The Scheming Master Who Transmigrated Into a Book Turns the Protagonist's Tactics Against Him

He transmigrated into a book. The bad news: he became the bratty master from a melodramatic novel, a man who had done so much evil that his protagonist disciple locked him up, tormented him in body and mind, and eventually killed him with his own hands. Worse, he transmigrated when he was already imprisoned.

And the System gave him a near-impossible task:

Help the protagonist disciple, who only wants to torment him, return to normal and take up the world-saving duty laid out in the original story.

With no way back, Wuyuan could only console himself:

At least he had the original text on hand and had taught for a few years. How hard could it be to handle an angsty, rebellious teenager?

But when he opened his eyes, he found his hands and feet bound, with a bewitchingly handsome young man leaning over him and stripping off his clothes. He completely lost his composure.

His rebellious disciple: "Don't be nervous, Master. Your disciple isn't going to eat you."

No golden finger, a hellish start, a task he had to complete or die, and the System had even disabled his ability to give in.

Wuyuan gritted his teeth. "Are you afraid I won't be tormented enough to match the original story?"

[System: It's just because that would be out of character for the original host.]

Of course, there was some good news: the way he was tormented was different from the original story.

The original story's scenes of him being whipped until his skin split, dragged by the hair and slammed until his head bled, tied behind a horse and dragged along, or having his bones broken underfoot were all gone.

All that remained were various humiliating captive-room games he could do nothing about.

Chi Yu seems to be waiting for someone to return, with his whole heart set on them. Yet he also calls that person a despicable liar who never keeps their word.

But later, Chi Yu says that person is Wuyuan. He's already lost all patience with him, and Wuyuan can't deny it anymore.

"Where else do you want to go, besides the palm of your disciple's hand?"

Wuyuan, who can bend and stretch but cannot give in: "..."

Thinking: Could you make the torment a little gentler? ORZ. (I still want to comfort him later, after all!)

Reading Guide:

The master is the gong. The two leads are devoted to each other, and neither has been with anyone else.

The original host and the protagonist are not the same person. The disciple has no romantic feelings for the original host, and nothing ever happened between them.

Since this involves a regret-and-redemption arc, the sweet romance only starts afterward!

I'm too used to trying to please everyone to stop now, so I'm trying to add a regret-and-redemption arc...

Theme: Nothing is difficult for someone who puts their heart into it.
