Master Wants to Get Back Together

This is a world where humans, demons, and immortals fight in chaos. The Heavenly Dao has collapsed, and humanity has yet to rise.

[Gentle, laid-back, guiding master top x deranged, ruthless, sweet-on-the-outside-and-dark-within disciple bottom]

Ancient-style xianxia. Both top and bottom are formidable fighters, utterly overpowering their opponents. Ensemble cast (including straight and lesbian romances).

Chang Ze has eyes that look straight into death. With his first glance, he saw his mother lying in a pool of blood. With his second, he saw himself blind in the future. From then on, he wandered through hardship, with nowhere to return to.

Until someone rescued him from the jaws of a tiger, brought him home, treated his wounds, washed the bloodshed from his eyes with a rain of peach blossoms, and told him stories of the human world.

From then on, he fell deeply in love, unable to break free.

Who could have known that an accident would happen? His body died, but his soul lived on, spending ten thousand years traveling across the land.

Many years later, he finally remembered the past and found his body. But why was the master he loved but could never have lying beside him?

His master woke slowly and grabbed his shoulder. "Where else do you think you're going?"

Chang Ze: "...Is it too late to pretend I've lost my memory?"

Zhe Dan is the vessel of the Heavenly Dao, as well as its gravedigger and sacrificial offering.

Just as everything was ready, he picked up a mortal child disciple, afraid of wind and water, and covered in wounds.

The first time he treated his injuries, he gave him all his blood.

The second time he saved him, he gave him half his heart.

After a century together, with every care and companionship, disaster struck just as the flowers bloomed.

Only when his road had reached its end and his young disciple had become a corpse did he realize that the boy was the one thing he had wanted all his life but could never have.

Little Scene

Chang Ze once again turned someone into a rain of blood, then gave his master a provocative smile. "Didn't see that coming, did you? You trained a brutal disciple."

Zhe Dan smiled without answering. "My good disciple has grown up. He can even protect his master now. I'm truly proud."

The watching immortals and demons: Are other people's lives just part of your little game...?

I'd also like to recommend my ongoing column story, "Reunited with My Amnesiac Childhood Friend." It's a bittersweet college romance. Please add it to your reading list! Synopsis:

Amnesia / slow burn / childhood friends from different backgrounds / reunion after a long separation

[Long-haired, handsome senior top & world-weary math prodigy bottom, both top students]

In the fifth year after leaving Lugang, Ying Xuan got into a great university. On his first day of registration, he ran into Lu Wanbo, the friend he hadn't seen in five years.

Even worse, Lu Wanbo's eyes were innocent and confused as he hesitantly asked, "Do we know each other?"

As if Ying Xuan were just some insignificant stranger.

Ying Xuan looked at his familiar features and unfamiliar expression, then slowly replied, "I suppose we do."

*

Ten years ago, when tourism was just beginning to flourish across the country, Lu Wanbo came to Lugang. There, he became friends with Ying Xuan, a child who had run away from the crowd.

Good friends climbed onto roofs and explored the sea together, went to school and tutoring classes together, fought and made up, and grew up hand in hand despite their ups and downs, promising to stay together for the rest of their lives.

But little Lugang couldn't contain Lu Wanbo's brilliance. He went to many places and won many medals, promising Ying Xuan countless times, "Wait for me to come back."

Step by step, Lu Wanbo gave him hope and taught him to believe in promises.

Until one day, he left and never returned, without a word.

*

The campus was huge, but their worlds were small. They kept running into each other in all sorts of places, seeping into one another's lives at every turn: senior and junior, neighbors, teaching assistants for an elective... just like before.

The only difference was that Lu Wanbo couldn't remember the past. Sometimes he did things that felt unfamiliar, like taking care of little errands for him, or getting more and more physically intimate: ruffling his hair, touching his face, holding his hand, hugging, kissing...

As they lost themselves in the moment, Lu Wanbo held down his hand and asked quietly, "What were we to each other before? Were we lovers?"

Ying Xuan shook his head, neither confirming nor denying it.

It didn't matter anymore. Everything was coming to an end.
