(Please add my new novel to your favorites =V= The blurb for After Transmigrating into a Book as the White Lotus Senior Brother is below.) The great demon Yazi, from the Transmigration Bureau's Boss Division, was reported by every other division for being too vengeful. To make him change his vindictive, mean, and ungrateful ways and learn to let go, the Bureau launched a mandatory mission, sending Yazi into an angst-filled novel to play the villainous bottom who suffers 90% of the time and forgives the other 10%. Yazi transmigrated into the role of the selfless master of an ungrateful disciple. After diligently completing the 90% suffering quota, Yazi finally lay battered and injured in the hospital bed on the way to the happy ending. His ungrateful disciple had at last come to a painful realization and now tended to him day and night, giving him whatever he wanted. System: The mission-taker is amazing! The protagonist's affection level has reached 100! Now all you have to do is forgive the protagonist, and the main plot will be 100% complete. Our mission will be a total success! Yazi: But I'm seriously injured and can't take care of myself. I won't recover that quickly, will I? System: Well, that's true. Ten years later, Yazi still showed no signs of recovering. System: ??? Mission-taker, the protagonist has been looking after you, feeding you and helping you to the bathroom, for ten whole years! Yazi: I raised him as his master for ten years. Is he really so unwilling to repay me by taking care of me in my old age? System: QAQ When are you planning to finish the last 10% of the forgiveness plot? Yazi: Let's just repeat the first 90% of the script exactly as it was. After all, the only way to fix excessive vengefulness is to get revenge with precision. Bottom-focused story. Couple: Yazi, a deranged demon who delights in causing trouble, x some trash. Reader beware: This story is full of melodrama. The love interest doesn't change, and all the main characters are seriously messed up. They can't be happy unless they're putting each other through the wringer. --New Novel Blurb: After Transmigrating into a Book as the White Lotus Senior Brother-- Zhou Ming transmigrated into the xianxia novel The Ruthless Path, becoming Zhou Jingming, the white-lotus senior brother who was the story's central figure, its most deeply hidden villain, and the beloved ideal of countless people at the Heavenly Realm's Lumi Academy. He was the central figure because, without his secret sabotage, the pitiful protagonist bottom would never have been forced into a political marriage with the third prince of the Demon Palace. After finally escaping home, the protagonist bottom would never have been misunderstood and shunned by the protagonist top because of the rumors Zhou Ming fabricated. He caused the most obstacles in the protagonists' arduous romance, and supplied the author with the most pages of rambling prose. He was the most deeply hidden villain because he single-handedly ran Lumi Academy, the Immortal Realm's leading cultivation training ground. He was the academy head's most capable right-hand man and the Immortal Realm's Shield, most hated by the Demon Realm. Who would have thought that such a person actually intended to harm the protagonists, simply because he was jealous of the protagonist bottom's kindness and innocence? Luckily, the heavens had other plans. The protagonist bottom awakened ahead of time and learned how the plot would unfold. He persuaded the protagonist top, who in turn convinced the academy head, his father, to change course at the Spirit Pool gathering where they were deciding who would be sent to the Demon Realm as a political spouse. They suddenly changed their minds and sent Zhou Jingming instead. "I hear the Demon Palace is debauched beyond belief. They say the third prince is the one getting married, but in reality, the bride has to serve both the Demon Lord and his son. What a shame that a man as talented as Senior Brother is about to become a plaything for evil demons..." "The Immortal Realm doesn't depend on any one person. Everyone's just been flattering him by calling him the Shield of the Immortal Realm. When he's gone, someone else can take his place..." Gossip drifted over from beside the wedding carriage, but Zhou Jingming didn't hear a thing. He was focused on assembling the double-barreled shotgun in his hands. He had never read a xianxia novel, and in a world where men could be sent off as political spouses, a boy had to protect himself with modern weapons. Some time later, word came from the Demon Palace that the three princes had fought over Zhou Jingming so fiercely that the old Demon Lord had emerged from seclusion early. A while after that, the old Demon Lord decided to marry Zhou Jingming himself, announcing it to the world as the Demon Realm celebrated. People in the Immortal Realm watched the spectacle, all remarking that sending the white-lotus senior brother there had been the right call. One man alone had made the father and sons of the Demon Palace turn on each other, bringing endless entertainment. Meanwhile, the protagonist bottom reunited with his birth father, an Immortal Lord, and, with everyone's blessings, became the new Shield of the Immortal Realm. He married the protagonist top, the Blade of the Immortal Realm. At their wedding in Xingzhou, cannons shook the nine heavens. A colossal airship, taller than the Heavenly Palace, descended onto the cloud shore, and countless tanks and cannons flattened Xingzhou... Zhou Jingming: Darling, do you like what you see? The pale man standing in the shadows was devastatingly handsome. A faint smile appeared on his usually icy face. "Whatever the Demon Queen loves, this lord loves." P.S. The three adopted princes of the Demon Palace aren't the Demon Lord's biological children. The Demon Lord has never married and is a thoroughly devoted career man. Theme: Don't urge others to be kind when you haven't suffered what they have
