My Master Surely Doesn't Have a Secret Crush on Me, Right?

Lan Yan, a venomous beauty who can only be admired from afar.

By accident, he transmigrates into the script of a male-oriented revenge story and becomes the male lead Shen Yanhe's master.

He's a vicious antagonist, the kind who beats and berates the male lead, then gets hacked to pieces by him in the end.

There's also a System that orders him to follow the plot and keep the male lead alive.

If he disobeys, it strikes him with heavenly lightning.

So Lan Yan protects the male lead while donning one secret identity after another, thinking:

Seriously, I just need to find a chance to kill the male lead already.

-

Shen Yanhe is a pitiful young master whose family was wiped out. By a twist of fate, he becomes Lan Yan's disciple.

Lan Yan beats and scolds him without mercy.

Shen Yanhe swears that once he grows up, he'll betray his master and destroy his sect.

But just then,

a lot of good people suddenly appear around him.

There's a junior sister who secretly brings him medicine, a gentle and considerate mute girl, and a swordsmith who risks his life to protect him.

But he discovers that all these people are actually the same person.

And that person is his master in disguise.

Shen Yanhe pretends not to have noticed, while secretly wondering:

I don't get it. My master couldn't possibly have a crush on me, could he?

-

But Lan Yan gradually realizes that Shen Yanhe's gaze is strange.

He blushes, avoids his eyes, and looks a little smug with himself.

Like a puppy.

Lan Yan can't bring himself to hurt him.

-

Years later, Shen Yanhe wraps an arm around his master's slender waist.

Where his master can't see, half his face takes on a sinister, crafty expression:

I knew you'd fall for this.

A heartless master shou x a stray-dog disciple gong pretending to be an innocent puppy

Shou-centric, 1v1, younger gong, happy ending

1. The shou has a nasty personality, but he's very strong and the sect's brightest hope.

2. To reiterate: the shou isn't a good person. Love gets in the way of his life in the martial world.

3. But the gong is a hopeless romantic.
