After Being Forced Into This Obsessive Love, the Master Is Starting to Get a Little Hooked - Chapter 2

Setting aside the outline he had already written, the plot centered on a disciple who harbored deep resentment toward his master, only to force himself upon the master and eventually fall in love with him.

After being tormented day and night, the master would eventually return the disciple’s affections.

The master, however, felt immense guilt. He could not shed his worldly values, nor could he wash away the disciple’s sins.

Finally, after suffering immense physical and mental anguish, he uttered the world-shaking words, “God loves all the world, and I love one person,” before burning his soul to end his life.

The disciple, devastated with grief, followed him into death as a martyr for love.

Yes, this story was originally a tragic ending. That was the exact reason why he had been so relentless in “abusing” Shi Changting in the earlier chapters.

But now, he had stopped updating midway; he had not even reached the part where Shi Changting fell in love with Bian Menghan.

So he thought silently, could this plot point simply be omitted?

After all, he was straight!

A purely straight man!

How could he, like the character he wrote, fall in love with a man?

Especially one who had tortured him!

Is that not Stockholm Syndrome?

That is a sickness!

It must be treated!

But since he could not fall in love with Bian Menghan, there would naturally be no need to die for love.

So, what kind of ending would count as completing the mission and allowing him to return to his original world?

He thought of the cold, aloof system he had encountered earlier and tried calling it in his mind.

Sure enough, after three seconds, the system let out a lazy yawn and said coldly, “What do you want?”

Shen Xiuwen: “…”

How is it that this system seems so human-like, yet has such a temper?

Fortunately, although Shi Changting refused the idea of transmigrating into a book, he accepted his fate quite quickly. He asked directly, “You said I have to complete the mission to return to my original world. What counts as completing the mission? Should I die? Should he die? Or should we both die together?”

Although he had never transmigrated into a book before, he had written Boys’ Love novels for years. He knew well that roles like master, senior brother, junior brother, uncle, father-in-law, teacher, brother-in-law, brother, younger brother, emperor, national advisor, regent, general, hostage, prince, crown prince, eunuch, and so on, were all high-risk professions.

Either they were doing that to someone else, or they were having that done to them.

In the end, the outcome was almost always either a happy ending or a tragic one.

There was a dead silence.

For some reason, an image surfaced in Shen Xiuwen’s mind of the system looking conflicted and utterly speechless.

【I do not know.】

Shen Xiuwen felt his scalp crawl!

“What the hell? Say that again!”

【I do not know.】

A roar echoed in Shen Xiuwen’s head.

He scratched his hair in frustration and could not help but roar, “When others transmigrate into books, they get cheat codes or systems. You give me a useless system, and on top of that, there is no mission! Are you playing with me?”

This time, the system did not pretend to be aloof but explained the reason in a calm and straightforward manner.

【Because you, the author, never wrote the ending, you have no mission objective. I, this system, also do not know what your mission is.】

The man who was just about to curse fell silent immediately.

No ending means no mission?

So, he dug this hole for himself?

What the hell.

Is it too late for him to resume updating?

Oh, that is right. It is too late.

He had already transmigrated.

And here, there were no computers, mobile phones, or internet.

Shen Xiuwen sighed and sat dejectedly on the ground.

The system remained silent for a moment, then offered some rare consolation.

【The host does not need to be too discouraged. Just keep following the original plot, and I believe there will eventually be an end.】

Shen Xiuwen: “Thanks, but I do not feel comforted at all.”

【…】

Just as Shen Xiuwen was sitting there, feeling lost and dejected, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

“Master, your disciple requests an audience.”

This voice.

Shen Xiuwen’s brow twitched.

It was not him.

He sat up from the floor, straightened his clothes, and tried his best to restore the original character’s cold, aloof, and arrogant demeanor.

When you are a monk for a day, you ring the bell for a day. At the very least, I cannot break character.

“Come in.”

The door was pushed open, and a handsome young disciple bowed to him and said slowly, “Master, the Sect Leader asked me to inform you to go to the deliberation hall.”

Shen Xiuwen’s voice gradually merged with Shi Changting’s, cold and indifferent, “Do you know what it is about?”

“Bian Menghan has returned.”

Shen Xiuwen rushed to the scene and saw Bian Menghan lying on the ground, breathing his last, his eyes vacant, gaze fixed tightly upon him.

He instantly knew where they were in the plot.

In the book, the meeting between Shi Changting and Bian Menghan began with an accident.

That day, Shi Changting went down the mountain to find some herbs. On his way back, he suddenly smelled a rich scent of blood.

Curious, he found Bian Menghan lying in a valley, covered in blood, with only a single breath left.

At that time, Bian Menghan was surrounded by a thick, dark aura. However, seeing Bian Menghan’s delicate and pitiful features, Shi Changting felt a flicker of compassion. He was also overly confident, thinking that he was a dignified Immortal Venerable; why should he fear a mere member of the demon race?

Even if the boy recovered, he would never be able to escape his grasp. Perhaps in the future, he could even use him to gather intelligence on the demon clan.

He even considered sending him to the demon realm as a spy for the sect.

But what Shi Changting did not expect was that this one decision would completely turn his future life upside down.

The subsequent plot was a bit cliché. After Bian Menghan’s wounds healed, he was taken in by Shi Changting as his only disciple.

They ate, practiced, and slept together.

Everything was proceeding according to plan, but Shi Changting remained convinced that Bian Menghan, being a member of the demon race, must have ulterior motives.

Therefore, he never truly regarded Bian Menghan as his disciple.

He even tacitly permitted the sect to assign Bian Menghan dangerous trial missions multiple times.

Once, when Bian Menghan was framed for harming a fellow disciple, he just looked on coldly, neither protecting nor defending him.

He let Bian Menghan suffer 33 lashes, planting the seeds of resentment that would later lead to Bian Menghan imprisoning Shi Changting.

If Shen Xiuwen remembered correctly, the day Bian Menghan was whipped was today.

Countless thoughts whirled through his mind.

The point in the plot where he had transmigrated had not yet reached the point where he stopped updating.

It was even earlier.

If Bian Menghan’s future torture of Shi Changting stemmed from this period, from Shi Changting’s coldness and indifference toward him, then did that mean if he did the opposite of what was written in the book and treated Bian Menghan exceptionally well?

If he ensured Bian Menghan felt no resentment toward him, then the later imprisonment and forced scenes might not happen.

Yes! Yes! Yes!

Treat Bian Menghan well!

Treat him well!

Just treat him well, and that would be enough!

With no hatred, Bian Menghan naturally would not imprison him.

And he would not have to be tortured.

Perfect!
