-----------▼ Story Description ▼-----------

I.

Office worker Lin Tang transmigrates into the ongoing web novel he had been following, becoming the beautiful cannon-fodder whom Demon Lord Lu Wuchang has bought off in the Linghua Sect.

The beautiful man has a bewitching natural scent and secretly loves the Demon Lord. To frame the official male lead, he even poisons him, and is eventually killed by the Demon Lord himself.

By the time Lin Tang transmigrates, the original owner has already done all kinds of wicked things and been expelled from Linghua Mountain. He has two choices:

1. Turn himself in and use his blood, which can cure illness, to become the Demon Lord's tool and employee.

Lin Tang: Ha, as if! This overworked corporate drone will never work for anyone...

2. Find somewhere to wash his neck and wait for the Demon Lord to come kill him for framing his future wife.

Lin Tang: ...Not working is impossible. Workers have worker souls, and workers are the best of the best! Boss, I'm here!

II.

On his way to seek refuge, Lin Tang meets another cannon-fodder character whom the original owner had used as a "substitute for the Demon Lord."

This "cannon fodder" is also going to seek refuge with the Demon Lord. Deeply moved, Lin Tang grabs his future colleague and praises the Demon Lord to the skies.

His colleague narrows his eyes. "How do you know so much about the Demon Lord?"

To make sure this formidable colleague will protect him in the future, Lin Tang spares no expense:

"Actually, I've been in love with the Demon Lord for ages. Even after losing my memory, I still remember everything about him!"

Later, when danger strikes in a secret realm, Lin Tang is surrounded by the righteous cultivators.

He watches helplessly as his colleague slaughters his way through them, then reveals himself to be the flamboyant, vicious Demon Lord Lu Wuchang.

Lu Wuchang stands amid a murderous aura, smiling. "Tangzhi, say what you said before again?"

Lin Tang: Help! Is it too late for me to be reborn?

[Top's perspective]

Lu Wuchang had never taken the little thing he used as a tool seriously.

To him, it was just something he could summon at will, a noisy nuisance, a pawn he could discard at any moment.

...Or so it should have been.

But at some point, he found it impossible to look away from the little thing. Like a moth drawn to light, he grew greedy and yearning.

Unwilling to let useless feelings control him, he deliberately teased and bullied Lin Tang, cruelly spurning his heartfelt loyalty.

But Lin Tang never got angry. He always wore a bright smile. No matter what peril Lu Wuchang put him in, he was willing to brave fire and water for him, accepting it all with a smile.

And so Lu Wuchang was defeated. At last, he accepted that even someone who treated life as a game could have his heart stirred by another person's every move. When Lin Tangzhi was hunted by the righteous and fell into an abyss, Lu Wuchang sent an avatar to Lin Tang's side, hoping to preserve the last of his dignity.

"The Demon Lord's subordinate didn't come to save you. Aren't you sad?"

Lin Tang asked in surprise, "Why would he come save me?"

Lu Wuchang froze. "I heard you were in love with him..."

"Haha, how could I possibly like him? I was just trying to make a living under him because I had no choice."

[Usage Notes]

1. The story isn't perfect, and a lot of plot threads are left unresolved later on. That's the author's fault, sob. Angels who mind can drop it, hahaha.

2. The author can be a bit long-winded and tends to yell excitedly at the readers who've been following along, but the author's notes include bonus scenes. Feel free to hide them if you prefer.

3. In the early chapters, the bottom never fits into this world and treats everyone as characters in someone else's story, seeing himself as an outsider.

4. The top has never loved anyone else. He only loves the bottom.

5. The Demon Lord's groveling redemption arc comes very late! Boss Lu is quite good at making his wife suffer. In short, he's seriously messed up, so let's all chip in to beat him to death.

"Transmigrated into a Sickly Master to a Violent Antagonist [Book Transmigration]"

"The Poor Little One Marries into a Wealthy Family [Reborn]"

Historical danmei:

Zhao Yue transmigrates into the sickly master, Chao Jian Yue, of the novel's villain, the demonic cultivator Chen Ling. His mission is to make the pitiful young villain suffer until he turns evil.

