Zhu Ci always thought he was an ordinary college student. In other people's eyes, he was even so aloof that he barely spoke. That is, until one day he entered a horror game and gained a strange talent. From then on, he could only keep a cool face while crying until the corners of his eyes turned red.
To top it off, his usually gentle and considerate boyfriend grew stranger by the day. Besides being a mystery novelist, he seemed to be an expert in all sorts of inhuman skills, and in the game he launched a fierce pursuit of Zhu Ci.
Zhu Ci kept getting further down the road to breaking up with him, ending things once after every instance.
Outside the game, Zhu Ci's boyfriend, Shen Wu, was utterly baffled. They'd been sweet together for years, and now his boyfriend suddenly wanted to break up. It took a week of coaxing each time, and as soon as they made up, Zhu Ci would break up with him again.
Question: [My boyfriend won't behave. Should I lock him up and teach him a lesson?]
A slightly more serious blurb
Zhu Ci opened a certain game.
Your game question: [If you entered a leveling game where the price of becoming a god was being abandoned by everyone and hunted by your lover, would you be willing?]
Zhu Ci glanced at his perfect boyfriend, who was cooking dinner. Seriously?
Then he entered an extremely bizarre game and drew a completely useless sword that would bring him misfortune.
As he played, someone who looked exactly like his boyfriend started hunting him.
Zhu Ci: "..."
Should he break up? That was the question.
After entering the game, everyone gained a talent. Other people's talents either enhanced their physical abilities or gave them various skills. Zhu Ci looked at the description of his own talent: Cry when in danger?
The legendary aloof beauty, Zhu Ci: "..."
Zhu Ci could only put on a cold face and pretend he had a tear condition, wiping his eyes as he cleared each instance.
Before clearing it, his teammates: "A pretty face with no substance?"
After clearing it, his teammates: "Boss, take us with you!"
The livestream audience: "Aww, I want to bully him so badly."
As Zhu Ci clears the game, he has to deal with the System targeting him and someone hunting him down. In real life, his gentle and considerate boyfriend keeps asking why he is so frail and distant.
Thinking of how the person who chased him relentlessly in the game looks exactly like his boyfriend, Zhu Ci painfully asks to break up. The next day, in the game, his pursuer logs in early and corners him against a wall, eyes dark and cold. "Why did you break up with me?"
Zhu Ci: "?!" You bastard, have you been hunting me with your memories intact this whole time?
Talent: [Crying and Smiling Mask]: Every tear and smile of yours is an act. Your tears are not surrender, but a sacrifice to the gods. Pleasing the audience with your tears is your worth as an offering.
Zhu Ci, forced by his lousy talent to pretend he has a tear condition: Trash!
A top who tries his best to go easy to protect his wife and his livelihood x a bottom who is calm but forced to cry
When will this trash talent stop embarrassing me?
P.S. The top really doesn't remember in the early chapters, and he isn't an evil god. The pursuit storyline appears in the middle and later parts of each instance.
Next novel: Taking on Apprentices? Pick an Ugly One
Ji Qingbai, known as the Vast Immortal Venerable of Zhengchu, is three thousand years old. After attending the wedding of his nine hundred and ninety-eighth old friend and their disciple, he finally realizes one thing: being a master is a high-risk profession.
His old friends all tell him, "Don't worry, someone like you is perfectly safe."
But Ji Qingbai doesn't believe them. After all, he's handsome, ethereal, and loved by everyone. How could anyone spend every day with him and not fall for him?
His old friends: Because you're way too confident.

After reading hundreds of master-disciple romance novels and summing up his friends' experiences, Ji Qingbai figures out how to stay safe: take the ugliest disciple, and ideally make himself ugly too.
So, to see if his theory holds up, Ji Qingbai transforms himself into a seventy-year-old man and plans to take on a disciple to spend every day with as an experiment. The uglier the better.
As soon as word gets out, a long line forms outside his mountain gate. But because he's looking for someone ugly, he sends everyone away as soon as he meets them. Until a youth with skin as black as charcoal, only two shining eyes on his face, and two protruding fangs comes to seek a master.
Ji Qingbai: "Good aptitude. You're the one."
The youth: "I was just passing by."
Ji Qingbai: "Good. You've successfully caught my attention."

After taking in the youth named Mo Miao, Ji Qingbai discovers he might be a bit of a beauty addict.
Ji Qingbai: "Hey, Mo Shui, cover your face a little more often. You're too ugly for me."
Mo Miao: "???" Then why did you say you wanted the ugliest one? And my name is Mo Miao, not Mo Shui.
4
Mo Miao's original name is Xiang Miao. He's a half-immortal, half-demon, and the most powerful big shot in the Demon Realm. He considers Ji Qingbai of the Immortal Realm his lifelong nemesis.
Every time he challenged Ji Qingbai to a duel before, Ji Qingbai would say, "What, a duel? Don't try to make me interested in you this way. Even if you're handsome, it won't work."
But Ji Qingbai never remembers what he looks like, and not once has their duel actually happened. He plans to use Ji Qingbai's decision to take on a disciple as a chance to get revenge, so he covers himself in black paint to look ugly and infiltrates the sect.
5
And then he becomes the other man's disciple.
Ji Qingbai: "Mo Shui, you're too ugly. How about I pay to get you plastic surgery and skin whitening?"
Ji Qingbai: "You're so ugly, I still wouldn't like you even if you batted your eyelashes at me."
Ji Qingbai: "Practice your sword, but stop swaying your waist like that."
Ji Qingbai: "All right, I think you've blinded me with your ugliness. I'm applying for injury leave."

In the eyes of outsiders: a lecherous old man and a charcoal monster.
A somewhat overconfident, loves-to-overthink master x a top who has had enough, was as straight as they come, but turns gay for revenge
Theme: Never give up hope. See it through to the end.
Damn, why are you not stuck on V? I think this book can still be salvaged. Please update 😭 😭
When will it be updated? 🤔
The level of attacking and receiving combat power is confusing.
Sometimes this article seems to be stuck one after another, and the picture in my mind will be broken, such as the ball of light.
I didn't feel much about the protagonist's complete change in life, but when I saw the suspension of school, I felt very serious.
The transition of this copy... I don't quite understand
The writing is okay! However, I feel that the narrative is still a bit confusing, and I hope the author will continue to work hard [Spread Flowers][Spread Flowers]
So it's a congratulatory message for two timelines. In the first life, he was picked up and trained according to plan, and then went out to copy and become a god. In the end, it seemed to have failed. What happened and started the second life? In the second life, the variable Shen Wu appeared, causing him to grow up alone. Will his destiny be completely rewritten? The CPU is going to burn out.
Thank you to heaven, thank you to earth, thank you for your hard work~
There are too many typos [crying loudly] I'm here to catch up, I hope you'll also enjoy some snacks. Come on!
