After Failing to Save the Young Demon Lord

Before transmigrating into a book, the System told Ren Xi his mission was to save the young Demon Venerable: start when he was a child, let him feel the world's love and warmth, and stop him from turning evil. The System spoke with absolute confidence: It's just childcare. No difficulty at all! After transmigrating into the book, Ren Xi opened his eyes and discovered he had become a vegetable. And the Demon Venerable the System said he should start raising as a child had already endured every kind of pain and torment, fallen into the depths of an abyss seething with demonic energy, and turned as evil as he could possibly get. He was only one final step away from becoming the Demon Venerable: having his body flooded with demonic energy. Ren Xi burst into tears. Wasn't I supposed to be raising a child!? To ease the villain's suffering and keep his descent into evil from going too far, Ren Xi had no choice but to diligently cultivate every day, absorb demonic energy, and use his own juice to ease the Demon Venerable's pain and heal his injuries. He worked hard for over half a year and finally managed to heal the Demon Venerable's wounds. The System happily brought him some good news: Headquarters had gotten him a body, so he didn't have to stay at the bottom of the cliff and keep being a vegetable! Ren Xi: Something this good can happen? * After years of chaos, the Demon Realm suddenly welcomed a new Demon Venerable. With an iron fist, he united the warring factions and stood against the Heavenly Dao cultivators who had run rampant for years. This Demon Venerable kept himself shrouded in black demonic energy all year round, so no one could glimpse his true appearance. Rumors about him spread throughout the Demon Realm. They said the Demon Venerable devoured flesh and drank blood, slaughtered people without mercy, and had a fearsome appearance with a green face, fangs, and three heads and six arms. His greatest pleasure was eating little plant spirits. But he was terribly picky, and not one of the little spirits the demons sent him had caught his eye. The demons who wanted to curry favor with their new Demon Venerable were so worried they'd lost handfuls of hair. Just then, news came from the Heavenly Dao: a spirit plant, one that had taken a thousand years to reach human form, had appeared. A single breath of its scent could clear the mind, and a single bite could lead one to great enlightenment. Everyone was scrambling to get it. The demons were overjoyed and hurriedly dispatched a large force, vowing to seize this rare plant for their Demon Venerable. After untold hardship, they brought the little spirit they'd successfully snatched from the Heavenly Dao cultivators into the Demon Venerable's palace. There, the Demon Venerable, usually hidden in a mass of black demonic energy, revealed his incomparably handsome face. He crouched in front of the little spirit, pinched his chin, and said, "Show me your true form." Ren Xi's eyes brimmed with tears. "Waaah." #The rumors that the Demon Venerable has three heads and six arms are all false!# #But it's true that the Demon Venerable likes little plant spirits!# * Xie Zhen searched for that little weed for three years. Just as he was about to believe the lightning had struck it dead, the little weed, now in human form, was delivered right before his eyes. Possible content warnings: 1. The author is illiterate.

