Three Sentences, and the Protagonist Shou Abandons His Evil Disciple for Me

[Sickly, carefree beauty gong × fake gentle, truly dark and unhinged shou] Wen Zeyi transmigrates into a book about master-disciple romance, where the protagonist gong is a mad-dog disciple who uses every dirty trick in the book, from locking his master Lan Shanyuan away to psychologically torturing him. He breaks his master's immortal bones and drives him to take his own life. Wen Zeyi has it even worse than the master shou, because he's a disposable extra. As the master shou's junior martial brother, Wen Zeyi is not only despised for cultivating demonic arts, but can also be easily stabbed to death by the protagonist gong, who has only just joined the sect. And the protagonist gong kills him for no other reason than to get his master's attention. Wen Zeyi: ? Thanks for asking. I feel like I've become part of their kink. * Luckily, he transmigrated into the book early, before the protagonist gong had become Lan Shanyuan's disciple. Looking at his senior brother, who had yet to be tormented body and soul by his scumbag disciple and was still the leading figure of the immortal sect, Wen Zeyi had a sudden idea. Since taking on a disciple would bring nothing but trouble for anyone, why not persuade his senior brother to stay single? If they stopped the wicked disciple at the sect gates, his senior brother could focus on ascending to immortality, and Wen Zeyi could escape his fate as a disposable extra doomed by the plot. A win-win. But as the two grew closer, Wen Zeyi realized his senior brother was acting stranger and stranger. Their interactions were perfectly ordinary, yet Lan Shanyuan's gaze held a restrained, unspeakable longing and an obscure desire. Then, at the critical moment, he would suddenly turn distant and cold. * The three-year deadline arrived, but Lan Shanyuan still insisted on attending the disciple-recruitment banquet, a trap in all but name. It seemed everything was set in stone. The demonic nature in Wen Zeyi had already reached his very bones. As he lost consciousness, he grabbed Lan Shanyuan's hand with trembling fingers and accidentally confessed what was in his heart. “Senior Brother, if you're looking for a cultivation partner, would you be willing to walk this path with me?” * Wen Zeyi passed out. Naturally, he had no idea that on that day, as rain poured down, the man who seemed like an immortal banished to earth cared for him in their little home for seven days and nights without changing out of his clothes. His eyes were red at the corners, and he never let go of Wen Zeyi's hand. Leaving the so-called Child of Heaven kneeling in the rain. * Lan Shanyuan was very conflicted about his junior martial brother. For three reasons. One: he had transmigrated here, and he had a mission to complete. Two: to complete his mission and survive, he had to follow the path of proving the Dao by killing his husband. Three: outside of his plans, he had already fallen in love with his junior martial brother. If he first accepted the wicked disciple, let him stab him straight through, and then confessed his feelings to his junior martial brother, would that count as completing his mission to kill his former husband? But his junior martial brother didn't want him to take a disciple. His junior martial brother looked so good when he smiled, and even when he didn't. He didn't want to make him sad. Lan Shanyuan was very troubled by this. [A note before you read] 1. What Wen Zeyi thinks: "Crazy x aloof, beautiful master, but I'm a disposable extra" What Lan Shanyuan thinks: "Ascend to immortality, sever all ties, and die at the hands of my disciple" What actually happens: "A few things you should know about me and my senior/junior brother" 2. The scumbag disciple gong from the original book won't get his way, and the physical and emotional abuse described in the blurb won't happen. This is essentially a sweet two-person romance in a dog-blood plot disguise, with a dual-transmigration, 1v1 main couple, and a senior-and-junior martial brother romance. 