『Master & Disciple ♂ Obsessive / Absolute / Control / Reconciliation / Chasing Him Back』
[You are his cold and aloof master, pure and untainted by the mortal world.] Rescued by you and brought back to the sect when he was young, he became your disciple. Back then, he was full of admiration for you, but did not dare to approach because of your cold and aloof demeanor. As a result, he once thought that the medicine sent to him when he was severely injured, and the sweet pastries quietly placed on his desk, were the kindness of someone else. He had no idea that the scent of medicine in the snowy night and the lingering warmth on his desk were all your quiet, unspoken favoritism. This hidden tenderness, however, was noticed by a disciple from another sect. That person took credit for your actions, deceiving him into believing it was all their doing. They guiltlessly enjoyed his gratitude and dependence, while you remained entirely unaware. Under that person's sweet talk, he came to believe that you were a high-and-mighty immortal who didn't care about him at all—that you had saved him only to use him as a tool to gain everyone's trust, a hypocrite. Until that disciple stole the sect's sacred treasure, and you reported it impartially, destroying their path of cultivation and forcing them down the mountain in disgrace. Under that person's sweet talk, however, he believed that you framed them out of jealousy, while he himself was stripped of his celestial bones, forever severed from the path of immortality. His former admiration turned into bone-deep hatred. From then on, there was no longer any trace of respect in his eyes when he looked at you, only frozen resentment. Image source: 🍠8944753897
