[Looking back, this initial blurb feels way too outrageous. I'll probably revise it later. The pairing is still master and disciple, with a mature, domineering top and a sweet, adorable bottom. 2026.7.22]
1.
Qingmin was a little fox spirit. As a child, he was taken in by Cangli, the cold and aloof God of War from the Immortal Realm, and raised as his disciple. As time passed, Qingmin fell in love with Cangli.
Perhaps his master had sensed his feelings, because Cangli began to treat him coldly. Qingmin no longer dared to harbor such hopes. All he wanted was to stay by Cangli's side forever and be his well-behaved little disciple.
But then, one day, Cangli brought back another young immortal and coldly ordered Qingmin, "From now on, Jinyun is your junior brother. As his senior, you must take good care of him."
But... Qingmin clearly remembered his master promising that he would be his one and only disciple in this lifetime.
Afraid that his master would drive him away, he could only obediently agree.
His junior brother's arrival changed everything.
Qingmin watched as his junior brother shamelessly clung to Cangli, doing all the things Qingmin had never dared to do, crossing every boundary. Yet Cangli indulged him. All the rules Cangli had personally laid down meant nothing when it came to his junior brother.
Qingmin's heart ached, but he continued to be an obedient, proper senior disciple. Even when Jinyun went to every length to humiliate and torment him, he refused to leave the sect of his own accord.
He only wanted to stay by Cangli's side and quietly gaze up at his master. That was all.
But in return, all his painstaking efforts were destroyed, his bones were broken and his marrow stripped away, and he was killed in a lightning formation.
In the end, Cangli never came to save him.
2.
Qingmin came back from the dead, having lost all five senses and all his cultivation. Someone found him at the border between the Immortal and Demon Realms. That person's temperament was mercurial and impossible to fathom, yet he willingly cared for Qingmin with the utmost attention, gathering his three hun and seven po souls and helping him grow a new tail.
The day Qingmin opened his eyes again, he found himself with three new masters.
And at the Demon Venerable Xuanqi's side, there was now a little fox cherished in the palm of his hand.
Long afterward
The immortal mark on Cangli's forehead gradually faded. Demonic energy surged in his eyes as he pinned the struggling Qingmin down on the bed, pleading over and over in despair and madness: "Min'er, would you call me Master one more time?"
"If you call me Master one more time, I'll let him go."
"..."
"Master was wrong. Min'er, Master knows he was wrong."
*A very clichéd, old-school, melodramatic fluffy novel. The cold, wooden-hearted one chases love and suffers a miserable pursuit arc √ switches to a new top √ top spoils bottom √ master-disciple upbringing √
*A split-personality, fatherly, doting, powerful top × a sweet, adorable, beautiful, intersex little fox bottom
*Xuanqi × Qingmin
*Bottom-focused, with a devoted bottom and a non-virgin top. Not for fans of mutual pampering or top-focused romance. The melodrama is intense, and the early chapters contain physical and emotional abuse of the bottom, with a rather dark tone. Not recommended for bottom-focused readers who can't accept this.
