After the Breakup, My Cold and Aloof Junior Disciple Went Mad

Gu Shenzhi, in truth the Great Saint King Peacock, wealthy and beautiful, adored by all. In his youth, he once disguised himself as a blind cultivator to assist the reincarnation of a divine maiden. By chance, he encountered a junior brother whose face was hidden behind a mask, cold as ice.

The junior brother seemed disfigured, yet his figure was strong, and his eyes strikingly beautiful. Gu Shenzhi fell in love at first sight, coaxing him with tenderness beyond heaven and earth. He stripped away the junior’s defenses, leaving him vulnerable to Gu Shenzhi’s every whim.

Gu Shenzhi got what he wanted, he consumed the junior completely, while the divine maiden successfully transcended her tribulation. When the time came, his mission complete, he said before leaving: “Between you and me lies the divide of immortals and mortals, worlds apart. What must be severed, must be severed.”

Years later, the ancient War God, Qingqiu Divine Lord, returned after enduring millennia of tribulation. His divine office was bestowed upon Jiyang Palace, making him Gu Shenzhi’s superior.

At the welcoming banquet, immortals gathered. Rumors whispered that during his mortal tribulation, the Divine Lord had been abandoned due to disparity in status, left heartbroken and betrayed. If he ever found that person, he would devour them alive to vent his hatred.

Gu Shenzhi clicked his tongue, silently mourning that unlucky soul. But when the Divine Lord appeared, robes billowing with storm winds, his aura overwhelming, Gu Shenzhi bowed with the others, yet his gaze involuntarily lifted.

And collided with eyes as deep and cold as a frozen lake. Gu Shenzhi shivered. Why did those eyes feel so familiar?

Lu Nanfeng, born half‑demon, his face ruined from birth, tasting the cruelty of the world. Even those who treated him kindly always had ulterior motives.

Until he met a blind cultivator. That man was spoiled, temperamental, prone to tears and tantrums, yet though sightless, he gave Lu Nanfeng everything. One day, red‑eyed, he confessed, pouring out words that no one else could replace him.

In Lu Nanfeng’s bleak life, that man was a beam of light, giving him courage to keep fighting against a filthy world.

But one day, that man said:

“I am immortal, you are mortal. In this lifetime, there will be no bond between us.”

His words were cruel, yet he wept as he spoke.

Before Lu Nanfeng’s resentment could rise, his arms had already pulled the man close to soothe him. The breakup was not his true intent.

He asked:

“Why must it be this way?”

The man choked, producing a Forget‑Worry Pearl that erased memories, whispering

“I’m sorry.”

When Lu Nanfeng awoke, the man was gone. Yet his half‑demon blood resisted the pearl’s power, he remembered everything.

He understood: the breakup hid a secret. He also understood: he was not yet strong enough. But when the day came that he was powerful, would that man reveal the truth? Would he explain what had happened? Would they be together again?

Years later, upon the Ascension Platform, Lu Nanfeng finally saw him once more. This time, he would never let go.

One‑line summary: A good horse always returns to eat the old grass.