Raised as a model student, Zhao Yue has no choice but to verbally abuse the little villain to stay alive. But the little villain is so docile and obedient that no matter how Zhao Yue punishes him, he accepts it willingly, making Zhao Yue's conscience ache more and more.

What hurts even more is that whenever he punishes the little villain, his senior brothers and sister don't try to stop him. They actually encourage him!

The Sect Leader and eldest senior brother: "Your second disciple is up to no good. Yue'er was kind enough to take him in. There's no need to go easy on him."

Second Senior Brother of the Hundred Battles Peak: "Yue'er is coughing up blood again! That little beast must have angered him! Throw him out!"

Third Senior Sister of the Hundred Spirits Peak: "That little beast can't even take care of you! Why keep him as a disciple?"

Zhao Yue: Help! I'm only offending powerful people because I have to. What's wrong with you all? Are you trying to get me killed along with you?

So Zhao Yue has no choice but to change his plan, from bullying the little villain to speaking up for him.

The Sect Leader senior brother hates the little villain, so Zhao Yue says, "Xiao Ling is a good kid. Senior Brother, don't be prejudiced against him."

The second senior brother criticizes the little villain, so Zhao Yue persuades him, "Thanks to Xiao Ling, I'm in a good mood every day."

The third senior sister mocks the little villain, so Zhao Yue earnestly says, "Xiao Ling is filial and capable. He's the disciple I love most."

It is a bumpy journey, but at least Zhao Yue manages to see the little villain through the story and raise him into a grown-up, evil Demon Lord villain.

The dark and violent Demon Lord Chen Ling returns from the demon realm, and the first thing he does is attack the Yunqiong Sect where he once lived.

Zhao Yue steps forward, shouting, "I'll take responsibility for my own actions! If there's any old grudge to settle, settle it with me!"

The Demon Lord strides through the sky and pulls him into his arms, chuckling. "For a hundred years, your disciple has suffered from longing. I'll obey your command and claim my repayment from you, Master."

Zhao Yue: ? What's wrong here?

[Top's perspective]

After being reborn, Chen Ling returns to a childhood full of ridicule and pain, a place of endless darkness.

The stunning master before him, beautiful as if he had stepped out of a painting, is utterly captivating. Life in the Yunqiong Sect is utterly painful.

He prepares to be treated as a servant, used as a test subject for medicine, and bullied as the beautiful master's favorite disciple...

He prepares to bide his time, only to find that reality is completely different from his memories.

The beautiful master coldly calls him useless, then turns around and praises him to others.

The beautiful master threatens to use him as a medicine ingredient, yet risks his own life to find the antidote to a deadly poison for him.

The beautiful master claims to dote on his eldest disciple, but secretly gives Chen Ling the best pills.

...A master unlike the one in his previous life, and love and warmth he had never known. Chen Ling crawls out of a cold ravine filled with blood and bones, his eyes blazing with utter madness.

You are not him.

But you are mine.

"The Poor Little One Marries into a Wealthy Family [Reborn]"

★1.

Ji Huan dies on a cold, rainy day.

In his ears, he hears his mother call him bad luck, his boyfriend ask, "Can his blood still be used for Weiwei?", and Ji Wei,

his beloved younger brother, holding his boyfriend's arm and smiling gleefully.

Ji Huan thinks his life has come to an end, but when he opens his eyes again, he finds himself back on the day he died.

This time, when Ji Wei once again steals his boyfriend right in front of everyone, making his formerly trusted ex humiliate him in public,

he turns to look at the host of the banquet:

The financial tycoon known to everyone in H City, a top big shot rumored to have billions in business dealings with Italy, Lu Wangyuan.

★2.

This banquet was supposed to be the tycoon's engagement party, but his intended partner fled, terrified of the violent man.

Ji Huan knows the tycoon's critically ill grandfather likes obedient marriage partners. He also knows that a year later, the tycoon will be assassinated in secret over a deal with Italy.

More importantly, before his death in his previous life, he remembers seeing an odd look of sadness on this man's face.

Looking at the tycoon, whose expression is sinister and whose lips curl into a smile as he sits above, watching the Ji family's drama,

he gathers his courage and walks up to take his hand.

