Fake death (bottom) + play the pig to eat the tiger + sworn enemies + top has a crush on the oblivious bottom + cultivation across many sects + two equally strong leads + transmigrate into a book + play the pig to eat the tiger (This story has some angst, so it may be best to subscribe one chapter at a time.)
Yan Zijin is the villainous male supporting character in a power-fantasy novel. He is warm on the surface but cold inside, two-faced, and willing to do anything to get what he wants.
That is how the System describes him. The novel's protagonist, Qi An, is the complete opposite.
A heaven-blessed prodigy, exceptionally talented, who can easily obtain everything Yan Zijin longs for.
Just as the plot dictates, the two become enemies while competing for a fortune in a secret realm.
From then on, Yan Zijin finds Qi An irritating no matter how he looks at him.
At the sect tournament, the spirited young man stands on the arena platform. Amid the cheers, the System shakes furiously in his mind:
[You're supposed to lose to Qi An in the story!]
Yan Zijin looks at Qi An, whom he just slapped off the platform. His expression humble, he scoffs inwardly: If you're bad, practice more.
At Cangyun Sect, Qi An hangs all sorts of rare magical artifacts on himself. They jingle noisily as he walks, and make an especially loud racket when he passes Yan Zijin. (Courting jpg.)
Poor Yan Zijin can't resist the temptation and robs him in a mask that very night.
After making off with the treasure, Yan Zijin sits in a tree dressed in black, unable to understand why the power-fantasy novel's protagonist is so weak and delicate. Propping his head on one hand, he sneers, "The Sect Master's personal disciple is nothing special."
Qi An looks up at him and asks a question that strikes him right in the heart: "Are you short on money?"
Yan Zijin bristles. ...That must be a provocation!
The System warns him again and again: [You must maintain the plot and protect the protagonist of the book!]
As if. Would the world really collapse without him?
It really would.
When the story's destined death arrives, blood spreads across the heavens and earth. A net closes in, and a flying sword tears through the air.
Yan Zijin stares in stunned disbelief. The familiar figure before him has already been pierced by the sword, blood splattering across his face.
Before he can recover, he looks down at Qi An, who has barely a breath left, and asks uncertainly, "...Was this part of the plot?"
Then he murmurs under his breath, "Could this be another one of Qi An's schemes?"
Half-dead, Qi An hears him and dies with his eyes wide open. (●__●)
The System grits its teeth:
[The main storyline has deviated again! The main storyline has deviated again! The main story... Host, return to the beginning and put the main plot back on track!]
Yan Zijin, reborn as a baby: ...? Did I say I agreed?

The following is the synopsis for my other ongoing serial, Do Ordinary People Have to Save the World Too?
Transmigrate into a book + save the world + cultivation across many sects + ensemble cast + lighthearted comedy + Heavenly Tome (a system-like entity)
Wen Ye: Do ordinary people have to save the world too?
Heavenly Tome: The heavenly elites are busy falling in love. Even if you're a maggot, you still have to crawl off and save the world. ❤
Wen Ye: Could you maybe be a little more tactful? 😇
The original plots of all three books have a tragic-romance vibe.
The Demon Lord falls for his aloof master... and decides to destroy the cultivation world so it can be buried with his beloved.
A sword prodigy falls in love with a young heir from a great family... and decides to destroy the cultivation world so it can be buried with his beloved.
The heirs of two nations love and fight each other... and decide to destroy the cultivation world so it can be buried with their beloved.
Wen Ye sees black: Do ordinary people really have to get involved?
Heavenly Tome: I'll give you a golden finger.
Wen Ye gets excited, thinking he'll receive extraordinary talent or an incredible background. Then the Heavenly Tome says, "You can save your progress."
Protagonist: Destroy it all.
Wen Ye, whose cultivation is pitifully weak: Wait! (Explodes a second later.)
After reloading.
Protagonist: Destroy it all.
Wen Ye: Your master, I... (Explodes.)
After the final reload.
Protagonist: Destr
Wen Ye slaps him before he can finish, quick as lightning.
Protagonist: ...
Heavenly Tome: ...
The world falls silent.
