This Plan to Transmigrate into a Book Is Way Too Thorough

*My other upcoming story, Do You Have a Grudge Against Me?, is looking for readers to add it to their collections TAT

[The proud, aloof-on-the-outside-but-soft-on-the-inside young master x the honest, slow-witted goofball]

After reading a book, Zhou Mi transmigrates into it in front of a crowd and is told to follow the plot and win over the Immortal Venerable. With everyone watching, Zhou Mi immediately drops to his knees and cries, "Dad!" Then he turns to the villainous side character and yells, "Big Bro!"

A conquest quest, but speedrun style.

There's no way he's following the romance route. After the villainous side character Shu Hu becomes his senior brother, Zhou Mi resolves to get on his good side and use him as a shield to avoid having to win over the Immortal Venerable.

He thinks he's on the brotherly, risk-your-life-for-each-other route. Who could have guessed that Shu Hu would start looking at him strangely? Blushing all the time is one thing, but why is he finding excuses to hold his hand?

Zhou Mi tries to pull his hand back and save their endangered friendship, but Shu Hu only grips it tighter and warns him, "Stop messing around."

Zhou Mi: Who's the one messing around here?!

Just when Zhou Mi thinks they can keep this up forever... Wait, what do you mean the human shield dies a few years from now?

Looking at the fated death scene written plainly in the plot, Zhou Mi knows he won't die because he's the protagonist, so he decides to save Shu Hu. But... how?

Zhou Mi can only show off his fine qualities:

Bravery: At worst, I'll die in his place.

Optimism: So what? It's not like I'll really die.

Efficiency: I'll go die for him right now.

Honesty: I've only got my wretched life to offer, so I'll go die for him.

As Zhou Mi calmly waits for death, ready to pack up and leave the world of cultivation, word reaches Shu Hu, who charges straight to Zhou Mi's room.

Shu Hu stares at him with a dark expression and asks coldly:

"Who's so important?"

One-on-one pairing, both are each other's first and only love, and the same goes for the story within the book. It'll all come together!

This is a slow-burn story and isn't suitable for readers with extreme character preferences.

Theme: Face danger without fear and hold firm to your convictions
