After Entering My Own Fanfiction, My Characterization Fell Apart

The Immortal Venerable Shi Zheyun is peerless and refined, disciplined and abstinent, and renowned throughout the Three Thousand Realms as an untouchable beauty. His cultivation is profound. Even when he ventures alone into a dragon's lair or a tiger's den, not a drop of blood will stain his white robes. After saving the world, he withdrew from society to live in seclusion. Everyone assumed he had perished and his spirit dissipated. To commemorate him, writers and scholars vied to pen countless tales about him: "The Immortal Venerable and the Demon Venerable's Epic Romance," "The Immortal Venerable on the Bottom, the Demon Venerable on Top," "The Ailing Immortal Venerable's Secret Pregnancy"... Shi Zheyun was baffled. "Why do you all think the Demon Venerable and I are a couple? I personally sealed him away." Later, he transmigrated into The Ailing Immortal Venerable's Secret Pregnancy. His once-prized cultivation was completely useless. Not only was his body frail and sickly, he had also acquired some shameful tastes. For instance, he loved being locked in a gilded cage, and he liked having bells tied around his ankles... In reality, he and the Demon Venerable were sworn enemies who had never exchanged a civil word. The Demon Venerable was always expressionless in his presence. But the Demon Venerable who appeared before him now was a crybaby, a shameless tease, and a clingy flirt who confessed his love every day. He had no desire to get pregnant with the Demon Venerable's child. He took off the bells, left the gilded cage, and turned to go. Yet this body was far too attached to the Demon Venerable for him to leave. He even started coughing up blood. Only then did he remember that ninety-nine percent of The Ailing Immortal Venerable's Secret Pregnancy was devoted to erotic affairs. It was a tale of male-male romance. The Demon Venerable told him that he had come to the Demon Venerable's lair after declaring at the Demon-Slaying Assembly that he would use his own body to suppress the demons. The so-called method of suppressing demons with his body, of course, was the sort of thing you'd expect in The Ailing Immortal Venerable's Secret Pregnancy. At the time, all the righteous sects had been deeply moved by his self-sacrifice. His master had even given him a bottle of pills to strengthen his kidneys and body. It seemed not only his character had fallen apart. Everyone else's had, too. Coming soon: Married to a General Who Brings Death to His Wives. Here's the blurb: The young master of the Feng family in Jinling, Feng Changsheng, was not yet twenty. He had an air of detachment, yet at a poetry gathering, in full view of everyone, he stained the hem of his snow-white robe red. Everyone present assumed the young master was actually a woman in disguise, which explained why he was as beautiful as a woman. Three years earlier, when Feng Changsheng was fourteen, he had gotten his first period without understanding what was happening. His mother, afraid of angering his father but also clinging to a desperate hope, lied and told him that boys got periods too. She ordered Feng Changsheng never to mention it to his father. Now, seeing the shock in everyone's eyes, Feng Changsheng finally realized that boys did not get periods. His mother had lied to him. He must be a girl. He was at a loss and mortified, more humiliated than he had ever been in his life. He fled home in a panic, only to learn from his mother that he was actually intersex. His father felt utterly disgraced. He beat him, and when that still wasn't enough, locked him in a woodshed, intending to starve him to death. That very day, his fiancee, the daughter of a high-ranking official, sent someone to break off the engagement without hesitation. The next day, as he lay starving and dizzy, the woodshed door creaked open. The visitor came to stand before him, bent down, and held out a hand. Then he asked softly, "Changsheng, will you marry me?" His eyes had not seen the light for so long. He blinked again and again before he could make out the visitor's face. It was none other than the fearsome Ghost-Faced General, celebrated for his countless military victories. Rumor had it that the Ghost-Faced General had taken so many lives that three consecutive brides-to-be had died before their weddings. He had also once suffered a serious injury that had left him impotent. After a moment's thought, he took the Ghost-Faced General's hand and nodded. "All right." A year ago, the Ghost-Faced General had narrowly escaped death, only to discover that he was impotent. The day before, he had been drinking with someone in a tavern when he happened to look down. Feng Changsheng, dressed in white and stained with crimson, stood among the crowd, flustered but pretending to be calm. The sight struck him as both adorable and pitiable, and he found himself aroused. He immediately decided to make Feng Changsheng his. Strangely, a month later, Feng Changsheng was not dead from the General's curse. Instead, he married in grand style. Stranger still, he wore not a phoenix coronet and bridal robes but a wedding outfit identical to the Ghost-Faced General's. He did not ride in a bridal sedan, either. The Ghost-Faced General helped him onto a fine steed, and the two rode side by side. Gossipers were certain Feng Changsheng would eventually die from the General's curse. Instead, not only was he in excellent health, he became pregnant and had the Ghost-Faced General completely under his thumb. The General soon became famous for being henpecked. Feng Changsheng even went into business and made a great success of it. Theme: No matter how disappointing your circumstances may be, don't feel sorry for yourself.
