I Came Back After the Mission Failed

This clueless author writes purely on inspiration, but my thoughts are chaotic and my bipolar disorder flares up intermittently. The initial inspiration has run dry, so I'm keeping the characters and basic premise while rewriting the story.

Fu Chenxue transmigrated into the villainous master of a dark fantasy novel about a chosen hero.

The novel's protagonist, Lou Guxing, was hated by everyone and despised even by dogs. Born under an ill-starred fate, he was destined to become evil and destroy the world, following the original plot. According to the System, Fu Chenxue's mission was to kill the grown-up chosen hero and save the world.

On a snowy night, Fu Chenxue found the male lead in a mass grave: a pitiful, filthy child with fear in his eyes. He took him home.

Faced with the poor little bundle, Fu Chenxue's heart softened.

He thought he could raise the chosen hero properly. Then the boy wouldn't turn evil or destroy the world, and they could both survive. But Fu Chenxue couldn't outwit the plot, and the events of the novel still came to pass.

On the day he joined the people of the immortal realm to kill Lou Guxing, Fu Chenxue's mind filled with memories of the little boy who used to cry and beg him for candy. Without hesitation, he took the sword formation's full force in Lou Guxing's place, and his soul was scattered.

The mission failed, and Fu Chenxue should have died. But when he woke up, he found that he had returned to his original appearance.

Just as he thought that stupid System had miscalculated his punishment and brought him back to life, he was captured and taken to a demon lair, where he was told to assassinate the Demon Lord.

In the Demon Palace, Fu Chenxue came face to face with a familiar, sinister face.

The crowd kneeling below pleaded, "We beg Your Lordship to spare him!"

Lou Guxing held a sword to the bewildered Fu Chenxue. Standing beside them was the body Fu Chenxue had once inhabited: Jiang Hanshu.

Fu Chenxue, completely in the dark: What do I do? This is urgent! Anyone online, help!

Lou Guxing was born under an ill-starred fate. Anyone who came near him met a terrible end.

Wherever he went, people despised him. He hated the people of this world and the way it worked.

But then someone barged into his world, like a ray of light appearing in the darkness, bringing him a warmth he would never have otherwise known.

As he lay dying in the Soul-Devouring Formation, he thought that if that person wanted his life, he wouldn't mind.

But when he saw that person throw himself in front of him and die in his place without hesitation, he felt a flicker of desire to destroy the world.

He hated everything in existence. He hated the Heavenly Way for taking everything from him.

He guarded that person's body for seven years. But when the shattered soul returned, he realized that this person seemed completely different from before.

Then a stranger appeared beside him, acting as if the person from his memories had possessed him. Perhaps he had mistaken one person for another from the very beginning.

Moody, devoted top × principled, saintly bottom

★★★ Please note ★★★

1. The bottom initially transmigrates into Jiang Hanshu's body. After dying, he leaves that body, and Jiang Hanshu's original soul returns.

2. While inhabiting Jiang Hanshu's body, the bottom acts aloof and does not have any romantic or physical intimacy with the top, aside from raising the child.

★★★ Please note ★★★

"The Regent Doesn't Want to Clear His Name"

Xuan Fengqi transmigrated into a popular historical romance as a debauched regent who held all the power in the realm.

The regent was naturally cruel and unpredictable. Anyone who displeased him, even a little, could lose their life. And because he was stunningly handsome, forbidden stories about him forcing various ministers into relationships began circulating among the common folk.

The young emperor of Great Zhou was an innocent, clueless sweetheart. Since he ascended the throne at twelve, the regent, Xuan Fengqi, had held the court in his grasp.

Only Xuan Fengqi, who had read the history books, knew that the seemingly docile young emperor would gradually weaken his power, seize his military authority, and sentence him to be cut a thousand times.

Xuan Fengqi knew all too well the old historical stories about a rabbit dying and its hunting dog being cooked. Since the wrongs had already been done, he knew there was no point in trying to win the emperor's favor.

So he chose to keep his grip on the court.

Before long, ministers who had planned to rebel willingly submitted to him.

His political enemies, who had once regarded him as a thorn in their side, joined his cause.

The bandits and raiders of Great Zhou were brought under control, and peace and prosperity returned to the land.

And at that very moment, the docile little emperor he had raised dropped his false mask, revealing sharp claws as he locked Xuan Fengqi in a cage. "You've done so much for my empire and never tried to seize my throne. Could it be that you're after the empress's position?"

Xuan Fengqi held a three-foot sword to Xie Yuncheng's throat. "No. I only want your empire."

Ruthless, sickly beauty of a regent, bottom × black-hearted, wolfish top

Theme: There are kind people in this world, and kind people will always be treated gently.
