As a top tycoon who had once rung the bell at the Nasdaq, Gu Xuanwei had never imagined that one day he would transmigrate into a book.
He found himself in a cultivation novel, as Immortal Venerable Xuanwei, of the number-one sect in the cultivation world. He had three exceptionally gifted disciples, all of whom were destined to ascend to immortality one day.
Always one to cherish talent, Gu Xuanwei decided to make the best of things. He would cultivate diligently and lead by example, setting a good model for his three disciples. That way, after the four of them ascended together, perhaps they could help him find a way home.
However, one day, as Gu Xuanwei sat quietly meditating, a [Master-Saving System] suddenly appeared in his mind.
The System told him he was merely a special 18+ limited-edition Jinjiang master in a novel from Huashi. One by one, his three wicked disciples would lock him away and keep him in a steamy state for thousands of years, subjecting him to every kind of physical and emotional torment.
Gu Xuanwei: ??? And then?
System: Then you will sacrifice yourself to save all living beings, giving your life for the Dao to quell the three realms war caused by your three beloved disciples.
Gu Xuanwei: ???
After several days of deep thought, Gu Xuanwei came to his senses!
He refused to be that unlucky special-edition Huashi Jinjiang master. He would follow the example of the masters in male-oriented Qidian novels!
Gu Xuanwei would bring out the drive he had once used to manage a Fortune Global 500 company! He would become the strongest ruler in the cultivation world and make sure those three wicked disciples could never stir up trouble again!
Gu Xuanwei stopped being kind and gentle. Every day, he whipped his ruler until it cracked through the air, and every few days he would berate his disciples until they were thoroughly cowed.
He borrowed the child-raising plans of Haidian mothers and drew up the strictest cultivation KPIs. Using the 007 efficiency of a major internet company, he worked his three wicked disciples to the bone, leaving them no energy for their outrageous and filthy thoughts.
Before long, Gu Xuanwei became the fierce, abnormal master everyone in the cultivation world feared.
But his three beloved disciples started looking at him more and more strangely.
The eldest disciple presented the ruler with both hands: "Master, please beat me."
The second disciple was always deliberately making mistakes: "Master, please scold me."
The silly little disciple was the most guileless of all. He could only transform into a fluffy nine-tailed fox and whine coyly in Gu Xuanwei's lap: "Master! Hug me!"
Gu Xuanwei, who had devoted himself to raising his disciples: ...I'm tired! I can't raise them anymore! Maybe the world should just end!
Gu Xuanwei despaired of his three hopeless disciples and prepared to fake his death and run away.
But one night, his usually obedient little disciple suddenly climbed into Gu Xuanwei's room and looked up at him pitifully. "Master, why don't you hug me while we sleep anymore?"
Faced with a nine-tailed fox demon whose charm was at the highest level, Gu Xuanwei tripped up. He condemned King Zhou, questioned King Zhou, understood King Zhou, and ultimately became King Zhou.
The next day, the future Demon Emperor stared at the fox fur scattered all over the room and his own nine damp tails, lost in thought.
He had always had feelings for his master, but why hadn't things gone the way he expected?
And most importantly! Where had his master, who should have been sleeping, gone?!
