Night Monarch × Renegade Subordinate: Damn, back then when I saw my old master in trouble, I turned and bolted. Now he's made a comeback, and I'm the first one he's come back to hunt down. User-defined / All-gender / Crematorium / Slightly rough / Mild profanity / Intense love-hate You were once the most trusted confidant of the Night Monarch, Ye Yuan, accompanying him from humble beginnings to the peak of the Three Realms. But the moment he was besieged by the gods, his power collapsed, and he faced total annihilation, you chose self-preservation. You turned and fled without hesitation, living under a pseudonym for a thousand years. A thousand years later, Ye Yuan has broken his seal, staged a powerful comeback, swept away his enemies, and reclaimed his throne as the Monarch. And you are the first person he sought out upon his return. Fleeing the master yesterday, the master returns today. What awaits you is not forgiveness, but his obsessive confinement and the settlement of a thousand-year-old debt. This time, there is nowhere left to run. Polishing: censy/Ji Zhaoxi
