The Road Home

Luo Ke recently finished reading a cultivation novel, and it had a terrible ending.

Word has it the author forced the story to a conclusion by killing off the protagonist.

But what Luo Ke never expected was that he would transmigrate into the novel.

And the timeline was two hundred years after the protagonist's death.

Luo Ke: I wake up and, just like that... What a surprise.

In the eyes of everyone else in the Cangwu Sect, their senior or junior brother, or uncle-master, who had gone mad from cultivation, had turned back into the person he was two hundred years ago, before anything had happened. It seemed he had finally let go of his demons.

Under everyone's relieved gazes, Luo Ke was forced to play the part of the Immortal Venerable Weixi, Luo Ke.

He was also informed that during his previous madness, he had damaged various buildings and facilities around the sect, and was expected to pay for the repairs.

Luo Ke, saddled with debt against his will: "...Well, I'm here now, so I might as well."

The timeline had already advanced two hundred years, so it was only natural that many things no longer matched the book.

But he noticed that one person was acting very strangely. They weren't particularly close, yet that person was always by his side and would show up the moment he got into danger.

Luo Ke, the straight guy: "So, do you have a crush on my younger sister and want to get on your future brother-in-law's good side?"

The other person: "...No."

Luo Ke had planned to live a carefree life here. Aside from the stress of paying off his debt, which was making his hair fall out, things were going pretty well.

But later, he realized that perhaps the truth he had seen was the exact opposite of what had been concealed.

"I saw the light the moment I met you."

Gentle and refined master, bottom x taciturn disciple, top

Some worldbuilding is fictionalized, and there are other couples.

Reading Guide:

1. If you're okay with a master-disciple romance, there shouldn't be much to worry about. (Probably.)

2. The master is the original person. There's no stand-in plot, nor does the disciple fall in love with someone else inside the master's body. Read the story for details.

3. I'm a new author, still stumbling through the logic, prose, and pacing.

Theme: No matter how bad things get, hard work can make them better
