Falling for My 'Old Man' Master

Lu Bang transmigrated into a book and suddenly discovered that he was the master in a danmei novel!

As a straight man, even though he'd transmigrated into a max-level powerhouse, protecting himself was still extremely difficult. To make matters worse, he had no idea who the male lead was. Remembering that male leads in this genre were often stunningly beautiful, he used a little magic to turn himself into an old man. He was so ugly and decrepit that whenever people in the cultivation world mentioned him, they only spoke of his lofty reputation and nothing else.

He was the sort to lie flat, and had planned to coast through life. But then he got bound to a broken System with nothing but a bare screen. One night, the System alarm went off, and Lu Bang stared at his steadily decreasing life points, lost in thought.

Wen Ruyu had a miserable childhood. He stumbled into a disciple-selection ceremony, where the highly respected Immortal Master Lu chose him at first sight. Immortal Master Lu treated him very well. But he was obviously so handsome, so why did everyone say he was old and ugly? Young Wen Ruyu was baffled.

Years later, the handsome young man leaned close to his master, fingers entwined with his, and whispered, "It would be such a shame to keep this face from the world. Don't you agree, Master?"

Lu Bang broke down. He should never have held that disciple-selection ceremony!

Scheming, sweet-talking, devoted disciple x extremely laid-back, looks-obsessed, lazy bottom

As Immortal Master Lu's eldest disciple, Wen Ruyu was famous for saying one thing and meaning another. Just one glance from him could send chills down a person's spine. Beneath his graceful, gentle smile was a heart as cruel as a snake's. Who would have guessed that in front of Lu Bang, he was a whimpering crybaby who loved leaning against his master's knees?

Upcoming: "What Should I Do When the Little Snake I Picked Up Is an Interstellar Alliance Officer? [Interstellar]"

"I volunteer to join the resistance and dedicate my life to the supreme cause of humanity... For freedom, even death is a kind of life."

With overwhelming technological power, Blue Star seized Earth's resources. After decades of resistance, the remaining humans gathered in the resource-poor Arctic and Antarctic regions and the desert lands. The human government reached an agreement with the Blue Star civilization, offering a certain amount of labor each year in exchange for the bare minimum needed to survive.

Chen Yin transmigrated into an angsty novel as the substitute white moonlight abandoned by the scum gong. That scum gong even wanted to throw away the little pet snake he'd picked up.

Chen Yin, who knew the plot: ...

He stroked the little snake's head and comforted it. "Don't be scared. Let's go."

The scum gong: "You think you can survive in the slums without me?"

The little snake: Spits out gold coins.

Chen Yin: Huh?

The little snake: Spits out a huge pile of gold coins.

--Had he adopted a Pixiu?

The gong is based on a feathered serpent and can take human form, with both a boy form and an adult form.

The first half is all gentle pet-raising and daily life. The second half...

Gentle, socially anxious shou x cold, ruthless gong

The gong is cold to everyone else but extremely gentle with the shou.

The romance is angst-free overall. The gong loses his memory early on, and once it returns later, he'll use a secret identity to tease the shou.

Theme: Slay demons and exorcise evil, and uphold justice in the cultivation world.
