My Lord, Put the Knife Down First

My new novel, My Lord, Hear Me Out, is now underway. The blurb is at the very bottom.

[Reborn] Vengeful, Self-Abasing Madman: The Powerful Top

[Book Transmigration] Clear-Eyed Face-Con, Softhearted Slacker: The Prince Bottom

When Jiang Wusi realized he had transmigrated into a book without even a golden finger, all he wanted to do was curse: Heaven is blind! Why me?!

But at first sight of the male lead, he thought... well, maybe it wasn't so bad. That face was truly dazzling.

As it happened, he had transmigrated into the villainous crown prince, who was destined to be stabbed by the male lead until he became a "human colander." The plot of courting death had already begun: his loyal subordinate had drugged the male lead on the original owner's orders.

Jiang Wusi, fresh on the scene: "...Nice."

After barely managing to stay alive, he discovered to his horror that the male lead had been reborn, and much earlier than before!

The male lead simply watched him run around and put on an act. What a good performance...

Jiang Wusi didn't want to die, so he decided to cling to the male lead. Wasn't the male lead investigating a case? Jiang Wusi was the crown prince, after all. The male lead should know better than him how to "control the lords by holding the crown prince hostage."

It wasn't like he was just falling for the male lead's looks. He just... couldn't help himself.

-

As for being reborn, Lu Shiguan could only think that Heaven had eyes.

In his previous life, his entire family had been wronged, and their name had never been cleared. This time, he swore to make every enemy pay in blood, including that good-for-nothing crown prince who was in league with snakes and rats.

But the crown prince was somewhat unexpected. In the biting chill of early spring, the culprit hurried over wearing only a thin nightshirt to stop him from drinking the drugged tea.

He was terribly afraid of him, yet clung to him all the same.

Could the crown prince have been reborn too?

He had wondered, but the crown prince seemed like a different person. Either way, it didn't matter. The crown prince liked his face, so he would offer it to him.

Why not make good use of a "flame sparked by good looks"?

-

Jiang Wusi offered his sincere heart, only to be manipulated again and again. His body and his heart were both wounded. He was tired, especially after learning that Lu Shiguan had a tragically deceased white moonlight.

"I see. It was all an act."

Who would have thought that Lu Shiguan would clutch his clothes and refuse to let go? "Who are you, really?"

Jiang Wusi: "If you're going to kill me, do it. Once I'm dead, I can leave this place."

At the mention of him leaving, Lu Shiguan went pale.

Jiang Wusi: He used to avoid me like the plague, and now he's throwing himself at me. Did he take the wrong medicine?

It wasn't until someone knocked him unconscious that he woke up with all his memories restored.

Jiang Wusi: ???

The tragically deceased white moonlight was... me?

[Reader's Guide ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ]

1. Both leads are each other's only partners! 1v1! No incest! A beloved older brother is still a brother. (P.S. There are two ways to calculate their age difference: 10 years or 2 years. The top is younger!)

2. Neither lead has a strong moral compass. The top is blinded by hatred early on and will truly do anything for revenge, even offer himself up. The bottom wavers between clearheadedness and surrender, and is not perfect in temperament or personality!

3. The bottom is not the crown prince, and has absolutely no connection to him. There are past and present lives~

4. I may occasionally veer into a silly, slapstick style. I'm still figuring it out, and hope I can make you laugh for no particular reason.

5. A fictional setting, very fictional. My head is empty. There is no political intrigue to speak of, and I may mix systems from different dynasties, so please read with an equally empty mind.

5. Please leave comments and add it to your collections! A deep bow of thanks (◍•ᴗ•◍)ﾉ♡

❗️Upcoming Novel❗️

Max-Level Master, Detached and Abstinent, But His Old Flame Rekindles: Master [Top]

Cultivation Weakling, Master's Biggest Fan, But Abandons Him After Taking His Virginity: Designer [Bottom] (Not really abandoning him after taking his virginity)

Song Fuxue's favorite cultivation novel, Ascending in One Step, was about to be adapted into a mobile game, provisionally titled Project Immortal. His favorite wasn't the protagonist, Long Aotian, but Long Aotian's master, Li Hanzhi, born with an immortal body.

Li Hanzhi was just one step away from ascending to heaven. Sadly, he was merely a stepping stone for the protagonist, and in the end he died for the world and for Long Aotian's ascension. This had once made Song Fuxue so furious he could have spat fire!

When he heard Project Immortal was recruiting character illustrators, he fought his way through every trial and finally became Li Hanzhi's dedicated designer. Every day, whether his eyes were open or shut, all he did was draw Li Hanzhi's breathtaking face.

At last, Heaven rewarded his dedication: he dropped dead from overwork.

He died just like that, with regrets he couldn't take to his grave.

When he opened his eyes, he was in the world of Project Immortal. The System said his obsession ran too deep and his resentment might invade the game, so it was giving him a chance to change Li Hanzhi's fate of certain death.

Song Fuxue: There's a chance like that?!

Li Hanzhi had always believed his Daoist heart was unshakable, but his new little disciple was a bit "overly concerned": afraid he'd be cold, hungry, or hurt.

At his level of cultivation, he could no longer feel cold, hunger, or thirst, and anything short of a fatal wound went unnoticed. He had been trapped in this world for so long that he had come to hate his own immortality. But his young disciple wouldn't let him entertain such thoughts, and in the end even gave up his life to take the tribulation that had been meant for him.

For the first time, Li Hanzhi wondered: What did a Daoist heart matter?

After cutting off Long Aotian's path to cultivation and setting Li Hanzhi on the road to ascension, Song Fuxue was triumphant. Then the System sounded an alarm: Li Hanzhi had fallen to darkness. Save him immediately, or the game world would collapse.

Song Fuxue stared in confusion. "Who fell to darkness? Who are you talking about?"

The System clung to Song Fuxue's trouser leg, crying. "Your master! Please! Save him!"

When he returned to Project Immortal, he became a cannon fodder character about to be sent to Chenshan to gather intelligence.

Li Hanzhi had been upright and principled all his life. If he found out Song Fuxue had seized another body and been reborn, he might personally purge the sect.

Song Fuxue clutched his secret identity tight. "How am I supposed to save him~?"

-

Snow had covered the peak of Chenshan for ten thousand years without melting. Song Fuxue shivered. "Master, why haven't you ascended?"

Li Hanzhi glanced at him gloomily. "Your master was abandoned after being seduced. I won't give up until I find him."

Those four words carried a lot of weight. Song Fuxue couldn't imagine anyone being that bold. "Who could be so blind to their good fortune as to abandon you?"

As soon as he said it, a shadow fell over him. Li Hanzhi looked at him deeply.

Later, the System showed Song Fuxue a replay of the "seduction and abandonment."

Song Fuxue: Wait, I did that?

System: My year-end performance review depends on this scene.

Song Fuxue: ...They're allowed to air this???

Theme: Love and courage!
