Chu Qingshuang transmigrated into a book.
In his previous life, he stayed up all night reading a revenge story about someone who'd been reborn. When he opened his eyes again, he'd become the target of the male lead's revenge.
The tricky part was that, facing the handsome young man who was gentle and considerate and called him Master, he had no idea whether he'd transmigrated into the story before the male lead was reborn or after.
Fortunately, Chu Qingshuang was an avid reader of fiction and knew every trope in a master-disciple story. After panicking for just three seconds, he calmed down and cheered himself on: All he had to do was rewrite the plot where he died tragically and keep his disciple happy! Getting a chance to cultivate immortality as a Sword Venerable was unbelievably cool. I can do this!!!
Thanks to his tireless efforts, he and his disciple got along splendidly and grew closer. Chu Qingshuang was delighted with his new life in this new world, and even began to suspect his disciple had fallen in love with him.
Unfortunately, happy times didn't last. Xie Jihan turned demonic overnight, betrayed his sect, took control of the Demon Realm, then returned in the blink of an eye and held the black blade his master had personally given him to Chu Qingshuang's throat.
Chu Qingshuang: "..."
He backed into a corner, looking at his villainous disciple, who'd gone dark ages ago, and burst into tears under the force of Xie Jihan's murderous aura.
Xie Jihan was reborn.
In his previous life, he died at the hands of his proud, aloof master, who shattered his heart meridians with a sword through his chest.
The ridiculous thing was that only as he lay dying did he understand that his master, whom he'd revered as a god, had long known he possessed the body of an immortal and the womb of a demon. The only reason his master had taken him as his sole disciple was to ensure he could eliminate him without fail while his will was at its weakest, before his demonic blood awakened.
Reborn, Xie Jihan gazed at that face like an immortal's, recalled the past, and parted his thin lips to speak in a chilling voice: "Very good. Excellent."
From then on, he severed their bond and buried his attachments. One day, he would corner the person he had once cherished and revered, and lift Chu Qingshuang's chin with the back of his knife.
"Master, you were so determined to kill me. How dare you cry?"
Yet the Sword Venerable himself showed no fear of imminent death. Not only did he kick Xie Jihan hard, he also went berserk, cursing him furiously: "You bastard! Xie Jihan, you're a traitorous, ungrateful bastard who defies his master and betrays his benefactor!!!"
Reader's Guide:
1. The top is reborn; the recipient transmigrates into a book.
2. A sugary romance with plenty of melodrama, one-on-one pairing~
* The top is cold and calculating, but a total romantic once he falls in love. (Meaning he's genuinely cold, but turns into a devoted puppy the moment he falls for someone.)
* The recipient is a green-tea-type fake crybaby. (Meaning he's innocent and easily brought to tears, but has maximum combat ability and can really fight.)
P.S. The top and his original master have no romantic feelings for each other, only a master-disciple relationship. The "attachment" in the blurb refers to his efforts to suppress his demonic nature and be a beacon of righteousness, because he didn't want his original master to regret raising him or be disappointed in him.
