How to Raise a Savior

★Rather than raise you, I'd rather you destroy me.

Everyone has a destiny of their own.

On the first day An Qi transmigrated into a book, he learned that his destiny was to raise this world's savior.

It was actually quite simple.

All he had to do was follow the System's instructions: first, bring the male lead, abandoned by his family, home.

Then he had to be harsh with him, ignore him, treat him like a dog, take him hunting again and again, and let the hunters shoot him over and over.

Once the boy was covered in blood, his skin torn and rotting, An Qi would take him home, stop the bleeding, and change his bandages.

When those wounds were nearly healed, all he had to do was take a knife, reopen every old wound, and finally throw the boy out of the house.

"Yeah. The day he returns here, famous and successful, and kills me, will be the day I complete my mission. Thanks to my training, he'll become a flawless detective, an invincible savior."

An Qi kept rehearsing and carrying out this training plan, doing his best to disguise himself as a coldhearted keeper.

At last, the long-awaited day arrived.

He was finally going to see his very own masterpiece!

Come to think of it, ever since he threw the savior out... they hadn't seen each other in a long time.

An Qi cooked a huge pot of food, just like when they used to live together.

He hoped the savior would hurry along, because he thought he might be missing him a little.

But An Qi had forgotten something.

Even with the System's help, he still couldn't have the kind of extraordinary talent the little savior had in everything.

It seemed he'd messed up his own destiny...

An Qi: "I kept leading you into traps and leaving you in danger, turning you into a cold, arrogant genius who looked down on everyone. I did it so you'd transform through adversity, return to your noble family by blood, reclaim your place at the top of the tower, and become a dazzling savior. Not... not so you'd kneel at my door and ask if you could stay for dinner..."

Sheng Xiao: "None of that stops me from kneeling before you."

An Qi panicked a little. "I was harsh with you, ignored you, and betrayed you. In short... you should hate me, the way you hate them."

Sheng Xiao: "After all that, can I stay for dinner or not?"

Now An Qi was really panicking. "...No, you can't!"

Sheng Xiao couldn't understand why An Qi had taken him in.

If what An Qi kept saying was true, and he really had only raised him like a dog...

If that was really the case...

Then why did An Qi sneak under the covers and cry after changing his bandages?
