(The blurb has been revised. The manuscript is in progress. I'll start this one after finishing the interstellar story.)
After transmigrating into a book and completing his mission, Gu Yunyi was reborn in the body of a boy in a tiny, rundown sect. His cultivation was completely gone, and everyone despised him.
The moment he opened his eyes, he heard people discussing the secret identity he'd used for his mission. On a whim, he went over to join them:
The Immortal Venerable's disciple you're talking about is me.
What's more, I know the Demon Venerable and the Demon Emperor.
Everyone knew that the Immortal Venerable's disciple had once shaken the heavens with a single sword strike and made a name for himself in the cultivation world. Sadly, he died young at just sixteen, a loss the cultivation world still mourned.
The Immortal Venerable's disciple himself didn't even know any Demon Venerable or Demon Emperor.
Hearing Gu Yunyi's nonsense, the crowd scoffed. Someone held out a hand. "Fine. If you're really the Immortal Venerable's disciple, then pay back the money you owe. No problem, right?"
At the mention of how much he owed, the boy's smile froze.
Damn, he was drowning in debt?

So, to pay off his debts, Gu Yunyi waved his brush and wrote: The Cultivation World's Hidden Secrets, Unknown to 99.99% of People, Will Leave Men Speechless and Women in Tears!

The sect disciples thought: Senior Brother hasn't just lost his cultivation, he's gone mad!
The elder who had once believed Gu Yunyi had boundless potential sighed: We can't keep this disciple.
Later, when The Corrupted Immortal Venerable Took Me Away, and Now I Can't Escape began serializing, everyone complained about it while still paying to read it. After finishing the story, they realized that the protagonist taken away by the Immortal Venerable was none other than Gu Yunyi, who had always claimed to be the Immortal Venerable's disciple.
Everyone chuckled and concluded: It's fake, don't believe it. Still, it's a pretty good way to pass the time.
In short, they treated it as a joke and laughed it off.
That was until a cultivation tournament, when Gu Yunyi was forced to use the very sword strike that had made the Immortal Venerable's disciple famous. Only then did someone realize something was off.
Damn, could what this guy wrote actually be true?
And what about that Demon Venerable and Demon Emperor?
Curious onlookers followed the trail through Gu Yunyi's youthful ramblings and the stories he'd written. The clues began to line up, revealing a great deal, until everyone was stunned.
It seemed Gu Yunyi had... more than one identity???
He was the Demon Venerable's white moonlight and the Immortal Venerable's cinnabar mole; the Demon Emperor's beloved and the Western Regions' uncanny doctor's blood on his blade.
Each of these identities was inextricably linked to lofty figures in the cultivation world.
Before long, the Demon Venerable, Immortal Venerable, Demon Emperor, and uncanny doctor had all shown up at his door.
Gu Yunyi: "..."
Um, the similarities between the stories and real events were purely coincidental... Do you believe me?

The world knew the Immortal Venerable Yuanyue as cold and clear as the moon, but no one knew that in his endless search, he had long since been consumed by inner demons and fallen gravely ill.
A hundred years later, he finally heard news of that person.
Under the silver moon, a man with frost-white hair trailing to the ground sat before a jade coffin. He opened his eyes and raised his gaze.
Faced with the myriad tribulations of heaven, he severed his own soul.
No matter the cost, he would find that person. This time, he wouldn't let him escape...!
Reading Guide: 1. The top is the Immortal Venerable. The top is the Immortal Venerable. The top is the Immortal Venerable. It's important, so I'll say it three times.
2. The two leads are mutually in love. The arrows are roughly top→→→(←)(←)←bottom. Everyone else only has one-way feelings for the bottom!
3. 1v1, happy ending.
4. That's all. Enjoy!