3. The gong is sickly but not weak. The shou is dark and unhinged. Extreme possessiveness, proceed with caution. Dreaming about the gong or shou is not welcome. Please respect this couple. (bows) A preview of another historical fantasy "The Dragon-Slaying Hero's Friend Who Died Young" [Cheerful, warm but unhealthily devoted gong × aloof but love-struck Dragon-Slaying Hero shou] There is always a best friend who plays the supporting role in a power fantasy about a Dragon-Slaying Hero. He comes from a prestigious family, gives the male lead his whole-hearted support, and lives on in the male lead's memories after his death. Qin Suozhi transmigrates into the role of this best friend. The System tells him his mission is to: Play the male lead's wealthy childhood friend, send spiritual stones and cultivation experience to the male lead while he's still a down-and-out rogue cultivator, then fake his death after they form a deep friendship, becoming a defining part of the male lead's journey to adulthood. * On a rainy night when he was down on his luck, a gallant young man in fine clothes and astride a fine horse ran a sword through the demon blocking the destitute male lead's path. Meeting the male lead's bleak gaze, he swiftly sheathed his sword, kicked the demon out of the way, and grinned with carefree swagger. “From now on, you've got me looking out for you!” The filthy male lead looked up at him, a glimmer of light appearing in his eyes. “...All right.” * Qin Suozhi sincerely wanted to save the male lead. He seemed carefree on the surface, but was pathologically fond of being needed by him. Being looked at so intently, with someone's undivided attention, was a feeling he'd never experienced before. So when the male lead needed money, Qin Suozhi showered him with it. When he was depressed, Qin Suozhi praised him to no end. Anyone who tried to bully him got dealt with, and anyone who insulted him got beaten up. After all that, the male lead, who had once been so aloof... ended up burying himself against Qin Suozhi's chest and refusing to come out. Qin Suozhi: ? What happened to the Dragon-Slaying Hero being the big, manly lead?! * After accidentally crossing a line with the male lead, Qin Suozhi felt he couldn't handle these feelings and decisively chose to fake his death. But when the day came, he saw the male lead trembling as he held him, begging through his tears not to die, and his heart still gave a painful thump. ...He'll live better without me, right? Thinking this, Qin Suozhi wiped the tears from the male lead's cheek and slowly closed his eyes. * When he woke again, Qin Suozhi had been reborn as the son of a wealthy family in the mortal realm, looking almost exactly like his former self. System: Host, you're awake! Since you didn't complete your last mission well enough, you'll have to make up for it by playing the male lead's second best friend who dies young! Qin Suozhi: ?? He keeps going after the same person. What am I, some kind of best-friend simulator?! System: He can't forget you from your previous life. Now he's seen you, who looks just like your former self, and plans to take you in as his sworn younger brother. Look, he's already at your door! Qin Suozhi jerked his head up. The male lead, now the ruler of both the immortal and demonic realms, sat in the main seat of his home, chatting amiably with his father. ...It looked like they were discussing selling him off. * The male lead was frighteningly unfamiliar. He had shed the awkwardness and isolation of his youth. His dark eyes fell on Qin Suozhi, and beneath the ice lay emotions that could barely be contained. “Your Excellency, Daoist Venerable.” Qin Suozhi's heart skipped a beat. He pretended to be nonchalant and smiled at him. “Would you... like to stay for a meal?” * The bad news: Once the male lead fell for a man, he never went back. Not only did he pine for Qin Suozhi for years, he also built him a memorial shrine and inscribed his memorial tablet with “My late husband, Qin Suozhi.” He was especially fond of sharing a bed with Qin Suozhi's portrait, like a male ghost had possessed him. The even worse news: Qin Suozhi realized he was about to be found out!!! [Bonus scene] Dragged into the wedding hall and inexplicably given a male wife, Qin Suozhi looked at the male lead gloomily. “...Weren't we just supposed to become sworn brothers?” The male lead looked at him coldly. “You said we'd be brothers for life. Why did you fake your death and abandon me?” Qin Suozhi: “But brothers are brothers! Brothers can't become cultivation partners!” The male lead: “Then call me brother.” Qin Suozhi: “Brother, ” The male lead, wearing a cold expression: “You smell so good.” Qin Suozhi: ...Who taught you that? The male lead: You did. Qin Suozhi: . Tsk. Looks like I'll really have to take responsibility for my brother for the rest of my life. Still, I don't mind~ Theme: Love must be built on equality.
