Xiao Wan transmigrates into an ongoing power-fantasy novel, becoming a second-generation immortal cultivator destined to be hunted by the protagonist for three chapters.
At the start of the story, he clashes with the protagonist. The protagonist kills all his guards, then deliberately lets him escape.
The second-generation cultivator begs his ancestor for help. The protagonist follows him there and wipes out his entire clan.
The second-generation cultivator flees to a sect. The protagonist sneaks in and slaughters everyone on the mountain overnight.
While reading: The protagonist's personality is so satisfying. Decisive and ruthless. I like him!
After transmigrating: What kind of murderous scum is this?!
The good news is that after transmigrating, Xiao Wan is bound to a Cannon Fodder Leveling System. As long as he keeps his head down, he can get more page time.
So he sharpens his knife and points it at the protagonist: I'll deliver justice on heaven's behalf and kill you. I'll be the protagonist now!
The Jishan Sect is suppressing a thousand-year-old evil ghost. Relying on his knowledge of the future plot, Xiao Wan uses the ghost's golden core as bait, hoping to provoke a fight between two powerful enemies.
But through one careless mistake, the chosen one sees through his plan.
To save his own life, he has to grit his teeth and pretend to let the ghost possess him, throwing himself into the protagonist's arms.
The protagonist expressionlessly kicks him away. "Trying to die?"
Xiao Wan answers boldly, "Trying to get laid."
The protagonist: "?"
Xiao Wan sulks miserably: ...If I can't be the protagonist, then being one of two male leads works too.

The chosen one is cautious, decisive, and ruthless, and hates trouble more than anything.
Recently, he's run into a problem.
That second-generation immortal cultivator he's hunted countless times has suddenly become possessed by a ghost. His gaze is clingy, his words are frivolous, and he's even acting deranged, trying to crawl into his arms.
Killing him would bring a curse, but not killing him is infuriating.
To attain immortality, he has no choice but to play along, waiting for his chance to kill Xiao Wan, seize his treasure, and advance toward eternal life.
Finally, one day, the chosen one can't take it anymore. He presses his sword to Xiao Wan's neck. "What exactly are you trying to do?"
Xiao Wan tips up his head and beams. "I want you to f*** me... or maybe I want to f*** you."
The chosen one snorts. "You've got some nerve!"
That night, Xiao Wan's buttocks were left in bloom, and his howls echoed like a tiger's roar and a dragon's cry.

The day the truth comes out, Xiao Wan stands beneath a sword, his heart in despair. "Just kill me."
The chosen one's gaze turns dark. "You toyed with me like this. Why would you think I'd let you off so easily?"
"..."
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lie to you. I just..."
"Have you ever said a single sincere thing in your life?!"
This is Xiao Wan's favorite novel, and its protagonist is the person he admires most. He once thought that if he could just survive, he might come to love this world too.
But--
"I just want to go home. Kill me."
"Please."
That night, the chosen one, who had devoted himself to attaining immortality, broke the ladder to heaven and leaped into an unfathomable abyss, carrying the legendary furnace cauldron with him. Together, they plunged into the abyss of death.
He let out a long cry. "Fine. I promise!"
Don't worry, it's a happy ending.