"Sir, I'll be very good."

"I'll help you. I'll make a very good tool."

"So, would you choose me as your spouse?"

Lu Wangyuan looks at the little thing who doesn't know his place and smiles with interest.

"All right," he says.

★3.

All the wealthy families in H City think the Ji family's adopted son has gone crazy.

He'll do anything to climb the social ladder. They're completely mismatched, and he's too stupid to realize it. He'll probably be thrown out in disgrace at any moment.

All the powerful families wait for the little loser to fall so their own children can take his place. But even after the Ji family falls and Young Master Ji begs on the street,

Ji Huan still softly holds that man's hand and attends one important banquet after another.

And everyone who ever made things difficult for Ji Huan disappears without a trace, before anyone even realizes it.

The rich kids, resentful at heart, wait and wait. At last, news gets out one day that the Ji family's adopted son is injured and has reportedly been admitted to the hospital.

They all assume that country bumpkin Ji Huan must have overstepped and that the tycoon has broken his arms and legs. Some even start dreaming of becoming the Lu family's wife.

But the next morning's newspaper has a front-page photo of the tycoon, eyes red and clothes disheveled, rushing to the hospital.

Everyone is immersed in a sorrowful mood, while Ji Huan, looking at the wound that's only an inch long, sneaks over the hospital wall that very day while no one's paying attention.

Yay! I've repaid my debt!

Grandpa will recover soon, and I've already got several zeroes in my bank account! I can get divorced, buy a house, raise a dog, and live freely! I'm so happy!

Goodbye, mansion! Goodbye, luxury car! Goodbye, big shot...

Lu Wangyuan: Huanhuan, what did you say? (kind.jpg)

Ji Huan: B-big hubby QAQ

My friend Jinfei's story: "I Became the Variety Show Darling After Transmigrating as Cannon Fodder"

An Rao transmigrates into an entertainment-industry power fantasy novel, becoming the villain's cannon-fodder husband.

In the original story, the villain is a once-popular superstar who loves the male lead but cannot have him. After being drugged by the cannon fodder, he has no choice but to marry him.

The cannon fodder throws his weight around and bullies the protagonist's crew every day, enraging the villain, who kicks him out and cuts off all his sources of income, eventually driving him to ruin.

An Rao: Thanks, but no thanks. I just want to stay away from the protagonist's toxic crew, make money quickly, and fulfill my grand dream of traveling around the world.

He paints the "Ten Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" and is mocked for hiring someone to do it and faking his persona.

An Rao livestreams and earns a little money. His skills leave the antis stunned.

One of the country's top painters and calligraphers: "The work is both graceful and vibrant. I'd pay a high price to collect it."

He joins a wilderness survival variety show and is mocked for selling his body to get ahead.

With Bear Grylls taking over his body, An Rao carries his deadweight teammates to victory. His head contains the whole planet.

A fan of the original protagonist: "Who? I don't know that protagonist. Aren't I An Rao's little fan?"

He appears in a promotional video for a rural education program and is mocked for being scripted and only trying to build his public image.

He gives the lost lambs in the darkness love and enthusiasm, saving them.

The children who once called him a total idiot: "Teacher An, don't go! How can I live without you!"

*

An Rao thinks the fastest way to achieve his great dream of traveling around the world, even faster than taking jobs to earn money, is:

Divorce his villain husband and get a huge settlement.

Since the villain likes the male lead's refined, aloof charm, An Rao decides to do the opposite and be as irritating as possible.

An Rao starts showing off his legs, waist, and shoulders every day, coyly calling the villain "hubby" at every opportunity.

Sure enough, the villain is disgusted by his flashy, vulgar behavior:

"Don't show your waist. It looks bad."

"Pull your pants up. It looks bad."

"Don't sit with your legs apart. It looks bad."

Seeing that the villain's gaze is growing colder and even tinged with disgust, An Rao thinks the time is right to hint at divorce. But then...

The villain yanks down his crop top, frowning.

"I told you not to show your waist. It's ugly."

After a long pause, he adds righteously,

"Only I get to see it."

An Rao: ?
