The Dao Companion I Picked Up Is the Male Lead

[Main story complete]

Ning Xi transmigrates into a book as the wicked supporting female character in a novel with a female protagonist. Though she carefully keeps her head down and tries to save her own skin, she still can’t escape being killed by the heroine.

Ning Xi has long since grown weary of life and thinks she can finally get a pleasant exit from the story. But not only does she survive, she also lucks into a cultivation partner. He’s gentle, considerate, and handsome, exactly to her taste. From then on, Ning Xi lives a shamelessly carefree life.

It’s just that her partner’s name sounds strangely familiar.

One day, at last emerging from her life of pleasure, Ning Xi remembers: her cultivation partner is none other than the male lead from the book, a character with almost no presence, and the heroine’s destined match!

To avoid another three hundred chapters of being tormented by the heroine, Ning Xi can only bear to leave her partner and run.

Ning Xi hides in a small sect that never appeared in the original story. Before long, she is told that the sect’s Grandmaster has taken an interest in her and decided to train her personally. But when she meets him, she discovers that the legendary Grandmaster is the very partner she abandoned.

Looking at Gu Qingshuang’s face, cold as frost, Ning Xi gently tugs at his sleeve. "Grandmaster, I was wrong."

Gu Qingshuang: "Do we know each other?"

Ning Xi: This is bad... he’s angry...

Feeling terribly guilty, Ning Xi spends the next several days trying to win Gu Qingshuang over. One day, when she goes to flatter him again, she discovers that the once gentle and considerate Gu Qingshuang has dismembered a disciple without so much as blinking, using extremely cruel methods.

Gu Qingshuang hasn’t even cleaned up the crime scene. He grips Ning Xi’s chin with bloodstained fingers, his voice still as gentle as jade.

"Have you decided what you should call me now?"

"H-h-husband."

"Good girl."

Ning Xi: Wuwu, where did my kind, gentle, and virtuous Shuangshuang go?

The First Counselor’s Wife Ran Away

Blurb:

Su Ruowan has had a secret crush for years on her unattainable ideal man: Xiao Xun, the cool, refined, and immensely powerful First Counselor of the Grand Secretariat.

Until one day, at her father’s birthday banquet, her ideal man stops her. His face is flushed, his gaze burning.

"Could you help me?"

After a few drinks, Su Ruowan can’t resist and takes him to her boudoir.

Afterward, Xiao Xun takes full responsibility and marries her. But rumors say she used underhanded means to marry him. Su Ruowan thinks Xiao Xun must believe it too, because she knows he has someone he loves as well.

So when the woman Xiao Xun loves returns, Su Ruowan conscientiously packs her things and chooses to leave. Before going, she thoughtfully leaves Xiao Xun a bowl of lotus seed soup she made herself.

But before she can even reach the city gate, Xiao Xun blocks her way with his men. His expression darkens as he corners her against a wall.

"Where is my wife going? Why not take your husband along?"

"I... I’m just going for a walk. I’ll be right back."

"Oh? Then what’s this?"

Xiao Xun pulls out a sheet of paper. The words "Divorce Letter" are written in big letters on one side, but on the back it says: I really like Xiao Xun, but I can’t have him. I hope I can turn gay.

Su Ruowan: "!!!!"

She accidentally tore out a page from her old journal!

Xiao Xun fell for Su Ruowan before he ever entered officialdom. After finally becoming First Counselor, he managed to marry her by going with the flow.

But before he could win her heart, she ran away, leaving him a divorce letter and a bowl of soup that would make him permanently unable to have children...

The Immortal Venerable Keeps Getting Stood Up

Blurb:

Song Qingzhi transmigrates into a book, becoming a female character in a male-oriented novel who admires the male lead and has a doormat complex.

She arrives just as the character is about to confess her love to the male lead. She has always hated being a doormat, so she uses her status as the male lead’s senior sister to give him a stern lecture, leaving him dejected and in seclusion.

She thinks she can spend the rest of her days lazing around, but the character’s doormat complex takes hold of her. She feels awful if she goes a day without fawning over someone.

After holding back for several days, Song Qingzhi happens to find a communication stone. She suddenly gets an idea and starts sending it a stream of messages every day:

"Babe, I dreamed last night that you called me by the wrong name. It’s okay, I’ll go change it right now."

"Babe, let’s have the baby. I’ll give it your surname."

"Babe, it’s getting hotter and hotter. Without your butt, I don’t know what I’d do."

Since she has no idea who is on the other end, Song Qingzhi lets loose completely. From then on, she feels refreshed every day.

But one day, she can’t stop herself from saying, "Babe, let’s meet in person." The communication stone, which has never answered before, clearly replies, "Okay."

This scares Song Qingzhi, but she has to keep fawning, so every time they arrange to meet, she stands the other person up without fail.

Finally, after she has stood the other person up thirty times, Song Qingzhi sends another stream of flattering messages through the stone. Her usually absent junior uncle appears before her, and the stone in his hand is playing her doormat declarations.

Song Qingzhi: "…"

Who knew people who actually respond to doormats still existed?

Theme: Face difficulties head-on and bravely keep moving forward
