After Awakening the Wrong Way, the Fussy Beauty Ran Away

·

Fu Yue Bai is a famously difficult beauty throughout the cultivation world. He's truly beautiful, and truly difficult.

The little darling is adored without limit by the Moonlight Immortal Venerable. Elders from every sect cherish him like a precious jewel, while his childhood friend, heir to the foremost immortal sect, dotes on him as if he were the apple of his eye, eager to give him the stars and never settle for the moon.

Fu Yue Bai is perfectly happy with this life, but just before he is about to become cultivation partners with his childhood friend, he suddenly awakens to the truth.

It turns out he's merely a universally hated cannon-fodder character in a sweet romance about an immortal sect.

His master favors him only because he resembles the master's long-ascended Dao companion. The sect indulges him only because they covet his Glazed Immortal Bones. Worst of all, his childhood friend spoils him just to make him useless, and on their wedding night, he'll even gouge out his eyes and tear out his heart, then personally extract his Immortal Bones and give them to his true love.

Fu Yue Bai draws a sharp breath. How the hell is he supposed to put up with that?

To save his own life, he runs away from home right before the wedding, shocking the entire cultivation world and making countless people ecstatic.

Did the little darling fall out with that fiend?

Doesn't that mean they all have a chance?

So when Yan Junheng finally finds the little darling, he sees him surrounded by all sorts of people eagerly trying to curry favor with him, and nearly chokes.

Grinding his teeth in rage, he summons the Chengying Sword, which transforms into countless streaks of light hovering above their heads. "Anyone who dares touch him will die!"

Lately, there are only two things the whole cultivation world gossips about.

First, has the little darling returned to the sect today?

Second, has that fiend managed to win him back? If not, when will the rest of us get our chance?

Fu Yue Bai runs away countless times. By the time Yan Junheng has turned dark, Fu Yue Bai learns another truth as red silk binds their wrists.

It turns out he isn't a difficult cannon-fodder character at all. He's the true chosen one. The book he read was just fanfiction written by someone who loved his childhood friend, a spiteful work created to get back at him.

Fu Yue Bai is speechless. Is that really spite? Aren't you the one taking revenge on me?

He glances at the man with bloodshot eyes and a stern expression, and promptly gives in. "I really won't run away again. Don't tie up my hands, or... how am I supposed to hug you?"

With a click, the golden Immortal-Binding Chain, lined with thick padding, fastens around his slender ankle.

The man opens his arms, his smile never reaching his eyes. "Now you can come hug me."

Premise: Bootlegs hurt people, and fake books hurt people!
