The Cold Master and His Adorable Disciple

Cold and heartless master on the bottom x formerly spoiled, later corrupted and violently obsessive disciple on top

Xie Tianlin is the lofty ruler of divine punishment: cold, arrogant, and distant, he looks down on every useless emotion in the world.

He is the strongest of them all, and his greatest dislikes are, first, people who are obnoxious, and second, the weak.

He especially despises children who can't protect themselves.

But he is forced to take a little human child as his disciple.

The little one is delicate and soft, has never lifted a finger around the house, and has lived in luxury since birth, surrounded by servants. He throws away an accessory if it falls on the floor, saying it's dirty, and refuses to eat unless his meal was made with the first drop of morning dew.

He's full of bad habits and has no strength to speak of.

Xie Tianlin can't stand him and sets about disciplining him.

But the child is so fragile that sleeping on the floor gives him a fever and swollen skin, a harsh word makes his eyes turn red, and leaving him alone nearly starves him to death.

Worse, the child has a special identity: Xie Tianlin can't beat or kill him, and has to take good care of him.

With a dark expression, Xie Tianlin begins the unwanted task of raising a child.

"Master, I want to watch the stars with you on the roof!"

"Get lost!"

A moment later, Xie Tianlin lifts his disciple upside down by the feet and tosses him onto the roof, murderous aura swirling around him. He sits beside him and plants his sword in the ground. "Don't let this happen again!"

"Master, hug me! I'm afraid of the dark."

"Get lost!"

A quarter of an hour later, Xie Tianlin lies in bed with the child in his arms, murderous aura swirling around him. "Don't let this happen again!"

"Master, I want some of your roast turkey."

"Get lost!"

An hour later, every kitchen in the Xingtian Palace has exploded. Xie Tianlin, wrapped in murderous aura, tosses a blackened turkey in front of his disciple. "Don't let this happen again!"

Xie Tianlin never hides how much he dislikes his disciple.

He thinks his disciple will fear him, hate him, or even take revenge on him.

But he doesn't know that his quiet indulgence beneath that disdain is the deadliest kind of attraction.

Every time he grants his disciple's wish, he lights a spark in the boy's heart.

Until the sparks become an inferno, blazing into a love that consumes him to the bone.

Seven years ago, when the Demon Dragon was born, Xie Tianlin risked his life to seal him away.

The Demon Dragon hated him to the bone.

Many years later, the Demon Dragon broke free, and a torrent of bloody flames raced toward Xie Tianlin.

Everyone thought a battle was inevitable.

The Demon Dragon was a calamity to the world, at the height of his power. Even Xie Tianlin was no match for him.

But as surging demonic energy wrapped around Xie Tianlin, a familiar voice sounded beside his ear:

"Master, long time no see."

The top is delicate and weak at first, but becomes the strongest later.

The bottom remains the strongest throughout. They are evenly matched.
