Don’t Fall in Love with a Qidian Protagonist

Ying Shi transmigrates into a male-led, leveling-up novel and becomes the male protagonist's first love, a junior sister from his sect.

In the original, the protagonist cuts through every obstacle, avenges himself, and rises to the heavens. His career takes off, and his love life is just as colorful.

Besides her, his childhood sweetheart and first love, there are plenty of other romance options in his harem: a cold senior sister, a seductive witch, a spoiled princess, and more.

The male lead accepts no one, but rejects no one either. All of them cling to him until the very end, because deep down, he wants to give every girl a home.

Ying Shi had been so furious reading the novel that her teeth ached. She never expected to transmigrate into it right at the start of the story, just as the original heroine brings the badly injured male lead back to their secluded room to care for him. The two are about to fall in love when...

The battle-worn male lead lies pale on the bed, gazing at her tenderly.

Ying Shi shudders, then abruptly splashes the medicine in her hand right into his face. Gritting her teeth, she snaps, "I hate men like you who can't keep it in your pants! And you have the nerve to bat your eyelashes at me!"

The male lead's lashes, wet with medicine, quiver. After a three-second silence, he suddenly smiles.

"...That felt great," he says hoarsely. "Could you do that again?"

"..." Ying Shi's expression turns grave.

The original never said the male lead was a masochist!

Fate cannot be defied.

By his third reincarnation, Shuang Jian had stopped struggling.

Invisible strings bound his every move. He met people he had no desire to see and said words that did not come from his heart.

Forced to follow a set storyline, he claimed every opportunity the "rules" wanted him to encounter. All he had to do was play the part of a good puppet.

That day was no different.

Exhausted, he waited for her to say, "Brother Shuang Jian, I made this medicine just for you. Hurry and drink it." Those were the words written in the story.

Instead, a bowl of medicine splashed across his face.

The girl standing against the light glared at him and pointed at his nose as she berated him.

He froze in shock. Then his heart began to pound wildly. He could not tell whether the feeling was excitement or joy.

Someone had appeared and cut the strings that bound him.

"...That felt great," he said hoarsely. "Could you do that again?"
