Reborn: What Do I Do When My Master Always Wants to Destroy Me for the Greater Good?

As the young master of the Cangjian Manor, Ye Yan was so adorably clueless in his previous life that it was almost painful to watch. After being killed by his most trusted disciple, Li Gun, Ye Yan was reborn as a distant, inscrutable beauty. The mountains and rivers are the same as before. But Li Gun can't help feeling that something about his master, Ye Yan, is off. What could it be? Li Gun cuts down an arrow that came flying from who knows where with a single stroke of his sword: Heavens, why does Master keep wanting to sacrifice his disciple for the greater good? Some parts of the previous life may be a little angsty. Previous life: foolish, wealthy, abstinent bottom X turns from innocent to scheming top Current life: inscrutable, prickly, abstinent bottom X mentally unstable, shameless top More or less a historical AU, xianxia and demonic cultivation version of a Jian San fanfic. There are quite a few author-created details, so read with caution if that's not your thing.
