Here's an ad for my new novel, The System Makes Me Follow the Plot. Transmigrate into a book, cultivation, seme lead, older master-and-younger disciple pairing. (After all these years, this is still my favorite.) The blurb is at the very bottom.
Dear readers, this novel will enter VIP serialization tomorrow (8.11), starting from chapter thirty.
Thank you, everyone!
Here's the blurb:
Su Zijue woke up one day to discover that he had transmigrated into his own novel.
Based on his years hanging around Jinjiang, as a villain, he would either die early and get it over with, or hook up with the protagonist and live happily ever after... Pah!
Su Zijue felt his poker face was about to crack.
Sure, he'd transmigrated into a vent novel he'd written himself.
Sure, it was a story that tortured the protagonist for the sake of torturing him.
Sure, as the story's ultimate boss, he'd killed the protagonist and gone on to reach the pinnacle of life.
Sure, his personal safety and his sex life seemed a little too well-protected.
But... who could guarantee the protagonist wasn't reborn?
Going by the usual tropes, the protagonist was definitely reborn. Just think of how horribly "he" had tortured the protagonist in the original story. Judging by the settings in his other novels, a reborn protagonist would definitely slice him up and pickle him.
Or else they'd do this and that, then that and this!
Luckily, there's always a way out. Being the author comes with a few perks.
Of course he had to make good use of his golden finger. Su Zijue made sweeping changes and gave himself three settings.
First, the number one person in the cultivation world, one step away from ascending, aloof and indifferent to worldly affairs. [I'm the greatest under heaven, so let's see how you'll kill me if I don't join the plot.]
Second, he follows the Heartless Path. [Even people who like men are afraid of a frigid personality.]
Third, he has a life-bound treasure that can bring him back from the dead. [Even if the protagonist kills me, I can just reload.]
Heh. Come on, protagonist. Bring it on!
He was all set to watch the protagonist's reborn journey to dominate heaven and earth, cheering and clapping along. So why hadn't his little disciple been reborn yet?!
"Qingchi, have you remembered your past life yet?" Su Zijue asked, as he did every day.
Yue Qingchi, newly reborn, froze in terror. That day, he remembered once again the fear he'd felt in his master's hands in his previous life.
Who am I? Where am I? Why was I reborn?
Poker-faced author seme who transmigrated into his book as a master x dark, ruthless, reborn disciple uke
Cultivation levels: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Severing, Body Integration, Deity Transformation, Tribulation Transcendence
1. The disciple's personality isn't as lively and goofy as the blurb suggests. Qingchi is gloomy and devious. This is an unconventional cultivation novel, focused purely on romance. Cultivation is just the backdrop.
2. One-on-one, happy ending, seme-focused. The author is the seme! The author is the seme! The author is the seme! [The author is always the seme.]
3. The seme has a running inner monologue.
4. Lots of original worldbuilding. If it's not to your taste, please don't flame me. It's seme-focused, but I'm not seme-obsessed. Daily updates start today, and I have chapters saved up, so feel free to jump in. [Unless something unexpected happens, updates will be at midnight every day.]
5. Feel free to share your thoughts.
This novel is also known as The System Gives Me Tasks, and I Choose No Every Time and Always Subverting the Tropes, Always Getting Caught by Them
Below is the blurb for my new novel, The System Makes Me Follow the Plot. I have 100,000 words saved up and will start posting soon.
Blurb:
Bad news: Jiang Yunyi fell off a rooftop.
Good news: He didn't die, and instead transmigrated into a cultivation novel as a minor cultivator.
Bad news: He transmigrated as the cannon-fodder master who covets the male lead's body and wants to refine him into a cultivation furnace, only to be easily killed in return...
Good news: He's bound to a System. As long as he follows the script, he can stay alive and get benefits.
This is easy! But later, Jiang Yunyi discovers that the System can be seriously unreliable...
Plotline 1: At the disciple-selection ceremony, the protagonist leads by a huge margin and wins first place.
Reality: Tang Song staggers around in a sorry state and wins first place... from the bottom.
Plotline 2: After taking on the protagonist as a disciple, the original owner uses checking his spiritual roots as an excuse to touch him all over. The protagonist is mortified and swears he'll get revenge!
Reality: On the night he takes him in, Jiang Yunyi steels himself and touches him all over. Tang Song trembles from head to toe, his ears red with mortification...
Plotline n: The protagonist, by then a mighty cultivator, traps the original owner in a secret chamber until all that's left is a pile of bones.
Reality: Tang Song locks Jiang Yunyi in a secret chamber, puts him in chains, and stands there with reddened eyes. "Master... Shifu... You can only belong to me..."
How am I supposed to follow the plot like this?! Jiang Yunyi flips the table in anger! You said the protagonist was supposed to be the main character, so why is he a sinister freak?!
Good thing that's exactly his type.
System: ...
