After sealing away part of his cultivation, Hu Jingtang, young master of a reclusive clan, broke the family's long-standing tradition of never joining another sect. He joined the greatest sect under heaven, bringing his whole family along.
Having worked hard to pass the sect's entrance test, Hu Jingtang was just as unconventional when choosing a master. His eyes darted around, then he pointed solemnly at the handsome, personable young man and declared, "I'll take him!"
The sect's senior disciple, Wu Peiyu, had only come to join the fun and improve his standing with the newcomers. He had no intention of taking a disciple at all. "..."
The senior disciple looked at the shameless newcomer and said with a headache, "I'm not an elder. What could you possibly learn from me?"
Hu Jingtang smiled honestly. "It's fine. I'm only here to have a good time."
The deputy sect leader egged him on, sounding like someone recruiting for a harem. "Just take him in!"
In keeping with his principle of never abandoning tact, Wu Peiyu accepted junior disciple Hu Jingtang as his younger sect brother. Then, taken by his looks, he began teasing him at every opportunity.
A few years later, Hu Jingtang sadly discovered: What was going on? This personable senior brother was the only king of the demon race? And now he was going to betray the sect?
Hu Jingtang: "...?"
And now this sudden appearance of a founding ancestor had dumped the sect leader's position on him?
Hu Jingtang: Eyes wide in shock. No thanks, no thanks.
Wu Peiyu's reaction to being forced to take a disciple:
At first: Should I just kill him? (frowning)
Later: Be good. Don't cause trouble. (indulgent look)
Finally: Damn it, can you stop making trouble for me? (holding his back)

Here's a preview of another upcoming story:
Luo Ming, a mixed-race esports player, is nicknamed Young Master not only for his boy-next-door looks, but also for the wealthy family background everyone in and out of the scene knows about.
No one expected the Young Master, who had racked up impressive results with his old team, to disappear without a trace as soon as the transfer window opened. With a huge pile of cash, he bought a struggling club on its last legs, then happily joined the new team.
Even more shocking, on the day the famously sharp-tongued and aloof Young Master moved in with his new team, he delivered an impassioned, OOC, chuuni speech to the esports idol he'd admired for years.
"No matter how many difficulties we face, it'll be all right now that I'm here. Everything will get better. Let's work together and restore our former glory..."
His new teammates smiled and applauded politely.
Song Yan: "Young Master, you're something else."
Liu Jiwen: "A bold move from someone who doesn't know what he's up against."
The team manager: "..." He was speechless.
Only Lin Songning, who was helping him carry his luggage, laughed softly. His eyes curved as he offered gentle encouragement. "That's pretty good. Keep it up. I believe you can do it."
Luo Ming, who had forced himself into a chuuni persona to justify buying the club without revealing years of fanboy devotion in front of his idol, felt his vision go black and nearly fell down the stairs.
"About how I embarrassed myself in front of my idol beyond belief"
"About how my idol was so gentle even with a chuuni teenager"
Lin Songning, seriously, I'm crying.
A gentle, steady, calm, secretly flirtatious top x a seemingly chuuni but actually sharp-tongued and pure-hearted bottom
