The Sickly Beauty Master Was Reborn

Only after Xie Sui died of illness did he learn that he was the white moonlight of all sorts of villains in a novel.

After his death, the young protagonist Gu Lingfeng was kidnapped and made into his substitute:

His handsome features were altered through bone shaving and tendon grafting until he looked seven-tenths like Xie Sui. His spiritual roots were destroyed and his cultivation ruined, all because Xie Sui was a sickly beauty.

Xie Sui couldn't bear to see an innocent person suffer because of him.

So he was reborn, with a System added to his mind.

The System said: “Please balance the villains' possessiveness and lower the protagonist's corruption level.”

Every villain in the book treated him with the utmost tenderness.

His senior fellow disciple was as radiant as the moon, his peach blossom eyes gentle as water. “What would you like to eat? I'll make it for you.”

His junior fellow disciple moved like the wind. He stood before Xie Sui with sword in hand and said proudly, “Stand back. I'll come find you after I've dealt with this trash.”

His friend narrowed his phoenix eyes, propped up his chin, and smiled charmingly. “Just tell me what you want. Or should I buy this whole city and give it to you?”

As Xie Sui maneuvered among them all, he did everything he could to protect Gu Lingfeng.

Only after balancing everyone's possessiveness toward him did he secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

But before he could withdraw, a hand grabbed his shoulder and turned him around.

The protagonist, whom he had protected without a scratch, was usually silent, but now his eyes were bloodshot and his voice hoarse.

“I'm obviously the person closest to you. Why are they the only ones you see?”

Gu Lingfeng knew he was a substitute.

He had been kidnapped by those sanctimonious people to be used as a cauldron, and tortured, all because of the person they spoke of who had long since died of illness.

After being reborn, Gu Lingfeng had calculated countless times how to kill each of his enemies from his previous life.

But after waiting for a long time, the nightmares of his previous life never came to pass.

All he waited for was a glass-like beauty who looked down at him and said, “Be my disciple. I'll protect you.”

Gu Lingfeng took him for a hypocrite, accepted with a cheerful smile, called him “Master” to his face, and inwardly wished he would die of illness as soon as possible.

He poured away his medicine, watching him lie awake all night from pain, his thin shirt soaked with sweat;

He hid during a stormy, snowy night, watching him search everywhere for him in the freezing cold, his sickly body wracked by endless coughing up blood;

He broke the sword Xie Sui had forged for him with his own hands, threw the broken sword before him, and watched confusion and sorrow rise in his eyes.

Everyone said Xie Sui had raised an ungrateful wretch.

But Xie Sui acted as if he knew nothing, using his ailing body again and again to shield Gu Lingfeng from the storm.

Gu Lingfeng watched him, and at some point the resentment in his heart changed into something else.

Xie Sui personally helped Gu Lingfeng rise to the position of Sword Venerable, watching him obtain everything he had never received in his previous life.

At last, when the System announced, “Mission complete,” he calmly withdrew from his sickly body.

But he didn't know that after he changed bodies and retired to a quiet life among mortals, Gu Lingfeng went mad.

He searched all three realms for medicine that could bring him back to life, willingly fell into demonic cultivation and abandoned all his power, and was even willing to carve away his own flesh and scrape his bones, all to make Xie Sui open his eyes again.
