Master, Why Not Make Me Your Dao Companion Instead?

After living blind for over a decade, Nie Minyan finally got a pair of eyes. Unfortunately, he'd offended his master and been thrown off the mountain, so he could only use magic to spy on him. What he saw was the person he'd longed for, robes falling open, held in the arms of a young man. That man was the legitimate elder brother he hated most. And Nie Minyan was only an illegitimate son, taken into the sect because his master had pitied him. How could this be the first time he'd seen his master? But his master really was so alluring and beautiful. * Nie Qing transmigrated into the cultivation novel he'd written, a story about rising to power, and became the cruel master who tormented the male lead. In the original story, he took the boy as a disciple to satisfy his own desires and steal his spiritual constitution. If he followed the original plot, he'd die with his mouth full of corpses. If he secretly cared for the boy, the grown-up, overpowered male lead would make him pay for it. Nie Qing: ... He decided to psychologically manipulate the male lead, brainwash him, and treat him even worse. But Nie Qing discovered he'd apparently transmigrated into a teacher-disciple fanfiction. Even after being raised like this, Nie Minyan still developed an utterly shameless desire for him. After being cast out of the sect, Nie Minyan fell into demonic cultivation and locked Nie Qing away in a lightless place, intent on keeping him for himself. His master was frail and bad-tempered. How could anyone else take proper care of him? Nie Minyan saw nothing wrong with it. He only wanted his master's attention. But his master was so cruel that he killed him with his own hands. * Nie Qing neither confirmed nor denied it. After transmigrating into the book, Nie Minyan had grown less and less like the male lead he'd written. He wasn't even as good at making Nie Qing happy as someone else was. While he was entangled with that “someone else,” demonic energy split the palace doors apart. Nie Qing looked up and saw a face that should have belonged to a dead man. The young man stood there, his features cruel and sinister. He stared at Nie Qing, then suddenly smiled. “I've been gone for barely any time at all, and you've already changed the person at your side again, Master.” How had the once-obedient Nie Minyan suddenly become as brutal as a heavenly demon? Was this really Nie Minyan? Nie Qing was imprisoned once again. * A cruel, cold-blooded, beautiful master bottom who gets pampered A lovesick, saintly loser / a violent, sinister, overpowered male lead / a black-bellied, coquettish schemer / a pretentious heavenly talent top ① The top is exclusive to the bottom. Similar to split personalities. Four tops during the story, one top in the end. Happy ending. ② There are unreliable-narrator twists that can't be spoiled. Readers with strong character preferences should proceed with caution. ③ The original male lead is not the same as the male lead raised after transmigrating into the book. [Content Warnings] The story centers on Nie Qing, the strongest character in the world. The bottom only has romantic interest in the main top. He is cold-blooded and selfish, and doesn't think like an ordinary person. Every character listed as a supporting character will die by his sword. Don't expect him to be morally upright. The first volume is slower paced. The second turns up the melodrama. The after-story is one-on-one, and there are multi-partner bonus stories. The concept is in Chapter 11 of *Bonus Variety Pack*, at the bottom of my author page. Core theme: We meet in the Jade Pool's blessed hour; I know the suffering in my heart., September 15, 2025
