My Unhinged Master Was Remade into a Love Fool

[Unhinged, sweet-on-the-outside-and-dark-within master top x spoiled, timid disciple bottom]

Xu Jingzhao was raised by Chun Yin Sect from a young age.

Though he had poor spiritual roots and low cultivation, his unusual fate meant he was betrothed to Pei Xuanmo, the young lord of Chun Yin Sect, who was fated to die young.

He lived peacefully until he was seventeen. Just as he planned to lie flat after the wedding, his fiance, who was studying at Immortal Governance Hall far away, called off the engagement.

Xu Jingzhao was stunned, convinced he'd be thrown out that very night.

Instead, the couple who led Chun Yin Sect waved a hand and arranged for him to become a disciple at Immortal Governance Hall as well, instructing him to win back the engagement and help their young lord extend his life.

But rumors said that Yan Weichen, master of Immortal Governance Hall, was cold and bloodless. He had ruled the hall for years, with countless lives on his hands, and everyone expected Xu Jingzhao to last only a few days.

Upon arriving at Immortal Governance Hall, which was full of prodigies, Xu Jingzhao was on edge, terrified of making a mistake.

He never expected that each of his senior disciples would be arrogant and look down on a good-for-nothing like him, who had gotten in through family connections.

His fellow disciples shunned and excluded him, his fiance watched with indifference, and his master even warned him not to cause trouble.

He could only put his plans aside and quietly work on winning them over. Unfortunately, his fiance was set on ending the engagement and wouldn't budge.

He changed targets, thinking that if his master granted a marriage, he could leave immediately.

But from what he could tell, his master didn't seem to like him.

Every time he delivered something to his fiance, he would turn around and see his master's icy gaze. It was terrifying...

*

All of Yan Weichen's disciples were exceptional, but Xu Jingzhao was the one exception.

He didn't work hard at his cultivation, and spent his days chasing after his other disciple, trying to curry favor.

To keep Xu Jingzhao from disrupting the cultivation of Immortal Governance Hall, Yan Weichen had no choice but to watch over him personally and keep him at his side.

But one day, Yan Weichen fell ill, and Xu Jingzhao accidentally barged in. Yan Weichen nearly mistook him for the cure.

That shy, lovely face, those timid, affectionate eyes, and his soft plea, "Master..."

Became the absurd dream that haunted Yan Weichen in the dead of night.

Xu Jingzhao had been troubled lately. He'd finally gotten his master to come around, so why did Yan Weichen turn cold whenever he mentioned granting the marriage?

With the deadline fast approaching, he started to panic. He spent a fortune on medicine, but accidentally gave it to... his master?

He looked at the man's bloodshot eyes and trembled as he tried to escape, only to be grabbed around the waist and thrown onto the bed.

*

Pei Xuanmo belatedly realized that Xu Jingzhao wasn't as hopeless as he'd thought. With feelings he couldn't quite put into words, he wrote the marriage contract himself and asked his master to grant the marriage.

Passing by a window in Immortal Governance Hall that hadn't been fully shut, Pei Xuanmo saw his most respected master pinning his fiance beneath him and kissing him. Snow-white shoulders and neck were half exposed, covered in vivid red marks.

He was going to lose his mind...

Please check out my new story, "Older Brother, Why Are You Taking Off Your Dragon Robe?!"

[Older, sweet-on-the-outside-and-dark-within imperial brother x pretty, spoiled imperial younger brother]

Ji Suxing suddenly awakened at eighteen.

He discovered that he was the vicious cannon-fodder in a revenge novel, a fake with no royal blood, while the male lead was his sweet-on-the-outside-and-dark-within imperial brother, Ji Linque, whom he'd bullied for three years.

His imperial brother only pretended to be honest. In truth, he was ruthless and vindictive, and his real identity was the "Crown Prince in Exile," who had committed a grave offense six years ago.

Ji Suxing had followed this prince for twelve years, but after the prince's "death," he joined the Second Prince's faction without hesitation.

At this point, Ji Linque's accession to the throne was only two months away.

With old and new grudges between them, once his brother took the throne, Ji Linque could torture him to death.

Ji Suxing was stunned. Who had written him as a vicious idiot?

Waaah, he didn't want to die. He only wanted to be a useless good-for-nothing who could eat, drink, and have fun.

Before he could come up with a plan, his lackey stepped forward to claim credit.

"Ninth Prince, I've already given him the medicine."

Medicine? What medicine? Ji Suxing shuddered. An aphrodisiac!!!!

Today, their father had taken them to pray at the imperial temple. It was the crucial moment in the original story when his subordinate arranged to drug Ji Linque, ruining his reputation.

The drug was potent and long-lasting, enough to make sure their father caught them in the act!

Without another word, Ji Suxing ran to save him, and for no other reason than to keep himself alive.

But he was still too late.

The instant he pushed open the door, his elder brother, eyes bloodshot, pinned him against it and tore his princely robes to shreds.

That day, the most spoiled young prince was made to do all kinds of things by the older brother he had looked down on, leaving a complete mess behind.

*

Ji Linque was betrayed and surrounded by enemy troops at Fenglang Pass.

He changed his name and identity, returning to the capital with a heart full of hatred. He became a nominal son under Consort Rong, only to be repeatedly bullied by her own son, Ji Suxing.

The little boy who had once followed him around calling him Crown Prince Brother had grown into a pretty, spoiled young master. But the identity of an unremarkable prince, easy for anyone to manipulate, was perfect for his secret plans.

Ji Linque endured it for now.

Once he ascended the throne, he would make everyone who had betrayed him wish they were dead. Ji Suxing's name was clearly written on that list.

But just before he could succeed, someone drugged him.

And that pretty, stupid younger brother happened to stumble into him at that very moment.

There was no reason not to use the antidote that had delivered itself to his door.

Holding down the corners of his brother's reddened eyes, he drowned out the young prince's tearful pleas.

He might be stupid, but when he cried... he was truly beautiful.

*

Ji Suxing had a trick for saving his own life.

As long as he called Ji Linque "Crown Prince Brother," Ji Linque would spare him.

The first time, he pretended to mumble in his sleep, and Ji Linque lowered the sword he had raised to kill him.

The second time, he played cute and pitiful, and Ji Linque let go, then held him and endured the whole night.

The third time, he begged for mercy through his tears, but Ji Linque showed no mercy. He dragged him back and had his way with him over and over.

Ji Linque was forceful. "Don't you like calling me Crown Prince Brother? Why are you running?"

Ji Suxing sobbed incoherently, trying to resist, only to be subdued again and again.

Didn't they say Ji Linque would become a wise ruler once he became emperor? Why was he doing that with him in broad daylight?!
