The Buddhist I Saved Is a Scheming Black Lotus

(Complete) The next story is now underway: My Sudden Rise to Fame After Deciding to Retire and Inherit the Family Fortune

Blurb:

Qing Ling's sole mission after transmigrating into a book is to set Gu Wang, who has yet to fall into demonic ways, on the right path.

Gu Wang is a Buddhist cultivator, compassionate at heart.

Though he carries the blood of demons, he has endured the daily torment of that blood devouring him and continued to fight it.

But after the world abandoned him and even those closest to him suffered terrible fates, he finally let the blood consume him, fell into demonic ways, and vowed to drag everyone into the abyss with him.

Qing Ling packs her bags and goes to meet Gu Wang. At their first meeting, she finds the man who should be tapping a wooden fish drum sitting in a brothel tavern, eyes half closed as he watches the women sing and dance. He holds wine in one hand and slowly rolls Buddhist prayer beads between the fingers of the other, while the cinnabar mark between his brows looks alluringly wicked.

The next time she sees Gu Wang, he calmly breaks someone's arms and legs right in front of her.

Qing Ling looks at the script. ...A gentle, restrained Buddhist cultivator?

At first, Qing Ling diligently keeps her eyes and heart fixed on Gu Wang, afraid that even a minor injury might send him into demonic ways.

Then she discovers that he has been picking fights with everyone, including the male lead, and has long since gone on a killing spree.

At last, he casually wipes the blood from his prayer beads. A faint smile plays in his dark eyes as he asks, "Are you still going to follow me?"

Only then does Qing Ling realize this man has been rotten to the core from the start.

Qing Ling knows how to adapt. She briskly packs her things. "I'm not following you anymore."

But Gu Wang gently draws her into his arms.

"Neither demon nor Buddha."

"A Ling, how about I join you in this mortal world?"

Gu Wang is the most unusual exception among Buddhist cultivators. Raised in a Buddhist temple from childhood, he still never became one of them.

The elders say that Gu Wang can become a Buddha with one thought, or a demon with the next.

Gu Wang believes that no Buddha can save him.

Then one day, a young girl appears, her eyes curving with a smile. "I'll save you."

Gu Wang makes no comment.

Gu Wang is willing to let her.

P.S. 1. A beautiful, unhinged man x a serene little fairy

2. The male lead is genuinely unhinged and not a good person.

3. Any original settings exist to serve the main couple.

One-on-one romance, happy ending.

Blurb for the next story:

Yun Mian transmigrates into a book as a spoiled female supporting character. In the original story, she breaks off her engagement with her family to pursue the male lead, a gold-digging pretty boy, and enters the entertainment industry. She gives all her resources to him, only for him to complain that her devotion makes him look cheap. Jealous and malicious, she eventually causes her family to go bankrupt as well.

Yun Mian doesn't understand why anyone would act that way. She gives her resources to her fellow apprentices at the same agency, who have never had a chance, while she keeps herself drifting around the lowest ranks, content to laze about. In her free time, she spends time with her family and drinks tea at the agency while teaching her old-fashioned boss about new technology.

She just has to wait for her contract to expire, then go home and inherit the family fortune.

But her fellow apprentices rise to fame at an astonishing speed and become top-tier stars.

Seeing that their junior apprentice still seems hopeless, the seniors who once disliked her are exasperated. They throw scripts, variety shows, and commercials at her. "Get moving! Start promoting yourself!"

Yun Mian politely declines. "Actually, I'm a rich second-generation heir with a fortune of hundreds of millions to inherit."

But her refusal is ignored, and Yun Mian is forced to take on all kinds of major projects.

Haters: She's just a nepo baby, a pretty face. No matter how many resources she gets, she'll still be a suck-up to someone else. A nobody!

Yet Yun Mian doesn't fade into obscurity. She gets more and more famous, eventually breaking out of the industry and becoming a top-tier star.

In her senior sister's music video, she appears playing piano beautifully, and even helps with the vocals and lyrics.

In her senior brother's movie, she wins Best Newcomer for a supporting role and becomes a darling of the big screen.

On her junior fellow apprentice's variety show, she speaks several languages and is skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Yet she never fights for the spotlight and is always gracious, winning countless fans.

Haters: ...There's nothing left to criticize. Was she cursed before, or what?

Her senior brothers and sisters are just as baffled. How did someone like her never become famous before?

Yun Mian, who received an elite education from childhood, is even more confused. Aren't these all basic skills?

Oh, it's just the cutthroat competition among kids from wealthy families.

Little scene:

One day, the gold-digging pretty boy finally remembers Yun Mian's good points and vaguely reminisces about their past together on Weibo.

Everyone starts gossiping.

A big shot who has finally learned to post on Weibo speaks up: "My wife does good deeds for everyone, no exceptions. Even Liu Shan would be easier to support than you. Have some shame and stop trying to ride her coattails."

A pretty, lazy heiress x a sharp-tongued old-fashioned boss.

Premise: May you always be surrounded by warmth and love.
