After Faking My Death, My Master, Who Cultivates the Path of Ruthlessness, Fell to the Dark Side for Me

Sui Jianjian's whole family transmigrated. Everyone except him became powerful figures in the demon clan.

Only he ended up in a renowned righteous sect, sworn enemies of the demon clan, as the disciple of Fang Qingchen, the greatest sword cultivator in the world.

His master cultivated the Ruthless Dao, and was on the verge of attaining it. The only thing he still couldn't bear to sever was the bond between master and disciple.

Sui Jianjian longed for his master, but could never have him. His master cared for him, yet had no romantic feelings for him.

Sui Jianjian could only be Fang Qingchen's good disciple.

But all he wanted was to be his master's Dao companion.

Since his master couldn't grant his wish, Sui Jianjian decided to grant his master's instead, helping him attain the Ruthless Dao by personally severing the last remaining bond between them.

Sui Jianjian died.

When he awoke again in the demon clan, he thought he would hear the good news that his master had ascended to the heavens.

Instead, everyone told him:

His master had failed his tribulation and fallen into the demonic path long ago.

From the love interest's perspective:

Only after his disciple died did Fang Qingchen realize that he did feel love. He had simply locked it away years ago.

Carrying his disciple's corpse, he searched heaven and earth for a forbidden demonic technique that could bring the dead back to life, only to discover that the demon clan's new Demon Lord looked so much like his little disciple.

He died, and only then did I realize I loved him. But he no longer remembers me.
