SPOILEEEEERRRRR
so i dont really understand the novel and there's a lot of korean names and faction/cult that i cant remember, i tried writing them down to understand it a bit but i gave up. this was why id rather watch harry potter than read bcs my imagination is low asf, lower than my iq bro.
so base on MY imagination lol,
MC was unlucky taught by an already dead old guy master of martial art, it was a power to follow people with great speed and agility. MC is an orphan so he grew up working his ass off in wars, he's a member of Demonic Cult. bcs of his power, the 1st and 3rd disciple of the Heavenly Demon ordered him to follow ML (he's the heavenly demon). ML is the boss and strongest of all. He has four disciple.
1. ML's heir to the position, but he's still anxious of being the next leader so he tries his best to protect ML.
2. this guy has a complicated family connection HAHA. i got lost so much so i dont know if im spitting facts but, he's the son of Gwak Ho (?) the villain in this story. ML accepted him as a disciple bcs his mother died protecting ML from gwak ho.
3. he's teaming up with 1st disciple for the protection of ML
4. the only girl disciple, i cant really remember her in the story lol.
the main plot of this story revolves on ML's complicated past. ML has a brother, and idk what happened to them HAHAHAHAH i sucked at giving spoilers huh, so the Qilin Token/Tablet is just an emblem ML gave to his brother so he doesn't really care about that. and the Jade Qilin is somewhat connected to ML's brother.
the dark past was that ML's master's wife him when he was fourteen. That fuckass bitch carried a daughter with ML against his will, so he never really considered her as his child. That daughter is the wife of the villain Gwak Ho, the father of his 2nd disciple, this means he is his grandson. So yes, ML's daughter died protecting ML.
Gwak-Ho tried to kill ML because he thought that ML and his wife had an affair bcs the wife begs ML to take their son as his disciple and acknowledge him as his grandson. In short, he misunderstood lol.
So anw, ML took his revenge to his master's wife, killed her. idk what happened between ML and his brother, but the brother is on a different faction, i cant remember lol. That brother has a wife and a son, who looks exact like ML. imma stop here, idk what im saying.
so back to the present, Gwak Ho is now plotting his schemes and two other factions are also mentioned. ML has to disguise himself as that blonde guy Seung-hyo (his grandson??? i think sworn grandson, like from a friend)
MC was ordered to follow ML and was forced by the 3rd disciple to take a 'Gu' worm, like a contract where MC is a servant and the 3rd disciple is the Master. That is to keep watch on MC that he wont abandon his work. So yeah, along that journey, ML knew all along that MC was following him so he approached him disguised by Seung-hyo, saved MC from enemies.
from that point, they had a journey to save children bcs of Gwak-ho scemes. A young lady appeared, her name is Jo Myorang, 13yrs old and she is the self-proclaimed fiance of real Seung-hyo so she was shocked by the sudden changes of her dear fiance lmao, it was ML all along and boi, he's gay through and through. He doesn't like women a bit.
anw, this jo myorang put aphrodisiac on ML's tea, but MC drank it. so ML and MC had chuchu, ML can't remove the aphrodisiac caused it made it even stronger by the Gu worm so he had no choice but to do the deed with MC despite having another man's appearance. Myorang heard it all, they did it for 2 days lmao, she was behind the door all this time lol.
at this point, MC is now attached to the disguised ML bcs he was saved thrice and at some point, MC was even willing to risk his life for ML, that made ML's jealous cuz why the fck MC is so blushy and cutesy with seung-hyo's appearance.
despite his jealousy, ML is a lustful man lol. He kept leading MC with his disguise. The first time MC met the real seung-hyo, MC immediately knew that something was off, thatit was not ML, it was bcs of his palm lmao. ML's palm is soft, while real seung-hyo was full of callouses. when ML knew abt this he was real mad at real seung-hyo, even though seung-hyo just lightly tap MC's shoulder lol.
anw, MC at the very last chapter of manhwa raws, ML disguise came to an end when he had to go away for a few days to follow enemies, so he made real seung-hyo to watch for MC. this made MC doubt even more and immediately realized that it was not him and threatened real seung-hyo,
real seung-hyo confessed the truth to MC. MC was devasted and still dont know who he fell inlove for. Yes, MC fell for ML's disguise.
bcs of their enemies (lmao idk), MC got really hurt and got burned on his back, the one who saved him was ML. Also i think, at this part, ML was supposed to capture gwak-ho but he prioritize MC so gwak-ho got away. this lead to a war lolol. He chose MC over a thousands lives, yes crazy right.
so ML nurses MC, he stayed by his side as ML but when MC was slowly recovering he remained with his disguise. at the carriage, they had a their confrontation. this was when ML revealed himself. Mc was mad, though he's still fearful with ML bcs duh, he is the boss, the strongest, the heavenly demon but still, MC tried to stand his ground.
ML had this frank way of speech, like he's so salty and bashful but at the end, he tries to show his love for MC huhu. at the carriage, ML kneeled!! like fr, the strongest, the shittiest man alive kneeled in front of a lowly commoner MC lol. ML didn't ask for forgiveness HAHAHA, he has the nastiest personality, he somehow confessed while gaslighting MC.
