[The lazy, unambitious eldest disciple who only likes to eat, Yun Qiu, vs. the controlling, fastidious, refined beauty and great demon lord, Wen Ren Jing]
Yun Qiu was kicked into a lake by his third junior brother. After three days and nights of fever, he awakened.
In a dream, he learned that the world he lived in was merely a story written by someone else, and that he was the cannon-fodder eldest disciple of the faction to which the story's protagonist belonged.
In this story, despite being the eldest disciple, he was weak in cultivation, cowardly, and a hypocrite.
As Lingyun Sect's eldest personal disciple, he was not only lazy about cultivation and consumed by jealousy of his junior fellow disciple, but also secretly practiced demonic cultivation, moved between the demon and monster realms, served their inhabitants, and wreaked havoc in the cultivation world.
He pretended to be a good person but could turn against others at any moment. He was ruthless enough to kill fellow sect members and had no principles whatsoever.
In the end, after the various sects united to hunt him down, he shamelessly returned to his sect seeking protection, only to be run through by his junior fellow disciple's sword and killed for good.
But the plot hadn't started yet, and the master who had taken the protagonist junior brother on a journey was still three years away from returning.
There was still time to change everything.
Convinced that he had time to save himself, Yun Qiu spent a year cultivating in seclusion. Once his cultivation had improved, he descended the mountain, planning to avoid the time when the plot began, spend less time with his junior brother, and steer clear of the demon and monster clans. He was sure he could live a peaceful life.
But who could have told him that the pretty boy he picked up was the Demon Realm's lord?
That the child he casually rescued was the Monster King?
That his junior brother would return to the sect ahead of schedule and keep showing up in front of him to make his presence known???
The plot hadn't just moved ahead of schedule. It had become such a chaotic mess that you could practically eat it while it was still hot.
Yun Qiu figured that if things were already a mess, he might as well let them be. It had nothing to do with him. But when he found himself tied up like a parcel for the third time, he was utterly stunned.
How could he have become one of the strongest cultivators in the cultivation world and still get captured by the great demon lord again and again?
The cries of his junior brothers rang through the sect and echoed across the heavens: “The eldest senior brother has been captured again!”

They say the eldest son of the Qin family is gravely ill and close to death.
Old Master Qin had consulted renowned doctors from all over the country and abroad, but none of them could help. All he could do was wait for his son to die.
The Qin family was wealthy and influential, and there were plenty of rumors swirling around. Somehow, word got out that the eldest son had been secretly cursed with a vicious spell, causing him to lose all his good fortune and fall gravely ill.
When Old Master Qin heard the rumor, he slammed the table and denounced superstition one minute, then placed appeals for help in major newspapers the next.
But fate was unkind, and one con after another took him for a fool.
Old Master Qin had lost all hope and was preparing for his son's funeral when a letter arrived, claiming there was a way to save him.
The sender said they would take no payment, but had one condition: once the eldest Qin son recovered, the Qin family had to adopt their disciple, Bai Huai. They didn't need to give the boy anything special, as long as they didn't let him starve.
The sole condition seemed so absurd that even Old Master Qin found it hard to believe.
More absurd still, before he could agree, a servant announced that an expert claiming to be able to save his son had arrived and was waiting in the parlor.
Almost instinctively, Old Master Qin turned to the next page of the letter.
There was only one line: My disciple Bai Huai has arrived at your residence. Feed him until he's full, and he will be able to treat your son. Your son will recover within seven days.
Old Master Qin marveled: Even a dog wouldn't get delivered this fast!

After the Qin family adopted a child who had appeared out of nowhere, the eldest Qin son's life-threatening illness rapidly improved. Seven days later, he was well enough to receive visitors.
Some people said the Qin family had found a male bride to bring their son good fortune and prolong his life.
But most said this wasn't about bringing good fortune at all. The family had adopted a child to trade lives with him. As the eldest Qin son's health improved, the child would grow weaker and eventually die. With the Qin family's power, they could take care of it without anyone noticing.
The rumors grew wilder by the day.
But as time passed, people noticed that the child supposedly adopted as a sacrifice hadn't died. In fact, the whole Qin family spoiled him until he was plump, rosy-cheeked, and beautiful.
Only then did everyone realize with astonishment: They really had adopted a boy as a bride to bring their son good fortune!
