Song Yan, a 996 software engineer, worked himself to death pulling an all-nighter, then found himself inside an unmentionable novel from Huashi titled The Immortal Venerable's Wild Nights with His Many Admirers.
The original protagonist, the bottom, was the aloof immortal venerable Sui Qing. His breathtaking beauty made him the target of all kinds of scummy tops, who imprisoned him and subjected him to all manner of abuse. These men included, but were not limited to, his master, senior brothers, disciples, childhood friend, and nemesis...
After being cruelly abused again and again, Sui Qing was left broken in body and corrupted in mind. In the end, he slaughtered the entire cultivation world and fell completely into demonic ways.
Song Yan, meanwhile, had become the protagonist's uncle-master, Song Yanshu, a groveling, self-loathing top who only dared to secretly get it on with Sui Qing while wearing a mask.
As a law-abiding, sensible person, Song Yan repeatedly foiled the scummy tops' schemes after arriving in this world, secretly protecting Sui Qing.
Watching the little white flower Sui Qing grow up safe and sound, Song Yan thought he could retire with a clean conscience. Little did he know that one day, he would discover Sui Qing was the reborn, corrupted version of himself from another life, and was secretly investigating the masked pervert who had done things to him in his previous life.
Song Yan: ...Maybe I should hurry up and run...
But after he escaped, Sui Qing turned against his sect and hunted him down across the world like a madman.
When he was finally caught, Song Yan thought, I'm done for...
But Sui Qing lowered his eyes and stroked his belly, saying quietly, "Your child is right here, Uncle-Master. Are you going to abandon him, too?"
Song Yan: ???
I... When did I ever do something so monstrous???
From the bottom's perspective:
Sui Qing had been abandoned by everyone he trusted and loved. Reborn, all he wanted was to tear away their false faces and slaughter everything rotten in this world.
But there was one person who, during their few encounters, would always gently pat his head, his eyes filled with nothing but pity.
Sui Qing looked down on him. Just another scumbag, bewitched by his looks and wearing a mask to get close to him.
But in the end, he discovered that this one person truly had no impure thoughts about him. And what he never expected was that one day, he would give everything just to make that person look at him one more time.
A weary office drone, a little gloomy and laid-back, the light of the righteous path, top x a beautiful, aloof man, sweet on the outside but dark within, who wins himself over, bottom
