Chen Zhen finds himself inside a cultivation novel full of powerful figures. His role is to reform three longtime enemies and preserve peace in the cultivation world.
His targets are: a deranged, vicious villain; an Immortal Venerable who turned to darkness after being betrayed by the Immortal Realm; and a male supporting character who, unable to win the one he loves, lets love curdle into hatred and becomes a demon.
To avoid blowing his cover, Chen Zhen adopts three secret identities and maneuvers around the powerful figures.
To the villain, he is a loyal, devoted subordinate who hides his feelings and bears everything in silence.
To the Immortal Venerable, he is a gentle, virtuous, obedient, and lovable disciple.
To the male supporting character, he is a loyal friend who has risked his life to save him time and time again.
* The villain was humiliated by the righteous sects from childhood and despises the hypocritical airs of the immortal sects. When the villain tries to kill the Immortal Venerable…
Chen Zhen hands him a knife.
* The Immortal Venerable was once aloof and noble, protecting all living beings. But after his heart, devoted to the path of passionlessness, was shattered, he was consumed by desire. Through the nights when he can no longer control his dark impulses…
Chen Zhen offers himself to sate those desires, staying by his side without complaint.
* The male supporting character is a brooding, ghostly sort. His beloved junior brother, once his kindred spirit, joined the Immortal Venerable’s sect and cruelly abandoned him.
Through life and death, time and again…
“Junior Brother” Chen Zhen helps finish off their enemies, all the while acting as his confidant and pulling him out of the mire.
At first, the powerful figures all treat Chen Zhen, newly arrived, with cruel words and use him as an outlet for their anger. But gradually… they find themselves less and less able to live without the little nobody they once looked down on.
It’s different from before. As long as Chen Zhen is by their side, no matter how violent they become, the restless heart in their chest can be soothed.
They’ve come to see him as the only salvation in their darkness.
At last, the mission is nearing its end, and the powerful figures are on the verge of being healed. Then a trap is sprung, imprisoning all three demons together.
And the “deception” that has lasted for years is finally exposed amid the demons’ “warm” greetings.
To make matters worse, trapped in there with them is Chen Zhen, cowering in a corner without any of his secret identities, simultaneously their subordinate, disciple, and confidant, and a master of keeping everyone happy.
“…”
Looking at his targets, now a hundred times more violent than before, Chen Zhen trembles so hard his teeth chatter.
“Emergency! What do I do now that all three powerful figures have discovered my secret identities?”
Note: Everyone is dark. The shou is good at playing both sides but doesn’t realize it.
Theme: Study hard and improve every day.
