Mu Lingbi had a crush on Pei Shu, the leader of Yunji Mountain, but was born twenty years too late. He'd heard that Pei Shu took on his first personal disciple twenty years ago, and that teacher and disciple fell in love over time. They were only waiting for the disciple to reach the Nascent Soul stage before becoming cultivation partners.
When he was sixteen, he begged Sect Leader Pei in tears to let him stay for one night, but was still sent away from Yunji Mountain to return home and inherit Xianxia Island.
Twenty years later, Pei Shu's first disciple, Lin Jin, successfully reached the Nascent Soul stage. Mu Lingbi got drunk on his island for another whole night, waiting for an invitation so he could attend Pei Shu's wedding, see him one last time, and finally give up.
But a few days later, instead of a wedding invitation from Pei Shu, he received news that Lin Jin had betrayed his master and run away
Supposedly, Lin Jin had become involved with a demon from the demonic sect, wounded Pei Shu for that person, and declared that he was severing ties with his master!
In a fit of rage, Mu Lingbi grabbed a sack and rushed to Yunji Mountain.
That ungrateful bastard dared to toy with Pei Shu and abandon him? Fine, then. He'd kidnap Pei Shu and keep him for himself!

Sect Leader Pei Shu of Yunji Mountain once took in a sweet little dumpling, a child who had run away from home on Xianxia Island. Pure and adorable, the child stayed in his hall for three months and spent every day getting jealous of his eldest disciple.
Later, the sweet little dumpling went home and became the island lord, never to return. For twenty years, he didn't reply to a single one of Pei Shu's letters.
Then his disciple left, too, accusing him of being unfeeling and saying he wanted to roam the wide world with his friend from the demonic sect.
Sect Leader Pei was left alone in his empty hall, sighing helplessly.
Fortunately, only a few days after his disciple left, the sweet little dumpling from years ago, now the young island lord Mu, returned. Just as he had in childhood, he followed Pei Shu around during the day and squeezed into his bed at night.
When a man and a man spend enough time together, it's inevitable that affection will grow.
One day, Pei Shu was accidentally afflicted with a love gu. The sweet little dumpling stayed with him in a passionate tangle for three days while dispelling it, and when Pei Shu awoke, he was already on Xianxia Island.
The hand that wielded his sword was bound with a Dragon-Binding Lock. The undersea chamber had only gorgeous luminous pearls and a soft bed.
The sweet little dumpling could barely stand, yet declared that he would keep Pei Shu trapped for the rest of his life. Later, drunk and red-eyed, he raised a sword and demanded:
“Were you just as indulgent with your disciple, letting him have whatever he wanted?
“During those three days and three nights of dispelling the peach blossom gu, were you thinking of me or your beloved disciple?
“He wounded you and ran off with someone else. He doesn't love you at all! I love you so much. Why can't you look at me?”
Sect Leader Pei: “...Huh? Me and my disciple?”
He'd thought the sweet little dumpling was upset because Pei Shu had taken his innocence, so he'd been doing everything he could to soothe him and had agreed to marry him.
How could he not love such an adorable sweet little dumpling?

Before running away after betraying his master, Lin Jin thought his master was rigid and meddlesome, always trying to control what friends he made. It was so annoying.
A friend told him his master had always been dispassionate and equally kind to everyone. If he ever sought a cultivation partner, it would probably be Lin Jin himself.
Lin Jin was shocked. Lin Jin was terrified. Lin Jin resisted.
That day, with his friend trapped, Lin Jin sought freedom and tried to preserve their friendship by cutting ties with his master and running away after betraying him.
He really couldn't become his master's cultivation partner!
Later, Lin Jin regretted it.
It turned out all of this had been a scheme by a demon lord targeting his master, who wanted to drag the righteous gentleman into the demonic path.
He parted ways with his treacherous friend and wanted to apologize to his master. But could they discuss the whole cultivation-partner thing?
But who could have guessed that the leader of Yunji Mountain was going to marry the lord of Xianxia Island?
Everyone said they were a match made in heaven, a perfect couple blessed with wealth and beauty.
