Synopsis
He Congrong, a destitute and indolent outcast from an immortal lineage, finds himself tasked with raising a demanding young apprentice. Unbeknownst to the lazy master, the boy is the reincarnation of a powerful Demon Lord who eventually uses his cunning to amass wealth and secure his master's loyalty. This novel leans heavily into the nurturing trope and the 'lazy master, hardworking disciple' dynamic common in comedic Xianxia BL. It is ideal for readers who enjoy slow-burn domesticity, power-imbalance dynamics, and lighthearted romance. Those seeking high-stakes action or complex political intrigue should skip this title. The story features a steady, daily-life pace that spans a significant timeframe, focusing on the evolving relationship and the humorous contrast between the master's apathy and the apprentice's ambition.

Editorial Review
At 101 chapters, this completed work is a concise entry in the BL genre that avoids the narrative bloat often found in webnovels. The primary strength lies in its character dynamics; the manipulative, possessive nature of the apprentice provides a satisfying foil to the master's 'salted fish' personality. However, the reliance on a slice-of-life format means the overarching plot is relatively thin, prioritizing romantic tension over deep world-building or external conflict. While it lacks complexity, it delivers a tidy, satisfying arc without the frustration of unfinished plot threads. It functions as a lightweight, comforting read that fulfills its premise efficiently. The transition from poverty to opulence provides a clear sense of progression, making the relationship growth feel earned despite the simple structure.
