A Custom-Built Crematorium for My Master

[Everyone in the cultivation world retains their memories] [Short story] [Third-person narration] My name is Shuang Tang, and I'm an orphan. I have a master, the number one person in the cultivation world, as graceful as jade and peerlessly handsome, a third kind of beauty standing between the snow and the moon. I've been in love with my master for years. My master treats me very well, but he's not a man of his word. The day he took me in, I asked him if he would stay by my side forever. I told him that if he couldn't, I wouldn't go with him. My master promised me. Then he broke his promise. I watched with my own eyes as my master died in front of me for the sake of all living beings, without even leaving me a body. -- Later, after going mad for many years, I forcibly reversed the course of time and brought the entire cultivation world back with me. Naturally, I saved my master too. Life returned to how it used to be, and my master treated me even better. He promised again that he would stay with me forever and never abandon me. But I don't believe him. He said the same thing many years ago. So I thought and thought, until I came up with a great way to make sure my master never abandoned me again. Why not die before my master abandons me? -- Reading Guide -- * Happy ending. The master chases his disciple and suffers for it. Two lunatics fall in love. Don't read if that's not your thing. * I love writing deranged stories about dragging the bright moon down into the mud and watching it sink. Logic is dead; melodrama reigns. Upcoming novel: The Main Quest Is to Cuddle Up to My Master Master-disciple romance, older love interest Tang Shuang transmigrates back to his original world. The System tells him that once he completes his final task, he'll become the top task-taker in the main world. System: [New task available. Host, please check it.] Tang Shuang looks closely. Everyone except him has a name and title above their head, and some people even have an exclamation mark. So... is the final task to play a real-life game??? [Host, completing the main quest counts as completion.] Tang Shuang turns his head and sees his master walking toward him, so graceful and handsome that no one could compare. The huge exclamation mark above his head gleams with golden light, outshining everyone. Now I get it! My master is my main quest! * Ge Qingye notices that his disciple has become very strange overnight. He keeps staring at the tops of people's heads. Once, Ge Qingye even catches him circling the old man guarding the sect's gate and asking if the old man gets lonely. Of course, the strangest thing is that a light screen has suddenly appeared in his consciousness, where he can enter text. Apparently, it's for tasks. Looking down at his disciple, who's staring at the top of his head, Ge Qingye tentatively types: [Give me a hug.] The next second, his disciple throws his arms around him. Ge Qingye gets it. So that's how this thing works. * Some time later Tang Shuang realizes that the side quests for passersby are all quite normal. But his master's tasks occasionally have some very unusual content. Things like: Give your master a hug. It'll make him happy. Don't talk to other people, or your affection level will drop. Ask your master to apply medicine to you, or he'll worry. Then they get even more outrageous: Kiss your master. Sleep with your master because he's afraid of the dark. Taking a bath together will bring the master and disciple closer and help with the main quest. Tang Shuang: I feel like someone's messing with me, but I can't find any proof QAQ -- Reading Guide -- * Sweet and lighthearted. * Master Gong. Theme: Never give up, and the world will treat you gently.
