I’m the Contrarian in a Cultivation Novel [Book Transmigration]

My writing buddy's new book, Saving the Villain Isn't My Goal, is great. Please add it to your reading list!

------------Blurb------------

Song Pan'an transmigrated into a cultivation novel as the junior sister who was bullied by everyone and never dared to fight back.

As a minor female character, she had little to do with the plot. Her only purpose was to take a sword for the male lead when the right moment came, then return home.

So Song Pan'an ate and drank to her heart's content every day, watched the protagonist, senior brother, and second senior sister fall in love, and passed the time being a contrarian to keep her wit sharp.

Fourth Senior Brother: I've lost quite a bit of weight lately.

Song Pan'an: You shed a tear of longing last year, and it still hasn't made it past your cheek.

Third Senior Brother: I think I can definitely win Second Senior Sister over.

Song Pan'an: You want to become an immortal while still human, and reach the sky while sitting on the ground.

Fifth Senior Brother: I think I'm better-looking than Senior Brother.

Song Pan'an: Apart from not being good-looking, you're just like a peacock.

The senior brothers: ...

With her silver tongue, Song Pan'an successfully shattered the whole sect's unity and managed to shrink her role through sheer skill until she was... the second female lead?

Song Pan'an: ???

Even Senior Brother Meng Mixin came to seek her out after hearing of her reputation. "Junior Sister, since you're so good with words, could you teach me mouth-to-mouth?"

Song Pan'an shrank back. "There's no need to go that far."

Later

Meng Mixin: Junior Sister, stop playing with the water and come play with me. I'm more fun than water.

Song Pan'an, contrarian mode activated: Really? I don't believe you.

Meng Mixin: I'll make you believe me.

Meng Mixin's guide to winning her over, lesson 1: The best way to beat a contrarian is to shut her up.

Later still

Meng Mixin: Junior Sister, what are you doing?

Song Pan'an: Counting money. The senior brothers pooled five hundred taels to pay me to shut up for seven days. I said that if I did, Senior Brother wouldn't have anyone to kiss, so they had to pay more...

Meng Mixin: You took it?

Song Pan'an: I did. Senior Brother, you'll just have to put up with it for seven days.

Meng Mixin: ...

Meng Mixin's guide to winning her over, lesson 2: Shutting her up isn't enough. You have to break her hands too.

A witty, literary heroine X a composed, secretly flirtatious hero

[Reader's guide]

1. Set in a fictional world with mountains of original worldbuilding.

2. The logic has some bugs. I'm doing my best to fix them.

3. The original heroine is just background and has few scenes. This isn't bashing her, since she was crooked from the start.

4. One-on-one romance, both leads are virgins, happy ending.

Tao Yunle transmigrated into a cultivation novel as a cannon-fodder female character who didn't even have a name.

She had the worst setup and the hardest story to play out.

"You have to save the villain, bring him back to the righteous path, help him rediscover his heart for the Dao, and give all living beings a chance to survive."

Tao Yunle: "So what exactly do I have to do?"

"Simple," the System replied. "Take his beatings for him, take his punishment for him, and take the blame for him. Stay by his side when he's injured, stand in front of him when he's in danger, and bravely say, 'I'll always believe in him' when he's framed."

"In short, you have to change him through love."

Tao Yunle: ...

She agreed, then turned around and...

Stole the hard-won treasure the villain had finally obtained and ran off with it.

Claimed the sword the villain had nearly died to find as her own.

When the villain was accused of murdering an elder, she was the first to speak up: "It was him. I saw Junior Brother sneak into the elder's room with a sword last night!"

Before she knew it, Tao Yunle had become the leader of all demons.

Tao Yunle: The best way to save the villain is to become the villain in his place. :D

System: ... What the hell happened to changing him through love?

Mom, did I pick the wrong person? QAQ

Jiang Yi always knew that the Heavenly Dao would not tolerate him.

He destroyed his sect and upended the world, and then the Heavenly Dao began to regret it.

Countless people from other worlds transmigrated in an attempt to change him, but no one succeeded.

He had no intention of going back, until one day he found himself back at his sect again, for what felt like the umpteenth time.

That day, the junior sister who had never once looked him in the eye suddenly glanced at him.

Then... she ran straight to his senior brother without looking back.

The junior sister didn't seem to have come to save him.

Jiang Yi froze for a second, then sneered.

Interesting.
