After My Disciple Killed Me Ninety-Nine Times [Book Transmigration]

This novel will be marked complete starting from Chapter 30 on November 25~

[Next works: Evil Path and Master, He Always Wants to Be Rebellious. Add them to your reading list~]

The modern cultivator Ruan Qingxiao transmigrates into a book with a so-called "Good Teacher System," intending to change the ending in which the author's botched finale has the villain destroy the world.

Instead, he becomes the villain's master, whose identity is unknown in the book, and who gets dug up, whipped, and tossed aside.

After being bitten to death, hacked to death, and killed by ahem... among many other deaths,

+System: [Congratulations, Host, on achieving the 99-deaths milestone: A doting mother spoils her son.]

Ruan Qingxiao, driven completely mad: I'll beat this little brat to death if it's the last thing I do!

With the resolve to either succeed or die trying, and the combined fury of his previous 99 attempts, Ruan Qingxiao opens his eyes...

??? What the hell? I was promised a combat-ready body. Who's this wrinkled old man?!

System: [The Thousand Transformations Illusion Water. A perfect fit for the Host's request to be ruthless and strong. Over.]

And so Ruan Qingxiao, wearing the most ethereal and refined body in the cultivation world, begins his arduous, grudge-filled daily routine of raising his disciple all over again.

Little does he know that the bastard he's cursed thousands of times has been reborn.

Reborn, Xiao Chuhe is ruthless at heart, but acts obedient, sensible, and courteous. He never hits back or talks back, carrying the principle of "respect your master" through to the end.

Just as Ruan Qingxiao is happily certain he will succeed this time,

the villain, who accidentally (deliberately) discovers his secret, goes completely red-eyed.

Pinned to the platform, Ruan Qingxiao looks up in shock. The man slowly unties the sash at his waist. His once-innocent eyes are now filled with madness, and his sinister voice brims with menace.

"Master, your disciple is unfilial. If we don't dual cultivate, I'll cultivate demonic power."

+Ruan Qingxiao: What the hell! Get away from me, ahhhhh!

Reader's guide and warnings:

1. A scheming, jealous, drama-loving, ambitious, and unhinged disciple who appears innocent but is secretly sinister, top x a cold on the outside, warm on the inside, overly imaginative, stunningly beautiful, softhearted master, bottom.

2. Transmigrate into a book x System x reborn x the top is unhinged and seriously ill (not really) x content warning in Chapter One.

3. The bottom isn't effeminate, and the top didn't fall in love after killing him 99 times! There are twists later on. The top is not excused. The old-man appearance doesn't get much page time; his true appearance has a slight beloved-by-all quality. Happy ending. Both top and bottom have memory problems. The 99 deaths happened for a reason. That's the premise, so feel free to criticize the top, just don't criticize me (doge, saving my life).

4. Please don't compare this novel to other works or authors in the comments, especially comments like "it's similar to xxx." If you want to argue, my sons are one of a kind. My writing skills are limited, but I'm improving little by little. I hope writing this makes me happy and reading it makes you happy too.

5. The author is terrible at writing blurbs. Please give this one a chance.

6. If you don't like it, just click away in the upper right corner. Everyone will be happier.

7. Friendly reminder: The ending is somewhat rushed. If the earlier chapters make you frustrated, feel free to jump to the last few chapters for the truth.

Enjoy! I'll add more warnings and details as I think of them.

Coming soon: Evil Path [Infinite], also known as When the Hidden Boss Becomes a Newbie

Shen Yinchuan, a fearsome god of death famed throughout the Otherworld, gets swept into a temporal maelstrom on the first day of his vacation. He's extremely unlucky to become one of the many players in a game.

He's beautiful, slender, fragile, and alluring, like a wild rose growing by the roadside, delicate and easily broken, as if anyone could trample and crush him at will.

The shivering guide System hugs itself in the corner, its electronic voice stumbling over its words:

[The S-Seven Deadly Sins card. Card activation. B-Binding initiated.]

[Human obsession is the hardest fluctuation in the world to calm or erase. Desire, money, power, jealousy, malice... They go on and on, never ending.]

[You will amplify everyone's desires until they get everything they want from you.]

[Find the ghosts hiding among the crowd, wearing human skin...]

Shen Yinchuan: ...

God-tier boss butler System: Hey, brother, don't shake. My boss only takes people apart, not Systems.

Guide System {shaking uncontrollably}: That's even m-m-m-m-m-m scarier QAQ

*

A sudden temporal storm throws the world into chaos. Energy runs wild, outsiders invade in droves to steal the origins and fortunes of small worlds, bringing about their destruction and extinction.

A deadly island manhunt... a terrifying hospital haunting... an ever-present apocalyptic crisis...

Ugly monsters swarm in packs, their sharp claws and fangs chasing their prey. Shen Yinchuan is shoved forcefully behind them.

The panicked people fleeing fail to see the monsters' momentary looks of fear, or their bloodied claws reaching out with the utmost gentleness to catch him.

No one sees the man at the back turn and rush headlong into the monster horde to reclaim his rose.

The first time he saw Shen Yinchuan, he wanted to take that rose home.

So what if it was love at first sight? Xing Yan thinks. I don't just want to carry him to bed. I want to carry him home and make him my wife.

A human falls in love with a monster and is willing to pave the road to his coronation with his own flesh and blood.

[Coming soon 2]

Master, He Always Wants to Be Rebellious

In the Zixu Realm stands a Divine Sword Tomb. It opens once every 30 years, and each opening brings forth a rare divine weapon. Anyone who meets the tomb guardian's requirements can have a divine weapon recognize them as its master.

On the day the tomb opens, everyone gathers, only to see several huge words carved into the mountaintop: I want to take on a disciple!

Everyone is delighted and presents their offerings with cupped hands: A natural fire spirit core, seen once in a thousand years! A natural ice spirit core, an extraordinary rarity!

Jun Changle: Your aptitude is insufficient. Don't embarrass yourself.

Cultivators: May we ask what you're looking for...?

Jun Changle (enigmatically): Aptitude doesn't matter. The important thing is to wear black, have a poker face, and be rebellious and irreverent. Oh, and you must know how to betray your master...

Cultivators (trembling with fear): ...You could just say you have your eye on the Rakshasa Venerable.

Jun Changle: Huh? That ugly bastard? No.

*

As the guardian of the Sword Tomb, Jun Changle has read countless master-disciple stories and dreams of having a disciple who will betray him. But burdened with the important duty of forging swords, he can't leave the realm, so he can only console himself by snacking on the juicy master-disciple gossip from the neighboring mountain.

Until one day, while wandering over as usual to listen to gossip, he finds a beautiful ancient mirror at the foot of the mountain. There's a man in the mirror, and when Jun Changle sighs over the show he's watching, the man takes it as a sign and sends him a soft little bundle.

The child wears black, has a cold expression, and is covered in injuries. He looks exactly like the pitiful sort from a storybook, unloved by both parents.

Jun Changle: I can tell this child will achieve great things! A forbidden master-disciple romance is within reach!

Later, his dream comes true, except one disciple becomes two.

*

Inside a golden cage woven from heavenly silk, the infamous man fixes him with a sinister, crazed gaze. "Master, am I uglier, or is the Profound Mirror uglier? Do you like me or the Profound Mirror?"

Jun Changle: ...I didn't know the Rakshasa Venerable had a split personality.

A wolfdog disciple who can make himself jealous to death, top x a timid but flirtatious, attention-seeking yet formidable master, bottom.

Theme: Resolve misunderstandings, support one another, and fight evil together
