After Humiliating My Aloof Master

[The writing progress will be announced here or on Weibo] [Current progress: outlining and Chapter One complete]

Wen Shuangbai is the Tai'e Perfected Lord, a mighty figure who commands the cultivation world. Wielding the divine artifact Wugou, he has never met his match among the immortal sects.

The only stain on his life is his disciple, Yan Li.

After Yan Li's half-demon nature was exposed, he betrayed his sect, fell into the Nether Capital, and took control of the demons. He became the dreaded Lord of Ten Thousand Demons and slaughtered every immortal sect.

He imprisoned Wen Shuangbai in the Goddess Hall of the Nether Capital, forced him through a wedding ceremony, and named him his demon consort. Night after night, he ravaged and humiliated him in every way.

Until one day, Wen Shuangbai found an opportunity and killed Yan Li with his own hands.

Three years later, a five-year-old child arrived at Cangxi Sect.

The elders said the child's features looked too much like Yan Li's and refused to take him in.

Only Wen Shuangbai gazed down at him for a long while before saying calmly, "He's only a child. Even uncut jade can be shaped."

*

Wen Shuangbai had thought he was merely taking in a child who resembled someone from his past.

Until one night, he had an absurd dream: Yan Li was sprawled over him, panting heavily, his breath scorching hot, his cold serpent's tail wrapped tightly around Wen Shuangbai's waist as he demanded more without restraint.

Wen Shuangbai jolted awake, only to find a thick, long snake tail truly wrapped around his waist.

Beside the bed, the young, harmless child had somehow shed his disguise. He was tall and lean now, his features shadowed with malice.

Yan Li dragged him into his arms and leaned close to his ear, his voice low and chilling. "Where do you think you're running, Shizun?"

*

Those afflicted by the Heartbinding Gu become emotionally bound to its master, and the bond is nearly impossible to break before death.

Yan Li had hated Wen Shuangbai for many years, and loved him for just as long. But he had always believed this love was nothing more than the Heartbinding Gu at work.

So the more he loved Wen Shuangbai, the more he hated him.

Only later did he learn the truth.

From beginning to end, the hatred was false, but the love was real.
