Snow-lotus seme (with bonus traits that include domineering, wickedly charming, scheming, and bewitching, all of which show without him realizing it)
Otaku uke (with bonus traits that include snark, a poker face, a broken brain, and being a total idiot, all of which are secretly apparent without him realizing it)
This story is melodramatic, with a master-disciple relationship, a scum seme getting tortured (you can tell from the title. If the seme had a harem, the uke would refuse, and so would the author), and yuri elements.
(The author actually really wants to write father and son = =)
Uke-focused (sorry).
There's one chapter that's temporarily blank because... the author got the urge to write it, but doesn't dare post it. Anyway, the author doesn't mind, the uke doesn't really mind, and the seme can't remember it, so it's not going up for now.
If there are parts you don't understand, please tell me, or let me know if you think the plot is forced or anything. Some parts are foreshadowing, though.
This story is also titled: If You Don't Show Your Power During Tribulation, You'll Think I'm Just a Golden Core
