[Transmigrate Into a Book + Regret and Redemption + Fake Death + Younger Tycoon Top × Languid, Cool Master Bottom] [Xie Jiangci is the bottom; the main text is in third person]
Lu Xingzhou transmigrated into a famously angst-filled novel.
His favorite character, Xie Jiangci, was the greatest swordsman in the world. He sacrificed his cultivation to mend the hole in the heavens for all living beings, was misunderstood by his disciple, jilted by his fiance, and ultimately died alone.
The comments section cursed the author every day.
Lu Xingzhou was one of them.
After transmigrating into the book, he did two things.
First, he anonymously sent a magic artifact to save Xie Jiangci from the hole in the heavens.
Second, on the day Xie Jiangci was jilted, he kicked down the door and paid eight million six hundred thousand spirit stones to buy out the entire plot of this trashy book.
The blurb from Xie Jiangci's perspective:
My name is Xie Jiangci.
I've known since I was thirteen that my life did not belong to me. I am the greatest swordsman in the world, a shield for all living beings, and a stepping stone for the child of destiny. I took on a disciple named Pei Yunqi, chosen by fate and destined to save all living beings. My task is to shield him from every calamity as he grows, then exhaust my cultivation in the hole in the heavens and die quietly, so he can walk over my bones and ascend to godhood.
Countless times, I tried to resist fate, but in the end, I couldn't turn my back on all living beings.
I once thought my life would end that way, until that person arrived.
It turns out that in a world I knew nothing about, someone had read my story and felt for me for years.
Jiang Ci is about to depart, and Yunqi has no way to cross.
But Lu Xingzhou came.
He said, "The river needn't say goodbye. I'll ferry you across."
