shi Liufeng takes him as his personal disciple, he reaches Foundation Establishment in one year, forms his Golden Core in three, and reaches the God Transformation stage in just five, becoming a prodigy without equal in the cultivation world.

At this rate, it looks like becoming the world's savior is just around the corner.

But just as Shi Liufeng is feeling thoroughly pleased, he learns that in order to save the world, the protagonist must master both spiritual and demonic energy. Only then will there be hope of winning a chance at survival for all living beings.

In other words, he has to send Wu Jiao to the Demon Realm, a place said to be piled with corpses and soaked in blood, and force him to willingly cultivate demonic arts.

Shi Liufeng looks at his disciple's clear, bright eyes and falls silent.

-

The Boundless Sea, which connects the realms of immortals and demons, has opened.

Countless fiends and evil spirits crawl out of it, clamoring to take revenge on the mortal world, settle old scores, and claim lives.

The Spirit-Welcoming Sect, first among the immortal sects, bears the brunt of the attack.

Legend says the battle turned day into night and threw the sun and moon into disarray, with blood flowing down the mountain steps for three days and three nights.

Both sides meet a bitter end.

The remaining members of the demon clan are sealed once more beneath the Boundless Sea.

As the price, the world's greatest expert, Xuehui Sword Venerable Shi Liufeng, and his beloved disciple both die.

The entire cultivation world is left in shock, engulfed in grief.

-

Years later, a shocking piece of news spreads through the cultivation world:

Shi Liufeng didn't actually die back then, and he has also formed an alliance by marriage with the Furong Sect. His wedding is just days away.

Now that's something!

On the wedding day, carriages fill the streets, and everyone whose name is known or unknown shows up.

Gongs and drums thunder, cranes cry in unison, and the onlookers crowd together in layer upon layer.

Just as everyone stares at Shi Liufeng, dressed in a bright red wedding robe, as if they've seen a ghost, the groom, as white as jade, is carried off in front of everyone by a figure who appears out of nowhere.

Everyone: ...?

Has kidnapping the groom become so unusual that someone could abduct the wrong person?

And... doesn't that unexpected visitor look familiar?

Wu Jiao, whom his master once kicked into the Boundless Sea, forcibly breaks out of the Demon Realm. Face covered in scars and reeking of blood, he takes Shi Liufeng, dressed in a brilliant red wedding robe, back to his own bedchamber. He pins him against the wall, wedges his knee between Shi Liufeng's legs, and buries his face against his neck, his voice hoarse as he says:

"Master, I'm even stronger than I was back then. From now on, look only at me, okay?"

-

After their reunion, Shi Liufeng notices that Wu Jiao's gaze is growing more and more strange, and that he acts clingy and mushy around him. Only then does Shi Liufeng finally understand what's going on.

Shi Liufeng: ...

He smacks Wu Jiao on the head, exasperated.

After everything you've suffered to get here, kid, can't we save the world first?!

But Wu Jiao lowers his eyes, looking eagerly at the hand that just struck him, and asks softly, "Master, could you hit me again like you just did?"

Shi Liufeng: …
