I Have Absolutely No Designs on That Secret Identity

November 27, 2025, Thursday: VIP serialization begins. Chapters 21-52 will be behind the paywall.

As the strongest person of his time, Xue Song died before everyone's eyes while suppressing the Demon Venerable. No one thought he was still alive, but what they didn't know was that, with the System's help, Xue Song had been resurrected through an unclean ritual.

Without hesitation, he chose to walk the same path again, and dig up the inheritance he had prepared for himself back then.

There was just one tiny problem...

Someone saw him retrieving something and was stunned. "Why is his recording so gentle with you? Did he know you'd be the one to take it? Did you know each other?"

Someone saw him counterattacking a monster and was stunned. "Why does that move you used to kill the monster look so familiar? That's the Immortal Venerable's signature technique! He never taught it to anyone! How do you know it? Are you his disciple?"

Someone saw him dig up the wine he'd buried in his own courtyard and was stunned. "The Immortal Venerable never said there was wine buried here! How did you know? Did you bury it with him? Were you that close?"

Someone saw him secretly drinking his favorite wine and was stunned. "He likes the same wine as the Immortal Venerable? Is he secretly paying tribute to him? He must be, right? They were that close?"

Someone saw him get drunk and lie down in his own little house, and was stunned. "This house doesn't even have a key. It's protected by a formation the Immortal Venerable left behind, and no one but him can get in. Yet you walked right in? Do you sleep together? No wonder he won't let anyone else in! Are you his Dao Companion?"

Xue Song himself: "...How do I put this? I'm the person you're talking about."

Everyone: "That's enough. You must be so overwhelmed with grief that you've lost your mind. You should get some rest!" (Turns away) (Wipes away tears) "What a pure and profound love!" (Chokes up)

Xue Song: "What exactly are you crying about?" (Falls over)

Upcoming story: Xue Song and My Secret Identity Are Definitely Not Together

Xue Song transmigrates to an apocalyptic world, where his soul splits in two. He becomes both the strongest multi-ability user of the era and a powerless, gloomy, selfish, cowardly burden of a loser. The System tells him that he must maintain both personas while staying alive, or his soul will remain broken forever.

To survive, he has no choice but to do his best. But then a tiny deviation occurs...

He uses his ability-user persona to approach the loser. Onlookers are stunned: "Why would the strongest person pay attention to this loser? When have they ever met? Do they actually know each other? That loser is seducing the strongest!"

For safety, he puts the loser in the ability-user's safe house. The onlookers look uneasy: "Has this turned into 'the strongest takes him by force, and the caged canary sobs'...?"

To clear up the misunderstanding that there's a canary, he takes the loser out of the safe house. The onlookers cluck in sympathy: "The little canary's legs keep shaking. He can barely stand. He must have worked hard last night to beg the strongest to take him out, huh?"

To keep people from misunderstanding again, he stuffs the loser back into the safe house. The onlookers nod knowingly: "The strongest is jealous. He won't even let anyone glance at his little canary. He really does love him!"

Xue Song laughs in exasperation. "We're really not together!"
