The Entire Cultivation World Is Holding a Funeral for Me

Shen Ning transmigrated into a book, becoming a sickly substitute who wouldn't survive three chapters, a lowly cultivation cauldron whom anyone could bully.

According to the plot, several male leads would toy with him as they pleased. Unable to have their beloved Xie Cangxing, they would take out their darkest desires on Shen Ning.

None of them loved him. The Immortal Venerable treated him as a source of comfort, the Demon Venerable used him as a plaything, the Sword Venerable scorned him for trying to imitate someone far beyond his reach, the Demon King accused him of usurping another's place, and the Medicine Venerable mocked him for being a poor imitation.

Shen Ning remained perfectly calm 😐: Fine.

Only when pain made it impossible to endure the nights would the System tell him fantastical tales from another world in his mind, its voice gentle and low, sometimes tinged with laughter.

Shen Ning thought the System was a wonderful partner.

Later, Xie Cangxing, the beloved who had died, came back to life. Shen Ning had accomplished his mission and planned to quietly exit the story.

He couldn't leave.

That beloved, so radiant and pure, so holy and compassionate, descended from his altar step by step before the eyes of everyone, and came straight to Shen Ning.

In a voice exactly like the System's, full of laughter, he asked:

"You're throwing me away after only two years?"

"Those hands that touched you. Should I help you chop them off, one by one?"

Later still

The Immortal Venerable gave up a thousand years of cultivation and knelt until the mountain gate was shattered, begging Shen Ning to turn back.

The Demon Venerable cut out his burning demonic heart and laid it at Shen Ning's feet.

The Sword Venerable broke his life-bound sword, then silently stood guard like a stone statue gazing out for his wife.

Those who had once humiliated Shen Ning searched for him like mad, loving him and hating him.

And Xie Cangxing himself, the beloved, wrapped his arms around Shen Ning from behind as everyone watched in a frenzy. He kissed the back of Shen Ning's neck, scraping his teeth against it, then smiled provocatively.

#Is it right for the beloved to fall for his own substitute?#

#While the whole cultivation world is making amends, the beloved is stealing him away#

*Trying to make this a reverse harem

*Some master-disciple age-gap romance, with a flirtatious top and an adorable bottom (maybe?)

*My tastes are getting weirder and weirder. Surely that's not my fault.

Theme: Love can overcome any obstacle. Only the brave can have it all, so cherish the person in front of you.
