The White Moonlight Wants Only to Die

[Please don't blame us for pirated content~ Support the official version T v T]

Jing Xie transmigrated into a book, becoming a beautiful cannon-fodder character who shared his name, and the long-dead first love of the protagonist, Yan Ji.

After his death, the protagonist hated the other lead for killing him. The two were entangled in love and hate, passionately devoted to each other, and forged a rare bond. In the end, they understood and chose one another, bringing peace to the world.

Jing Xie: "Tsk, what a handsome couple."

A System voice suddenly rang out in his mind: "Host, please complete your character's final scenes."

Jing Xie, climbing a tree to raid a bird's nest: "?!"

"Host, please hurry up and die."

"..."

Uh, so I came here just to die?

Fine.

Guided by the System, Jing Xie searched for a tragic, beautiful way to die, hoping to make the protagonist unable to forget him. But...

But he had never realized that even dying could be so difficult.

He rushed forward to take a sword meant for Yan Ji, but Yan Ji shielded him beneath his own body, saying with utmost care, "Thank goodness you're all right."

He swiftly swallowed a deadly poison, but Yan Ji struck it out of him with a palm and searched the world for a cure. "If you dare to die, I'll have everyone under heaven buried with you."

He thought, Surely jumping off a cliff will work. He stood on Wufeng Cliff, with a bottomless abyss behind him.

He summoned his courage and leaped.

Then, as he plummeted through the howling wind, he saw Yan Ji jumping after him.

Jing Xie: "What the hell! You're really going all out, huh?"

He thought it would be another routine failure, but through the plot's efforts, he finally managed to die. He died in Yan Ji's distraught arms, his blue clothes stained with blood, his death beautiful and bloody. Yan Ji merely wiped the blood from his face and carried his body back to his residence.

Bright flowers and brocade surrounded the boy, carefully tending to a corpse destined to decay.

Jing Xie completed his task and prepared to go back for his reward, but the System kicked him back. "It's all wrong, all wrong! Back you go!"

Three years had passed in this world. The regent had gone mad, laying a vast and inescapable net. He tried every means of summoning Jing Xie's soul and spirit, and locked onto him the instant Jing Xie returned.

Yan Ji's eyes held a madness that had cost him all reason, yet he seized Jing Xie with eerie calm. He made no effort to hide his blazing fury and derangement:

"Xiao Xie, you always want to leave me behind."

T-T

"You damn human jackhammer! I should've known better than to come back!"

Reading Guide: Jing Xie (Xie, second tone)

1. Contains melodramatic love-triangle drama. The protagonist is pretending to have transmigrated into a book; the love interest is truly reborn.

2. Both are sexually inexperienced, 1v1, with a seven-year age gap.

The love interest loves the protagonist with all his heart in every lifetime, from beginning to end. Guaranteed!

3. The love interest's attitude at the beginning doesn't mean he doesn't love him. In fact, he's head over heels and will quickly come around.

4. The protagonist fakes his death and the love interest goes mad. After his return, there's a little imprisonment kink, just a little, with some obsessive love. I love it so much (‵▽′)

5. The plot is just an excuse to serve up jealousy.

6. The love interest really becomes a ghost later on! A ghost! A ghost! I'm repeating it three times because it's important!!! It gets a little dark, but no spoilers. Just buy one chapter at a time, and stop reading if it hits a nerve~ Thanks!

Please add my upcoming novel, Conquering the Universe as a Beautiful Ancestor, to your collection!

After sleeping for a thousand years, Chu Ying woke up in a brand-new sci-fi era.

The System from a thousand years ago had come with him:

"Long time no see, Host! Welcome to the great Transcendent Era. Let's restart our journey to conquer the stars and seas."

Chu Ying: "Explain yourself."

The System chuckled.

"Same as always: you have three days left to live."

"Gain faith points to stay alive."

Chu Ying quickly accepted reality. A thousand years ago, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he had brought the country to ruin with his beauty and toyed with the great men of the age. Now that he had arrived here, was it still the same old routine of currying favor to win affection? He was well versed in that.

He only had to win over a few people. It couldn't be too hard.

As usual, he asked the System to list the powerful people he needed to win over, so he could conquer them one by one. But the System's eyes lit up, and it tugged on his sleeve.

"Host, do you know the fastest way to gain faith points in this world?"

Chu Ying followed its gaze to a giant electronic billboard.

"What?"

"Become a global superstar."

"Hm? ..." Chu Ying blinked, trying to understand, then smiled slightly. "Sounds good."

/

Chu Ying fell in love with being a star.

A thousand years ago, he had to devote himself to his duties until his dying breath just to earn a little faith from the common people and the faintest glimmer of sincerity from the ambitious. Now, all he had to do was reenact his past, and countless people fell for him...

On screen, the Great Zhou crown prince, so clever he seemed almost demonic, won against all odds. On variety shows, a physical powerhouse with special-forces-level fitness kept breaking records. And in gossip columns, Chu Ying officially reclaimed his parents' estate and became a leading figure in an emerging industry.

Fans 😍: "My fave is insanely awesome!"

Haters 🤯: "The hell, is he even human?"

At the same time, the era's "chosen ones" came looking for him.

In public, Chu Ying was gentle, considerate, and dazzlingly charismatic. In private, he was wicked and capricious, and loved watching the powerful bend for love.

"Be good. Don't ask for too much, or you won't be cute anymore."

The chosen ones gazed up at him. "Okay."

.

In the Transcendent Era, technology advanced rapidly, but human biology had stagnated. The United Government signed treaties banning all experiments against humanity, yet it still couldn't stop the organization "Genesis" from infiltrating society.

By then, Chu Ying had won awards worldwide and become an undisputed global superstar.

Then he suddenly disappeared, and no one knew where he had gone.

When "Genesis's" human experiments erupted and humanity faced extinction, the United Government finally revealed its secrets and dispatched an army of superpowered soldiers to fight for humanity's future.

During the livestream before deployment, a familiar face appeared on the world's holographic displays:

Chu Ying.

"???"

The entire global network was stunned.

#MyIdolWentToWar?

#China'sHeartthrobSuperpoweredGeneralChuYing

#MyFaveIsSavingTheWorld!

#I Knew Chu Ying Wasn't Human!!!

#God

Before the mission, the System asked in confusion, "Host QAQ, why take on something so dangerous?"

The handsome face beneath his crisp military uniform lifted a hand to straighten his clothes. "What's the fastest way to gain faith points?"

"Become an international superstar."

"Wrong." Chu Ying smiled. "It's saving the world."
