The Ruthless Daoist Master Owns His Actions [Book Transmigration]

Jiang Zhicang transmigrated into a book, becoming an expendable, heartless Dao sect leader who was killed by the parents of the overpowered male lead while he was sick and weak.

When he opened his eyes, he found a middle-aged couple sharpening their knives and coming for him. Jiang Zhicang struck first and killed them with his sword.

Then he turned around, picked up the overpowered male lead, who was sleeping on the bed, and took him as his disciple.

--Cultivating the Heartless Dao isn't easy. One day, he'll still have to kill his disciple to prove his Dao.

Spring turned to autumn, and cold gave way to warmth. Under Jiang Zhicang's deliberate hands-off upbringing, Ruan Deng grew up completely spoiled.

He was innocent, cheerful, willful, and useless.

He had inherited none of Jiang Zhicang's cold-blooded ruthlessness.

The boy knew nothing of love. His heart and eyes held only his master.

For Ruan Deng's eighteenth birthday, Jiang Zhicang said he would give him a gift.

Ruan Deng spent half a month looking forward to it. What he received was a cold sword thrust into his heart.

Jiang Zhicang ascended.

He didn't know that the body he had abandoned at the bottom of the cliff was wreathed in cold flames. A demon seed from the abyssal underworld, having waded through the blood of countless corpses, followed close behind him, filthy and burdened with a venomous thirst for revenge.

A thousand years later, chaos engulfed the upper realm, and the Demon Lord conquered the five great immortal sects.

The once lofty master became a lowly prisoner overnight.

In a dim cell, an act of passion had just ended. The beautiful man on the bed was half-naked and barely breathing.

Ruan Deng cruelly wiped the suggestive moisture from his lips with his fingertip.

His voice was dark, as if it came from the depths of hell.

"Jiang Zhicang, if you dare run again, I'll cripple your dantian, break all four of your limbs, and tie a rope around your neck so you can eke out a miserable existence like a dog."

"Remember, you brought this on yourself..."

Reader's guide:

1. Angsty, all-consuming romance.

2. There is more to the story about the parents.

3. The shou is a villain through and through. He transmigrates into a book and still refuses to believe the warnings, so he gets what he deserves for going after the protagonist. That's what I mean by "asking for it," no doubt about it, haha.

4. The gong talks big, but if his wife's arm gets even a tiny scratch, he worries himself sick.
