How Awesome Is It to Be Reborn as the Villainous Demon Lord?

There was a demon in the cultivation world, said to have a face like a rakshasa and to kill without batting an eye. The righteous immortal Jiang Buyan had suppressed him within Soulbreak Cliff, at the cost of killing his own master.

Unfortunately, Yun Guxian transmigrated into the demon.

Yun Guxian's idea of life as a demon: everyone would want him dead.

The reality: What a joke. With his peerless cultivation, even severely weakened, no one could beat him.

The demon broke free of his seal, throwing the world into panic. The immortal Jiang Buyan, the only one who could seal him again, had gone into seclusion and vanished without a trace.

Yun Guxian roamed freely throughout the Three Realms every day. Even ancient ferocious beasts gave him a wide berth.

Then one day, his disciple, the leader of the righteous sects, came out of seclusion.

Away from prying eyes, he easily saw through Yun Guxian's disguise and pointed a sword at him.

Yun Guxian: “?” Brother, dear disciple, let's talk this out.

His disciple didn't kill him outright, but personally imprisoned him and stayed by his side every moment of the day.

The righteous sects were delighted. Yun Guxian was deeply troubled.

How on earth could he get rid of this heartless fellow?

One day, the righteous sects devised a formation capable of reducing him to dust. They no longer needed the immortal to kill him.

But his usually cold and composed disciple went mad, throwing himself in front of Yun Guxian and defying the entire world. He used his own body as the formation's vessel and, drenched in blood, destroyed the killing formation.

Jiang Buyan knelt before him. Before collapsing, he smiled at Yun Guxian for the first time and kissed the back of his hand. “Your disciple won't bother you anymore. Master, you're free.”

Yun Guxian: “???”

Amnesia and secret-crush tropes. A goofy, sickly uke X a beautiful, tragic, devoted seme.

The uke is the original demon, and there's more to what happened back then. The seme never hurt the uke. Every supporting character gets their just deserts.

The title comes from Li Bai's “The lone cloud drifts at ease, and we never tire of looking at each other.”
