Becoming the Protagonist's Ailing Dao Companion

“Launching October 1! Thank you, my dear readers!”

Yun Juan was the most cherished youngest son of the Wuhui Sect in the Upper Realm. Frail and sickly from birth, he had been pampered in a greenhouse.

One day, Yun Juan had a nightmare. In his dream, the world of cultivation he lived in was actually inside a book.

The book’s protagonist had his core destroyed and suffered abuse from childhood. Even after becoming the most powerful cultivator, his hatred of the world drove him to slaughter everyone.

The Wuhui Sect had once refused to take him as a disciple, and for that alone, everyone in the sect was tortured to death.

After waking, Yun Juan fell ill and never got out of bed. He spent his days terrified, until at last he made a decision.

He secretly formed a clone and sent it to the lower realm. There, he found the protagonist: skin and bones, sleeping in a cowshed. Just as Yun Juan steeled himself to take action, his frail body gave out and he fainted.

When he woke again, the already impoverished boy had brewed him a bowl of medicine and held it out. “Drink this.”

Yun Juan’s eyes welled up. “Oh, there’s hope!”

Yun Juan decided to reform the protagonist!

Even though he couldn’t lift or carry anything, burned every meal to a crisp, and only made a bigger mess whenever he tried to clean.

But the protagonist didn’t mind. Instead, he did his best to take care of him.

Yun Juan accompanied him from the lower realm to the middle realm, watching him go from a good-for-nothing with a destroyed core who everyone could bully to a young cultivator adored and admired by all.

Yun Juan was very pleased.

But one day, he had another dream and discovered that the protagonist wasn’t Mo Wuan at all!

Yun Juan: (T▽T)

When Heaven picked on him, he could only slink away.

His clone was already terribly weak. He wanted to come clean to Mo Wuan, but the other man was trapped in a desperate situation. All Yun Juan could do was take a blade for him and hurriedly leave him with one last sentence:

“Live for yourself.”

Yun Juan hurried off to find the real protagonist. After meeting the boy and hearing him thump his chest as he swore to help the whole world, Yun Juan returned to the Upper Realm with an easy mind.

Who would have thought the Upper Realm would be turned upside down?

The new Demon Venerable, Mo Wuan, had stormed into the cultivation world. They were powerless to resist and were negotiating peace!

Yun Juan’s vision went black.

On the day of the peace talks, immortals gathered from across the land.

Yun Juan made his first appearance as the Wuhui Sect’s representative, and every sect fell silent.

Seated high above them was the Demon Venerable, who had slaughtered anyone in his path with merciless brutality. For the first time, he lost his composure.

His eyes were bloodshot, his veins bulged, and an overwhelming force pinned him in place, trapping him as if within an invisible cage.

His voice was low, wrapped in the madness and obsession of years of unfulfilled longing:

“...My wife.”

Frailty and innocence in the bottom x sinister, possessive top

Faked death / size difference / skin-tone difference

Reader’s notes:

1. When they first meet at the beginning, the top gives the bottom medicine that is actually poison. But because he is a clone, the little darling only feels weaker and doesn’t realize what happened.

(Because of the top’s personality, I really can’t change this part.) Afterward, the top pampers him constantly, and every day wishes he could beat up his past self. (Still, this may be a dealbreaker, so please keep it in mind, dear readers! Sorry for the trouble!)

2. The little darling is extremely frail. The top takes care of him; he is not a strong bottom!

3. The bottom is beautiful and adorable, with a many-admirers trait. The top is handsome.
