Bai Yefu was reborn and received something called the System, which told him that this was nothing more than a tragic BL novel with a bad ending. Not good, not bad: he was just a supporting male character.
He thought that, with his knowledge from his previous life, he could become the senior disciple of the Xuanyun Sect and avoid the plot where he was framed and turned into a cultivation vessel, as long as he stayed away from the heroine.
But then, he was suddenly attacked in a secret realm. When he woke up, corpses were scattered all around him. Someone had witnessed him killing them, and one of the people lying on the ground was the heroine, who was disguised as a man.
The scene was both familiar and strange. At some point, the book had become a BL novel, and he had even turned into a villain. Love between men wasn't much different from love between men and women. Revenge was still revenge.
He was doomed. The beloved master who had doted on him had gone missing on the way to the secret realm.
He hadn't died, but he might as well have been dead. The male lead put him in chains, sealed his cultivation, and beat and humiliated him. That wasn't enough: he also turned him into a cultivation vessel and tortured him day after day.
Then one day, the male lead brought back a filthy, low-ranking servant. The servant was covered in grime, but his eyes were as bright as the moon. They reminded Bai Yefu of the first time he had met his master, and once again he was captivated by those eyes.
"...Master? Y-you, why are you here?"
The servant tilted his head. "What is a master?"
Bai Yefu clung tightly to him. "I've finally found you, Master. You used to protect me. Now it's my turn to protect you."
But behind his back, a trace of amusement flickered across "Master's" blank expression.
Fake first love of the master x real tragic, beautiful cultivation vessel
Reader advisory:
1. Not a virgin couple. Enter with caution, caution, caution: major squick.
2. Older master and younger disciple.
3. One-on-one romance, mutual salvation.
4. The author's writing is immature, and they haven't yet mastered the plot.
Theme: Cast off the chill and live toward the sun
