Xenia goes traveling with her best friend, and they get lost in an old castle.
The castle's master is slender, pale, and handsome,
with a pair of misty gray-blue eyes.
Note: 1. The count doesn't fall in love, but he did have a marriage that served as background. My beloved count is perfection.
2. This is an alternate history setting, roughly resembling the 20th century. The technology mentioned isn't tied to a specific era.
3. Inspired by the musical Dance of the Vampires, which I highly recommend! The story itself is original and easy to follow on its own.

"How Did a Background Character Become a Popular Big Shot?"
Chen Ji is approached by a System. It tells him that he's a background character in an anime. If he maintains the plot and helps the series reach its finale, he can earn freedom and a new life.
To keep the plot on track, Chen Ji plays the male lead's supportive junior martial uncle.
·
The male lead is forced to leap off a cliff.
Chen Ji marvels at how clichéd the plot is.
System: "Ahhh, hurry and catch him! The male lead jumped off the wrong cliff!"
Chen Ji jumps after him to save him.
Comments: [Ahhh! Junior Martial Uncle flying in to save him is so cool!]
·
The male lead is falsely accused and loses all hope.
Chen Ji asks the System whether he needs to arrange a torrential downpour for the male lead, as the plot dictates.
System: "Forget the rain! The male lead is so shaken he doesn't want to follow the plot anymore!"
Chen Ji drinks with him all night.
Comments: [Aww, Junior Martial Uncle is so warm and caring!]
·
The male lead's clue-bearing boss fails to show up, and the plot can't move forward.
Chen Ji marvels that this thing, which should have been destroyed and buried long ago, has somehow been preserved until now. He must have worked hard.
System: "Hurry! If the clue is destroyed, the plot is over!"
Chen Ji puts on a mask and slowly emerges from the shadows, a bloodstained embroidered pouch hooked around his finger. He smiles. "Want it? Then let's make a bet."
Comments: [Whoa! Who is this villain? His presence is terrifying!]
As he keeps the plot on track, the System tells him: Your popularity has exploded.
The secret identities of the junior martial uncle and the mysterious masked man are exposed. The audience suddenly understands and pieces together the backstory:
[Ahhh! The junior martial uncle is a stunningly beautiful, powerful, and tragic character!]
[Help! At first I thought the junior martial uncle was a dependable big shot who seemed aloof but was actually kind. Now that I know he's the mysterious man, every smile of his feels like a knife!]
[Please, male lead! He's not your enemy, he's saving you!]

Xiao Shengyan was born with an incomplete soul. His cultivation is fraught with hardship, and his lifespan is short. Only by killing the final villain, Yin Chenjue, can he restore what is missing from his soul.
Yet somewhere deep inside, he can always sense a force like an inescapable fate, tempering him, testing him, and nurturing him. It pushes him to vanquish all his enemies, overcome all his weaknesses, and ascend to the highest position in the world.
But from the very first moment he sees that person, his heart is already in turmoil.
Xiao Shengyan spends his whole life fighting with all his might to escape his fate.
·
The male lead has been drugged with an indescribable aphrodisiac...
The System hurriedly searches the backend. "Don't panic! I'll look up this part of the plot and bring the heroine over."
Chen Ji watches the male lead with an amused smile. I'm not panicking. Don't rush. I think he can hold out a little longer.
System: ...Huh? This story doesn't have a heroine. There's no part where the male lead gets drugged!
Chen Ji freezes, then looks down at the male lead, whose eyes are brimming with desire. "Xiao Shengyan, do you know who I am?"
In those glistening eyes, only Chen Ji is reflected.
Xiao Shengyan grabs his sleeve, and a mask slips out from beneath it. "Yin Chenjue..."
The System shrieks: "Wait! Isn't Yin Chenjue the final boss?!"
Xiao Shengyan, each night gazing longingly at the moon over Qin Tower; Chen Ji, on the ancient road, the last trace of Yin Chenjue.
Chen Ji was originally one of Yin Chenjue's masks.
"Be quiet." Yin Chenjue slowly bends down.
The System falls silent mid-sentence.
Long hair flows like water, spilling across the floor.
"Call me Junior Martial Uncle."
"J-Junior Martial Uncle..."

