Pei Zhiyu has been reborn again.
He sat at the Immortal Realm's disciple selection ceremony once more, numb to it all. This was his fourth rebirth.
He had a vague idea that he was a supporting character in a book, and that the disciple he was about to take in was none other than the sole male protagonist: Chu Xingzhi.
If Chu Xingzhi could just follow the normal plot of the book, Pei Zhiyu wouldn't be so troubled.
Something had gone wrong with Chu Xingzhi... He always wanted to have his way with his master.
*
In his first life, Pei Zhiyu became the background-character master with a golden finger, just as he had in the original book.
Chu Xingzhi thought Pei Zhiyu's indifferent attitude meant he looked down on him. His twisted heart led him to have his way with his master.
In his second life, Pei Zhiyu sensed something was wrong and became a gentle, considerate, patient master.
Chu Xingzhi successfully fell in love with him, then naturally had his way with his master.
In his third life, Pei Zhiyu simply became a strict master, maintaining the boundaries between master and disciple and treating him like a father or older brother would.
Chu Xingzhi couldn't understand why his master was kind to everyone else but never smiled at him. Burning with jealousy, he had his way with his master again.
*
By his fourth rebirth, Pei Zhiyu had completely run out of patience. Chu Xingzhi joined his sect just as he had in the previous three lives.
This time, so the male protagonist could get on with the plot, Pei Zhiyu made a brilliant decision.
"Isn't having your way with me what you want?"
Chu Xingzhi: ?
"I agree. Go ahead."
