So This Is What You're Really Like, Master

[Please note: The story follows a fall-before-rise arc and includes angst. The tone is half lighthearted, half serious.] Blurb: Gu Ran, who was gaming deep into the night while cultivating, suddenly got a cramp and transmigrated into a book. In a challenging danmei cultivation novel full of scheming, fighting, and leggy beauties, how can a weak modern guy, cast as the ultimate cannon fodder, crush the protagonist shou and survive to the end? Answer: Obviously, cling to his master’s leg! But what’s with the number one person in the immortal world suddenly going out of character? There’s no demonic cultivation in the plot! Master, turn around and take a look. Turn back before it’s too late... Yeah, right. His master turned around and took him along to cultivate demons. His master seemed to have developed a split personality after becoming a demon: “This cultivation manual has acceptable poses. Read it carefully this afternoon, and I’ll personally test you tonight.” Gu Ran nodded excitedly. Wow, is this the legendary secret manual? He looked down and saw the title: "The Dual Cultivation Eighteen X Compendium". What on earth was this?! “After decades together, I never knew you could be like this, Master: The ×× Series” The blurb is a little unhinged, so please focus on the actual story. (Looks up at the sky.) Details 1. Half serious, half lighthearted. 2. Main pairing: a master gong with two sides and a seemingly gentle, secretly silly-cute disciple shou. 3. Please don’t let the story pile up unread. Hope you enjoy it! No ranking checks, and please keep discussion civil. 4. Anti-piracy settings: 72-hour delay, 80%.
