[Blurb 4, 2023.06.11] (The moon hangs high in the sky, and anyone who resents it is my enemy. That's the vibe I'm going for, haha!)
Bai Shuyue was killed by his senior disciple brother.
After being reborn, he met something that called itself the "System" and learned that the world he lived in was actually just a story. He was the doomed white moonlight in a scum gong and pathetic shou novel.
The senior disciple brother who had sworn over and over that he loved him in his previous life was the scum gong.
Bai Shuyue: Can I scatter his ashes to the winds?
System: I-I don't think you can. QAQ
The System told him that the scum gong was the child of the Heavenly Dao. His death in his previous life, for reasons unknown, had caused the world to collapse. Bai Shuyue had to be reborn and follow the story faithfully to repair the broken world.
Bai Shuyue: Ha.
The plot? Let whoever wants to follow it do so. What the hell does he care if a story world collapses?
The System tried to persuade him, gradually gave up, and eventually threw in the towel. Then it learned from the Supreme God that if Bai Shuyue refused to follow the plot, he could break his path and find love, replacing the pathetic shou in the romance plot with the scum gong and thus save the world.
Bai Shuyue still wouldn't give it the time of day.
He spent every day holed up on his peak, never leaving the mountain. Along the way, he accidentally found Mu Yuanshu, the villainous Demon Venerable, badly wounded and serving as someone else's substitute.
Bai Shuyue, a fastidious and pampered man, cleaned him up, treated his wounds, and threw him out. Before long, he came across the injured Mu Yuanshu again.
Bai Shuyue: ?
Since Mu Yuanshu did look a little like him, Bai Shuyue saved him once more... and then again.
Eventually, Bai Shuyue couldn't be bothered to throw him out anymore. He let Mu Yuanshu stay on the peak, where he insisted on repaying him. Mu Yuanshu knew his habits and preferences, and made him quite comfortable.
At first, he brought him tea and water. Then he took care of his clothes, food, and daily needs.
After that, he repaid him in bed.
One moonlit night, Mu Yuanshu gently circled Bai Shuyue's wrist, kissed his fingertips, and softly begged for his love.
"Immortal Venerable, let me be the one who breaks your path to enlightenment. Will you?"
Mu Yuanshu had a secret: he could hear Bai Shuyue speaking with a consciousness in his mind called the "System."
Then he learned that the world he lived in was merely a story, and that the beloved he regarded as a god, someone too sacred to be touched, was only the doomed white moonlight in that story.
That "System" was still trying to persuade his god to lower himself and curry favor with that scumbag.
Then he was determined to tell it that no mere "story" could decide how they lived their lives.
Cold and aloof, pampered beauty shou x calculating, scheming green-tea gong
[Reading Guide]
1. As is customary in the three realms, it's 1v1, and body and heart belong only to each other~
2. The shou follows the ruthless path. Before his path is broken, he is very cold and distant. In his previous life, he never had feelings for the scum gong either. (My take on the ruthless path: he cuts off worldly ties, not social interaction.)
3. He was used as a substitute only because the Demon Venerable was undergoing trials. The scum gong kept countless substitutes, and the gong only used him to learn the shou's habits. He was the one the scum gong had the least contact with, haha.
4. Please don't send writing advice or demand content warnings.

Title: The Amnesiac Heir Apparent Live-Streams His Gossip
One-line pitch: So... it turns out I'm the one everyone's gossiping about?!
Blurb:
Lin Zicheng opened his eyes and realized he had amnesia.
His elder brother, the head of the family, told him he'd slipped and fallen into a lake, hitting his head on a rock. He told him not to worry, to take it easy while he recovered, and to focus on his studies.
Lin Zicheng, carefree and obedient, did as he was told. At the academy, when he wasn't in class, he wandered around listening to the latest gossip over tea and snacks.
One day, he heard that one of the academy's teachers had a student he considered a kindred spirit. The next, he heard that a foreign prince visiting the capital had a savior there.
The day after that, he heard that a young prince had a sacred white moonlight in his heart. He also heard that the young prince next door had an ex-fiance who'd been through a passionate, love-hate relationship with him, only to end up being jilted.
Lin Zicheng: OoO
How exciting.
