Transmigrated as Long Aotian to Save My Darkened Master

Blurb

Ying Zhi wrote a long fantasy novel about an invincible hero on a certain website. The protagonist had the same name as him.

But the book flopped so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize it.

To attract readers, Ying Zhi forcibly turned the protagonist's aloof master, who was powerful and beautiful but had never suffered, into a major villain who would turn evil later in the story.

As soon as the chapter went live, a flood of notifications exploded in Ying Huai's inbox.

He opened them to find nothing but scathing reviews.

"Is the author out of his mind? Gong Chenyu cherishes the world and takes such good care of his disciple, Ying Zhi. How could he ever do something that would destroy the world!"

"I can't take this anymore. I have to curse the author first. What a f**king idiot. Does he think he's the protagonist or something, writing such f**ked-up plotlines!"

Ying Zhi's vision went black. When he woke, an ethereal-looking man stood before him. With his eyes lowered, he resembled a merciful Buddha. In a calm voice, he asked, "Your family is dead. Would you be willing to become my disciple and cultivate with me?"

At the same time, a cheerful woman's voice suddenly rang out in his mind.

[Congratulations, Host! You have successfully bound to the System to Save Your Master from Corruption!!! Let the celebration begin!!!]

It turned out that Ying Zhi had transmigrated into the novel he wrote. By a strange coincidence, he had become the protagonist, who shared his name.

The System's mission for him was to stop his master, Gong Chenyu, from turning evil and slaughtering all living beings. Otherwise, Ying Zhi would die.

Ying Zhi couldn't hold back and started swearing up a storm, bringing everyone's mothers into it.

His master merely glanced over, and Ying Zhi's lips instantly stuck together. He couldn't say another word.

From then on, Ying Zhi embarked on a grand campaign to care for his master.

Whenever he saw even the slightest sign of displeasure on Gong Chenyu's face, he would do whatever it took to cheer him up.

Everyone believed Gong Chenyu would cultivate into an immortal, but they knew nothing of the struggle deep within him.

Seeing the people displaced and wicked men running rampant, he wanted to save the common folk. But how could one man save an entire world in chaos?

In the end, his Dao heart fell into ruin. He joined forces with evil, hoping to remake the world by such means.

Unexpectedly, someone suddenly stepped in front of him. Gong Chenyu's gaze turned sharp, black energy swirling around him as he pointed his sword at the man. "Get out of the way, or I'll kill you too."

Ying Zhi stepped toward the sword's point, his voice gentle. "I won't stand in Master's way. You can do whatever you want."

The woman in his mind shrieked without pause: [Alert! Alert! Mission failure imminent! Host, do your best to save it!!!]

After the piercing alarm, Ying Huai felt a sharp pain in his chest and spat out blood. As Gong Chenyu stared at him in shock, he pulled something from his robe.

He opened his palm. Inside lay a pear blossom petal stained red with blood. "Master, look. The pear tree we planted has blossomed. Soon we'll be able to eat pears..."

That day, the world was dyed a deep, inescapable red. The people, gripped by fear, saw only the murderous man, covered in blood, holding the other man in his arms and weeping in anguish, as if his own heart had died with him.
