Saving the Poor, Pitiful Male Lead (Quick Transmigration)

*The main story is complete. In novels, before the male lead becomes truly powerful, his life is usually full of hardship and tragedy. But some leads have it so bad that it defies all reason. Gu Zhaozhao, one of the male lead's many benefactors, is tasked with helping him avoid hardship and carefully raising him like a child. But gradually, she realizes that while she treats the male lead like a child, he doesn't see it that way. First World: The bullied illegitimate son of a marquis Gu Zhaozhao is the male lead's unofficial young stepmother. Her first transmigration mission failed. Given another chance, she only wants to help him behind the scenes and hopes he'll marry the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter soon, becoming a powerful minister of his generation. But then... Male lead: I only want you. Zhaozhao: Hm? (Note: The female lead never married the male lead's father. There was no wedding, no official status, and no marital relationship.) Second World: A cultivation prodigy whose spiritual roots have been destroyed As the leader of the Hehuan Sect, Gu Zhaozhao takes the male lead as her disciple and feeds him vast quantities of spiritual medicine every day, hoping he'll cultivate the path of ruthlessness and ascend. Male lead: This disciple doesn't want to ascend. He only wants to stay by Master's side forever. Zhaozhao: Hm? Third World: The eldest princess and her archenemy This time, Zhaozhao is the villain who bullies the male lead. To help him turn dark and rebel as planned, she has no choice but to bully him through tears. Male lead: As long as you're happy. Zhaozhao: ... Fourth World: The sweet, innocent girl vs. the rich heir (the blurbs for each world after the fourth can be found in the author's note at the end of the previous world's final chapter) Five: An apocalyptic story, with the male lead as a mercenary captain Six: A disillusioned general with a disability Seven: ... (See the volume titles.) My next novel, The Eunuch as Husband, is currently updating. If you're interested, go add it to your reading list! Blurb: Fu Zhining comes from a noble family and is known as the most beautiful woman in the capital, yet there's something strange about her. The maidservant who offends her mysteriously falls into the water. The playboy who harasses her ends up dead in the street. Even people who mock her wind up breaking a leg as soon as they turn around. Everyone says she's cursed, and no matchmaker dares call on her, even after she turns twenty. But Fu Zhining knows the truth. There's no such thing as a curse. She simply made a deal with the devil: He would avenge her mother's murder and keep her safe for the rest of her life. On the first and fifteenth of every month, she burns incense, bathes, covers her eyes with a veil, and waits for him to come. For three years, she has no idea who he is. Until the night of a palace banquet, when she accidentally falls into the arms of Baixi Xi, the palace's chief eunuch, and catches the familiar scent of sandalwood. Fu Zhining: ... The sinister, all-powerful chief eunuch Baixi Xi... is actually a man in every sense of the word! Fu Zhining: ...For the sake of my life, I'll pretend I don't know. Baixi Xi: Heh. Male lead's perspective: At seventeen, Baixi Xi was convicted and sent to the palace, becoming a eunuch everyone wanted to trample underfoot. Only the girl next door, his childhood friend, took his hand and urged him tearfully: "Brother Qinghe, you have to stay alive." For those words, he clawed his way out of the mire, climbing over mountains of corpses and seas of blood, step by step surviving until today. He should have watched over her from afar, protected her, and kept his distance. They should have remained strangers. But she shouldn't have come to him on that rainy night, weeping as she provoked him. Once you provoke him, you shouldn't try to run away. The male lead is a fake eunuch. I know you want him to be a real one, but he really is fake. Theme: Live with optimism and strive to improve.