*
Qi Zuoshan first meets Lu Yi during the entrance examination.
Everyone else is unconscious, trapped in all sorts of inner demons. Wen Ye, however, is... asleep.
Later, Wen Ye becomes his junior fellow disciple.
In the middle of the night, Wen Ye goes to him. "Senior Brother, I don't understand this cultivation method."
Wen Ye gets lost. "Senior Brother, how do I get to the outer city?"
With a foxtail grass stalk on his head, Wen Ye asks him, "Senior Brother, would you be interested in saving the world?"
Qi Zuoshan: "...With you?"
Wen Ye nods.
Qi Zuoshan: "Very well."
Wen Ye, who was only saying it for fun: "Huh?"
Little scene
After Wen Ye causes trouble as usual.
Qi Zuoshan: Wen Ye, you're unbelievable! 😡
Wen Ye: Thanks for making me a legend. I won't let you down! 😘
Qi Zuoshan: ...👊
After he causes trouble again.
Heavenly Tome: Are we still saving the world?
Wen Ye: It's not that we're not saving it. We're saving it later, better, slower, and at a steady pace. Save the first to inspire the rest, and adapt the rescue to the situation.
Heavenly Tome: What does that mean?
Wen Ye: Subject, verb, object, modifiers, adverbials, and complements are all saving the world.
Heavenly Tome: What does that even mean?
· Wen Ye, an optimistic, upright, occasionally hot-tempered junior disciple bottom x Qi Zuoshan, a powerful "aloof" senior disciple top
The top is older!! Qi Zuoshan is not the protagonist of the original story, but a background character.
· I'll start once I have enough advance reservations.
· Most of the cultivation lore is my own invention.
· Painstaking cultivation to save the world (wrong)
A lighthearted, funny tale about saving the world along the way while cultivating and making friends (right)
· There won't be any major conflicts. Most of it is lighthearted and funny.
Raise an upright young man and have a normal, healthy romance.
· Updates follow the ranking before signing, then daily updates afterward.
Theme: Grow together
I've finished reading it. I've probably been following it since the 20th chapter. I like this article very much, because I am one of those very impatient people. I read many articles until they are finished, but this novel really gave me a long-running feeling. Although I didn't understand it when I first read it, it didn't stop me from liking the author's writing style and plot. The closed loop from the beginning to the end is really good, and the plot line is very smooth. It is complete and has the main line of the plot. The characters and characters of Yan Zijin and Qi An are all based on my aesthetic point. The trust without hesitation and the wandering love are integrated without appearing contradictory. Every quarrel is traceable and the emotional line is very fulfilling.
I started following it two days ago on August 28, 2026, and when I saw it, I found that it was just finished 😆. I read the last mermaid chapter in one sitting, and tears kept falling. It is really not easy for two people to be together. When I read this book, I really felt that the plot and foreshadowing were well written. I didn't feel this way before reading it. I have always liked Qi An's setting [make me healthy] and want to see all the inner thoughts of Qi An from birth to modern times [make me healthy] In other words All the plots are opened from Qi An's perspective. After watching the mermaid chapter, when Qi An was driven away by the fake Yanshan and saw all the things Zi Jin did, looking back now, it really hurts me. At first, I kept thinking why Qi An would do this for Zi Jin. Many, I thought it was the first meeting, but it turned out to be a reunion 🥺 I really never tire of this setting, I want to see all of Qi An's heart from birth to modern times 😆 In other words, all the plots are opened from Qi An's perspective [make me healthy]
Qi An and Yan Zijin have been together for a long time. There is a touch of happiness in the episode. After reading it, I feel warm in my heart.
I haven't seen such a beautiful article in a long time!
Boss, I love you hey hey [fanfan][fanfan][][]When I open a new post, please kick 🐰
Hehe, I want to see some sweet daily routine ❤️ 🌈 [orange candy] and I got it
No, no, no, no, no, why are the locks locked again😭
Dear author, can you write the if line of Qi'an's mermaid form? I really want to see it ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
OMG. . It's so pretty too!
I was also dropping pearls when I saw them crying. I am also from the mermaid tribe 😭
