After transmigrating into a book, Ye Shu follows the System's instructions to find the wandering young male lead and take him in as his disciple, looking after him with great care so he can stay alive.
Little does he know the kid is an ungrateful wretch who can never be won over.
The little wretch falls into demonic cultivation to save the one he loves. When Ye Shu is gravely injured after shielding the world from calamity, the boy takes advantage of his weakness, steals his cultivation, shatters his bones, and locks his former master in a cage, leaving him unable to live or die.
All the great deeds of saving the world and its people are credited to the protagonist, while every vile accusation is pinned on Ye Shu alone.
Everyone says that the once-aloof, immortal-like figure is nothing but a hypocrite. They think he deserves to be ground to dust.
Until one day...
Ye Shu opens his eyes and discovers he's been reborn.
The protagonist, displaced and ragged, gazes pitifully at the half a bun in his hand.
"Big brother, I'm hungry..."
"..."
Before Ye Shu can react, someone beside him snatches the half bun away.
A young man in red, handsome with peach-blossom eyes, smiles teasingly. "This little brat is filthy. Don't let him dirty Master's hands. I'll take care of it."
It's his eldest disciple, who comes from a prestigious family.
But Ye Shu knows full well that Xue Yingshi, still his first disciple, may look harmless on the outside, but is actually obsessive and ruthless, a genuine lunatic.
Xue Yingshi is even half the reason the male lead ends up offering himself to the demons.
Later, he becomes a villain everyone wants dead, no better than that little white-eyed wretch of a protagonist.
Now that the System is finally gone, Ye Shu decides to give up and go with the flow.
Whoever wants to be this master can do it. He certainly won't.
He'd rather be a carefree invalid, with nobody bothering him.
