When the Restrained-Genre Dragon-Proud-Heaven Lost His Memory

Yan Xi blinked and found himself transmigrated into a book as the doomed senior disciple who, out of jealousy for the male lead’s talent, had abused him in every way. Karma came swiftly: the story had already reached the point where the male lead had mastered his cultivation and come to claim his head with a sword.

Yan Xi: What am I even supposed to say?

Faced with the murderous male lead, a future harem king wrapped in the trappings of a domineering hero but actually the protagonist of an explicit novel, Yan Xi panicked and grabbed a rock, landing a critical hit... and somehow giving the male lead amnesia.

Yan Xi: Am I really that badass?

Then he saw the sect master, his own master, standing behind the fallen male lead.

Yan Xi: Right. So it wasn’t me who was badass.

The System informed him that if the male lead died, he would die too.

To stay alive, Yan Xi secretly took the male lead home. With death hanging over him, he nervously lied, “I’m your Dao companion.”

The amnesiac male lead released his grip on Yan Xi’s neck and gradually came to believe him. From then on, he stuck to Yan Xi like glue, constantly asking to cultivate together. “Since I’m your Dao companion, why are you trembling so hard? Are you afraid of me?”

“Are you planning to abandon me?”

“Don’t even think about abandoning me again.”

Facing the obsessive man who had once sworn to kill him and now saw him as his only support, Yan Xi clutched his sore backside and fell into thought: Damn. I know you’ve got a huge appetite, male lead, but please tone it down. I’m not one of the people in your harem!

Has the plot gone off the rails?

And what should he do when the male lead regains his memories? How can he make this lie hold up long enough to reach the ending alive...

Both leads are each other’s only one.

🎀 Friend’s recommendation: “Staying Alive by Being the Domineering Hero’s Sidekick” by Sheng Ye Mocha Mashu

Timid but clever, adorable sunshine bottom × disfigured, obsessive, gloomy ghost top

On the first day after transmigrating into the role of a disposable fox spirit, Jin Yuanyuan hugged his big fluffy tail and trembled.

In the book, he seduced the protagonist Xiao Su, who cultivated the Way of Ruthlessness, and was slapped into a fox pancake before half a chapter had passed.

Before he could figure out how to keep away from the protagonist and stay alive, a System for helping cannon fodder turn their lives around bound itself to him and started aggressively pushing him to succeed:

[Host! Our goal is to steal the protagonist’s spotlight, become the cultivation world’s new top-tier star, and reach the pinnacle of life!]

Not far away, Xiao Su was gravely wounded and on the verge of death. It was the perfect opportunity to strike.

The instant the young man’s fierce black eyes swept over him from behind a mask, Jin Yuanyuan blurted out, “B-but couldn’t I get plenty of screen time by being his sidekick?”

System: [...You’re the worst Host I’ve ever had.]

Xiao Su had once been the darling of heaven. But after rumors spread that he possessed an ancient treasure, he was ambushed, disfigured, and cast into the depths of despair. Everyone wanted to kick him while he was down.

On a snowy night, gravely wounded and near death, he thought he would rot in that ditch. Then a little golden figure came trembling toward him.

“If I save you, could you...”

Another person after the treasure.

Xiao Su sneered. As expected, everyone was equally greedy.

But then the boy’s clear voice rang out:

“Let me be your sidekick!”

Later on

Xiao Su became famous after a single battle, but the entire cultivation world went mad.

That cold-hearted, ruthless man was giving a low-level fox spirit the treasures the whole cultivation world was fighting over, every day, like candy?

“That’s no sidekick. He’s obviously raising a child bride!”

When Jin Yuanyuan heard the rumor, he jumped up in outrage. “Don’t talk nonsense! The boss and I have a pure master-and-servant bond!”

Xiao Su stood behind him, his gaze unreadable.

Jin Yuanyuan cheerfully went about his days, completely oblivious.

Until one day, after Xiao Su had chased off the Nth cultivator who had been flirting with him, he pinned Jin Yuanyuan against a wall and rasped, “You’re not allowed to smile at anyone else.”

Jin Yuanyuan looked bewildered. “Boss, I’m recruiting talent for you!”

