The Player Doesn't Want to Follow the Bad Ending Route Again

[Completed] Shi Zhaoyan transmigrated into a game. Mission: Achieve the TE ending with Yan Qingxi. Reward for success: unknown. Penalty for failure: death. Yan Qingxi, the designated next sect leader of the Chaomu Sect, was clad in white, aloof and proud, like the bright moon in the sky, beautiful but out of reach. He was Shi Zhaoyan's destined fictional wife. Shi Zhaoyan, who had already gotten the BE ending four times: Now that I've entered the game, I'll definitely succeed this time. Heard Yan Qingxi had made a mistake in his cultivation? Shi Zhaoyan: "I just found a new medicinal herb. I'll go learn alchemy right away." Heard Yan Qingxi's sword had broken? Shi Zhaoyan: "Out with the old, in with the new. I'll find Senior Brother a better one." Heard Yan Qingxi had been injured by someone? Shi Zhaoyan: "Who? I'll beat him up!" Shi Zhaoyan succeeded in taking revenge, but returned injured himself. Yan Qingxi bandaged his wounds. Meeting Shi Zhaoyan's hopeful, praise-seeking gaze, he quietly looked away, seeming unmoved, his voice as cool as ever. "Your life matters more than this." Thanks to Shi Zhaoyan's efforts, the culprit behind the previous BE routes was on the verge of defeat, and Yan Qingxi would never have to suffer the same fate again. But just then, the truth about the game came out, and Yan Qingxi misunderstood, thinking Shi Zhaoyan was going to leave. The faint smile in his eyes vanished, replaced by a chill. Yan Qingxi narrowed his eyes, concealing the surging emotions within. "So it was just a game?" His voice was icy as he stroked the bound wrist of Shi Zhaoyan. "I wasn't reborn so many times just to let you leave." The player pondered: Does this count as the same kind of BE ending as before? He wasn't going down the BE route. Unless it was a BE ending in another sense. A protagonist-like top in appearance, but hopelessly love-struck in reality x a seemingly aloof bottom who has turned dark after being reborn four times Note: 1. The TE route means true ending. 2. The top grows stronger over time. He's weak at first, but becomes more powerful later, and even more hopelessly love-struck (not really). 3. Not a leveling story. Cultivation stages: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul. 4. They pursue each other in both directions and dote on each other. Extreme fans of either character, please stay away. Coming soon: "Heard You're Into Fictional Characters?"

He's my wife." His alarmed family sent him on a blind date. By an incredible coincidence, his date was the senior he'd secretly admired, who had gone abroad years ago, and was also the model for his character. "Junior, I heard I look a lot like your favorite fictional character. What did you think of me when we first met?" "..." Thanks for asking. Even the most dignified person can die of embarrassment. Story Two: A socially anxious author top x a troublemaking bottom The author's head was pounding. The protagonist of his very first novel had somehow walked right out of the book. He admitted this was his favorite among all the protagonists he'd ever written, but he didn't want anyone disrupting his routine. He wanted to ask, When are you going back? But the young man lounging on the sofa just grinned shamelessly. "Tsk, since you created me, shouldn't you take responsibility?" Story Three: A slacker top x a workaholic bottom A corporate drone stared at the otome game he'd just fallen in love with, then resolutely uninstalled it. His new favorite character had a real-life model, and that model was his boss. Unforgivable. A wife could be made of paper, or even pure cotton... but she absolutely couldn't be a carbon-based life-form in the real world, and especially not his boss! "Do you really not like me?" His usually cool eyes revealed a hint of disappointment. "..." Don't waver! This has to be a capitalist's ploy to make me work nine-nine-six! Story Four: A fake delinquent, genuinely innocent top x a sweet-on-the-outside, dark-on-the-inside sea demon bottom A retired esports player looked at the new character he'd controlled with his keyboard. The feel, the skills... He was moved to tears, wishing they'd met while he was still playing professionally. Overcome with excitement, he declared on the spot that this was his new wife. But the very next moment, in the restroom, he came face to face with a pair of sea-blue eyes. "I heard you summoned me, which is why I appeared here. You want me to... be your wife?" "..." No, I didn't. I was just talking big. Note: The bottom may not be a fictional character. They may be the real-life model for one. A fluffy, illogical collection of short stories.