Serious blurb:
Jiang Yunyi is seriously ill. Not very seriously, at least, his body is perfectly healthy. It's only a minor mental illness.
He's suffered from severe emotional intimacy aversion since childhood. To protect himself, he never forms close relationships with anyone. This only makes him lonelier, and eventually depressed... After struggling through life for twenty-six years, one day he suddenly feels that life has no meaning left.
He leaps down...
And transmigrates into the novel The Immortal's Ordeal, becoming one of the trials on the male lead's path to immortality.
He never imagined that, as the trial itself, he would be saved by the protagonist.
Tang Song has been exceptionally gifted since childhood. He learns quickly, whether in arts or martial skills, and seems to have been born understanding certain truths. He's been sensible and perceptive from a young age, with a firm disposition, neither arrogant nor impatient, and even a touch of a sage's wisdom.
Full of ambition, he sets out on the long road to immortality, only then remembering the many suffering lives he's endured in previous incarnations...
Could the glory of one life make up for the hardships of countless others?
Tang Song has no answer.
Fortunately, he meets the master who was by his side in his previous life once more.
Tang Song is reincarnated, his appearance completely changed, but his master remains exactly as he was before.
He's gentle, yet distant. His eyes have never held Tang Song in them.
P.S.:
1. Happy ending, a capitalized HE!!!
2. One-on-one. Jiang Yunyi, the master, is the seme.
3. Outwardly normal but emotionally closed off (?) and fiercely possessive master who transmigrates into a book, seme x sunny, cheerful disciple uke who gradually becomes sinister and twisted (?), a pseudo-reborn, arrogant male lead
4. Tang Song experiences ten lifetimes in total. The story begins in his present life, while the first nine lives are presented as flashbacks. The first eight are briefly covered, while the ninth gets more attention.
5. I'm writing chapters in advance. Updates will start once I have 100,000 words saved up. To keep myself motivated, I plan to update the word-count progress at the top of the blurb every day!??( ? )??
6. An extremely strong mutual attraction! The seme just hasn't realized it yet. It should also count as mutual salvation.
Theme: Expose hypocrisy and promote truth, goodness, and beauty.
I don't know what to say, but I feel that what Yue Qingchi said is correct. The master was indifferent and neglectful towards him, and he was confident. Maybe he didn't realize it himself. And I feel that Master's words are really nicer than his actions. Every time Yue Qingchi is irritable, he always beeps calmly in front of others. Who doesn't know how to calm down? You should take some practical actions to solve the problem from the root. After reading so many chapters, this relationship is Yue Qingchi's one-man show from beginning to end. Yue Qing belatedly asked his master what he was thinking, and after procrastinating for so many days, his master did not give him an answer. Waiting for that torture was like having a sword stuck in his head, and he didn't know when it would fall. The master always felt that he had accepted Yue Qingchi as his disciple, had been his master and disciple for many years, and was very kind to him. He also told him about rebirth, and Yue Qingchi was reborn and regained the memories of his previous life. He also stabbed himself and paid off. Haha, I really want Master to experience Yue Qingchi's previous life to see if Master can still stand and talk without back pain. The person who caused me so many years of misery in my previous life is now my favorite and most respected master in this world. This is very deceiving. Until now, Yue Qing has no inner demons, nor is he possessed by demons. He is very capable of withstanding psychological stress, and his self-digestion ability is also very good. He has sorted out and digested the good and the bad by himself. Moreover, Yue Qingchi felt very inferior in front of his master. He treated him completely like a god and didn't like him very much. In this world, there is not only love, but also beautiful scenery, family and friends that cannot be let down. The most important thing is to love oneself. People must first learn to love themselves before they can learn to love others! Master, he has a temperament that makes him a friend or a lover. He is cold and violent every day (to satisfy your material needs, care and love, I have never heard of it), who can bear it? Well, the protagonist Yue Qingchi can bear it. Why does a good master-disciple relationship have to be mixed with so many things (the reader/author becomes the master/disciple and develops feelings other than master-disciple), This article seems a bit infuriating. The master and the disciple are willing to fight while the other is willing to suffer. (You can live a wonderful life by staying away from cold violence.)
I suddenly felt that Su Pei had always been in love with Qing Chi. After all, very early on, he gave himself the task of becoming a Taoist couple with Qing Chi.
The translation accent is so cute sometimes! But I personally feel that if you are addicted, you can get rid of it quickly hhhhhhh
That's great. In fact, when I read the previous article, I felt that the original owner should be a gentle person. Being able to have such an ending is considered a repayment and relief. I hope that he can continue to be happy in the future.
The original owner was too miserable...
Hahahaha, you are really the one rewarded by God.
The author is really awesome QAQ
Hahahahahaha, the male protagonist also looks at Teacher Guo. It made me laugh so hard hahahahahaha
Familiar phrases everywhere make me laugh so hard, Spring River Flower Moonlight Night
Agree with Qianlou and feel satisfied.
