[Abandoned story, do not read]
Fang Zhilu transmigrated into a xianxia novel as a cannon-fodder character. As the battle between good and evil began, he remembered his place as a disposable extra, sat out the fighting, and prepared to run away. To his surprise, a streak of blue light flew in from the horizon and carried him off.
Three days and three nights later, Fang Zhilu, weak and trembling, clutched his tattered clothes and stared at the tall, strikingly beautiful villain, Lord Jiuwang. He heard him say, "When we return to the sect, we'll marry."
Fang Zhilu: "?"
There was really no need!

Fang Zhilu had read the original novel from beginning to end, criticizing it all the way through. It was hard not to remember how the author kept stretching and compressing Ying Jiuwang's character description.
He devoted himself to sword cultivation, heartless and emotionless. Women were merely obstacles on his path to immortality, and if they got in his way, he'd kill them with a single sword strike...
Oh, and he also killed the chosen one's beloved white moonlight.
A hundred years later, the chosen one, A Jiu, returned to take revenge for his beloved. Ying Jiuwang's sect was wiped out, and his parents and clan were imprisoned in the Ninefold Abyss, where they suffered soul-devouring, body-destroying torment until they perished a thousand years later.
Being Lord Jiuwang's family was a high-risk occupation. Fang Zhilu ran for it.

To stay alive, and hopefully rise to immortality alongside the chosen one as part of his entourage, Fang Zhilu went to the chosen one's ramshackle sect and showered him with food, drink, and attention.
But... why was the chosen one looking at him more and more strangely?
One morning, Fang Zhilu stared fixedly at the blue sword scar over the "chosen one's" heart. The man lifted a lock of his black hair and said, "When will you come back with me to get married?"
For the first time in his life, Fang Zhilu swore.
Damn it! You got the wrong person!!! The real chosen one is still in the back hills cutting grass and feeding pigs!

After Ying Jiuwang was gravely injured, he glimpsed the secret of overcoming the tribulation. He sealed away his cultivation and appearance, then set out to experience the tribulation under the assumed name A Jiu. Who could have known that Fang Zhilu, who had suddenly vanished, would start lavishing attention on him every day?
When he was hungry, Fang Zhilu cooked him a whole banquet. When he was sick, Fang Zhilu stayed up all night looking after him. When he was hurt, Fang Zhilu cried harder than anyone.
Fine, fine. He was the Dao companion he'd chosen, after all. Fang Zhilu could play however he wanted.
