Synopsis

Two male leads + devoted to each other + transmigrate into a book + cultivation

Song Ci was a gaming addict who suddenly died and transmigrated into a book written by his best friend. He landed right at the ending. Talk about thrilling!

Afraid he’d be reduced to ash, Song Ci jumped off a cliff, but before he could even finish the leap, the male lead pierced him through the heart with ten thousand swords. He slowly fell toward the bottom of the cliff…

Suddenly, a System appeared and said it could save him. Song Ci bound himself to it…

He’d been completely dead, but now he was alive again. Except, hadn’t he gone back way too far? He’d been revived at the age of twelve, when the male lead was twelve too…

And so,

Song Ci diligently began raising a child.

Before he knew it, he’d become an insanely powerful big shot, but he wanted to keep a low profile!

When the male lead needed cultivation resources, he went and stole them.

When the male lead’s spiritual root was destroyed, he cut out his own and gave it to him.

When the male lead was attacked by a crowd, he went to save him.

…

At last, Song Ci raised the male lead into a worthy successor to socialism and retired with his work complete.

Before he could return to the real world, the System said there’d been a data error. Song Ci was speechless.

He was sent back immediately. Not long ago, he’d revealed that he was the very big shot everyone worshipped, shocking the entire cultivation world. The man who should have been dead soon appeared before everyone once more.

When Jiang Xingyun was twelve, he met someone who stayed by his side all along. Later, when he was finally strong enough to protect him, that person died. Jiang Xingyun went mad overnight.

Then, later,

he met him again. He’d always wanted Jiang Xingyun to be an upright person, and Jiang Xingyun obediently did as he was told. As long as he didn’t leave, that was all that mattered…

Jiang Xingyun had Song Ci locked up. His eyes bloodshot, he pleaded, “A-Ci, please don’t leave…”

Looking at the person before him, Song Ci could only wonder: why was it so hard to just go home…

Please Recommend Fake-Death Stories! I've Never Found One on Tomato!

The protagonist unconsciously wins the other person's heart early on, then tries to fake their death and escape because of their identity or some other reason! They get caught under their new identity, hehe. Romance or BL is fine. No angst, no quick transmigration, and no ongoing series.

I want to read something similar to Transmigrated into a Book: The Sickly Villain Is My Ex. Something like this, preferably involving transmigrating into a book, with intense angst and intense sweetness. The sweet parts should be the female lead teasing the male lead and falling in love with him. The angsty parts should be the female lead leaving or dying, leaving the male lead utterly heartbroken.

Looking for books similar to "Your Majesty! The Madam Brought Seven Snake Cubs and Turned the Three Realms Upside Down". I once read a book where the heroine returned with a child.

The hero was also in one of the heroine's sects, or maybe the other way around.

"Encounters arising from missions, perhaps it's all predestined." The author uses a gentle, flowing style to depict the two teenagers, making the reader feel as if they truly existed before. At the same time, I have high hopes for the plot of this book and hope it won't have a bad ending. But I believe that even though this book is finished, their story continues, and we are just observers watching them for a while. The End

This is very well-written; I'd honestly give it 5 stars. Both main characters are quite aware of their own feelings. Song Ci, having transmigrated into the book, knows they will eventually be separated. Song Ci has a somewhat laid-back personality, but he's also very strong. He doesn't argue over trivial matters, but he often acts impulsively when it involves himself or the other main character.

It's really good! The later part, the struggle against the upper realm and evil spirits, inexplicably reminded me of modern China. Both times, the forces were vastly different, but our ancestors sacrificed their lives to create the wonderful life we have today. 😢

It's a promising book, but the author is a novice, and the connection and handling of some plot points aren't particularly good, and the pacing is a bit fast. The overall plot is very engaging to read. Of course, while reading, you can sense that the author wanted to highlight some key plot points, but the writing felt rushed.

After finishing the whole book, I don't know how to rate it. I can't describe the feeling he gave me. Whether their experiences were ultimately a blessing or a curse is impossible to judge. Redemption? No, it can't be described, nor can it be described with that word. Fate, huh? Song Ci never believed in it, nor did he acknowledge it.

The content is complete; as long as you follow the plot, you can understand it. The character portrayals have their own highlights; one is more like the sun, and the other is an iceberg that appears aloof to outsiders. It has a good plot with ups and downs, and overall it's worth watching. ♡

It's so good!!! 😆😘😘 I love it! But author, just a quick question, will the ending be sweet? I'm too scared to continue reading after looking at the chapter list. Before it's finished, please, author, I want a sweet ending!! 😢😢 It's so good! So good! So good! I feel like the author is almost done updating! In the latest chapter, they're reunited!!! The ending is happy, right?! Author, I love you!!! I love you to death!!! 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

It's quite good, but also very heart-wrenching. The ending is somewhat sweet. Aci died three times in this life: once when she first transmigrated, once when sealing the Demon Emperor, and once when fighting against people from the Upper Realm. Xingyun died once, to destroy the Black Dragon.
