The Infinite-Flow Big Shot's Attempt to Take on a Disciple Backfires

[A beautiful, world-weary, madly obsessive master who is the receiving partner, and a possessive disciple who turns love into hate and is the pursuing partner]

"Back when Master abused me in the instance and let those dogs under your command bully me, did you ever imagine this would happen to you?"

Chu Ming Zheng, a powerhouse in the infinite-flow world, has a refined, handsome, aloof appearance. Yet he's famous among the major guilds for his unpredictable nature, reckless methods, and brutal ways of clearing instances. Even the ghosts and monsters in the instances flee at the sight of him. After forming his own team, his reputation spread across the entire network.

Later, the Main God targeted him. He was gravely injured and fell unconscious in an S-rank instance. His team fell apart and was wiped out overnight. His identity was revoked, and he was assigned to a team of newcomers to start over.

He still killed anything that stood in his way, be it god or Buddha.

Chu Ming Zheng had been far too notorious during his first ten years in the infinite world. Some loved him more than life itself, while others wanted to tear him to pieces. Oh, and he'd also taken on a little disciple.

But he was a truly awful master. He made his disciple work like a beast of burden, and even sent him into S-rank instances to be tormented for his own amusement. When the boy was on the verge of death, he'd lazily pull him out. In the last few instances, he simply threw his disciple to the monsters and left him to fend for himself.

Before his identity was revoked, Chu Ming Zheng had, for once, felt a twinge of guilt over how badly he'd treated his disciple. He'd planned to find him and make amends.

Then he saw the young regent at headquarters, whose face was identical to his disciple's.

Chu Ming Zheng: "..."

No time to waste. He turned and ran.

But he hadn't taken more than a couple of steps before the regent grabbed him around the waist from behind. The man, a head taller than him, leaned down and murmured in his ear, "Master, where are you going?"

The pursuing partner's perspective: Qi Xu was swept into the infinite game as a teenager. To survive, he took a master in the game.

That man was beautiful, sharp, ruthless, and merciless. In the instances, he killed anything that stood in his way, be it god or Buddha, always looking lazy and carefree.

But he was often short-tempered with Qi Xu. When he was in a bad mood, he'd leave him in an instance to be fed to zombies, or let female ghosts chase him in circles. Qi Xu was gravely injured several times and almost didn't make it.

Unable to bear it any longer, Qi Xu left his master. He fought his way over mountains of corpses and rivers of blood, reached the Main God, and became the leader of the strongest guild and the regent of the three-dimensional world.

Qi Xu thought he hated Chu Ming Zheng with all his heart. The first thing he did after becoming regent was confine his master to his residence and torment him as much as he pleased.

Then his master died.

His greatest wish in life became seeing Chu Ming Zheng just once more.

A beautiful, wild, unhinged receiving partner, and a possessive pursuing partner who holds back at first and forces himself on him later.

An age-gap master-disciple romance with coercive love, set in an infinite-flow world. The receiving partner fakes his death at the beginning, but the pursuing partner finds him right away. They discover each other's identities by the end of the first instance. There are quite a few scenes of forced confinement. Please don't read if that's not your thing.

Please add my next story, The Red Coffin's Bewitching Ghost, to your collection!

A major archaeological discovery is made during a demolition project in the city of Qinzhou: an ancient tomb dating back a thousand years is found beneath the foundations of a high-rise.

The red coffin inside drips with blood. Fierce chains bind it shut, and eight long nails seal it from every direction. The tomb's occupant was imprisoned there using a method meant to suppress evil spirits.

The police quickly cordon off the site. Archaeological teams and experts from across the country arrive overnight to conduct a preliminary investigation.

When the red coffin is opened, everyone is stunned. Inside lies a young nobleman of extraordinary beauty, almost otherworldly. His pale face looks lifelike, as if he were only sleeping.

According to the nearby epitaph, his name was Shen Wen Chao. He was guilty of countless crimes, executed in a gruesome manner thousands of years ago, and then sealed here. It warns future generations to be cautious when opening the coffin and never allow his vengeful spirit to return to the world... and so on.

After reading the epitaph, everyone turns back to find that the remains have vanished from the coffin.

Chen Xu, captain of the Qinzhou criminal investigation team, spends weeks working around the clock on the red coffin tomb-robbing case, but gets nowhere.

One day, he comes home from work and finds a handsome man in ancient clothes lying on his sofa.

Chen Xu: "?"

The man looks strangely familiar.

"Name?" Chen Xu asks, standing in front of his sofa.

"Shen Wen Chao," the handsome man in ancient clothes replies calmly.

"Age?"

"...1,183?"

Chen Xu: "?"

Chen Xu has no idea what to do with this old ancestor who climbed out of a coffin, so he has no choice but to let him stay at home for the time being.

He assumes the man will be a troublesome nuisance, but Shen Wen Chao is a ghost who can communicate with the living and the dead.

A headless female corpse buried in concrete, the mysteries of a ghost livestream, a wealthy man's unsolved suicide after swallowing gold... Once Shen Wen Chao takes a look, each case becomes incredibly simple.

In the dead of night, the bewitchingly handsome man in ancient clothes drapes an arm over Chen Xu's shoulder. "I've helped you so much. How are you going to repay me, Officer?"

Chen Xu thinks it over. "...Would you like me to offer myself to you?"

He resolves the receiving partner's past-life karma. A dark, suspenseful mystery.
