Being a Laid-Back Fish in an Old-School Master-Disciple Novel

Updates begin Friday! Cool, upright master as the pursuer x optimistic, easygoing layabout as the pursued Wei Qingtan transmigrated into a book, an old-fashioned, melodramatic master-disciple novel titled My Master, Love Me Once More. He became a disposable character whose job was to drive up the emotional tension between master and disciple, manufacturing one conflict after another. In the book, the wicked disciple Lu Beichen was madly in love with his master, Cang Yunqiu. Unable to have him, he turned evil and became a demon, then locked Cang Yunqiu away and did all sorts of unspeakable things to him for more than two hundred chapters. Wei Qingtan, meanwhile, had nothing going for him but his looks. He became the white lotus caught between master and disciple, stirring up trouble on both sides. When his schemes were finally exposed, he died without a complete corpse. After transmigrating into the book, Wei Qingtan wept rivers of tears and resolved to be a carefree layabout, neither fighting nor competing, until the end of his days. Lu Beichen was the orphaned survivor of the demon clan. He had been obsessive and gloomy since childhood, and flew into a rage at the slightest provocation. When trouble struck, even a layabout got caught in the crossfire. To stay alive, Wei Qingtan had no choice but to become Senior Brother Lu's scheming adviser. Little by little, he talked Lu Beichen around, and Senior Brother Lu's moods gradually stabilized. But then Wei Qingtan secretly hid his master's prayer beads, and Senior Brother Lu caught him in the act. Facing Senior Brother Lu's cold, gloomy stare, Wei Qingtan cowered and let out a terrified squeal: “Senior Brother, no, listen to me make excuses! I didn't steal Master's things. I'm innocent!” Senior Brother: “You dared to covet Master. You deserve to die a thousand deaths!” “No, no, I don't like Master! I, I actually like you!” Senior Brother: “Oh?” Wei Qingtan cried, “I only love Master because I love you! But I know the person you like isn't me, so I've decided to close my heart and spend the rest of my life with the Buddha...” Before he could finish, Senior Brother interrupted him. “I never imagined you'd secretly harbor feelings for me! Well, since we're fellow disciples, let's ask Master to bless our union.” Wei Qingtan: ? Wait, say that again. Ask who to bless us??? Are you seriously using me to make Master jealous?? Cang Yunqiu, dressed in white, sat in the seat of honor, his gaze dark as he looked at the two disciples kneeling in the great hall, asking their master to bless their union. When his gaze fell on his youngest disciple, who had practically shrunk into a ball, he let out a cold laugh: He wondered which little rascal had sneaked into his room in the middle of the night, climbed straight into his arms without a word, and kissed him! Then made grand promises about giving Master a child! How did he have the nerve to ask for Master's blessing? My next book will be Everyone in the Sect Is Sick Except Me, featuring an obsessive master as the pursuer. Here's the blurb: Jinxiu was lucky enough to join the Sword Spirit Sect at the age of seven, becoming the youngest disciple under the sect leader. His master treated him like his own child and taught him everything he knew. His senior brothers and sisters treated him like a little brother, showering him with affection and care. Jinxiu lived up to his name, growing up surrounded by beauty, but died young at seventeen, on his birthday. After his death, Jinxiu became a ghost. He began to think back on his short life and remembered a few things he could never forget: His kind and gentle master suffered from a cold illness that brought unbearable pain whenever it flared up. Jinxiu had sworn to find the best doctors in the world and cure him. His gentle eldest senior brother and his childhood sweetheart shared deep feelings for each other. They were a perfect match, and Jinxiu had always wanted to celebrate their wedding. His sentimental second senior brother had a tragic past. His parents abandoned him at birth, and Jinxiu had promised to help him find his family. His gloomy, aloof third senior brother had been unable to walk since childhood. He and their junior sister loved each other, but his inferiority complex kept driving her away... And his eldest senior sister had been married for three years and was about to give birth to her second child. Jinxiu still hadn't had the chance to give her the gift he'd prepared. The more Jinxiu thought about it, the more worried he became. He decided to borrow a corpse and return to life to settle these unfinished matters, and unexpectedly gained the ability to read minds. But when he returned to the sect, everyone's story had changed completely. His eldest senior brother's childhood sweetheart was a man, and both of them were plotting how to kill the other on their wedding night. His second senior brother was a young demon lord who had been secretly in love with their master for years. His third senior brother wasn't disabled, and he didn't like their junior sister. And their junior sister didn't like him either. She just wanted to bully a cripple. Most outrageous of all was his eldest senior sister. She'd had two babies in three years, and each child had a different father. Even worse, through his mind-reading ability, Jinxiu learned the real cause of his death and hurried to seek his master's protection. But through the half-open door of the hall, he saw his master, clothes in disarray, passionately kissing someone in his arms. Jinxiu looked closely and froze. The person in his master's arms was none other than himself: his own cold, lifeless corpse! Theme: Never forget your original purpose, and you'll reach the end
