Just a Mere Villain, So What If I Beat Them Up? [Wuxia Crossover]

The full text will receive occasional revisions.

You transmigrate into a wealthy family of the highest standing.

Your grandfather is a duke, and the people who come and go are nobles and high officials. The imperial palace is only a short carriage ride away.

You think your role in this life is to pass the imperial examinations and embark on an official career, rising swiftly through the ranks until you reach the very top.

Then you learn the truth.

- Your grandfather is the Duke of Rongguo.

- You are Jia Zheng's illegitimate son.

- Not long ago, your mother tried to bring you, her two-year-old son, and your newborn sister into the Duke of Rongguo's residence. She died after hurling herself against the stone lion at the gate.

Remembering how anyone could trample on Jia Huan in the book, you decide to work hard in secret and then amaze everyone.

But before you even grow old enough to amaze anyone,

you fish someone out of a river, and the entire capital is thrown into chaos.

You watch as Shi Guanyin and Wuhua, the Mistress of the Yihua Palace and the Fairy of Yunmeng, the Little Old Man and Gong Jiu...

One big boss and little boss after another from the world of wuxia novels show up as if they'd agreed to gang up on you.

You look down at your own short, toddler-sized body and can't help asking the heavens in exasperation:

- Am I really supposed to fight the bosses?

[Currently Writing Fantasy Danmei] Finding a Boyfriend Is My Specialty

Han Xiangwen is young, handsome, and well-connected. There are only two things missing from his otherwise perfect life: he has amnesia, and he has lost his magic.

A fortune-teller tells him that to regain his abilities, he must find the boy in a photograph.

He finds him, falls in love with him, and confesses.

"Huh?" The boy is startled. "But I already have a boyfriend."

His confession has failed, and it's embarrassing. He grits his teeth inside but acts nonchalant. "How come I've never seen you bring him around?"

The man smiles. A while later, he says, "Actually, I've never seen him either."

Yuan Heng had thought he would be just like all the countless versions of himself before him, searching day after day for fragments of his boyfriend's soul, then dying at the hands of whichever demon happened to get him.

Until one time, while chasing a soul fragment, he leapt into a collapsing underground palace.

The last thing he saw when he looked back was Han Xiangwen reaching out to him, his face deathly pale.

He hit the ground hard. Pain wracked his body, and he spat up blood.

All he could think about was Han Xiangwen's final expression, his eyes, every little detail. He missed him so much it drove him mad.

His first-life self asked, "Looks like you really love him."

He was silent for a long time.

"I used to think nothing of death. If I died, I'd just come back to life right away. But now, I'm starting to be afraid of dying."

"I don't want to die. I want to live. I want..."

"I want to go back and see him one more time."

[Fantasy Romance in the Same Series] Even Portraits Have to Work

When Feng Wan woke up, she discovered that the whole world had changed.

The good news: she had become fabulously rich overnight, with a net worth of billions.

The bad news: she had become a painting, and not just any painting, but a world-famous one that everyone had seen.

The cat responsible for it all was lounging on her lap. It claimed to be Aladdin's magical cat, and promised to grant her one wish if she let go of its neck.

Feng Wan: "Turn me back."

Magical Cat: "Ha, funny you should ask. That feature hasn't been unlocked yet."

Feng Wan: "Get me out of here."

Magical Cat: "Well, that feature is still in development."

Feng Wan: "...Fine. What can you do?"

Magical Cat: "How about giving you a chance to save a poor student who turned into a cat right after starting his internship? Please? I'll give you all the reward money."

Feng Wan: ?! But I used to be an ordinary, delicate person, and now I'm just a delicate portrait.

But Yun Xian, who also came with a delicate-person buff, thinks it's no big deal. He's spent years outsmarting the cats guarding the school's secret chamber, and has mastered feline hunting techniques. Even if he's now a cat in a painting, he's sure to be the fiercest kitten on the street.

So Feng Wan, brimming with blind confidence, follows Yun Xian into the abyss of working 24/7. She thinks they'll only be outsmarting people who steal lost belongings, but wherever they go, people die.

Eventually, the thieves start convulsing at the sound of a cat's meow and weeping at the sight of cat fur. The moment they see the pair, their knees buckle and they fall to the ground, begging for their lives.

Feng Wan: "You probably won't believe this, but we didn't kill those people."

The man nods. "I believe you! I believe you! I'll believe anything you say! ...What did you say? ...Then who killed them?"

Feng Wan pauses. "You probably won't believe this even more, but they all suddenly had a change of heart while trying to kill me, and killed themselves."

Theme: My fate is in my hands, not Heaven's.
