Chu Qingning is a nineteen-year-old college student who transmigrates into a book.
It's a cultivation novel about a master and his disciples, with one master and three disciples. All three disciples fall for their master, who shares Chu Qingning's name and is actually a little white cat.
His three disciples are a fox, a snake, and a wolf, and every one of them has been coveting their master for years.
While the disciples are still young, they're fairly well-behaved. But later, all three fight over their master, with all kinds of obsessive love, forbidden relationships, and messy love triangles. He suffers both physically and emotionally.

Actually, Chu Qingning has four disciples. Most of the disciples on his peak are demon-kind, so the fourth, a human disciple, hardly gets noticed and is often bullied by his senior brothers.
Chu Qingning is moved to tears. Thank goodness there's another human like him!
He keeps his distance from his three demon disciples and makes it his mission to get along with the only other human.
He takes Lu Zhi along on trips down the mountain, gives him the best magical artifacts, and only goes out for fun with him.
The other three disciples are still caught up in their rivalries with one another, never realizing that Lu Zhi has already become their master's favorite.
When they find out, all three disciples turn dark.
Chu Qingning asks Lu Zhi nervously, "You won't, right?"
Lu Zhi's phoenix eyes curve upward, his face full of smiles. "I won't, Master."

When his three disciples, now turned dark and armed with golden fingers, storm Rongjin Peak, Chu Qingning packs his things and prepares to run.
One day alive is one more day, right?
But before he can make his escape, Lu Zhi is already standing in front of him, sword spinning as he defeats all three golden-fingered disciples. Lu Zhi's gaze burns as he notices the luggage Chu Qingning is carrying. His expression turns a little unhinged. "Master, where are you going?"
Trusting Lu Zhi, Chu Qingning answers honestly, "I'm leaving Rongjin Peak."
Lu Zhi's eyes crinkle with a smile, but the smile on his face is stiff. Struggling to hold back his emotions, he speaks as gently as he can. "Master, would you choose me?"
Chu Qingning asks in confusion, "Choose you for what?"
Lu Zhi's expression crumbles. His smile is dangerous and alluring. "So Master never even considered me."
Huh? What is going on?
Don't turn dark like the others!
Afterward, Chu Qingning deeply regrets it. Why is his only human disciple even darker and more unhinged than the other three?

Lu Zhi has lived in the mud since childhood. He works harder than anyone else and longs to grow stronger, but the world is always unfair.
He is forever trampled underfoot, a stepping stone for others to climb higher.
Until that day.
His master, who had never paid him much attention, walked into the cold, quiet courtyard.
Standing outside, he asked, "Want to go down the mountain and train together? Just the two of us."
That day, his master stood against the light, the most beautiful sight Lu Zhi had ever seen in his life.
