When Xie Hui was parasitized by something called the Abandon Goodness, Embrace Evil System, and had to endure its daily, incessant nagging to hurry up, abandon his moral principles, and become a hypocrite, he could just about put up with it.
Then he ran into a powerful cultivator who was determined to kill him, no matter what.
Ordinary outer-sect disciple Xie Hui: So, why are you trying to kill me?
Gu Lin: You’ll ascend to the throne of Immortal Emperor one day. No one will know that you’re a hypocrite, outwardly just and benevolent but inwardly harboring the mad ambition to sacrifice all living beings. I have to stop you.
Xie Hui: So you’re from, uh, the future? Then who are you?
Gu Lin: ...I’m your subordinate.
Gu Lin, overcome with emotion: You deceived me for so many years... I’m going to kill you! I traveled back to the past to kill you and stop you from doing what you will!
Xie Hui looked at him, sensing that something was off.
Why did this guy’s behavior seem less like they had some deep-seated grudge, and more like... a romantic debt???
There is definitely something wrong with this guy!
This is a story about a scheming top who gives up on destroying the world (?) to keep his loyal, puppy-like bottom from turning evil.
