Lin Jinghong is straight, but he happens to have a strikingly beautiful face. Men are always asking him out, so ever since he transmigrated, he's kept the advice of his danmei-obsessed childhood friend firmly in mind.
Upon entering the immortal realm, don't choose the Heartless Dao, and don't get too close to anyone who follows it. That way, you can avoid the plot where "cultivating the Heartless Dao automatically gets you a wife," and avoid being handed out as someone else's wife, too.
Work hard at cultivation and keep things cordial but distant with fellow cultivators from the various sects. Don't become their best friend, but don't become their sworn enemy either, since either could turn into a "we spent a century together, so I'll love you forever" friendship story, or a "we may be on opposite sides, but that doesn't stop us from falling in love" nemesis story.
Even the unavoidable choices need to be diluted by sheer numbers. If you take a master, take eight. If you take disciples, take nine. If you save people, save ten cities.
When traveling, make up a dozen different identities on the spot.
He knew he couldn't become that special person, the bright moon hanging high in the night sky. But it wasn't until he became the White Moonlight in the hearts of all the various Dragon Aots that he realized there was such a thing as a shared romance trope.
# One day, a great-world secret realm appears in the Lingxiao Realm again #
The sects of the Lingxiao Realm decide to hold a cultivation tournament to determine how resources will be distributed, and while they're at it, crown the strongest cultivator of the age.
Dragon Aots from every corner invite the White Moonlight in their hearts to come watch.
When the appointed day arrives, each Dragon Aot spots someone, and only one person, wearing the bracelets, rings, hair ornaments... that he, he, he, he, he... gave them.
He, he, he, he, he...: Damn it, you're stealing my wife? Die!
That year, the sects' young talents beat each other to a pulp.
That year's winner crushed everyone else.
