Chao Yue transmigrated into a novel as Chao Jian Yue, the frail master of Shen Ling, the villainous demon lord. His mission was to make the pitiful, sweet little villain suffer until he turned evil.
To stay alive, Chao Yue had no choice but to be cruel to the little villain. But the boy was gentle and obedient, accepting every punishment from Chao Yue without complaint. Chao Yue's conscience was in constant agony.
What hurt even more was that every time he punished the little villain, his senior brothers and sisters not only failed to stop him, but actively encouraged him!
Senior Brother, the sect leader: Your second disciple is up to no good. It's already kind of you to take him in, Yue'er. There's no need to go easy on him.
Second Senior Brother of the Hundred Battles Peak: Yue'er is coughing up blood again! That little brat must have made him sick! Throw him out!
Third Senior Brother of the Hundred Spirits Peak: That brat can't even take care of you! What's the point of keeping him as a disciple?
Chao Yue: Help! I'm only picking a fight with the big shot because I have to. What's your excuse? Are you trying to get us all killed?
So Chao Yue had to change his plan. Instead of putting the little villain down, he began standing up for him.
The sect leader hated the little villain, so Chao Yue said: Xiao Ling is a good kid. Senior Brother, don't be prejudiced against him.
The second senior brother accused the little villain, so Chao Yue urged: Thanks to Xiao Ling, I'm in a good mood every day.
The third senior brother mocked the little villain, so Chao Yue earnestly replied: Xiao Ling is filial and capable. He's my favorite disciple.
The road was rough, but at least he managed to get the little villain through the story and raise him into a fully grown, evil Demon Lord.
The sinister and violent Demon Lord Shen Ling returned from the demon realm. The first thing he did was attack the Yunqiong Sect, where he had once lived.
Chao Yue threw himself forward and shouted: I'll take responsibility for my own actions! If you want revenge for all those past grievances, come after me!
That's right, that's right, bro, come on and kill me! I'm done with this! I want to go farming!!
The Demon Lord strode through the air and pulled him into his arms with a laugh. "For a hundred years, your disciple has suffered from longing. I'll obey your command and claim my due from you, Master."
Chao Yue: ?
Chao Yue: Fine, then.
From the gong's point of view:
Reborn, Shen Ling returned to the dark, painful childhood filled with mockery.
The beautiful master before him, radiant as if stepped from a painting, was utterly captivating. Life at the Yunqiong Sect, however, was unbearable.
He was ready to be treated like a servant, used as a test subject for medicine, and targeted by the beautiful master's favorite disciple...
He was prepared to bide his time, but reality was completely different from his past.
The beautiful master coldly called him useless, then turned around and praised him lavishly to others.
The beautiful master threatened to use him as an ingredient for medicine, but then risked his own life to find an antidote to the poison for him.
The beautiful master claimed to dote on his eldest disciple, but secretly gave Shen Ling the best pills.
...A master unlike the one in his past life, showing him a love and warmth he'd never known. Shen Ling crawled out of a cold ravine filled with blood and bones, his eyes gleaming with utter madness.
You aren't him.
But you're mine.
