Synopsis

#Nurturing a Child of Destiny #Funny and Lighthearted #Exploiting the System #No Female Lead, No Romance #Misunderstandings

“Senior Brother once told me, ‘Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river. Never look down on a poor young man!’”

“Senior Brother’s wisdom is almost demonic, a hundred times greater than mine. We mustn’t speak carelessly.”

“A mere Nine-Turn Soul-Replenishing Pill? If Senior Brother were here, he’d make ten or eight bottles and eat them like candy beans.”

…

Watching his junior brothers and sisters grow more and more powerful, Xu Qingci grew increasingly anxious.

On the first day after he transmigrated, the System told him that once these children of destiny came into their own, Xu Qingci would have to sacrifice himself for the sect, dying before their eyes and becoming the perfect, unforgettable person in their hearts.

After all, every protagonist needs a guide who can do everything except stay alive.

Xu Qingci: I’ll take it one day at a time. First, I’ll find myself a cultivation partner.

System: [Warning! Dual cultivation will ruin Senior Brother’s transcendent image.]

Xu Qingci: Then I’ll play the pig to eat the tiger.

System: [Warning! Pretending to be a [censored] will ruin Senior Brother’s sincere image.]

Xu Qingci: Then I’ll go to auctions and hunt for treasures.

System: [Warning! Talking about money will ruin Senior Brother’s refined image.]

Xu Qingci: Aaaaaaaaaah!

System: [Warning! Shouting will ruin Senior Brother’s scholarly image.]

Content notes:

The protagonist is an ordinary, kind person at heart, not a genuine genius or a decisive killer.

Laughing loudly is simply a kind of laughter distinct from smiling. It doesn’t mean you have to throw your head back to laugh. For the sake of the plot, the protagonist will pretend to be an expert and laugh loudly in the first few chapters.

Some chapters contain classical Chinese passages presented as historical records of the protagonist’s illustrious image in later generations. Skip them if you don’t like them; they won’t affect your enjoyment of the main story.

2025.10 update: Thanks for all your support! I’m planning to resume updates.

Transmigrate Into a Book and Become the Senior Disciple's Male-Male Pairing

I read this before but forgot to add it to my bookshelf. The male lead transmigrates into a cultivation novel. His original character is their senior disciple, a bad senior brother who never does anything good. Then the male lead has to die 99 times, I think, before he can go back, or something like that. The protagonist's surname might be Su.

His writing is exceptionally eloquent and theoretically sound. His prose doesn't feel rushed or sloppy; it unfolds gently and smoothly, like a refined gentleman. Standing out from a sea of vulgar writing, he's like a crane among chickens—keep it up!

I have serious doubts about the protagonist's character design and the author himself: a teacher who writes online novels. The novel is quite interesting, some of the jokes made me laugh out loud, and what impressed me most was that the author actually wrote his own biography in classical Chinese. I was completely awestruck while reading it; it was impressive but I didn't understand it. Anyway, keep it up!

I've reached chapter 72 now, and it's really good. I love the interactions between the protagonist and his younger brother so much—the touching bond, the atmosphere they share! [So full][So full][So full] "He is the one everyone hopes for, and also the target of everyone's criticism. Zhan is willing to be his brother's sword and shield, hiding in his brother's shadow."

So far, it's been great. The main characters are well-developed and have great personalities, and the theme is fresh and exactly my type. It's just that there aren't enough episodes. As long as this book doesn't have a bad ending, I'll keep reading until the end! And author, please update soon!!!

It's good, but... Due to my limited language skills, I couldn't think of a more tactful way to express my views, so I omitted a lot of language that would be criticized. The beginning was a little boring, it gradually got better, and then became boring again. I think the author had writer's block. :)

I think it's great. The author's writing style is the best I've ever seen among all the novels by Tomato, and the content is also my type. It's just that the author hasn't updated in a long time. I'd like to ask if the author plans to update again?

Excellent writing style, humorous tone, five stars! After browsing through Tomato magazine, I finally got to enjoy this gem – I deserve it! The protagonist's satisfying moments are straightforward, showcasing his superior demeanor. The characters are well-developed, and the plot is concise and clear. Whether it's the unconditional support of his sworn siblings or the powerful paving the way for him by his teachers, it all creates a light and enjoyable atmosphere.
