I Want to Keep the General in a Golden House [Book Transmigration]

[This story is complete! Read without worry! (Probably)]

[Please check out my upcoming story! "The Sword Venerable's Rules for Raising Poisonous Creatures [Reborn]" is a goofy xianxia tale. Scroll to the very end for the blurb. Please, I'm begging you!]

[-------Content Warnings-------]

My writing style is a ridiculous, unstoppable landslide. I only write serious stories in an unserious way, so if that's not your thing, don't come in. Typos can be fixed, but my style can't, and I have no intention of changing it.

The ruler of Jing, Wenren Mo, was dead. The Grand General Lu Miao had filled him with arrows, leaving him in a gruesome state, like a porcupine.

After surviving countless trials and hardships, the protagonist, Prince Chun Wenren Yi, finally overthrew the emperor, changed the dynasty, and brought the whole world together in celebration. From then on, the light of peace shone across the land...

Then, less than a year later, foreign enemies invaded. The land was strewn with corpses, and the state of Jing fell.

"That's it?" Jiang Mo wondered, soaking in the bath and reading the ebook. If he were the protagonist, he'd do a hundred times better!

Then he leaned back with a crash. His eyes closed and opened again, and instead of becoming the protagonist, he had transmigrated into the book as Wenren Mo, the porcupine king destined to be cannon fodder.

Since he was here, he might as well make the best of it. He decided to keep close to worthy ministers and steer clear of petty men, outwit the protagonist, steal every scene, and turn his cannon-fodder fate around.

But his own younger brother, Prince Chun Wenren Yi, was adored by everyone, while everyone despised him. His brother had a golden finger, while he forgot to bring toilet paper when he went to the bathroom. Avoiding the cannon-fodder ending seemed like a tall order.

Worst of all, the Grand General Lu Miao, who would one day lead the charge through the palace gates and fill him with bolts from a repeating crossbow until he was full of holes, was currently his guard. They were always in each other's sight, and Lu Miao could smother him with a pillow at any moment.

To keep Lu Miao from joining the protagonist's side, Jiang Mo planned to win him over with love: first a promotion and a raise, then tender concern. He practically wanted to keep him in a golden house.

Lu Miao was overjoyed, completely misunderstood his intentions, and promptly flopped down like a lazy fish, giving up all resistance.

Jiang Mo: "That's not what I meant..."

Lu Miao understood perfectly. He pushed him down onto the imperial bed, his face brimming with the heroic resolve of Jing Ke assassinating the King of Qin...

1. I'll try to update daily, at midnight from Monday to Friday.

2. One-on-one romance, with the customary happy ending.

3. Still the same goofy, chaotic style: sweet and savory, guaranteed to satisfy readers of all ages.

Upcoming story: "The Sword Venerable's Rules for Raising His Reading Material [Reborn]" - historical danmei xianxia

[Also known as: A Man's Guide to Becoming a Mom (Very Much Not What It Sounds Like)]

Fifty years ago, the Sword Venerable Jiang Mucheng entered a death-seclusion to cultivate the final stage of the Way of Forgetting the Dust. Everyone in the cultivation world said his ascension was just around the corner.

Fifty years later, Jiang Mucheng still couldn't break through his inner demons. He had exhausted his blood and qi and was on the verge of death, so he was forced to leave seclusion.

But when he looked down from the mountain, he discovered that nine-tenths of the small world he lived in had been destroyed, with only his mountain left. The land of the Five Continents had been burned to ashes. The Demon Venerable Chen Li stood atop the clouds with a sword in hand. When he looked at Jiang Mucheng, his eyes were desolate and grief-stricken. Thunderclouds roiled overhead. Heaven's punishment had arrived.

To save the doomed small world, Jiang Mucheng used a secret technique to transmigrate back fifty years.

At the time, he was still the Sword Venerable worshipped by countless people, and disciples of his sect were building the mountain where he would enter death-seclusion. He swept out his sleeves, searched everywhere for the Demon Venerable Chen Li, and planned to kill him while he was still a child.

But after going through countless hardships to finally find the Demon Venerable, he discovered that Chen Li was still a little baby lying in a basket, picking at his toes.

Chen Li's adoptive father, Chen Zhihan, sat nearby, quietly weaving a medicinal basket. He looked up with a smile, immaculate and untouched by dust.

Like many villains, Chen Li had a tragic childhood. The direct cause of his turn to darkness was that his adoptive father, Chen Zhihan, was attacked by the major sects and reduced to ashes.

Unable to bring himself to harm a baby, Jiang Mucheng changed his mind. He decided to protect the seemingly gentle and kind Chen Zhihan, give the future Demon Venerable a happy childhood, and erase the reason he would one day turn dark.

But when he brought Chen Zhihan back to the sect, he learned that this man was none other than the legendary "Poison King," whose name struck terror into everyone's heart...

--------------Scene from the Story--------------------------

Jiang Mucheng: "Chen Zhihan and I are very close. Stop making things difficult for him."

"Cultivation World Gossip: The Sword Venerable Seems to Have Fallen for the Poison King!"

Jiang Mucheng: "Chen Zhihan is gentle and kind. Stop calling him the Poison King. He's joined my mountain, so he's mine."

"Cultivation World Insider Report: The Sword Venerable Seems to Have Entered a Bonding Ceremony with Chen Zhihan, the Poison King!"

Jiang Mucheng: "Chen Li is still a child. I'll raise him with care, and he'll never fall into the demonic path."

"Earth-Shattering News from the Cultivation World! The Sword Venerable and Chen Zhihan Are Raising a Child Together!"

"It's not what you think!" On the mountaintop, Jiang Mucheng stood shoulder to shoulder with Chen Zhihan, holding the future Great Demon in his arms. With one sword strike, he split a mountain. With the second, he parted the sea.

The enemies who had rushed over to attack after hearing the news fell silent. They tossed aside their weapons and nodded like pecking chickens. "Whatever you say, sir. We wish you happiness."

Jiang Mucheng stared at them, utterly confused. Then he glanced at Chen Zhihan beside him, only to see him chuckle quietly, saying nothing. Everything was understood without a word.

A recommendation for a friend's story:

"Bought by My Mortal Enemy After I Was Reborn" by Yu She: a servant bottom and a young lord top. Romance and political intrigue.

Theme: Things may not always go as you wish, but at least have a clear conscience.
