After Failing to Save the Villain, My Sickly Master

[Angsty death-faking, identity reveal, and shamelessly cheesy tropes. Logic has been eaten by a cat.]

Also sharing the next story, The Sickly Beauty Marries into the Family of a Cold-Blooded General. The blurb is at the very bottom.

Bai Yichi transmigrated into a xianxia novel as Xufeng, the male lead's cannon-fodder master.

In the original story, Xufeng was left frail and sickly after saving the world. After serving as an experience-point dispenser for the protagonist, he was sliced up like a fish by the villainous Demon Lord Xuanyu.

His mission was to reform Xuanyu, who had the bloodline of a Chaos Tiger.

In his childhood form, the Demon Lord was a little tiger. Bai Yichi was a super-fan of fluffy things, so he stroked him once and immediately switched sides, taking Xuanyu as his disciple and deciding to give him a good education (pet him).

Everything went smoothly, if only he hadn't discovered that his big, fluffy cat was actually reborn and had already turned evil.

Bai Yichi: Uh-oh. Not a big kitty, but a man-eating tiger.

The kitty turned evil and was on the verge of death. The System also warned him that his transmigration time was almost up. Seeing the villain badly injured and in danger, Bai Yichi suddenly remembered the little tiger who had once been hurt. He steeled himself.

The white-robed immortal Venerable went against the flow of the crowd, plunged into darkness, and gathered the lone villain in his arms.

He died before Xuanyu's eyes to save him.

He never saw the Demon Lord behind him, who clutched his corpse like a madman, hoarsely calling his name and kneeling like a withered tree for a hundred days, while no one dared approach.

When the Book Transmigration Bureau pulled Bai Yichi back to work overtime because his mission had gone wrong, he was desperate.

In the Demon Palace's bedchamber, Bai Yichi struggled to escape, but someone grabbed his ankle and yanked him back. "You bastard! You... you're betraying your master!"

The Demon Lord, feared by both the immortal and demon realms, smiled obediently and asked in a soft voice, "Master, where are you trying to run this time?"

Only then did Bai Yichi realize that although things hadn't gone according to plan, he had ultimately been thoroughly devoured by the big kitty.

An obsessive, scheming big-kitty Demon Lord gong x a goofy, optimistic working-stiff immortal Venerable shou

Xuanyu x Bai Yichi 1v1, first love, happy ending

Cuddles!

A preview of a future story

The Sickly Beauty Marries into the Family of a Cold-Blooded General

Gu Yinqing was born into a family of military officials. After a serious illness in childhood left him unable to practice martial arts, his family mocked and belittled him for years, and wouldn't even buy expensive medicinal ingredients to help him recover.

As a result, he remained frail and thin, with a persistent cough and pale, slender wrists that looked as if they would snap if grasped.

Just as he thought he had finally found a way out after passing the spring examinations, he was forced to take someone else's place in marriage to the cold and arrogant General of the North.

Although He Wusheng was known far and wide as a God of War, he was violent and irritable, with countless souls on his hands. He despised sharp-tongued, frail scholars, and his greatest hobby, people said, was using live targets to practice his spearwork.

Recently, he had even rejected the emperor's arranged marriage in court, loudly declaring things like "freedom to love" and "no arranged marriages."

If Gu Yinqing married him, he was unlikely to enjoy a single good day.

On their wedding day, Gu Yinqing said, "Since the general doesn't wish to marry me either, I ask for nothing. I only ask that you grant me a letter of divorce when the time is right."

The other man replied coolly, "I had the same idea."

The wedding veil was lifted.

The handsome, clear-eyed general in front of him saw Gu Yinqing and immediately turned pale, his pupils trembling with shock.

Gu Yueqing's heart sank.

To his surprise, the general shouted softly at him, "Wifey!!"

Gu Yinqing: ?

He Wusheng: .

He Wusheng: "Ah, no, I mean, my wife!!"

Later, Gu Yinqing discovered that He Wusheng wasn't cold or violent at all, but easygoing and cheerful. He was just a little too clingy.

He Wusheng had a crush on a paper-doll character from a romance game with very little story content. After waiting years for the author to finally update the character's side story, he suddenly transmigrated.

He Wusheng: ...Damn it!

This world not only had no paper-doll character, but he was also surrounded by rivals and in danger of losing his life. And in the end, even his reputation as a devoted romantic was at risk.

Until...

Until he lifted the wedding veil and saw the person he had longed for, with hair like a waterfall of black silk, lifting his head slightly. At one glance, he fell straight into his heart.

Goofy gong who transmigrates into a book x gentle, patient shou

1v1, happy ending

A cheesy, goofy, bittersweet, fluffy little story. There are basically no other special settings, and if anything is a deal-breaker, it's probably already in the blurb.

Cuddles!

Theme: After enduring the worst, one can find a way out of the darkest hour.
