Master-Disciple Romance, but the Master Takes the Lead [Book Transmigration]

Jiang Luoyuan transmigrates into a harem novel from Qidian as its aloof, unattainable master: a man with both formidable strength and stunning looks. But the protagonist is ambitious and jealous, and plots to have him killed.

Jiang Luoyuan closes his eyes and draws his sword.

With a rebellious disciple like this, what's the point? Let's just destroy everything, and be done with it!

He charges into the protagonist's room with a slash, ready to purge the sect of this traitor, only to have a rosy-cheeked little white dumpling cling to his leg, sobbing until his robes are soaked.

Chu Hong: Master, sob, I've missed you so much. I had a nightmare. I'm scared...

Jiang Luoyuan: ...?

This isn't quite how things are supposed to go. Jiang Luoyuan decides to observe a little longer.

In the book, the protagonist is sinister and arrogant, but Chu Hong is respectful to his elders, kind and friendly to his fellow disciples, and cares deeply for his juniors.

Even when Jiang Luoyuan ignores him, Chu Hong gazes at him with such ardent eyes, not a trace of gloom in them.

Jiang Luoyuan: ...Wait a minute. Protagonist, did you get the wrong character setting?

Maintaining his master's aloof demeanor, Jiang Luoyuan walks away, thoroughly flustered.

But the moment Jiang Luoyuan is gone, Chu Hong turns around and grabs a fellow disciple who had come over to ingratiate himself, his eyes gloomy. He rips the man's soul right out of him.

"With skills like yours, you dared lay a hand on my master in my last life?"

To test whether the protagonist has really changed, Jiang Luoyuan deliberately tries to interfere with every spirit treasure and fortuitous encounter that comes his way.

But the next moment, the protagonist offers him everything he has gained with both hands.

Even himself.

?

Jiang Luoyuan stares expressionlessly at the protagonist lying on his bed.

"Master, from now on, let me protect you forever. Will you?" Chu Hong gazes up at him, eyes rimmed with red and voice forceful, as if he'll turn evil on the spot if Jiang Luoyuan refuses.

Once he realizes what's going on, Jiang Luoyuan grabs his sword and knocks Chu Hong off the bed.

Jiang Luoyuan: "I knew something was off. This has turned into a master-disciple romance from Jinjiang, hasn't it?"

"Excellent, you rebellious disciple. Today I'll show you that not every master-disciple story has the master on the bottom!"

#A top who looks like an aloof, unreachable flower and is always putting on airs, but is completely bewildered inside x a bottom who is sweet on the outside and cruel to everyone but his master#

#Jiang Luoyuan x Chu Hong#

#Transmigrate x Reborn#

1. The master transmigrates, and the disciple is reborn. The master is the same person in both lives, so enjoy without worry.

2. At first, the master's thinking is affected, so he can't recognize that Chu Hong isn't the protagonist from the original book. He'll break free of this later.

3. Slow burn, slow burn, slow burn. This is a fictional setting, so please don't nitpick the details.

4. The story focuses on the top, but has dual perspectives. Both the top and bottom get their share of page time.

5. The style may lean toward old-school, plot-driven cultivation progression. Sorry, I just really like this kind of thing.

6. Updates daily at noon once the story launches. If you like it, please add it to your favorites.

7. The blurb may change, but the core premise won't. I'm terrible at writing blurbs, sob.

Coming soon: They All Covet My Beloved, Everyone's Favorite Haitang Master. If you like it, please add it to your favorites (bashful).

As Yun Yin Immortal Venerable's youngest disciple, Qi Mo is spoiled beyond all reason and spends his days causing trouble.

Then one night, he learns in a dream that the world he lives in is actually an angsty harem novel full of explicit scenes.

His master, the story's beloved and desired bottom, will one day be imprisoned by the combined forces of the immortal and demonic realms, and subjected to endless humiliation.

After finally escaping, his master will sacrifice himself for the sake of all living beings.

After waking, Qi Mo sits dazed for a long while, until his peerlessly noble and refined master knocks on his door.

Looking at Qi Mo, Liu Shuyun asks with concern, "Disciple, why haven't I seen you out bullying your fellow disciples and getting up to mischief today? Are you feeling unwell?"

Qi Mo comes to his senses, deeply moved.

What a wonderful master! He'll never let that future come to pass!

And then Qi Mo chooses to leave the sect.

He finds the Demonfall Cliff and throws himself over without hesitation.

"Master, I'm done being an immortal!"

Everyone knows that Yun Yin Immortal Venerable is the strongest in the immortal realm, with incomparable beauty, a gentle and considerate nature, and a pure, serene bearing like frost beneath the moon.

Yet somehow, he raised a disciple who betrayed the immortal sect.

At the Immortal Dao Conference, Liu Shuyun rises and bows his head apologetically. "Yun Yin failed to teach his disciple properly. Once I find that wretch, I will give you all an explanation."

Seeing this, Liu Shuyun's eldest disciple immediately speaks up. "This was not Master's fault. Our junior brother was born with a rebellious streak."

The leader of the Immortal Dao Conference quickly adds, "Shuyun, you did all you could. Some people are beyond saving from birth."

Even the Demon Lord, upon hearing the news, declares, "Anyone who dares upset Yun Yin has no place in the demonic realm, either."

After the conference, Liu Shuyun returns to his cave abode and waves his hand, manifesting a starry chessboard.

Every piece sits neatly in place, except for one that has fallen on its side.

It is the little disciple who jumped off the cliff.

Picking up the piece, Liu Shuyun gives a soft laugh. "Since you've jumped out of the game, let me see if you can truly escape my grasp."

When the righteous advance a step, the demonic advance a step further. To stop the people from his dream from harming his master, Qi Mo has no choice but to become a demon and strike first.

He commits countless murders. His master pursues him all the while, but can never catch up.

After killing everyone who covets his master, Qi Mo turns around, drenched in blood, only for a hand as pale as jade to caress his face.

"You really thought your master couldn't catch you?" Seeing Qi Mo's astonished expression, Liu Shuyun smiles with playful interest.

"You say they all covet me, but what about you?"
