Synopsis

[The System makes me play a wicked cannon fodder, but why do I keep saving the male and female leads during missions?]

Qin Gu used to be an undercover agent who lived on the edge. After dying in an explosion, he transmigrates into a useless cultivator with shattered meridians and a ruined Dao foundation.

The original owner was once a peerless prodigy of his sect. He burned through his strength to protect all living beings, fell from glory, and suffered the scorn of everyone around him.

Qin Gu is indifferent to life and death after transmigrating, until a weepy System 007 binds itself to him.

“Host! Follow the plot and play the wicked cannon fodder, and you’ll get the thing you desire most!”

But the plot goes off the rails from the very start:

He’s supposed to poison the male lead, but through a twist of fate, the male lead’s master drinks it instead.

He’s supposed to steal the female lead’s secret-realm opportunity, but ends up taking a deadly attack for her.

After one “mistake” after another, Qin Gu somehow becomes the beacon of righteousness that both the male and female leads admire?

The System breaks down. “Host, are you cannon fodder or a saint?!”

Qin Gu calmly sheaths his sword. “Don’t ask. I have my own rhythm.”

After sneaking down the mountain time and again, he’s cornered against a wall by his aloof, icy master, whose cold gaze pins him in place:

“Who exactly is down the mountain, that you keep sneaking off despite the danger to your life?!”

Qin Gu chuckles. “If I say it’s a System mission, would you believe me?”

[A world-weary, cold-hearted undercover agent on the receiving end × a scheming, powerful master on the giving end. Two strong leads clash, and after the plot goes off the rails, everyone is trying to win over the other side.]

Your writing is like a nimble sprite, roaming freely in the realm of words. Every character, arranged and combined by your hand, seems to be imbued with vibrant life. The stories you create are full of twists and turns, like a stirring melody, firmly gripping the reader's heartstrings, drawing them in and making them feel the joy and sorrow of the protagonist's fate.

There's not much to say, it's just a little different from the master-disciple stories I usually read. It's a very novel setting, but I don't know why, seeing Xiao Tan Gu like this makes me feel really sad. It's a great read, I just hope the later plot isn't too heartbreaking 😄

Personally, I think this book is quite good. It's different from typical master-disciple stories. The addition of the judge character later on feels a little disconnected from the earlier parts, but since I like both of these books, I think it's alright. Overall, the author's concept is very novel. I hope the author can resolve Qin Gu's life-threatening situation quickly and completely.

Undeniably, the plot and writing style were captivating. However, the early storyline, where the protagonist's physical limitations hindered his progress, was excessively long. I wouldn't recommend reading this fast-paced story; it will be tedious. If you really enjoy it, I suggest waiting until the end, skipping chapters as needed, and catching up later.

The writing is delicate, with emotions bursting forth in every word, both touching and moving. The emotions evoked in the story drew me into the protagonist's perspective, making me feel as if I were there, as if I were being forcibly pulled into the protagonist's life.

Absolutely stunning! It makes you eager to keep reading. The characters are vividly portrayed, each with their own story and stance. There are no absolute good or bad, yet they are all memorable. The detailed descriptions are textbook-worthy; from the smallest blade of grass to a character's glance or gesture, everything is meticulously depicted, creating a vivid picture.

Ugh, I've finally read over ninety chapters and am finally leaving a comment. Putting aside the plagiarism issue with *The Judge*, the writing is decent, the pacing is slow, but there are a few noticeable disconnects. After resolving the matter of his master's friend, there's been no clear answer about Di Yun's whereabouts.

The author's writing is good; I highly recommend this unique cultivation novel. However, it has too many plot holes, leaving me wanting more and wishing someone would immediately spoil the ending for me.

This book is so good! The CP pairing has captured my heart, and I absolutely adore the character of Qin Gu. Actually, I didn't have high expectations at first because there weren't many ratings, but the author really surprised me and hit me right in the heart. 🤓 This will be my number one book from now on. I hope the author can update a little bit faster. 🤏🏻 I will follow the author to the death!
