Qin Sidu spent his life cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness, rejecting all love and emotion and putting all living beings first, just as his master taught him.
To seal an evil divine artifact, he gave his life for the Dao. He died before he could say goodbye to his master, his disciple, or his junior brother, but perhaps it didn't matter that much.
His master had taught him to reject emotion and desire, so he wouldn't grieve over the death of a disciple.
His disciple strayed from the right path, and Qin Sidu cast him out of the sect.
His junior brother had long since said he would never wait for him to return to the sect again.
It would have been fine if everything had ended there. Qin Sidu never expected to come back to life three hundred years later in a new body, only to discover that he was in a novel world full of love rivalries over a beloved heartthrob.
His newly accepted disciple was the beloved protagonist, while his former master, disciple, and junior brother were all among the protagonist's love interests.
Qin Sidu watched quietly as these old acquaintances fought over the protagonist, never realizing that each one was more unhinged than the last.
His junior brother reversed time and murmured, “If I go back, he'll return to the sect.”
Qin Sidu went to find his master, hoping to get him to deal with this lunatic disciple. Instead, he saw someone beside the master who practiced the Path of Ruthlessness. The person looked exactly like Qin Sidu, yet was doing all sorts of seductive things, surrounded by black qi that seemed to have no physical form.
Was this his master's inner demon? Qin Sidu stepped back in disbelief, but his former disciple found him, eyes red, and demanded, word by word, “Master, if he can do it, why can't I?”
“Insolence!” Qin Sidu broke free of his restraints and turned around, only to see the disciple he had taken in during this life standing in the distance, waiting for him.
Qin Sidu breathed a sigh of relief and walked toward Xie Musheng.
Xie Musheng's eyes were red. “Master, I couldn't find you. I was so scared.” He wrapped his arms tightly around Qin Sidu.
Qin Sidu patted Xie Musheng on the shoulder helplessly. “It's all right now.”
“Master, can we stay together forever?” Xie Musheng asked plaintively, as if he had been terribly frightened.
Qin Sidu could only placate him for now. “Mm.”
Holding Qin Sidu, Xie Musheng looked at the three people behind him, the corners of his mouth lifting as his gaze turned dangerous and smug.
The three people behind Qin Sidu were wreathed in black qi.
Note:
1. The beloved heartthrob is the aloof master, Qin Sidu.
2. An aloof, abstinent master on the receiving end * A younger disciple who is a sweet-talking, scheming actor with a seemingly innocent exterior, and a beautiful dominant partner.
Please add my upcoming story, The Aloof Master Becomes a Seductive Master, to your reading list!
Synopsis: [A cool, brilliant, poker-faced, flirtatious robot-like beauty of a master with a soft heart on the receiving end VS A clingy, possessive, jealous, lovesick disciple who pretends to be pitiful on the dominant end]
Pei Jiu Tang transmigrates into a novel about a beloved heartthrob, becoming the aloof master of He Yan'an, the protagonist adored by everyone.
He diligently plays the role of an aloof master, giving his beloved disciple the cold shoulder, drawing his sword to fight his sworn enemy, the Demon Lord, barely speaking to his own master, and not speaking at all to his senior brother.
System: Great job, Host! You've perfectly played a righteous and aloof master. Now let's figure out how to cuckold the beloved protagonist! Cuckolding is justice! Cuckolding is the light! Once you've done it, you can fake your death and gain your freedom!
Pei Jiu Tang: How do I cuckold him?
System: Improvise! As long as you're happy, Host!
Pei Jiu Tang: Easy.
That very night, he found his sworn enemy, the Demon Lord, and asked, “Let's make a deal. I'll become the Demon Lord, and you become He Yan'an's master. How about it?”
The Demon Lord, one of He Yan'an's many admirers, agreed.
Pei Jiu Tang became a wicked and depraved Demon Lord.
By the next day, the whole world knew Pei Jiu Tang had gone mad. He had gone from being the righteous and aloof paragon of the orthodox path to a demon, abandoning everything: his sect, his master, his senior brother, and his disciple.
Later, everyone learned that Pei Jiu Tang had only abandoned one person: his disciple, He Yan'an.
Pei Jiu Tang still had ties to everyone in his sect, and rumors about him and his former senior brother and master had kept circulating for years. There was even a passionate love story between him and the former Demon Lord.
One day, while Pei Jiu Tang was doing his usual poker-faced flirting to fuel another rumor, he ran into his former disciple, He Yan'an.
The moment He Yan'an saw him, his eyes reddened. His hands hung awkwardly at his sides, and he looked helpless and lost.
“Master, don't you want me anymore?”
Pei Jiu Tang said nothing, but his heart softened.
He allowed He Yan'an to visit him in the demon realm. He secretly guided He Yan'an in martial arts, and He Yan'an continued to respect and adore him.
“You don't have to come anymore. I have nothing left to teach you.”
After all these years, Pei Jiu Tang had earned enough Cuckold Points to leave.
He Yan'an: “Once your master, always your master.”
Pei Jiu Tang: “I am not your master. Don't come back. The orthodox and demonic paths cannot coexist. From now on, if I see you, I'll kill you.”
He Yan'an clenched his fists in secret.
The next day, just as Pei Jiu Tang was about to be taken away by the System, the world fell into chaos. The Demon King wreaked havoc and destroyed both the orthodox and demonic paths.
The world descended into chaos. Pei Jiu Tang passed out in battle, and when he opened his eyes again, he was in a sealed room. The Demon King, He Yan'an, had red eyes as he smiled and asked,
“Master, are you going to abandon me again?”
Pei Jiu Tang found that the System had crashed. It had gone off for repairs because the world had collapsed.
He couldn't leave.
The best thing to do now would be to beg for mercy, but Pei Jiu Tang simply shot back, coolly asking five words:
“Did I ever want you?”
He Yan'an caressed Pei Jiu Tang's cool, handsome cheek.
“Master, then who do you want? I have marriage proposals here for you from the former Demon Lord, your grandmaster, and your martial uncle. Who will you choose, Master?”
Pei Jiu Tang: “Let me out. I'll choose for myself.”
He Yan'an: “Better not. I'll choose for you, Master. Let's get married right now, all right?”
Theme: Study hard and defy fate.
When will junior brother recognize it? He is so unsmart.
Before I entered V, I just followed the rules. Madam, I like this type of writing very much. It's been a long time since I found a truly cold and spiritual novel. I feel that Madam's writing style is OK, but it's so shallow. Is there any babe who can give me a kick after I enter V? I want to support you. I feel like the novels I like recently are all very shallow [crying] [crying]

Why did Xiao Qin say he wanted to be Immortal Master's apprentice in the first place? Then I don't want to think about it anymore [holding my chin] Why why?
