[Coming soon: The Crybaby Crown Princess and I Want to Have a Baby with the Immortal Venerable Today, Too. Please add them to your favorites!] A note before you start: I'm not doing too well, so updates will be slow. Wait until I've finished before jumping in. Only after Yun Shangyang was reborn did he discover that he'd merely transmigrated into a xianxia novel. In the original story, the villainous big boss would one day destroy heaven and earth, shatter the entire cultivation world, and bring the world crashing down. His mission was to reform the demonic venerable and turn him from evil to good. At the time, the mighty demonic venerable was just a pitiful outer-sect disciple, bullied by everyone. Worse, people coveted his spiritual roots because of his exceptional talent, and framed him. Yun Shangyang decided to play the hero and save the beauty, then... treat the big boss as well as he possibly could. No master? My father will be your master. Your sword is broken? Your senior brother will help you forge a life-bound sword! No cultivation manual? A dual cultivation manual counts as a manual too, right!? To keep the pitiful boy from falling into darkness and becoming a demon, Yun Shangyang spared no effort. Just as he was celebrating the young demonic venerable's increasingly promising cultivation prospects, the story seemed to take a strange turn. In a secret realm The young demonic venerable held him in his arms and kissed him: Senior Brother is so sweet. Yun Shangyang slapped him away: This has to be fake! An illusion! An illusion!!! The young demonic venerable clutched his chest: Senior Brother is so mean. In the Ancient Alchemy Realm Yun Shangyang was engrossed in discussing alchemy with a certain man. The young demonic venerable clutched his chest, looking weak: Senior Brother, that beast just hurt me. Come take a look, it really hurts! Yun Shangyang hurried over to inspect the injury, only to be pulled into someone's arms. The young demonic venerable was domineering and proud: I knew that, to Senior Brother, I'm more important than alchemy! At the Demon-Sealing Realm Yun Shangyang was busy refining pills, hoping to help the young demonic venerable break through the boundary. Ling Su looked disdainful: Instead of pills, why don't we study dual cultivation, Senior Brother? It's safe, painless, and feels great! Yun Shangyang: ... A group of old ancestors: Young people really are full of energy! We're envious, but we can't say that. * Everyone who had ever treated Ling Su well in his life had died for him one by one. He no longer dared to give his heart away so easily. Until someone came along who treated him sincerely and asked for nothing in return. When he saw him smile, Ling Su wanted so badly to kiss him! When he saw him cry, Ling Su wanted so badly to hold him! When he saw him getting close to someone else, Ling Su wanted so badly to kill the people who coveted him. He carefully restrained the surging feelings in his heart, until he had completely gathered that person into his arms. He tucked that person away in his heart... very, very deep. * A little extra: One day, Yun Shangyang woke up feeling sore all over and found several manuals under the bed. He opened one and read the title: How to Act Weak in Front of Your Beloved to Win Their Concern How to Defeat Your Rival in Love: A Few Tricks Are All You Need Can't Sweet-Talk? Try These Poses What to Do When Your Beloved Discovers Your Little Secret Yun Shangyang searched the entire sect but couldn't find him. In the end, someone told him: "Uncle-Master Ling went off to unite the Demon Realm, so the demonic cultivators won't wander around and offend your eyes, Master." Yun Shangyang: ... You think that means I'm not going to settle the score with you? He squeezed the several manuals in his hand until they crackled. Ling Su sneezed violently, then opened the last little manual and studied it carefully. At the end, he found a note: Everything above is complete nonsense. Junior Brother, try it out and let me know how it goes. Signed: Your Love Bodyguard, Third Senior Sister. For a moment, Ling Su was completely flustered. He'd used every one of Senior Sister's manuals on his senior brother. Was it still in time to go back and apologize? Coming next: The Crybaby Crown Princess An Linmu was a famous top-tier body double in the entertainment industry. He excelled at music, chess, calligraphy, painting, military strategy, and literature. Everyone in the industry thought it was a shame that someone born to be a leading man insisted on taking supporting roles. In truth, he just wanted time to read novels and didn't want to take on too much work. Then one day, he suddenly transmigrated into an ancient danmei novel and became a crybaby crown princess who was treated as a substitute. The crown princess was beautiful and refined, but a complete beauty with no brains. Relying on her father, the great general who guarded the nation, and her brother, a general who protected the country, she ran wild in the capital. She was also deeply infatuated with the Crown Prince and insisted on marrying him. Everyone thought the Crown Prince would reject her outright, but an imperial decree announcing their marriage left them all stunned. The crown princess got her wish, but made a scene at every turn, throwing the whole palace into chaos. Everyone hated her, and the Crown Prince grew to despise her. She met a tragic end. An Linmu: She had such a good hand, yet played it terribly. That's quite a talent. At the Empress Dowager's flower-viewing party, the noble ladies looked forward to seeing the crown princess make a fool of herself, only to be dazzled by her performance of "Phoenix Seeks Its Mate." An Linmu gazed tenderly at the Crown Prince: My feelings for Your Highness are like a song, sung from the heart. The Crown Prince looked at the glimmering tears in those peach-blossom eyes and rubbed his ears, which were growing warm. At the royal hunt, the princes competed against one another, when a flying arrow came straight at them and killed the prey they were fighting over. An Linmu went to claim credit from the Crown Prince, but his eyes were brimming with tears: Your Highness, the prey is too heavy. I can't carry it, and I've hurt my hand too. The Crown Prince looked at the red mark on that fair wrist and scratched his suddenly itchy throat. The crown princess was talented, delicate, and sweet, and every day she left the Crown Prince feeling weak and tingling all over. The food is too hot? The Crown Prince must blow on it! The water is too cold? The Crown Prince must coax him! The bed is too cold? The Crown Prince must hold him! The Crown Prince had treated An Linmu as a substitute for that person, but day by day, he became lost in the crown princess's tender embrace. Later, an enemy kingdom sent envoys to sue for peace, offering a princess and a prince in a political marriage. Everyone saw the former Crown Prince's companion, who was supposed to have died in an accident, now living as a prince of the enemy kingdom. Just as everyone wondered which of them was the substitute for whom, An Linmu disappeared without warning. Food had no taste. Water was ice-cold. The bed was freezing. The Crown Prince thought about the crown princess all day, and finally went mad. One day, at the border, the Crown Prince saw a man who looked just like the crown princess. The man wore a fitted martial outfit and held a long spear, routing the enemy kingdom's forces. Before the Crown Prince could rejoice, he saw another man who looked like himself beside him. The two were holding hands with a little child and happily heading home. The Crown Prince was struck as if by lightning and froze on the spot. An Linmu: A substitute? No such thing.
