Why Won't the Obsessive Gong Die Already? [Quick Transmigration]

Original title: Mad Junior Brother Rescue Plan [Quick Transmigration]

[The cover is a character design of the gong and shou drawn by the author. It should maybe, probably, possibly be a tiny bit better than the default cover ;-;]

Blurb

[His worldly ties remain unresolved, so he cannot become an immortal.]

At the moment of his ascension, Shen Shu unexpectedly discovers an unseverable karmic bond attached to him.

"After you left, he slaughtered the sect for you, killing hundreds."

Shen Shu frowns in confusion. "And what does that have to do with me?"

*

The madman has his soul torn out and is cast into reincarnation, where he endures every hardship the world has to offer.

Shen Shu is forced to pass through ten lifetimes with the madman in order to unravel their karmic bond.

Shen Shu: If he dies, the world will end, right?

System: Babe, that is a very dangerous idea!

Until

The man brushes his bloodstained cheek against Shen Shu's fingers. "Aren't you a clean freak? Then I'll be as annoying as I like. I'll make sure you remember me for the rest of your life."

Shen Shu, cold and distant: You'll be dead in three days.

Unexpectedly, the madman only laughs harder. "Which way would you like me to die? How about I die for you right now?"

*

Shen Shu: A madman in love with me all by himself thinks he can be bound to me by karma?

Shen Shu, a little later: I take it all back!

#AnotherDayOfWantingHimToFlop#

Reader's guide:

1. Shou-focused.

2. Pitiful, crazy, love-brained gong x aloof beauty shou (Shen Shu, you have no heart!)

3. Entirely fictional setting, with many original worldbuilding details later on.

4. The first two worlds are short; the rest will be of normal length. Some worlds may have bad endings, but the overall ending is happy.

Theme: Saving others is also saving yourself.