Coming soon: The Male Lead of a Political Intrigue Novel Fell for Me Synopsis: Shen He hadn't even found a boyfriend yet when he transmigrated into a political intrigue novel with a male lead, becoming the ultimate cannon fodder. The male lead raised this cannon fodder himself, trusted him, and groomed him to become his most important aide. But the cannon fodder betrayed him and was eventually torn apart by chariots on the male lead's orders. Shen He: trembling.jpg He didn't dare become a powerful minister, and he wasn't cut out for it. He just wanted to cling to the male lead's coattails, throw his weight around by relying on him, and find himself a handsome boyfriend someday. Shen He began working diligently to cling to those coattails. When he was learning to talk, the first words out of his mouth were "Big Brother Crown Prince." When he learned to walk, the first person he ran to was Big Brother Crown Prince. When he learned to write, the first name he wrote was still Big Brother Crown Prince. He worked hard at this for over a decade and successfully became a veteran employee. Overall, he was pretty happy with the job. The benefits were excellent, and he only had one person to work for. When the male lead was busy, he could throw his weight around, bully people while riding on his reputation, and become a tyrant in the capital. By the time he turned twenty, he could retire in glory and take his piles of gold and silver to enjoy his retirement! He'd already picked out where to go: Jiangnan! He'd heard its mountains and rivers were good for you. Surely he could find a gorgeous boyfriend there! * Shen He had been eagerly waiting, day and night, for the male lead to clear all the obstacles in his path and ascend the throne, becoming the most powerful person in the world. Shen He was delighted: I'm retired, woohoo! That night, he packed his belongings, exchanged his money for bank notes, and contacted his good friend to prepare for their trip to Jiangnan. His friend never showed. The male lead did. The male lead pinched Shen He's chin, his tone dangerous. "He He, I hear you want to buy a house and settle down in Jiangnan, and find yourself a handsome young man to be your wife?" Shen He spoke with a tremble in his voice. "C-can't I find a man?" The male lead smiled. "You can. Find your big brother. Big Brother Crown Prince will make you Empress." #I just want to slack off, but he wants me to be Empress# #Do I look like the kind of tyrant of the capital who can rule the empire as Empress?# Coming soon, second story: Starting Over with a Max-Level Character Synopsis: Cheng Yan had been a zombie for six years, progressing from a little zombie to the Zombie King. Just as he was about to reach the maximum level, he got his head blown off. When he opened his eyes again, he had been reborn as a human with the same name. As luck would have it, his new human body had a senior fellow disciple who was none other than Qi Jianrui, the strongest human alive and the one who had blown his head off. This body was not only that of a weak human, but also belonged to a pathetic little nobody everyone in the base looked down on. He'd tried to cling to Qi Jianrui's coattails, but only made a fool of himself. He was frail and impoverished; even a thief would go in and say, "It's really clean in here." After getting a second chance at life, Cheng Yan found himself miserable, enduring scornful looks from countless people. Meanwhile, the enemy who had blown his head off stood high above him, revered by everyone. Cheng Yan: I can't stand this humiliation! I'll figure out a way to get revenge and take out my enemy! * Cheng Yan was very eager for revenge. But he was nowhere near equipped for it. He had two possible paths: One: Charge straight in. Whether he could kill Qi Jianrui would come down to luck. He could take a gamble; maybe Qi Jianrui wouldn't be on guard and Cheng Yan could kill him with one stab to avenge himself. Two: Accept base missions like a good citizen, head out to kill zombies and dig up crystal cores for contribution points, level up from scratch, and kill Qi Jianrui once he was strong enough. Cheng Yan chose the second option. He was sure that if he chose the first, he wouldn't even get his knife all the way out before Qi Jianrui turned him into human barbecue. * Actually, Cheng Yan had a third option. To kill the Zombie King, Qi Jianrui had paid a huge price and suffered lingering side effects. He had developed an inexplicable craving for Cheng Yan's blood. The first time he lost control at the base, he pinned Cheng Yan down and bit his neck, drinking his blood. Afterward, Qi Jianrui wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up, and said coldly, "Don't tell anyone about this. I'll compensate you. Think about what you want, then tell me." The young man lying on the ground gave a sneer. "Sure. I want crystal cores." At first, it was a mutually beneficial arrangement. But gradually, Qi Jianrui no longer wanted to stop at a transaction. Later, the young man who had once cooperated suddenly shut him out. Qi Jianrui knocked on his door, breathing raggedly. "Help me." Cheng Yan beamed. "Beg me." Qi Jianrui lifted his head and stared at him. Restraining himself, he said, "I'm begging you." * Before becoming a zombie, Cheng Yan had once been a famous human leader. Countless people had admired him, loved him, and followed him. Only after their leader fell did they have no choice but to part ways, filled with resentment and grief. When they discovered signs that their leader had returned, his former followers were overjoyed! They hurried to the base as fast as they could, hoping to invite their leader to leave with them. Instead, they found mountains of corpses outside the base, with a vast number of high-level zombies they had never seen before crouching in eager anticipation beyond the walls. Humans and zombies stared at each other. !!! No one gets to take our leader/king away from us! Cheng Yan: orz What do I do when every business I start is so successful that my old teams come looking for me? His new base buddies clung to his leg. "Boss, don't abandon us!" Theme: If everyone gives a little love, the world will become a better place.
