Self-deluded, wildly imaginative, devoted puppy-dog gong X seductive, aloof beauty shou
Hua Yuran, a born office worker, dies from working overtime and transmigrates into the body of a cold, beautiful immortal venerable who died young.
System: Host, you can survive as long as you diligently train a young man named Shi Shujuan before the Demon Lord awakens.
Looking at Shi Shujuan, whom he had brought back, Hua Yuran decides... first, to make a plan to keep his first disciple alive until ascension
Get up at the hour of the Rabbit every day and rest at the hour of the Rat. After work... ahem, after cultivation, write a report on your progress.
Write a 3,000-word weekly summary. At the end of each month, prepare a PowerPoint presentation on that month's cultivation results and set goals for the next month!
(The boss's empty formalities.)
Anyone who fails to meet their monthly targets will have 500 spirit stones deducted. (The boss's exploitation.)
Anyone who exceeds their targets will receive a verbal commendation at the morning meeting. (The boss's empty promises.)
Anyone falling behind will receive a verbal reprimand at the morning meeting. (The boss's psychological manipulation.)
Work eight days, rest one. (The boss's sense of time.)
Having finished the survival plan, Hua Yuran is quite pleased and decides to implement this cultivation method across the entire sect!
(If I had to suffer through the rain, everyone else should too.)
System: Even the donkeys on an assembly line don't work this hard.
Hua Yuran: What do you know? This is the upgraded version of the ultimate 996 work schedule! This cultivation method is sure to keep me alive!
Under Hua Yuran's diligent training (ruthless exploitation), the sect breaks into the top ten at the Immortal Alliance Grand Tournament.
Shi Shujuan: "Master, I came in first this time. Can I get a different kind of verbal praise?"
Hua Yuran: "A different kind... mmph!"
Why has my perfectly good disciple suddenly turned gay?!
Before Hua Yuran can even react, the System's alarm suddenly blares: Host! Something's gone wrong with your trainee! The person in front of you is your archenemy, the Demon Lord!
Hua Yuran's vision goes black as he looks at Shi Shujuan, whose eyes are moist and whose clothes are half open.
Is there still time to run?
System: I recommend trying a different way to survive, Host, like dual cultivation. It's great!

This is the Demon Lord Shi Shujuan's 981st time being reborn. He has decided to make the whole world perish alongside him and kill every member of the righteous sects.
But unlike all his previous rebirths, an immortal named Hua Yuran brings him back to his sect.
Shi Shujuan: Good. Once we're back, I'll kill you and sacrifice you to my spirit weapon.
But after returning, Shi Shujuan discovers that Hua Yuran is unlike any righteous cultivator he has ever known.
Hua Yuran teaches him with care, prepares birthday presents for him, and gently comforts him when nightmares wake him.
Shi Shujuan seems to understand in an instant what his endless rebirths were all for.
He has fallen hopelessly in love with his own master.
