I Thought He Was a Poor Little Thing [Book Transmigration]

One-line summary: Turns out he's a black-hearted lotus.

Shen Jue is transported into another world as a bratty eight-year-old.

His daily routine is making fires, cooking meals, and coaxing the even younger little brat next door.

Then he suddenly discovers that people here can cultivate immortality.

Shen Jue: Fine. In a dog-eat-dog world, you die if you don't cultivate. I'll do it.

Then he discovers this is a book, and he's a cannon-fodder character who isn't even worthy of being a stepping stone for the male lead.

Shen Jue: The chosen one? Not worth messing with. I'll stay out of his way.

Shen Jue works hard at cultivation and at avoiding the male lead, hoping to defy fate and escape his cannon-fodder ending. Through it all, the only one he can't stop worrying about is the pitiful little crybaby monkey next door.

Until he reunites with the pitiful little monkey.

When the pitiful little monkey sees him, he still looks just as helpless as ever.

Shen Jue complains about him, but is always ready to bring him under his wing and protect him.

Daily lesson: How did you get this big and still...

Still...

Still what???

That little brat has two completely different sides to him.

Shen Jue: "Weren't you supposed to be scrubbing the toilets for your senior brothers and sisters? How do you have time to fight here? From the look of things, are you planning to wipe out their whole clan?"

Ye Lingyan: "...I'm not!"

Shen Jue: "Weren't you only supposed to be an outer disciple of Mingxin Pavilion? The sect master of the Heavenly Remnant Sect? Is that your side job?"

Ye Lingyan: "...I didn't!"

Shen Jue, smiling: "You've been pretending for so long. It must have been exhausting, huh?"

Ye Lingyan: "Listen to me explain QAQ"

P.S.

1. Happy ending, one-on-one, younger male lead.

2. The recipient's violence can be summed up as: If we can solve it with our fists, why waste words?

3. The pursuer simply has two sides to him. He's not two-faced or suffering from dissociative identity disorder. He's a hypocritical drama queen.

4. This isn't a level-up story. By the time Shen and Ye meet for the second time, they've both finished leveling up.

5. The author is obsessed with revising. Updates are normally at 9 p.m.; at other times, the author is having a fit.

Hope you enjoy it =w=
