Proud, noble, beautiful master bottom X defiant, ambitious disciple top
Jiang Wenxian, a once-in-a-thousand-years cultivation prodigy, couldn't understand even as his soul was scattered how half the people in his perfectly respectable sect could have fallen to demonic cultivation.
Spring turned to autumn. A hundred years later, he gathered his spirit in a single day and became a half-immortal after a tremendous tribulation.
When he opened his eyes again, his old sect had crumbled to dust, almost all his former friends were gone, and the other sects were on the brink of ruin. His former disciple, Lou Wuya, had also gone to serve another master.
He had to uncover the truth and restore his body. Taking the alias Liu Qingming and concealing his half-immortal powers, Jiang Wenxian set out in search of magical artifacts and medicines that could stabilize his soul and gather spiritual energy. By chance, he ran into Lou Wuya on the road and discovered signs that he too was becoming a demon.
What does it feel like when both your master and your disciple become demons? Jiang Wenxian's feelings were complicated. Fortunately, Lou Wuya had only just begun to succumb, so perhaps there was still time to save him.
After spending some time together, Jiang Wenxian suggested, "Why don't you become my disciple?"
Lou Wuya curled his lip. "No. Unless you want a disciple who'll betray and kill his master."
The words sounded familiar, but Jiang Wenxian couldn't remember why. He also couldn't be bothered to invite trouble... But later, even after Lou Wuya recognized him, why wouldn't he call him Master?
Had he cast off respect and propriety along with his demonic blood?
--
Late at night, Lou Wuya looked back on the past hundred years. At first, he'd admired Jiang Wenxian, then he'd fallen for him, and after Jiang Wenxian died, all that remained was a love too deep to let go.
He shouldn't have become his disciple in the first place. Then at least he could have told him everything he felt and thought.
Now the person he'd longed for day and night had returned. He would help him crush the corrupt and tear apart the darkness, then pull him into his arms and never let go.
