Yan Xiujin died, killed off by the plot.
Only after his death did he learn that the world he lived in was a book. His eldest disciple was the protagonist, who would overcome countless trials to become the strongest cultivator in the world.
And he was merely a stumbling block in the protagonist's path: he had humiliated and bullied the protagonist, and would eventually be killed by him.
But he had never done any of those things. Even so, he was forcibly erased.
Reborn, he treasured his life more than ever.
Who could have guessed he would become incredibly unlucky? He had barely woken up when his eldest disciple caught him, and even drinking water was a struggle.
Soon, he realized something was wrong with the plot of this world.
He had become everyone's target.
The protagonist, who was supposed to hate him to the core, spent every day searching for him.
The younger disciple, who was supposed to die early in the book, cried and insisted on protecting him.
Even his former lover, who had beaten him until his soul scattered, came looking for him.
He got struck by lightning while cultivating, choked on a spiritual pill, and even the stray dogs he passed barked at him.
Yan Xiujin: ...Bring it on, all of you!
*Romance-focused blurb:
Yan Xiujin died unjustly.
As he lay dying, only his youngest disciple stayed by his side.
Yan Xiujin once asked his youngest disciple, "If I survive this calamity, would you leave with me?"
The disciple agreed, but in the end, it never came to pass.
After returning to life, Yan Xiujin thought his youngest disciple would stay by his side. Instead, a stranger appeared.
This person knew his likes and dislikes and helped him several times, making Yan Xiujin increasingly curious about him. But the stranger wore a mask and wouldn't let anyone see his face.
Later, Yan Xiujin discovered that everyone connected to him had been "bothered" by this person to some degree.
Then the stranger was gravely wounded. As Yan Xiujin stood by his side, he heard the man murmur, "Master."
When he took off the mask, it was his youngest disciple!
"Master, don't be angry. I did all this for your sake. You spent yourself worrying and working for people who hurt you, and got nothing in return. It breaks my heart."
"Anyone who covets you deserves to suffer."
