How to Save My Dark, Second Male Lead Master

How to Save My Dark Master, the Second Male Lead

Xuan Qijin returns to her master’s youth.

The good news:

She and her master are a pair of pure-hate master and disciple, so she can just leave him alone.

The bad news:

The ragged boy, covered in injuries and clinging to the sect’s young lady, is her master.

Ah...

“Should I kill you to set you free, or put you on the altar?”

//

Sword Venerable Chi Ye: a prodigy who made a name for himself young, a flower atop a lofty peak.

He is so powerful that few people ever mention his past anymore.

His past, when his spiritual root was destroyed, everyone turned against him, he couldn’t have what he wanted, and his heart was full of greed and resentment.

But even if others don’t bring it up, he has never forgotten.

So his inner demons multiplied, tormenting him every day until he could maintain his mask of sanity for only a short time.

No one knew how long it had been when, amid the chaos, he heard a young girl’s voice, half amused and half questioning. Then everything around him cleared.

He saw the disciple he had met only once, and...

his former self?

Chi Ye knows his feelings are shameful. At first, he resented how good fortune never came his way, resented others’ indifference and neglect, and resented being no more than a supporting character despite all his efforts.

Later, he resented the traces of that unknown master’s handiwork all over her, resented how Xuan Qijin felt nothing for him even though they were close enough to feel each other breathe...

His resentment and greed threaten to spill from his eyes, yet all he can do is listen as his sword spirit, just as greedy as he is, tells him:

“She isn’t yours.”

. The master is the younger version of herself’s “sword spirit.”

. The master and disciple met only once while their relationship lasted; the female lead is the only one who feels pure hatred.

. A dark, resentful master (both the younger and adult versions).

. The male lead never truly loved the sect’s young lady at any point in his life.

. Screenshots saved.
