The Survival Guide for a Much-Loved Side Character

Lu Qingqing transmigrates into a novel and becomes a beloved supporting character born with an irresistible, bewitching allure.

From eighty-year-old men to ants by the roadside, everyone falls madly in love with her, whether they are Demon Venerables or Divine Lords. Their infatuation even leads to a war between gods and demons that devastates the world, and she dies horribly in the chaos, with no protagonist’s plot armor to save her.

Lu Qingqing has only one thought: Run!

The first thing she needs to do is find the old man at the Ghost Market who can help remove her bewitching constitution. The second is to focus on building her career.

Old Man of the Ghost Market: Your bewitching constitution is an ancient curse. There are two ways to break it. One: harmonize yin and yang by doing it with eighty-one powerful cultivators at the Deification stage or above...

Lu Qingqing’s vision goes black. “Stop! What’s the second way?”

Old Man of the Ghost Market: A powerful medicine cultivator with the bloodline of an ancient god can break it.

But such a cultivator lives on another continent, far from the Dawn Continent. You need at least Golden Core cultivation to travel there through a teleportation array.

With her mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, Lu Qingqing steels herself and enters the Asura Secret Realm, where she can advance quickly.

As soon as she gets inside, she sees a monster beating up a little black spirit beast.

Unable to stand by while a fluffy creature gets bullied, Lu Qingqing steps in to help.

Lu Qingqing: Don’t be afraid. I’ll protect you from now on.

Fluffy Creature: Don’t want your protection.

Lu Qingqing: A spirit beast that isn’t affected by me? How unusual!

After enduring countless trials, Lu Qingqing becomes a Golden Core cultivator. But on her way to the teleportation array, she is surrounded by lechers from the Hehuan Sect. Just as she decides to take them down with her, a masked cultivator dressed in black drops from the sky and saves her.

Lu Qingqing: Hero, please let me repay you!

Man in Black: No need.

Lu Qingqing: A male cultivator who isn’t affected by me? What a personality!

*

After many hardships, Lu Qingqing finally joins the Yunmiao Sect. There, she comes face to face with a handsome, aloof man dressed in black.

Lu Qingqing: Why does Perfected Feng look familiar?

Feng Yingheng: Don’t act like we’re close.

Lu Qingqing is delighted. “So cold and indifferent, and he has no interest in me at all. I’ll make him my master!”

Many years later

Lu Qingqing lies in her master’s arms. “When did you start liking me?”

Feng Yingheng: Probably when you said you’d protect me.

A lively, adorable, clever heroine vs. a deeply devoted hero with many secret identities, cold on the outside and warm on the inside

Coming soon: My Frail Husband Is Actually a Dragon-Slaying Hero. Please add it to your favorites.

In her past life, Jiang Yun’s family was destroyed by villains. She was captured and offered as a sacrifice to a human-demon. To stop the villains from getting their way, she jumped off a cliff and killed herself.

To her surprise, after the fall she returned to the age of fifteen, the year her father sent her to study the Way.

Reborn, she will avenge herself and become stronger.

When Jiang Yun is eighteen, she goes down the mountain to gain experience and rescues a handsome scholar who is on the verge of death at the hands of thugs.

After recovering from his injuries, the scholar follows her, helping her slay demons and banish ghosts, and treating her with tenderness and care.

He looks frail, but never holds her back. At crucial moments, he can even hand her a yellow talisman or a peachwood sword.

A false identity makes life on the road more convenient, so the handsome scholar becomes Jiang Yun’s husband.

Jiang Yun thinks they will go on like this, but one day they are ambushed by yakshas. Just as she is in mortal danger, her usually delicate “husband,” who only ever shows any energy when he gets jealous, turns cold-faced and sweeps his hand through the air. The yakshas, who have devoured countless people, scream and disintegrate into dust.

Only later does Jiang Yun learn that her “husband” is the legendary Living Yama, feared by the living and howled at by ghosts.

“...” Jiang Yun is dumbfounded. “So what part of you is real?”

Scholar: My love for you is real. It has never changed.

Theme: Be brave and strive to change your fate and reach greater heights.