He became a little gossip-loving melon-eater, spending every day roaming from one juicy story to another.
Until gradually, he realized that all those kindred spirits, saviors, white moonlights, and ex-fiances...
Were all supposed to be him!?!?
Lin Zicheng: OAO
The melon in his hands dropped to the ground.
The person at the center of the gossip was me?!!!
Later, after the gossip came back around to him, Lin Zicheng also discovered that the people around him...
Were all secretly extraordinary!
His unremarkable desk mate was a princess. His mischievous childhood friend was a general's legitimate son who had served in the army. His classmate, whose handwriting looked like a dog's scratchings, was the capital's top scholar.
And the study companion who shared his home and meals... was the young prince rumored to have a passionate love-hate relationship with him, his former fiance???
Lin Zicheng: ...
Lin Zicheng: Is it too late for me to lose my memory again?
Carefree, sweet and silly shou x gentle, patient black-bellied gong
Theme: Break free of your constraints. You should be the one in control of your own life.
[Cat Claw] Claw! I haven't had a claw for a long time, so I said it felt like it was about to end, but as soon as I turned the page, I saw that the main text of the next chapter was finished, which was a bit sudden but not very unexpected. I still felt a bit complicated, and I couldn't bear to leave Xianzun and Mu Xiaoyuan, but everything was indeed solved, and the world would no longer be disturbed. The system was not destroyed, and it happened to save Xiaoxuehu's life. By the way, I can translate Xiaoxuehu's words, Xianzun The sequelae of Zun Po Dao's love affair have also been perfectly solved, and only one official Taoist couple is left. I can only hope that the extra chapter can show more daily life, and Xian Zun and Mu Xiaoyuan go out to travel. I also want to read the storybook based on Xian Zun and Mu Xiaoyuan that is circulated in the world of immortality (preferably 18R, let alone, someone must have written this and many people have read it), and will the identity of Demon Lord Mu Xiaoyuan be made public? After all, Mu Xiaoyuan's current identity requires him to suppress his cultivation, and he is afraid of exposing his identity. He wants Mu Xiaoyuan to travel around openly with the Immortal Lord, and occasionally punish villains.
[Spreading flowers][Spreading flowers] Finish spreading flowers!!! Although Mu Xiaoyuan, who is looking for the Immortal Lord, has had a hard time, he is full of hope and has hope for life. Moreover, the teenage Mu Xiaoyuan is really lively and has such rich inner dramas. By the way, does Mu Xiaoyuan's behavior have something to do with listening to so many stories in the story? 🧋 After Chinese Valentine's Day, Mid-Autumn Festival or Chinese New Year, if you can think of it, can you add a small extra story 🥺 🥺 or add it to the extra story? (I suddenly remembered, Dad, do you still owe me some extras that you haven't written 😏)
"Otherwise, I might have accidentally caused some unwarranted disaster that day." This is a big thorn in the side of the author~ "Which day", Mu Xiaoyuan had a lot of inner drama back then, haha
"He used vines to clear away most of the weeds" which really caught the author's eye~ "Most of the weeds", Mu Xiaoyuan found the location of the small wooden shed in the outer suburbs
"Omakihara has learned to stay for about a month and a half longer every time." This is a big bug for the author~ "Every once in a while", after Komakihara saved up money for half a year
"Using all the property that can be replaced with the things left by Bai Shuyue" is a big bug for the author ~ "It's all gone", Mu Xiaoyuan and Xianzun went to the small town
"Bai Shuyue stood alone in the painting class" gave the author a big bug ~ The second paragraph at the beginning of "Deck" 😂
[Cat Claw] Maki Xiaohara changed his name! When I mentioned earlier that the head brother should have someone to talk to, I thought of Xiao Wuyin, who is also a talkative person. Unexpectedly, the headmaster accepted him as his direct disciple, but wouldn't it be impossible to stop two talkative people together?! (I'm so envious of those who can't find topics. They will never be faced with the situation of not knowing what to say.)
"Now he is no longer as cold as before" This is a big bug for the author~ "Just like before", the Immortal Lord ran to God's place
"Every year, new disciples are recruited into the inner sect by virtue of their qualifications and abilities", which is a big bug for the author~ "Recruit", where the Immortal Master and the head brother were talking before the mission began.
