I Became the Demon Lord and Raised the Tragic, Beautiful Male Lead

Shi Qingyuan transmigrated into a book.

In the novel The Ghost-Faced Immortal's Bones, the male lead, Fu Hong, has his immortal bones ripped out by the Demon Venerable as a child. After enduring countless hardships, he rises to power and ascends to the immortal realm.

By sheer coincidence, Shi Qingyuan transmigrated into the Demon Venerable, who had committed every imaginable atrocity.

System: The immortal bones have been removed. According to the plot, you're supposed to bite off a piece of the male lead's face.

Shi Qingyuan: Wait! Is something wrong with this menu?

System: If you don't maintain your character, you'll immediately go berserk, crawl around on the ground, and eat mud. You can choose which one to eat.

Shi Qingyuan, who didn't want to eat children or mud, fell silent.

Figuring he could just muddle through, he found Fu Hong, who had been reduced to a cripple, and gave his cheek a little kiss.

The System was stunned: Huh? We just got past that plot point?

Everyone in the Demon Realm knew Fu Hong had been taken in by the Venerable.

Years later, Shi Qingyuan raised the soul-shattered male lead to adulthood, then faked his death to follow the plot.

Shi Qingyuan: System, the job's done! Let's go, let's go.

System: Alert... *&%... al... ert...

When he opened his eyes again, Shi Qingyuan found himself lying in the familiar Demon Palace. He turned over to get up and see what was going on, but someone pressed him back down. Turning his head, he met a pair of blood-red eyes filled with despair and madness.

"How could the Venerable just leave me behind?"

Fu Hong's voice was low and hoarse as his long, strong fingers settled over Shi Qingyuan's tailbone.

"I am willing to offer all my immortal bones to the Venerable."

I only ask that you stay by my side.

Fu Hong had been reborn countless times.

His initial joy had turned to deep despair as he found himself unable to change the endless cycle. On his last rebirth, he returned to his childhood.

That humiliating period of his life quietly changed. The red-robed Demon Venerable no longer tore a piece of flesh from his face like an evil spirit. Instead, he brushed the dust from his body. The spirit stones he'd once gone to great lengths to obtain one at a time were now piled beneath his bed. His unchangeable fate began to veer off course...

1. The author has very basic tastes. Expect old-school, late-in-life romance tropes and possibly some melodrama. I'm trying to write some () tension.
