Overworked office drone Lin Xiao wakes up in the body of Shen Qingxuan, the vicious master from a cultivation tragedy who tortures his disciples, and the System forces him to torment his future darkened disciple, Ye Wushang.
He plans to follow the script and stay alive, but everything keeps going wrong. Ordered to kneel in the snow? He wraps himself in a quilt and squats nearby, munching sunflower seeds. Told to slip his disciple a laxative? He grabs a muscle-building pill by mistake and makes him even bigger.
What he doesn't know is that his disciple has been reborn. His hatred from his previous life is still there, but in this life he's left reeling by his master's ridiculous new persona. The man who used to be cold as ice now sighs at spirit pets, sneaks bites of chicken legs, and patches him up with strange "Band-Aids."
His hatred gradually turns into obsession, and Ye Wushang begins quietly keeping his master under lock and key: wherever his master goes, he goes too, and anyone who dares get close pays for it.
The System's mission changes from "torment your disciple" to "escape your disciple." Shen Qingxuan is terrified under his disciple's watchful eye, yet worries when he gets hurt and finds himself moved by his obsessive confession.
When a barrier traps him, Ye Wushang presses his forehead to Shen Qingxuan's and laughs softly. "Master, don't even think about leaving this time."
Shen Qingxuan: System, help me! System: Shutdown complete.
Theme: Break free of a predetermined fate and reshape yourself.
