I Transmigrated into a Universally Hated Villain, and the Male Lead Forced Me to Love Him

[From universally despised to universally adored] [Senior and junior fellow disciples + devoted to each other + hilarious cultivation + super sweet] [Tsundere, tough-talking gong vs. sharp-tongued shou who doesn't realize he's flirting]

Anyone who's dated Ling Chu has to admit he's “got serious skills”!

But who could have guessed that one day he'd transmigrate into a book as a cannon-fodder character universally hated by everyone, only to be...?

And the person involved isn't just anyone. It's Pei Yu'an, the male lead who can't stand the original character!

Ling Chu doesn't care who drugged him. He kicks out and says, “That'll cost extra!”

As a cannon-fodder character, Ling Chu has his own ideas and his own pace. Until he finds a way back, he figures, “A real man knows when to bend and when to stand tall,” so there's nothing wrong with currying favor with the male lead a little.

But seriously, who's going around saying he's bowing down for love and has no self-respect?

Ling Chu feels slandered. He's obviously just a lackey, okay?

Holding the newly published illustrated book that's become a sensation across the sect, Ling Chu fumes, “Just let me catch whoever started this! You'll be sorry!”

And while he's swearing to expose the rumor-monger, one person's thoughts go from suspicion: “Is he trying to pursue me?”

“He is trying to pursue me, right?”

To certainty: “He must be pursuing me.”

“He's definitely pursuing me!”

Then full-on tsundere: “Hmph, just because he's so nice to me doesn't mean I've forgotten what he did before. I don't like him at all! How should I turn him down tactfully?”

And finally, complete heartbreak: “What!? He wasn't pursuing me at all? I don't believe it! He must be lying!”

Watching the person who laughs and chats with someone else, Pei Yu'an's eyes turn red, and he can't hold back any longer...

You flirt and then run away? What kind of logic is that?
