I Hear You're Cultivating the Heartless Dao

[Not updated daily; the weekly update count depends entirely on inspiration]

Transmigrating into a book should have been a fresh start, but Xue Baichuan got the worst possible opening: the System had given up, and his identity was unknown. Luckily, after sneaking into the Imperial Kitchen for half a month just to keep himself fed, things finally started to turn around a little.

But only a little.

Maybe transmigrating into a cultivation novel was too common, because this trip into a book turned out to be anything but ordinary.

The protagonist awakened and restarted the world, the System went into shock and babbled nonsense, never telling the truth, an otherwise ordinary secret realm was full of modern sci-fi elements, and in the end, he even discovered that he wasn't human...

He didn't have to follow the plot.

His only task was to cultivate the Heartless Dao and stop the protagonist from turning evil and destroying the world.

But he was the tenth person to transmigrate into this book, and everyone before him had died.

-

So... can anyone tell him why the protagonist was so insistent on marrying him, and accused him of lying at the West Wang Sea?

He was clearly from the modern world.

*"If one day you're gone, I think I'll spend the rest of my life looking for you."

*"I'll find you, then take you home."

[Reading Guide]

1. Two strong leads, 1v1, the gong and shou only have eyes for each other. No universally adored lead, male rivalry, disposable gongs or shous, or other ridiculous character rewrites. Do not break up the canon couple.

2. Past and present lives. Both leads have amnesia early on. The early story focuses more on the shou's growth; later it becomes a slight ensemble piece, not just the two leads. The romance remains centered on the gong and shou.

3. The shou's perspective is a transmigration story; the gong's perspective is an infinite-flow story. There may be a tiny bit of wall-smashing drama.

4. Only 10% angst, with a happy ending. No abuse, no abuse, this is not an angst novel.

5. I'm not very familiar with lively, cheerful characters, so I'm still learning to write them. Updates are irregular too, so enter at your own risk.

6. Everything is fictional. Please don't draw parallels to real life.

7. This isn't a trope-focused story. If anything, the trope is the Heartless Dao. The gong's personality isn't what you might expect, either. I'm just making things up as I go.

8. Enjoy the story, please don't make personal attacks, and there's no need to tell me if you drop it.
