He confessed his love for his master in his later years, and his cheat ability finally arrived.

Lu Changsheng's second life was supposed to be his chance at greatness. Instead, he squandered decades in a foreign world, achieving nothing of note and resigning himself to the humiliating role of a kept man for the era's most formidable female prodigy. As the weight of eighty-odd years bore down on him, his youthful ambitions had long curdled into the bitter resignation of a man on the brink of death. But his beautiful master had not yet given up on him, summoning him to prepare her bath and attend to her every need—bathing, massage, and a full range of spa treatments that bordered on the intimate. In that suffocating haze of steam and resentment, something inside Lu Changsheng finally snapped. Could he truly die a gigolo, a lifelong disappointment? Defying all reason, he threw himself into the pool, casting aside the pretense of a disciple and forcefully seducing the master he had served for so long. The act was madness, and she knew it. She warned him of the sect leader’s inevitable wrath, the destruction of her body that would follow. To which Lu Changsheng simply laughed, a man with nothing to lose—at eighty, death by execution was just a different flavor of the end already waiting for him. It was exactly this reckless, defiant resolve that his master had been waiting for, and she finally praised him as a man. Yet, even as he basked in the triumph of his rebellion, Lu Changsheng realized the cruelest irony of all: only after he had successfully claimed his master did his long-awaited cheat ability, the ultimate power of a transmigrator, finally decide to awaken.
