A strikingly handsome, aloof master who doesn't know how beautiful he is × a seemingly obedient little dog of a disciple who's secretly a schemer
On the eve of his ascension, Lin Quan, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, received word that his sect had been destroyed and its holdings sold to another immortal sect.
Lin Quan didn't think much of it. "So when are they delivering my immortal pills next month?"
Sect Leader Lin spat blood three feet into the air. "The whole sect is gone! Where am I supposed to get the ingredients to make your immortal pills?!"
Without the pills, he couldn't ascend. Lin Quan dusted off his clothes and calmly said, "Then I'll figure something out myself."
But once he left his ivory tower, he discovered that Young Master Lin had never lifted a finger for himself. He couldn't handle dirty or heavy work, and the money he earned wasn't enough to buy a single steamed bun.
Let alone an immortal pill.
At the end of his rope, Lin Quan thought of the beautiful master he'd abandoned.
His former master, Yun Xixue, was an ice-cold mountain of a man. His cultivation was peerless, and his aloof, icy nature made him seem impossible to approach. Yet this proud, superior man had been slapped in the face three years earlier when Lin Quan had thrown a letter of resignation from their master-disciple relationship in front of him.
After returning to the mountain, Lin Quan humbled himself before Yun Xixue, wheedling and sweet-talking him. Under Lin Quan's passionate yet cunning advances, Yun Xixue gradually let down his guard amid their intoxicating intimacy, and ripples stirred in his cool, unwavering heart.
Lin Quan used tenderness as bait and spent one blissful night with Yun Xixue.
After scheming for so long, he finally got the immortal pill.
Having achieved his goal, Lin Quan left Yun Xixue, who was still swept up in their passion, and resolutely walked away. Just as he was about to ascend, a jade-white hand caught the hem of his robe.
Lin Quan turned around. Yun Xixue clutched his robe, biting his lower lip, his expression restrained and the corners of his eyes flushed red.
"A Quan, you... don't want your master anymore?"

Yun Xixue was the revered Venerable Bixu, who commanded the power of the stars and could reshape the world's spiritual ley lines or quell the four seas with a single thought.
Yet even this aloof, proud, pure-hearted and desireless immortal couldn't escape being consumed by longing for one person, his thoughts endlessly entangled.
Yun Xixue had secretly loved his disciple, Lin Quan, for years, only to be abandoned when a letter of resignation severed their bond.
After swallowing up the Lin sect, Lin Quan did indeed come back to him, asking to rejoin the sect.
When that familiar figure appeared before the mountain gate once more, the jade slip in Yun Xixue's hand trembled slightly.
The wound left by the letter that had severed their master-disciple bond split open in an instant, and bitterness and elation surged through him. He wanted to scold Lin Quan for his cruelty, yet feared that if he spoke, all his pent-up grievances would spill out.
He forced himself to maintain the dignity of a venerable immortal, but could hardly hide the tears welling in his eyes. No matter how deeply he had been hurt, the moment that person turned back, his heart and mind held nothing but the joy of their reunion and the carefully concealed relief of having him back after losing him.
"A Quan, this time, I won't let you leave again."
