Giving the Scheming Male Supporting Character a Silly Persona

This story is complete. Please add my new story, My CP Is the Martial Uncle Who Returned from the Demon Realm, to your reading list! It launches on October 25. See the bottom for the blurb.

The moment Feng Niannian opened her eyes, she found herself as a cannon-fodder character in a book, about to die, and married to Murong Chen, an elder of the Xuantian Sect. In the original story, Murong Chen's cultivation level was set quite high when he first appeared, but as a background character, he was obviously destined to be overtaken by the male lead. And since Elder Murong was cold and aloof, he wasn't well-liked. He looked doomed to meet his end sooner or later.

Feng Niannian clasped her hands together. "I don't think this is right~"

After transmigrating, Feng Niannian devoted herself to Murong Chen and created one upstanding, righteous persona after another for his sake.

Murong Chen: "Upstanding and righteous? It's obviously a goofy persona."

Feng Niannian: "It's upstanding and righteous with just a tiny bit of goofiness."

Then Murong Chen began to sense something was wrong. When had he become so popular that everyone loved him?

Male lead: "Where's my protagonist's halo? Where's my huge protagonist's halo?"

Murong Chen: "Actually, I didn't want this. My wife just keeps giving me too many personas."

At first, Murong Chen only wanted to enjoy the furious faces of the male lead and the others when their attempts to expose his true nature failed.

He'd long since decided to do something bad. His upstanding and righteous persona was only temporary.

As more and more people began following him, he wondered when he could finally take off the mask of a hypocrite.

But the longer he kept up the act, the sooner the original male lead was the one to break character.

Murong Chen looked at Feng Niannian's gentle, harmless, fake-lazy-fish face. His heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly thought that keeping up the act forever might not be so bad.

Murong Chen, with a serious expression: "Something must be wrong with me."

Reading guide: The female lead pretends to be a lazy fish, but she's no real little white rabbit. The male lead goes from irredeemable to redeemable. The story is full of schemes. Both leads start out cold and aloof, but gradually change.

Coming soon: My CP Is the Martial Uncle Who Returned from the Demon Realm

Lu Xuan had always had one problem: everyone mistook her and her senior brother Ying Wulie for a match made in heaven. No one listened when she tried to explain, and it was a real nuisance for someone who was devoted to cultivation.

Then one day, Ying Wulie brought home his soft, sweet sweetheart, Ruan Zhu, and Lu Xuan was finally able to relax.

Who could have guessed that everyone in the sect would assume she'd been dumped and was heartbroken, looking at her with pity?

Even Ruan Zhu, her senior brother's sweetheart, kept looking at her with a pitiful expression. It was enough to give her a headache.

Lu Xuan: "Ah, this is unbearable."

When people thought she'd had her heart broken, all her acquaintances rushed to stand up for her.

Demon King Chi Xiao patted his chest. "The most important thing in life is loyalty. We're friends, so I'll marry you!"

Lu Xuan: "I don't like goofballs."

Yuan Mei, the Evil Venerable who'd been at each other's throats with her for years, looked thoughtful. "If you follow my wishes, I'll grant you supreme glory. I'm looking for a wife anyway."

Lu Xuan: "I don't like love-hate relationships."

Her senior sister Shen Li, the City Lord of Beili City, was even more generous. "I have a younger brother, sixteen years old, pure and innocent, gentle in temperament, and handsome to boot. Please accept him."

Lu Xuan: "..."

Lu Xuan: "I feel like I'm going to die!"

After all that, everyone thought she'd fallen deeply in love and intended to remain chaste for Ying Wulie. Even Ying Wulie's gaze toward her seemed a little off.

Lu Xuan wasn't exactly happy about it, but she couldn't just get herself a CP to prove everyone wrong.

Lu Xuan: "I have no worldly thoughts about men."

But after the Demon Realm and the righteous sects signed a peace treaty, Jiang Xuanyi, Martial Uncle Jiang, returned from his years undercover.

Lu Xuan ate her words: "It's so good~"

Martial Uncle had suffered greatly while undercover. A scar on his neck had damaged his vocal cords, but he was still such a gentle person. Whenever he treated Lu Xuan gently, she couldn't help blushing.

She fell for Jiang Xuanyi, and he seemed to like her too. The two of them soon became a CP.

Ying Wulie ground his back teeth. "Didn't Junior Sister cultivate the Heartless Way? How can you fall in love?"

The sweet and delicate Ruan Zhu seemed unhappy too.

Lu Xuan's friends and family: "Martial Uncle Jiang seems like a decent guy, although he's a bit of a tea."

Jiang Xuanyi went undercover in the Demon Realm for three years, then another three. He stirred up trouble and even dabbled in deposing and replacing the Demon Lord in his spare time. He was a dangerous man wanted by both sides.

After both sides signed the peace treaty, Jiang Xuanyi finally took off his disguise and returned home.

Once he'd become a CP with Lu Xuan, Jiang Xuanyi gazed at the woman he loved and wondered how he could explain all his secret identities to her.
