After His Dark Transformation, He Got the Everyone-Loves-Him Script

[Complete; chapter comments are open] [Plot-driven + ensemble cast]

After Yuling, whose personality was so much like his own, joined the sect, Yulin's unruly behavior was finally whipped into shape.

He watched helplessly as the master who had raised him smiled at Yuling, and his beloved senior brother granted Yuling's every wish. It made Yulin seem like an outsider.

Later, when the senior brothers and sisters who loved him most died in a secret realm of the demonic sect, he was left with no one to rely on in the Floating Life Sect. Amid endless belittlement and favoritism, he died in misery.

But when he opened his eyes, he had been reborn ten years earlier, on the day Yuling joined the sect.

This time, Yulin met Yuling before he had joined the sect. He looked at him with a sneer. What a bindweed, only good at acting sweet and obedient.

If acting sweet is all it takes, who can't do that?

Beneath the Returning Heart Terrace, Yulin's shoulders trembled, his eyes reddened at the corners. His foxlike eyes were brimming with tears, utterly alluring. His voice caught with barely restrained sobs, making him sound sweet and meek.

The next moment, his senior brother pulled him into his arms and said, “My darling, how could I ever abandon you?”

He coaxed him with such tender words, yet failed to see the chill hidden in the shadows as Yulin lowered his eyes.

-

He had grown disillusioned with the master who favored his substitute, and deliberately kept his distance.

But then his godlike master grabbed his hand, eyes wild, and refused to let go even as his fingers turned white. With red-rimmed eyes, he told Yulin he loved him and asked the questions left unanswered in their previous life.

Yulin gave a light laugh, his eyes utterly calm.

He forcibly pried the master's fingers off, one by one, then curled his lips and leaned close to whisper, “I hate you. I regret ever meeting you. Are you satisfied?”

-

He had long yearned for those beautiful black eyes, and willingly let the innocent, radiant little cultivator lure him home.

But one night, as darkness fell, he saw a blurred figure in the woods strike with a decisive slash.

The indistinct silhouette looked just like the infamous Demon Lord. Then the person turned around, as if sensing his presence.

Those cold eyes were both familiar and strange, but the face was unmistakably that of his gentle, considerate beloved.

Yulin: ...

#Who knew my beloved was actually a great demon king?#

[An intimidating wolf cub gong who acts sweet only for his master x a slow-on-the-uptake, unaware, refined beauty of a master shou]

Qingyun, the leader of the righteous path, had never taken a disciple before. At the sect's grand gathering, he took in a wolf cub with no family backing.

Many people told him Wen Jining seemed cold, distant, and wary, and would surely never warm up to anyone.

But Qingyun couldn't understand why. Wen Jining was obedient with him, bringing hot soup to his hall every day and following close behind him wherever he went. He even carefully guarded the jewels Qingyun had given him, never letting anyone else touch them.

He was so obedient. Were those people just making things up?

It wasn't until Wen Jining kept interfering with his conversations with his childhood friend, hinted around to ask whether he had any other disciples, and subtly tried to draw him into his arms that Qingyun sensed something was off.

*

Wen Jining found it grating to see Qingyun coming and going with his childhood friend. His heart sank whenever he saw Qingyun smile at someone else.

He thought he might have fallen in love with Qingyun.

Before testing Qingyun's feelings, he overheard him sneering to an elder, “If I discover the young master of the demon clan, I'll deal with him before he can act. Just you wait.”

Wen Jining's heart sank, and his hand suddenly shook. His teacup hit the floor with a crash.

His master didn't know that he was the young master of the demon clan.

He began to tread carefully. When the demon clan ordered him to set a trap, he silently left a way out along the path Qingyun would have to take, but did not show himself.

When Qingyun laid a banquet to lure the young master of the demon clan out, Wen Jining showed up as usual, but used his intimate knowledge of Qingyun's habits to leave just as he was one step away.

He took care not to let Qingyun notice anything amiss, and returned to the sect with his usual obedient demeanor.

Until one day, while he was out adventuring with his fellow disciples, he learned that the sect had sent Qingyun a letter asking him to take another disciple.

His master was going to take someone else as a disciple.

*

Qingyun thought he would send that person away once everything was over, and they could part on good terms. The young master of the demon clan was supposed to come tonight, and Qingyun wanted to see who he really was.

But as the door swung open in the depths of night, Wen Jining walked in, though he should have been out on an adventure.

Wen Jining closed in step by step, pinning him in his arms. Turmoil surged in his eyes.

“Master... Didn't you say I was your only disciple? Why are you taking someone else?”

“Because I'm the young master of the demon clan, you don't want me anymore?”
