After Entering an OOC Fanfic with My Nemesis

Yan Xiao is a demonic supremacist, notorious for betraying his master and ancestors, and loathed and feared by all.

Wei Ningfeng is a prodigy of unparalleled talent, revered and admired for slaying demons and vanquishing evil.

Everyone believes the two are destined for a fight to the death.

Some righteous cultivators somehow learn that Yan Xiao has been searching for the person who saved his life when he was young. Using this as bait, they lure him into a trap, intending to destroy him.

Yan Xiao looks at the righteous cultivators, all sanctimonious on the outside and rotten within, and laughs. Then he says to Wei Ningfeng, standing before him, “We've been at each other's throats for years, but honestly, you're the one person in the righteous sect I like best. If I ever get the chance, I'd love to sit down and have a drink with you.”

Wei Ningfeng pauses, frowns, and says nothing.

Yan Xiao doesn't mind his reaction, but he notices that Wei Ningfeng is going easy on him during the fight.

Just as Yan Xiao looks for a chance to escape, he realizes someone has already laid a formation to destroy both him and Wei Ningfeng. They've even used the only divine artifact in the world. Even if Yan Xiao wants to protect Wei Ningfeng, he can't stop their deaths.

But fate is unpredictable. When they open their eyes again...

Yan Xiao looks at the tearful “Wei Ningfeng” before him, whose eyes show stubborn resentment as well as fear. The man yells at him with all the defiance of someone facing death: “Yan Xiao! You bastard, get lost! You can have my body, but you'll never have my heart! Touch me and I'll kill myself right now!”

Yan Xiao, who has spent his life doing whatever he pleased, feels like he wants to go back and die all over again: ...

Meanwhile, Wei Ningfeng sees a wickedly grinning “Yan Xiao” say to him, “Man, you can't escape my grasp.” When Wei Ningfeng doesn't react, “Yan Xiao” gives him a look of thirty percent mockery, thirty percent cold indifference, and forty percent nonchalance. “Good. Little wildcat, you've caught my attention again.”

The stone-faced expression Wei Ningfeng has maintained all his life as a steady, serious man turns to a petrified face and shatters: ...

When Yan Xiao sees “Yan Xiao,” and Wei Ningfeng sees “Wei Ningfeng,” they look at each other and can't help sharing the same thought: Forget the schemes for now. First, I need to give this idiot a proper lesson. I absolutely cannot let him think I'm this stupid.

Main couple: Original Yan Xiao x original Wei Ningfeng

Possible secondary couple: OOC Yan Xiao x OOC Wei Ningfeng (though this idiot of an author can't even say for sure whether they'll get together in the end)

OOC: Short for “Out of Character,” meaning “inconsistent with someone's personality” or “unexpected.” In fanfiction, OOC means distorting a character's personality until they depart completely from the original, saying things the character would never say or doing things the character would never do. In other words, it's behavior that doesn't fit the character, or even completely contradicts their established characterization. (From an encyclopedia.)
