[Dark, sinister wolf cub gong 1 x Noble, beautiful shizun shou 0]
Qingyun, the foremost figure of the righteous path, had never taken a disciple. Thanks to a fortuitous opportunity, he decided to accept a first disciple at the sect gathering.
Countless scions of noble families and powerful figures from the capital fought tooth and nail for the position. Yet he chose a wolf cub with no background at all.
Everyone was shocked. Wen Jining himself seemed not to have expected to be chosen, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Wen Jining was cold and distant at first. Qingyun thought that, since this was his first disciple, he should be patient with him. When Wen Jining tested him in subtle ways, Qingyun gave him a sword manual. When Wen Jining was bullied by his fellow disciples, Qingyun stood up for him...
Later, whenever Qingyun spent time with his childhood friend, Wen Jining would quietly squeeze in between them and say darkly, "Shizun needs to rest."
When an elder mentioned that Qingyun should take another disciple, Wen Jining clung tightly to him, practically grinding his teeth to dust. "Shizun, can't I be your only disciple?"
Qingyun: ?
Had he spoiled him too much? Had he always been like this?
-
Whenever Wen Jining saw Qingyun coming and going with his childhood friend, it grated on him. Whenever he saw Qingyun smile at someone else, his heart sank.
He thought he might have fallen for Qingyun.
On the eve of testing his feelings, Wen Jining overheard Qingyun learning that the demons had found their missing young lord, who was currently among the immortal sects.
Qingyun sneered. "If I find that person, I'll deal with him before he can cause trouble. Let's see what they do about that."
Wen Jining's hand suddenly jerked, and the teacup in it hit the ground with a crash.
His shizun didn't know that he was the young lord of the demons.
Wen Jining began to feel uneasy, testing whether he mattered to Qingyun.
Then, while he was away on a training journey, news arrived from the sect that a letter had been sent to Qingyun.
To prepare for the demons, Qingyun was to take another disciple.
Qingyun thought he would let the new disciple go once everything was over, so they could part on good terms. The young lord of the demons was due to come that very night, and Qingyun wanted to see for himself who this person was.
But in the dead of night, the door swung open, and Wen Jining, who should have been away on his training journey, slowly walked into the room.
Step by step, Wen Jining enclosed Qingyun in his arms, holding him captive. His eyes roiled with emotion.
"Shizun... Didn't you say I was your only disciple? Why are you taking another one?"
"Just because I'm the young lord of the demons, you don't want me anymore?"
[Reading Guide]
* Both leads are exclusive to each other.
* Sweet push-and-pull in the first half. The second half includes some unrequited love and coercive pursuit.
* There will be plenty of shou-focused angst, with a fairly dark, shou-centric flavor. The shou is powerful, but there will still be scenes where he's injured, and later he'll be weakened by an illness-like debuff for a while due to special circumstances. Please consider whether you're okay with that.
* A background gong has a one-sided crush on the shou. Before the main couple gets together, the gong will be jealous, jealous, jealous, and there will be rivalry.
* To keep the timeline and plot aligned, the gong may advance in strength rather quickly. Please don't scrutinize it too closely, thank you~
Theme: Work hard to improve yourself and realize your dreams.
