[The general setting will stay the same. I’ll add more details before the story begins.]
[Older master and younger disciple | Episodic stories, but all part of one whole | Same core character]
① [Immortal Sect] Aloof, cold master seme X cool, gloomy disciple uke
Hanyu is a lowly half-demon. No matter what he does, he can’t escape the label of criminal slave. His fellow disciples slander him, his elders ostracize him, and his very existence is a disgrace to the sect. Only his master treats him with genuine kindness.
His master gently strokes his head and tells him, “You are my disciple, and you always will be.”
His master is Hanyu’s only source of warmth. In his master’s eyes, he isn’t a monster, but his one and only disciple.
Until… Hanyu discovers that it was his master, Jihuai, who branded him as a half-demon all those years ago.
Unable to believe it, he demands, “Why?”
Jihuai remains perfectly calm and simply says, “Demons must be exterminated.”
Hanyu turns cold all over. So in his master’s eyes, he’s nothing but a demon after all.
In that case, he’ll do what a demon is supposed to do.
He refuses to believe the person on the throne is fair and just. He’ll ruin the reputations of everyone who passed judgment, including his master.
So he builds his master a cage with his own hands, making the forbidden relationship between master and disciple known throughout the world.
② [Demonic Sect] Eccentric Demon Lord seme X stubborn, kind-hearted undercover disciple uke
Hanyu is the Demon Lord’s first disciple, and he has a secret: he’s actually a spy sent by the righteous sects. Through a twist of fate, he became the Demon Lord’s disciple. For years, he diligently passed information to the immortal sects, only for them to lose the war…
His former fellow disciples are imprisoned in the demon palace, and he doesn’t dare take another step closer.
He’s even more afraid of seeing disappointment in his master’s eyes. Every day, Hanyu cautiously stays by his master’s side, terrified his identity will be exposed. Every word his master says sounds like a warning to him.
The Demon Lord has a secret too. He’s always known his little disciple was a spy for the immortal sects, but he doesn’t care.
He’s been waiting for the day his little disciple admits it. Then he can graciously forgive him and take his guilt-ridden disciple for himself. For this reason, he keeps dropping hints that he doesn’t mind.
So why is his disciple getting farther and farther away?
③ [Cute Pets] Ice-cold peacock master X sweet, clueless peacock-fish disciple
④ [Martial World] Sadistic, sinister master X disciple forced to live under another’s roof
Hanyu’s master lost a bet, and the stake was himself. Hanyu became his disciple at six and has been with him for ten years. Now, he has to call someone else his master.
At sixteen, Hanyu loses his home. From then on, he has to live under another’s roof, with no freedom.
The man is mercurial and hard to approach. Hanyu is very afraid of him.
Once, Hanyu combined the needle techniques of two schools to save someone. The person survived, but the man flew into a rage.
“You are my disciple. You can only use what I taught you.”
“You’re not my master.”
His master pins him down and grips his trembling hand. “What are you afraid of? You used to cling to me when you were little.”
⑤ [Path of Ruthlessness] Gentle master X Demon Lord disciple
Jihuai, a revered practitioner of the Path of Ruthlessness, receives a love letter from his disciple Hanyu. After much thought, Jihuai goes into seclusion.
The day he emerges, he hears that Hanyu has switched to demonic cultivation, and that the path he’s cultivating is the Path of Ruthlessness.
Jihuai, who has just shattered his own Path of Ruthlessness: “…”
He just gave up cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness, and now his disciple is cultivating it. What should he do? Help, answers needed urgently.
⑥ [Divine Realm] Aloof master seme X cool disciple uke
Hanyu is a frail, sickly white tiger. When he was young, his master forbade him to leave Mount Yu, all to protect him. Later, even after he came of age, his master still wouldn’t let him go out.
His life was so monotonous that one day, his master gave him a Clearheart Jade Glass Pearl and told him that cultivating it would allow him to leave.
Hanyu’s heart sinks into an icy abyss. The Clearheart Jade Glass Pearl clears the mind and spirit, cuts off emotion, and eliminates desire.
From then on, Hanyu feels neither sorrow nor joy, and has neither heart nor emotion.
He lives like a walking corpse.
If becoming an immortal means having no feelings or desires, he’d rather become a demon who never loses his seven emotions or six desires.
Older master and younger disciple, happy ending.
No controlling, dream-girl, or ship-breaking/switching content. I will not accept any comments arguing for breaking up the pairing for any reason.
