My Master Took the Bad Ending Route

In her previous life, Luo Yao learned only after a sword pierced her heart that she was living inside a storybook. In the book, she was a villainous master who committed every kind of evil.

Her carefully taught disciple, Wei Yan, became the male lead who suffered endless abuse in that story.

All the things she had done to strengthen his resolve and make him train diligently were portrayed as wicked deeds that had deeply harmed the male lead.

Even when Wei Yan faced his great tribulation, she flew in front of him to block a heavenly lightning strike out of concern for her disciple, but that too was made out to be part of some ulterior scheme.

In the end, Wei Yan endured humiliation and secretly plotted until he finally laid a deadly trap and ran her through the heart with his sword. He even used the ancient Soul-Eating Bell, leaving her soul completely scattered.

In the story, after she died, Wei Yan transformed from a righteous immortal lord into a Demon Venerable feared by all.

Seeking revenge, he slaughtered everyone at her Wanghuai Mountain sect, wielding only a sword.

He wiped out the righteous immortal sects and flung open the entrance to the demon realm, leaving the human world devastated and barren.

From then on, the world descended into chaos.

The land was consumed by flames.

Reborn into another life, Luo Yao gazed at the disciple before her, who was still well-behaved and calling her Master, her expression cool and distant.

If his nature was evil, she had no need to trap herself as she had in her previous life.

If Wei Yan had any obsession in his previous life, it was that, as he lay dying, he kept wishing he could see his master one more time. Sadly, he never got to.

When he was thrown into the Demonfall Abyss, he was gravely wounded. As he bled nearly dry, the only thing he could think of was that his master might come see him one more time, might come save him as selflessly as she had before.

But deep down, he knew it was impossible. His master was already dead, killed by his own hand. He had personally torn her soul to shreds. The fragments left in the Soul-Eating Bell were so broken that no matter how carefully he searched for ways to repair them over the centuries, nothing helped.

No one would ever care whether his wounds hurt again. No one would ever come to save him.

As more and more blood poured from Wei Yan, he clutched the ancient artifact containing his master’s soul and breathed his last in the Demonfall Abyss.

When he opened his eyes again, he found his master standing safe and sound right in front of him.

He carefully hid the madness and yearning in his eyes, lifted his head obediently, and called out, “Master.”
