How a Cannon Fodder Became the White Moonlight

1.

After transmigrating into a book, Cui Yujing found himself as a cannon-fodder character in a cultivation harem novel. He kept wavering until, in the end, one of the heroine's admirers ran him through with a sword.

He figured that anyone who wanted to be cannon fodder could have the job. He wasn't going to do it! Cui Yujing immediately packed his bags and went home to live as the young master he was.

But just after he got home, before he'd even warmed the seat of his pants, a beautiful, aloof immortal showed up.

He said he was there to take Cui Yujing to cultivate.

The immortal's surname was Lou, his given name Yang, and his courtesy name Jingxue. He was the heroine's very definition of a cold, distant, devoted love interest.

He was all icy stares toward everyone else, but all warmth toward the heroine, who gave him nothing but the cold shoulder.

Most importantly, he was the one who'd stabbed Cui Yujing to death!

Cui Yujing took a big step backward.

Lou Jingxue stepped forward.

Cui Yujing took another step back.

Lou Jingxue stepped forward again.

Cui Yujing shoved aside his half-height iron sledgehammer and sighed helplessly.

You chased a cannon-fodder nobody a thousand miles just to kill him? Don't you have anything better to do?

When he first entered the cultivation world, Cui Yujing found everything fascinating.

Every day, he watched the heroine outwit her obsessive admirers, and it always put him in a good mood.

But then...

Some ghost love interest: “Lian Zhixu is too close to you. I'm going to punish you.”

Cui Yujing rattled his chains, getting a little frantic. “Why punish me when you're jealous? Shouldn't you be kidnapping the heroine and pinning her to the wall?!”

Some demon love interest: “Bring me the most beautiful, most dazzling person in the crowd, Zhixu-gege!”

Cui Yujing got dragged back.

The demon blushed, then started tugging off his belt with a sigh. “Since it's you, I'll accept it.”

Cui Yujing took a big step back. “Do you have no standards at all?”

Some devil love interest: “I've kept myself pure for all these years. What's wrong with wanting two beauties?”

Cui Yujing silently took a step back. “You sure have good taste.”

Some master love interest: “Yujing, your master asked me to look after you.”

Cui Yujing: “...Then why did looking after me turn into getting me into bed?”

Some harem protagonist: “Please stop interrupting my cultivation.”

Cui Yujing: “...Then why are you clinging to me like a sloth?”

The harem protagonist blushed faintly. “It's a new cultivation technique I've been practicing.”

Cui Yujing: Do you think I'm buying that?

3. (The love interest's perspective)

As a young man, Lou Jingxue was diligent and hardworking. Apart from cultivation, he cared about nothing else. He thought he hated no one more than Cui Yujing, a wastrel who did nothing all day but neglect his studies and shirk his duties.

He was like a peacock strutting around for everyone to see.

When did Lou Jingxue's feelings for Cui Yujing change?

Maybe it was when Cui Yujing jumped off a cliff with him without a second thought. Maybe it was when Cui Yujing had barely enough strength left to get him out of the demon's lair. Maybe it was the moment Cui Yujing died and vanished from the world...

Lou Jingxue did not understand the twists of fate that had led them here, but he wanted to find Cui Yujing again.

Then he was reborn, only to find that Cui Yujing no longer wanted to cultivate...

He was no longer so dazzling, no longer so flamboyant.

But Lou Jingxue wanted him to shine. He wanted him to be flamboyant.

So the rivals in love who were meant to appear kept kissing him, and the only thing Lou Jingxue could do was clench his fists and push Cui Yujing to grow stronger.

But later, someone pried his tightly clenched fingers apart one by one. As their fingers intertwined, he saw Cui Yujing looking all aggrieved.

“Master, they're going to take me from behind!”

Lou Jingxue: “...”

Cold, aloof, secretly passionate, and fiercely possessive love interest

Troublemaking, cowardly yet wildly audacious protagonist

[Reader's Guide]

1. The love interest is reborn, and the protagonist transmigrates. They are the same people in both lives, and neither has been with anyone else.

2. The original story's “love interest kills protagonist” plot is fake.

3. The love interest was nice to the harem protagonist in his previous life because the two of them were the only ones who took cultivation seriously.

4. The protagonist plays it safe early on, then goes wild later on~
