The master is the ML, he always send a piece of him in every arc and they always fell inlove with MC

Cold Older Brother Nie Qingcang x Adopted Wayward Younger Brother Lu Rongqing

Reborn Lady wants revenge for her past life. Her sister pushed the blame for many of her own crimes onto Lu Rongqing instead. Reborn lady figured he did it because she had a persecution complex and Lu Rongqing had a crush on the same man as her. The arranged revenge is very cruel as she wants all of her so called enemies to experience the same end as herself regardless of intensity of their crime.

Gu Bai solution: Do not offend older brother, hold thigh!

Demonic Sect Leader Qin Shitian x Little Guard Ah Jiu

Sect Leader is interested in his disciple, but his disciple despises this unconditional love. He instead decides to steal the sects greatest treasure and elope with his Master’s enemy. He died along the way. His new partner gets revenge for the betrayer’s rather just death using the stolen goods and is from then renowned for the great affection he and the dead man shared. It’s a little s*upid that he could accept any man than the one that truly loved him. It turns out later that the enemies affection is not nearly as deep as it was made out to be. Ah Jiu wishes to protect his master from this s*um since his master wasn't willing to protect himself.

Gu Bai solution: Protect Master, Hug Golden Thigh!!

Trigger: Attempted Assault by ML on another man (halted)

s*umbag stepbrothers; Royal Connoisseur Ji Zhangyin x Blue Eyed Beauty Du Yunxi

The cold older brother treats him as a replacement for his white moonlight while the hedonistic second brother wants to rope him in as a plaything.

Gu Bai solution: Replace the white moonlight and then run away with the Golden Thigh!

Straight Older Bro; Game Mongul Pei Moqian x Arrogant Bastard Tang Zihao

Younger bro loves older bro one-sidedly. Luckily the owner of the online game will lead the MC out of this shadow, but not before he can force the OTP of the older bro to completely break apart. The main (?) villain makes his first and very brief cameo where he doesn’t even deign to leave his name to the readers.

Gu Bai solution: wing it until he can find his golden thigh

Trigger: Disses Female’s Physical Ability compared to men

I’ve been making these notes as I reread and I haven’t reached this arc yet. I’ve forgotten the exact plot, but it should be a “standard” palace drama involving an unscrupulous monarch who falls for his pet who can (thank god) assume a human form. I think there may have been an additional tie to Arc 8??

Gu Bai Solution: To be Updated

Triggers: ML won’t even let go of a Dog

Underworld Boss Xiao Yi x Switched at Birth Su Yu

The name is a literal meaning. His retrieval of the plot was interrupted so he doesn’t know anything but the past of his character. He has to feel out and guess what the plot is. The apocalypse itself has been accidentally caused by an imprisoned Taotie, so this is a modern world -> cultivation arc disguised as a zombie apocalypse.

Gu Bai Solution: Grab the Golden Thigh Early

Crown Prince; Imperial Uncle x Crown Prince Consort

The reborn Crown Prince feels betrayed by his consort Rong Yi. He sacrificed so much yet failed to grasp the man’s heart, or so he believes. The truth is that Rong Yi got revenge for the Crown Prince before his ultimate fate of getting beheaded. It is actually the Crown Prince who doesn’t love Rong Yi enough. He cares too much about his widow marrying his brother, but doesn’t consider that he already died. He would prefer that Rong Yi had died too rather than remarrying. The only wish for Rong Yi is that the Crown Prince who utterly ruined Rong Yi after taking in a new lover should regret for the rest of his life!

Gu Bai Solution: Punish the Golden Thigh for recruiting so many beauties into his Harem!!

A lot of very important clues are in this arc. You slowly find out about the conspiracy behind the scenes that has been attempting to separate Gu Bai and Ye Cang.

Gu Bai Solution: To be Updated

Gu Bai was originally a puppet with a human soul called Baigu. His master fell in love with him, but couldn't accept his own feelings and decided to cultivate the ruthless dao. He succeeded in cutting off his feelings to everything BUT Baigu. However, Baigu never noticed his master’s regard and instead fell in love with Ye Cang. His master calculated against him and sent him into Nirvana to forget all of his feelings. Baigu went along with this in order to cut off his ties to his master and gambled that he would still love only Ye Cang. He made some failsafes and everything should have worked out if it weren’t for the scheming of his master’s bee and butterfly.

This Senior Sister had loved the master even before Baigu was created. She is the one who sent Baigu to Ye Cang. She also controlled Baigu to stab Yu Cang and even ripped out Baigu’s heart with her bare hands (literally) to eat it. She didn’t stop even after Baigu was ‘dead’ and started to scheme against both Baigu’s recovering soul and Ye Cang. She wants to relish the moment Baigu survives only for Ye Cang to be dead. She is the one who was crazy enough to cut off the path of reincarnation for the worlds in which Baigu’s soul traveled.

Ye Cang has in the meantime been making use of his ‘forced imprisonment’ to both cultivate and to harvest souls to a new world he has been creating for Gu Bai. A world that will accept him for who he is. A haven for lost and bullied souls.

Gu Bai Solution: Play along with the ruthless master until he finds a chance to retrieve his heart and escape with his Golden Thigh!

When The master appeared for the second time, I swore that I knew he was going to be the Ml. But of course, the main reason was probably him getting to much screen time and his appearance described with a lot of detail
