After Transmigrating into a Book, the Immortal Venerable Decided to Give Up

[Half Price in the App, Tap the Top-Right Corner to Buy This Novel] A lie-flat, give-up-on-everything Immortal Venerable bottom & an aspiring Great Demon Lord top who never quite makes it

First Version of the Blurb:

Xin Wuzui was an overworked office drone putting in 996 hours, and occasionally even 007. He got with the times and transmigrated into a book.

He ended up in the body of an Immortal Venerable from a powerful sect, someone with high status who was basically a leader. Most importantly, this Immortal Venerable had the exact same name as him.

Xin Wuzui marveled at their incredible fate.

The original novel didn't spend much time describing the Immortal Venerable. All he knew was that he was exceptionally disciplined, elegant, and aloof.

He meditated and cultivated every day at five in the morning, washed up and went to bed at midnight...

Xin Wuzui froze. Who could put up with that?!

Getting up at five in the morning and going to bed after midnight...

What a joke. Whoever wanted that kind of discipline could have it. He'd already transmigrated into a book, and he was even a leader's master now. Why not just lie flat and give up on everything?

Had he already forgotten what 996 and 007 were like before he transmigrated into the book?!

Without a shred of guilt, Xin Wuzui started lying flat and giving up on everything.

There was just one problem: the original novel had a villain, too. What was his name again...?

Oh! Right, he remembered. Mu Zixian.

That guy eventually became the Demon Venerable and killed this very Immortal Venerable...

Xin Wuzui couldn't put up with that. He just wanted to lie flat and give up on everything until he died of old age, not die young.

So, to save his own life, he decided to take in this child, who hadn't yet grown into a great villain, and teach him how to lie flat. That way, wouldn't he be able to live out his days in peace?

In short, it was a question of who would come out on top: Xin Wuzui, who wanted to lie flat and give up on everything, or Mu Zixian, who was determined to become a Great Demon Lord.

Second Version of the Blurb:

After working himself to death, Xin Wuzui followed the latest trend and transmigrated into a xianxia novel.

When he learned that a demon had run him through the heart with a sword in the original ending, he was completely dumbfounded.

He'd just kicked the bucket in the modern world. Was he really going to die all over again in a book?!

So he set out to change the plot and alter his fate.

He worked hard to be a good person and diligently tried to reform the demon.

But...

Something seemed to be going wrong with the plot.

Why was the demon looking at him more and more strangely?

A hundred years ago, Xin Wuzui had his spiritual root torn out while he was still alive. In return, a sword pierced his heart.

That sword became Mu Zixian's nightmare.

Xin Wuzui originally thought he had only transmigrated into a book, but later he realized...

He had been part of the story all along.

Happy ending.

Next Novel: [The Handsome Prince Actually Took Me?!]

Jiang Yuanshan is a spoiled, unruly rich second-generation heir with terrible martial arts skills but an imposing mouth. He is the bottom, convinced he's the top.

Xiao Shanqing is a beautiful prince with an androgynous appearance and formidable martial arts skills. He's a scheming green tea who loves to lie to his husband, and he's the top.

Jiang Yuanshan, the second-generation heir of the richest family in Jiangnan, has one legitimate older brother and no younger half-siblings. His parents are devoted to each other, and his older brother dotes on him, turning Jiang Yuanshan into the image of a spoiled, unruly rich kid.

But Jiang Yuanshan refuses to accept that label. He'd only visited a brothel a few extra times to listen to music and fought a few more cricket matches than most. He wasn't doing anything evil, and the courtesans at the brothel even called him a good person. So how had he become some unruly wastrel?

Then one day, he saw a peerlessly beautiful person on the street.

Hmm... Jiang Yuanshan would swear that in his twenty years of life, he'd never seen a girl so beautiful.

So Jiang Yuanshan flicked open his fan and went right up to her. "I'm Jiang Yuanshan of the Jiang family, the richest family in Jiangnan. May I ask your name, miss?"

The beauty gave him a sidelong glance. Just one look, and Jiang Yuanshan was lost.

The beauty, Xiao Shanqing, thought: Where did this idiot come from? Does he have eyes? Can't he tell men from women?

Later, Jiang Yuanshan clutched his sore backside and regretted everything, wishing he could slap himself twice. Why couldn't he help himself whenever he saw a beauty?

What the hell, this wasn't a girl?!
