Turns Out I'm the Weak, Pitiful Bottom in a Dog-Blood Romance

Coming soon: I Accidentally Turned the Script into a Love Triangle. Check it out in my author profile! The blurb is at the very end. ☆

(I'll probably post lots of bonus chapters now and then, but there won't be a set schedule.)

Shen Qingzhi is a brainless villain in a scum-and-masochist romance novel. Madly obsessed with the protagonist shou, he fights the tyrant gong for his attention and picks a feud with the second male lead, a war god who has been making a name for himself since he was young.

In five years, he loses his left arm and his position as chancellor. He even puts himself in the crosshairs of a coup, all to make his beloved smile...

In the end, riddled with arrows and barely alive, he finally succeeds in making the other man laugh. The beauty nestles in the tyrant's arms, giggling, his gaze as cold as if he were staring at a dead fish.

At that moment, Shen Qingzhi finally understands.

All the trials and tribulations created by the so-called villain are nothing but a seasoning that lets the scum gong and masochistic shou play at being in love.

“...”

So what kind of utterly hopeless idiot is he? He's handsome and powerful, so why insist on dying for three lunatics? Isn't living your own fabulous life so much better?

He scrapes by with his life, and the villain “turns over a new leaf,” deciding to stay far away from the protagonist gong and shou, body and soul. He heads out among the common folk and starts building a career.

But in the second year after he escapes, reborn...

He hears that after the tyrant scum gong watched him die, he knelt before his grave, choking back his grief. In a single night, he lost all his imperial majesty.

The once-proud beauty chancellor dug up his grave in the dead of night. Clutching his corpse as if it were a priceless treasure, his eyes slowly reddened.

The war god went straight to the palace hall and declared that he would tear the culprit limb from limb to avenge the one he loved!

And now these three lunatics are fighting over his corpse!

Bloodshed sweeps across the land. The protagonists draw their blades against one another, until... the lunatics find the person they were looking for.

Shen Qingzhi, who hasn't enjoyed more than a few peaceful days, looks utterly bewildered. “...?? Don't come any closer!”

☆ Keep discussion civil. No personal attacks or taking things out of context, and no arguing. Mwah! (≧3≦)

Above all, please don't take it out on the other readers of this story.

IMPORTANT

Read the warnings: The fun comes from the protagonist's career success, and the golden finger works whenever the plot needs it. It's absurd and silly, and the logic is dead, so proceed with caution if that bothers you. (The original gong and shou never had a romantic relationship.)

Everyone the shou meets is drawn to him.

Everyone is crazy, including the shou and the side characters. The System controls the general direction of the plot, and once the shou dies, everything completely falls apart.

I Accidentally Turned the Script into a Love Triangle

Chen Zhen transmigrates into a xianxia story full of powerful figures. His mission is to reform three top-tier powerhouses who are mortal enemies and preserve peace in the cultivation world.

His targets are a mad, villainous fiend; an immortal revered one who turned dark after being betrayed by the immortal realm; and a male supporting character who became a demon out of resentment after his love went unrequited.

To keep from blowing his cover, Chen Zhen uses three secret identities to navigate the lives of the powerful men.

To the villain, he is a loyal, devoted subordinate who hides his feelings.

To the immortal revered one, he is a sweet-natured, virtuous, and obedient disciple.

To the male supporting character, he is a true friend who values loyalty and has repeatedly risked his life to save him.

* The villain was humiliated by the righteous sects from childhood and despises the hypocritical airs of the immortal sects. When he moves to kill the immortal revered one...

Chen Zhen hands him a blade.

* The immortal revered one was once cool, noble, and a protector of all living things. After his heart of the Ruthless Dao was shattered, he was consumed by desire, and through the nights when he couldn't control his wicked impulses...

Chen Zhen offers himself to sate those desires, staying by his side without wavering.

* The male supporting character is a gloomy, ghostly type. The junior brother he had always felt a kindred spirit with joined the immortal revered one's sect and cruelly abandoned him.

Through countless brushes with death...

“Junior Brother” Chen Zhen gives him a helping hand in battle, then becomes the confidant who pulls him out of the mire.

At first, the powerhouses lash out at Chen Zhen, who's just arrived, cursing him and taking out their anger on him. But little by little... they realize they can't bear to be without this insignificant character they once looked down on.

Unlike anything that came before, as long as Chen Zhen is by their side, the restless heart in their chest is soothed, no matter how violent they become.

They have come to see him as the sole salvation in their darkness.

At last, the mission nears its end, and the powerhouses are on the verge of being healed. Then a trap leaves all three demons confined together.

And in the demons' “warm” greetings, the “deception” that has lasted for years is finally exposed.

To make matters worse, trapped with them is Chen Zhen, cowering in a corner without any of his secret identities, the master of keeping everyone happy who has been serving as their subordinate, disciple, and confidant all at once.

“...”

Facing his targets, now a hundred times more violent than before, Chen Zhen is so scared his teeth chatter.

“Help! What do I do when three powerful men discover all my secret identities at once?”
