A Guide to Survival for a Sacrificial Nobody

Xu Ruofan has the constitution of a nameless passerby. Born with the ability to commune with swords, he was nevertheless born into the modern world, where spiritual energy is scarce. So, as an insignificant side character, he spent nineteen years happily watching other people's tangled romances unfold. He knew long ago that he would face a deadly calamity on the day he turned twenty, and he waited for it calmly. But when the fated day arrived, the thunderbolt he had eagerly awaited never came. His vision went black, and he transmigrated into the novel Subduing Demons, becoming a cannon-fodder character with the same name as himself: the unlucky sacrificial victim who died horribly at the hands of the Myriad Evils' Vessel in the abyss, then had his body turned into a container for evil thoughts... At this point, he had less than half a day before he was devoured. At his ear, the System chattered on and on, urging him to overturn the plot, kill the demonic seed, and replace the protagonist. Xu Ruofan was very polite. "Your suggestion is tempting... but I just want to keep living an ordinary, boring life as a nobody." System: "...??? Wait, listen while I explain it all again! Aaaah!" * Xu Ruofan had plenty of tricks up his sleeve, but little ambition, and his acting was truly terrible. Though the System nagged and wheedled him into reluctantly agreeing to work for it, he never had any ulterior motives. Even so, the original story gradually fell apart because of his presence... And so the melodramatic danmei novel suddenly changed course The cultivation protagonist, who had been tortured in body and spirit, gave up on love and said to Xu Ruofan: "Teacher, you were right. I was too attached. How can a cultivator let himself be held back by love?" Then he turned around, studied late into the night, passed the imperial examinations, and became the greatest chancellor of three dynasties, helping bring peace to the realm. The orphan child who had endured humiliation under everyone's gaze and eventually fallen to demonic ways to become the villainous BOSS's top henchman, after a casual piece of advice from Xu Ruofan, resolved to improve his cooking and became the greatest chef in the land. The Ten Great Sects and the demons of myriad realms also made peace by a twist of fate, thanks to his actions. Even Yuan, the Myriad Evils' Vessel sleeping beneath the abyss, gave up his obsession with destroying the world... and turned around to chase after Xu Ruofan? System: "...Didn't we agree you were going to follow the nobody's script?!" * Much later, the thousand-year calamity was averted, and Xu Ruofan's legend spread across the entire otherworldly continent. The original plot had long since fallen apart almost completely. And yet Xu Ruofan's original wish had never changed Even after becoming a legend, he still wanted nothing more than to live an ordinary, boring life as a nobody. System: "… = =#" * The body of chaos and myriad evils, named Yuan, took shape beneath the earth-cliff, living for tens of thousands of years, bound by resentment. "He" had incomplete memories, but knew clearly that he had been imprisoned here after losing a battle. Everyone wanted to kill "Him" and make "Him" pay for the blood debt. So "He" told Himself that He must kill everyone in the world. So when that person appeared, bearing a forbidden spell, "He" naturally assumed he had come to kill Him. But, unexpectedly, that person was the one who washed the fury from His body, taught Him love and devotion, took His hand, cooked a bowl of plain porridge, and watched duckweed drift and rain fall on banana leaves with Him. And so the chaotic evil seed, the great demon king who should have thrown heaven and earth into turmoil, willingly took human form, just to stand beside His human and watch the sunset glow, geese in flight, and the autumn waters merge with the endless sky. Revenge and killing, what are they... There was only one thing He cared about Was His human still living the ordinary, boring life he wanted today, just as he had yesterday?

[Advance Notice 2: Historical Danmei, Eunuch, Blurb] Lin Qinglian is a powerful eunuch, known by all as the Nine-Thousand-Year-Old who can sway the court and kill without blinking. Well... he admits he's a madman. Just because the little boy on the throne once smiled brightly at him, Lin Qinglian ignored everyone's judgment, wrested power from the emperor's maternal relatives on the boy's behalf, and guarded his empire for twenty years. Yet in all those twenty years, he never saw that kind of smile again. Instead, the young emperor, now grown, became estranged from him, set a trap, and plunged a sword into his heart. Lin Qinglian wasn't quite dead, but his heart had turned cold. Looking back on twenty years of bloodshed, all the overt and covert attacks he'd suffered hadn't hurt as much as that one sword thrust. He decided to let go and return to him an empire that had never been touched by his hand. Then return the sword to him exactly as it was. * Li Ji read a novel and fell hopelessly in love with Lin Qinglian, the beautiful, strong yet tragic eunuch who guarded the empire for the young emperor and was ultimately unjustly killed. At last, he transmigrated into a book. The good news: He had entered the world where Lin Qinglian lived. The bad news: He had become the dog emperor who had been cursed a million times by his own hand, the one who had betrayed Lin Qinglian. The sword in his hand had just pierced Lin Qinglian's heart. As the beautiful, feminine face filled with disbelief, Lin Qinglian opened his mouth in misery, a mouthful of blood spilling from his thin lips. Li Ji immediately dropped the sword, knelt on a spiky Western fruit, hugged Lin Qinglian, and shouted: "Honey, I'm sorry!" But it seemed he was already a little too late. Li Ji: QAQ! Ethereal, untouchable, sickly beauty eunuch bottom × goofy emperor who transmigrated into a book top The story is told from the bottom's perspective. Lots of romance. Theme: An ordinary, beautiful life is hard-won and should be cherished.
