The Hated Cannon Fodder Doesn't Want to Save Themselves

[Please add my upcoming story, After Senior Brother Sect Leader Comes Back to Life, to your collection! The blurb is below!]

The good-natured Shen Rongci transmigrated into a book. When he woke up, he discovered he'd become a gloomy villain hated by everyone. He'd bullied the male lead, Fifth Prince Gu Chiyuan, in every way imaginable, and ultimately died a gruesome death after trying to steal Gu Chiyuan's throne.

System: I'm sorry, but you have to complete the original plot before you can return to your world.

Shen Rongci (excited): There's an opportunity like this?

System: ...But don't worry. I also have a White Moonlight Handbook. Complete the bonus missions in it, and you can save yourself!

Shen Rongci (disappointed): Huh?

According to the original plot, Shen Rongci should put a venomous snake in Gu Chiyuan's book bag.

According to the White Moonlight Handbook, he can replace the snake with flowers.

Shen Rongci: That's way too boring.

The next day at school, Gu Chiyuan dumped a whole deskful of woven grass snakes out of his bag.

Young Gu Chiyuan was already frail. That very day, he was poisoned and nearly died.

According to the original plot, Shen Rongci should humiliate Gu Chiyuan by forcibly marrying his beloved younger sister.

According to the White Moonlight Handbook, he can find a suitable husband for the princess and help Gu Chiyuan gain support in the succession struggle.

Shen Rongci: Do I look like that kind of good person?

That very day, the gossip about the Heir of the Shen family asking the emperor for permission to marry the Fifth Prince spread throughout the city.

On their wedding night, Gu Chiyuan, wearing a phoenix crown and red wedding robes, smiled gently at him. "Husband, let's get some rest."

Shen Rongci blushed. "Um, this is my first time. Tell me if I hurt you."

Gu Chiyuan's smile widened. "Don't worry. I won't be hurt."

The next day, Shen Rongci woke up rubbing his aching waist. Looking at the man beside him, who wore a thoroughly satisfied expression, he had only one thought: I want to run.

So, is it too late to follow the White Moonlight route now?

-

Gu Chiyuan had hated Shen Rongci from the very first moment he saw him.

Gloomy, vile, and jealous, like a loathsome rat hiding in a rotting corner, ready to leap out and bite him at any moment.

But wasn't he just as dark and vile himself?

Once the darling of the heavens, he had been bullied relentlessly after his mother consort took her own life. Even his father never spared him a glance. The emperor had even thrown him into a pit of snakes in the hope of living a long life, letting venomous snakes crawl over him and gnaw him until his body was covered in wounds.

He gradually stopped caring about life and death and became cold and ruthless. Torturing people to death was his only pleasure.

Shen Rongci claimed to love him. If he ever learned about Gu Chiyuan's darkest side, he would probably run faster than anyone else.

But at some point, Shen Rongci changed.

The way he spoke, the way he looked at people...

He was beautiful just standing there.

Like a little sun.

Gu Chiyuan wanted to pluck that little sun from the sky and make it his own.

Because it was his only salvation.

Blurb for After Senior Brother Sect Leader Comes Back to Life

False gentleman x true scoundrel

Zhi Tan is both stupid and wicked, with enemies across all three realms. Everyone wants him dead.

The only reason he's still alive is his senior sect brother, Duchuan.

As the sect leader of the foremost of the four great sects, Duchuan is a true gentleman, praised by all. Zhi Tan is his one stain, and his only weakness.

It's precisely because his senior brother always covers for him that Zhi Tan has been allowed to run wild.

But one day, Duchuan died.

If the news got out, Zhi Tan's enemies would tear him limb from limb and make him beg for death!

To stay alive, Zhi Tan spared no effort or expense, using every means at his disposal and an ancient forbidden art to bring Duchuan back to life.

But the one who awoke in Duchuan's body wasn't the senior brother he used to know...