System: The story of how I found a background character to maintain the plot, only to discover that the background character was a big shot in disguise.
Lie flat, get carried by the big shot, and cheer him on!
Deep as the sea · Unwavering in his goals · A talented actor · A mad, unhinged beauty

Theme: Freedom and belonging.
It is rare to see such a serious drama in Jinjiang. The overall feeling this article gives me is that Loren is a lone hero. When everyone believed that the night was about to come and was bound to come, he caught the last sunset and transformed the bits of light in the sunset into the endless light of dawn. He gave Zenia the choice to leave, even though he expected her to stay; He sheltered Royce's descendants for two hundred years, even though Naylor was the traitor; He restrains vampires from disturbing ordinary people, even if he is disappointed with his subjects. This must be the personality charm of Lord Forrest! Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself. Just do what you feel is right. Even if the king's betrayal is unexpected, he will always find a way to solve it. Even if it means blending himself into the dark night, he will still bring clarity to the world. At the end, I felt a little unfinished, probably because of the regret that the hero faced the endless years alone. "The road ahead has no end" is a blessing, but for Loren Frost who has lost his lover and happiness, "the road has no end" also means no end of loneliness. Don't be afraid of your bones being shattered into pieces, you want to leave your innocence in this world.
Does it feel like a warm sadness?
The shattering of the perseverant people who embrace their ideals is as vast as the collapse of an iceberg. He has done things that may not have been to his liking and made mistakes that were seen by the public in the old days, but who cares and who can blame him? After seeing him go through so much suffering, after seeing the peace he brought to people and the wars he extinguished? Loren Forrester, what an outstanding general, lord, leader and ruler he was. His steely will is even more shocking. I have heard other people's thoughts: Martyrs for their ideals can die holding their hot blood, but they must not be fed and live like ashes after they are forced to be extinguished. I still think so. From this point of view, both the Count's appropriate compromise and Zenia (please let me call her by her current title) are incredible and worthy of appreciation. Zenia's refusal should never be viewed as annoying stubbornness. Her choices, research, escape, stay, and rejection were all based on her own will. Under the charm and shadow of the mountain-like Earl (or I should call it influence, but under the strong light of the Earl's sun, the stars also appear dim, and Zenia, whose brilliance is covered up, let me call it under the shadow). After being guided and isolated for decades, she still chose to refuse. This is really something I can't do, an incredible thing. As a human being who clearly knows that he is a little more selfish and inferior than others, I really feel sorry for their intense or calm emotions and sense of responsibility (especially the count's). Although I thought about whether the lord who was abandoned by his subjects would be sad and resentful, he still calmed down. Is the lord really indifferent to emotion, or is it just suppressed in his heart, or is it something in between? I have no idea. And Lina (and Tina), who chose to stay, left her familiar friends and no longer saw the count often. Will she be sad? I don't know either. White space is beautiful, as Folan said, it's just a matter of choice. The difference between the two little girls was unexpected and reasonable. It makes people feel sad and sad, but no matter how strong the sadness of separation is, it will slowly disappear under the wash of time (how to reflect the flight of time? - Throw a watch), but this is by no means fading. The memory is like the painful gravel in the clam's flesh, which is slowly chewed and turned into a pearl that shines with warmth. Does this count as growth? I have no idea. Zenia, who has an eternal soul, and Count, who is immortal but no longer eternal. Time is infinite, and the soul is with time, but it is not. It seems that one day all of this will decay, like a rock worn by the wind. But it will take a long time for this to happen, so it's better not to worry. After all, it seems now that this is just a useless prophecy that alarms people.
I stayed up late at night. It was too late so I just watched the ending. The overall feeling is a bit happy, with a little lonely story and a faint narrative. It seems that only in books can there exist pilgrims and martyrs, who are sophisticated and adaptable (forgive me for my lack of expression). The brave men who save the world have retired to the mortal world and are still maintaining the balance of the world. The heroine is also an excellent researcher, but I seem to be using her to catch a glimpse of the brilliance of virtue, the radiance of the soul that has not been changed by the strength of her position. The characters are really excellent, the male protagonist without CP, the virtuous sage, may be a bit exaggerated, hahahaha. Although some settings of the power system and vampires make me feel a little strange, the atmosphere conveyed and the image created are very good. Big and awesome.
A story that can make people calm down and read slowly
It's very beautiful, and it's so complex that I can't use an accurate label to describe its positioning. It has the flavor of a classic
It's amazing that such a talented author's writing has mediocre statistics.
Thank you, it's very beautiful 😭
May you have a bright future May your soul never change
Among all the novels, I still like the protagonist of this one the most. I feel so moved.
