A stern, rule-abiding master with a rebellious streak hidden beneath the surface x a seemingly well-behaved but twisted, obsessive reborn disciple
Wei Yiqing, a revered master of the Qingchuan Immortal Sect, is admired by thousands and cherished by tens of thousands. No one would ever guess that he is a major villain.
Of course, he never expected anyone to see through him, either.
In the original novel, he did every wicked thing imaginable. Unable to win the protagonist's love, he repeatedly tried to lock him away and keep him confined, but never succeeded. His love turned to hatred, and he fell to demonic cultivation. Hated by all, he was ultimately stabbed through the heart by the protagonist, his body and soul destroyed.
He learned about this so-called ending after being gravely wounded in a battle against the demons, when something calling itself the Villain Redemption System suddenly appeared in his mind.
Only then did he learn that he was the novel's villain, destined to be killed by his nephew-disciple, the protagonist.
The Villain Redemption System advised him: You are going to die horribly.
Wei Yiqing: So what?
System: Villain, stay away from the original protagonist, or you'll end up unhappy.
Wei Yiqing: Actually, that gives me a few ideas.
The System immediately sensed something was wrong. Sure enough, at the disciple selection ceremony, Wei Yiqing, who never attended and never took on disciples, had a clear target. He snatched the protagonist away from his junior brother.
The System shrieked, saying he was about to repeat the same mistakes, that a villain who fell for the protagonist would meet a miserable end, and so on.
Wei Yiqing smacked the thing away with the back of his hand, looking impatient.