Xiao Su finally lost patience, pinched the soft flesh of Jin Yuanyuan’s cheek, and bit him.

When the kiss ended, Jin Yuanyuan’s little face was red and his eyes sparkled. “Boss! Is this some special way to transfer cultivation power?!”

Xiao Su: “...”

The System screamed in his mind: [He’s trying to seduce you, you idiot!]

❤️‍🔥 My next book: “The White Moonlight Becomes a Sword Spirit in a Substitute Romance”

Jiang Li was informed by the System that he had become a sword belonging to the male supporting character in a melodramatic substitute romance.

The male supporting character was beloved by all and the male lead’s white moonlight before he met the female lead. He was the cultivation world’s greatest Sword Sovereign and the most beautiful man under heaven. Every frown and smile of his was more lovely than flowers against snow, and he had completely bewitched the young male lead, who was just beginning to fall in love.

After the white moonlight vanished into dust, the male lead was plagued by inner demons, rose above the Four Realms, and became the violent Demon Emperor feared by all.

He kept only one lingering attachment to the sword that had stayed by the white moonlight’s side in life, polishing and cherishing it day and night.

“As a tool-like sword spirit, when the female lead tries to win him over but he grabs her by the throat, you must intervene at the right moment to save her, create an opportunity for them to bond, and help bring them together.”

“When the male lead suffers a cultivation deviation and prepares to slaughter innocents, you must understand the importance of self-sacrifice, clash with his inner demon, resolve his attachment to the white moonlight, and lower his corruption score.”

And so on, and so forth...

Jiang “Flopped-Like-A-Salted-Fish” Li pretended not to hear.

The System anxiously explained: The will of the book says the male lead must be won over by the female lead, let go of the white moonlight, and stop treating the female lead as a substitute. Once you complete the mission, you can return to your original world and continue living. Otherwise, the mission will fail, the world will collapse, and neither of us will survive!

Jiang “Opened-His-Eyes-Like-A-Salted-Fish” Li: What the hell are you talking about?

System: ...

*

Wen Jiu knew he was living in a book. All he had to do was obediently play the substitute in the early chapters, relying on his three-point resemblance to Jiang Shiyue. Sooner or later, the male lead would be moved by his kindness and thoughtfulness. Then Wen Jiu could act heartbroken and stage a dramatic chase-the-love-of-your-life-to-the-ends-of-the-earth arc that would shake all Four Realms.

Wen Jiu had been waiting for that day, but instead of getting his dramatic reconciliation, he heard that Yan Chongge had proclaimed his claim to the whole world with a sword in hand...

Why was he not even as good as a sword?!

*

The female lead was on the verge of suffocating, but Jiang Li did nothing. The male lead was slaughtering everyone in his path, but Jiang Li still did nothing.

The System figured that sooner or later, his rebellious, lazy nature would either get him destroyed by the unpredictable Demon Emperor or indirectly lead the entire world to ruin.

Until one day, the female lead came to demand an explanation.

The force with which Yan Chongge gripped the sword made Jiang Li’s waist and belly tingle. He shuddered and sent out a sword intent like falling pear blossoms, so light it was as if he were stretching after waking up, yet it pierced his opponent right through.

Meeting Wen Jiu’s disbelieving gaze, Yan Chongge smiled. “See? My wife’s jealous.”

Jiang Li: ?

From then on, Yan Chongge, the Demon Emperor of his era, would often call a sword by its former owner’s name, his voice tender and intimate, sometimes even using pet names. But whenever the sword failed to respond, he would get handsy with it.

Jiang Li couldn’t take it anymore. He manifested in Yan Chongge’s arms, hooked an arm around his neck, and smiled fiercely. “To be honest, I’ve put up with you for a long time.”

At last, the beloved whose memory had taken root in his heart was in his grasp. Yan Chongge’s eyes darkened as he turned the tables and pressed Jiang Li onto the bed. “Who hasn’t?”

The man’s thumb traced Jiang Li’s lips, his voice low and suggestive, almost beyond his control. “You haven’t held back as long as I have.”

System: ...Help! What do I do when the lazy sword spirit I summoned back is the actual white moonlight?!

He even killed the Main God who was threatening him into doing the mission with one sword strike!

Theme: Treat others with sincerity.
