After the Story Ends

Yun Dan was a novelist. Maybe after leaving too many stories unfinished, some retribution was bound to catch up with him: he transmigrated into a book.

It was a formulaic cultivation novel he'd written early in his career, and now he was a cannon-fodder character who only appeared a handful of times.

At the time, Yun Dan hadn't realized how serious the situation was. His first thought was that it wasn't so bad. After all, who hadn't dreamed of cultivating immortality?

Relying on his knowledge of the plot, Yun Dan leveled up and fought monsters while carefully avoiding the plot points that would eventually kill him.

Just when he thought he was safe, a rumor spread that he had a trove of treasures, and Yun Dan was killed in the name of vanquishing evil.

In his second life, Yun Dan was still that cannon-fodder character, and everything had returned to the beginning of the story.

He didn't want to resign himself to fate. After thinking it over, he decided to cling to his own beloved creation, the protagonist of the book.

After working tirelessly, just when Yun Dan thought he'd finally earned enough of the protagonist's favor, he died again.

He died beneath the edge of the protagonist's Canglan Sword.

As he lay dying, Yun Dan looked at the other's face, cold and impassive as snow, and suddenly realized something.

He'd given the protagonist of this book the Heartless Path as his cultivation path, and those who followed the Heartless Path would never fall in love.

Yun Dan didn't expect to have a third life.

This time, he was an insignificant passerby, and the story was already nearing its end.

After struggling through two lifetimes, Yun Dan was tired. All he wanted now was to lie flat.

But Yun Dan found it strange that the protagonist, who should have been embarking on the path to immortality, had fallen into demonic cultivation.
