After Entering a Harem Novel, I Became Obsessed with Cultivation

Luo Yunqi transmigrates into a novel where everyone is drawn to the protagonist, becoming Xiao Ye's childhood friend. In the original story, he had an unrequited crush and wouldn't take no for an answer. Even after a family-arranged marriage made him Xiao Ye's cultivation partner, he was nothing more than a prop in a polite but distant relationship, forced to watch all sorts of newcomers grow close to the male lead. In the end, the male lead attained the Dao and ascended. The original Luo Yunqi should have risen to heaven alongside him as his official heavenly consort, but his cultivation was too weak, and heavenly lightning blasted his soul to smithereens. Luo Yunqi, a tough-as-nails straight man: ...Honestly, I want to cultivate too. I want to ascend too. Who wouldn't want to be the main character? From that day on, Xiao Ye noticed that his childhood friend, who had no ambition and a delicate constitution, had suddenly started cultivating diligently, undergoing trials everywhere, and constantly snatching up his opportunities. Luo Yunqi: This magic treasure is mine first. Xiao Ye: Take it. Luo Yunqi: I really need this spirit medicine. Xiao Ye: Go ahead. Luo Yunqi: I heard this spirit sword calling to me. Xiao Ye: If you want it, take it. Before long, Luo Yunqi, the cultivation world's famously useless young man, rose to prominence. He reached the Golden Core stage in three years and the Primordial Spirit stage in five. Dressed in flowing white robes and dazzlingly talented, he became a young prodigy who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Xiao Ye. The only problem was that the harem members in the book had started looking at him strangely. Xiao Ye's beautiful childhood friend, Xiao Ye's corrupted junior disciple, Xiao Ye's aloof master, Xiao Ye's sworn enemy, the Demon Venerable... Luo Yunqi was utterly baffled: I spend every day obsessed with cultivation. When did you all start a romance route with me? * With admirers flocking around him and finding it unbearable, Luo Yunqi decided to nip the problem in the bud. He found a young fairy from a family of equal standing and set a wedding date. But on their wedding night, when he lifted the red veil, there was no beautiful bride. Instead, there stood a domineering, devilishly handsome man. Xiao Ye wore red robes, his eyes dark and crimson. "You took my magic treasures, stole my spirit medicines, and snatched my divine sword. Who do you think you're marrying?" Luo Yunqi: "...If I return them now, is it still in time?" Xiao Ye grabbed the back of his neck and bit down hard on his lips. "What do you think?" * 1. The favored-by-fate male lead x the aloof, calculating love interest. The love interest is obsessed with cultivating immortality, while the male lead is obsessed with him. Both are overpowered attention-grabbers, the cultivation world's two ultimate Mary Sues. Wherever they go, their theme song is "The Superstar of Troubled Times." 2. The male lead's everyone-loves-him aura transfers to the love interest, and all his rivals fall for him. Theme: Building a better cultivation world
