Huo Yuci transmigrates into a xianxia novel as the least favored and most useless disciple of the endlessly popular female protagonist.

But this cannon-fodder character also covets her beloved, endlessly popular master, foolishly dreaming of reaching for the moon, and ultimately meets a gruesome end.

Huo Yuci takes one look at what cultivation path her master follows: the Path of Ruthlessness. Countless powerful cultivators have failed to win her over, and she was born to belong to the novel's other, true female lead.

Naturally, Huo Yuci grabs her spirit stones and runs overnight, getting as far away from her master as possible.

The strange thing is, she cannot get more than thirty li away from her master, Luo Lingxin. Otherwise, her whole body will be wracked with unbearable pain, and she'll explode and die.

But her master's admirers, including the king of the demon race, the lord of the demon realm, and the leader of the Hehuan Sect, all like to abduct her frail master in the novel.

Whenever her master is kidnapped, Huo Yuci gets dragged into trouble too.

After nearly dying a few times, Huo Yuci gets clever:

When the Demon King shows up, she impersonates the true female lead and confesses her love to her master in all sorts of ways, fooling the Demon King into leaving;

When the Demon Lord shows up, she shares a passionate kiss with her master behind a curtain, driving him away;

When the sect leader shows up, she puts on a convincing display of dual cultivation, making them flee.

In short, she keeps using tricks to protect her master and fend off her admirers.

Her master's gaze grows increasingly strange.

Huo Yuci thinks she can keep this up and stay alive, but then she's framed by a villain and thrown into a secret realm, where she can't live or die in peace.

With no other choice, Huo Yuci begins cultivating.

Then an eight-tailed fox suddenly appears and latches onto her.

The fox is aloof at first, but one night when the moon is waning, she suddenly transforms into a beautiful woman in Huo Yuci's arms and begs sweetly for help.

Huo Yuci: "..."

Once is all it takes to lead to countless more. By the time Huo Yuci finds a way out of the secret realm, she has survived by the skin of her teeth, only to discover that the eight-tailed fox is gone, leaving behind an unborn cub.

Huo Yuci: "...So I'm the poor sucker here."

She takes the cub outside and discovers that her frail master has grown eight tails. Her master is the fox who abandoned her wife and child!

At that moment, her usually cold and contemptuous master is talking to another true female lead, speaking softly and gently:

"I'm not in love with Huo Yuci. I was only using her to survive my tribulation."

"I've sealed the secret realm. She can only die in there."

"With that wretched child out of the way, you and I will surely be able to..."

Huo Yuci can't bear to listen any longer. Holding the cub, she laughs three times, and the mountains, rivers, sun, and moon change color. "Luo Lingxin, from this day forth, we are sworn enemies!"

[Bonus Scene]

"Aci, do you feel avenged?" Holding the life-bound sword that has pierced her heart, she asks Huo Yuci, now as cold as ice. She looks haggard and weak as she speaks. "Will you come back with me?"

Huo Yuci pushes the sword hilt deeper into her heart. Only when she sees her face turn completely pale does she smile. "Avenged? Go back?"

"Luo Lingxin, what I just did was pay you back in kind. The real show is only beginning."

·Yes, this is absolutely a groveling-for-forgiveness story, and it will definitely have a happy ending.

·Both female leads have different identities, with lots of foreshadowing.

·I'll do my best to write melodrama with a fresh twist.

·Thanks for supporting the official release and helping me afford a good meal, mua~

1. "Going Viral on a Dating Show with My Baby and My Yandere Actress O" (I'll keep refining the setting as I go)

Tong Zhuo was a promising newcomer in the entertainment industry, with a bright future ahead of her. But after being slandered and injured while filming, she wakes up to discover that she's an Alpha, a cannon-fodder supporting character in a novel, doomed to work hard only for someone else to reap the rewards.

Not only that, she's also the foil to the novel's endlessly popular supporting character, Mu Nanjia, her sworn enemy!

Facing a screen full of abuse, Tong Zhuo tosses her phone aside and gives up without a care: Thanks to my haters for giving me the chance to retire early!

She enjoys a happy, carefree life for six months, but one day, when she goes out, a little child clings to her and calls out in a babyish voice, "Mommy Zhuo~ Yueyue finally found you!"

Tong Zhuo: "???"

The child's full name is Tong Nianmu. She's three years old, and insists that she and Mu Nanjia are her mothers, and that the two of them are deeply in love.

Tong Zhuo: "???"

If this child really is hers and her nemesis Mu Nanjia's, then... then she hopes Mu Nanjia has to say "Mu Nanjia, I love you" a hundred times as punishment!

The little one claps like a seal. "A hundred times isn't enough. At least ten thousand!"

Tong Zhuo: "..."

Later, she's forced to bring the child onto a dating reality show, where Mu Nanjia is also a contestant. Mu Nanjia has just won a major award, becoming the youngest actress to win the industry's three top honors. She's got countless fans, and she and Tong Zhuo are still as incompatible as ever.

When choosing the other contestants, Tong Zhuo naturally keeps as far away from her as possible. She even forgets that her mission in the novel is to get rid of Mu Nanjia's awful suitors, and to aggressively pursue her and begin a doomed romance.

But the little one keeps subtly trying to bring them together, having the time of her life.

During a game of Truth or Dare, Tong Zhuo is asked what the craziest thing she's ever done is. Before she can answer, the child loudly says, "Mommy Zhuo had a crush on Mommy Mu for a long, long time. She wrote her... she wrote her 520 love letters! She even praises every single strand of her hair!"

Tong Zhuo: "??? I didn't! I never did that!"

Comments: "...You two were secretly dating?!"

Mu Nanjia gives Tong Zhuo a meaningful look.

One night, the little one throws a tantrum and insists that she'll only feel better if Tong Zhuo gets Mu Nanjia to kiss her. Tong Zhuo has no choice but to call Mu Nanjia over. Before she can leave, the child makes another demand: "I want Mommy Mu to kiss you first. Then you can kiss me, and I'll feel better~~"

Tong Zhuo: "...Are you asking for a spanking?"

Comments: "Is this how you three spice up family life?!"

Mu Nanjia actually follows the child's instructions and takes the initiative to kiss Tong Zhuo. The whole internet explodes!

Comments:

[Wait, are you for real, or is this scripted?!]

[Stealing the kid while everyone's distracted!]

[The child's inner monologue right now: The Make My Moms Royalty plan is working, teehee~]

As things spiral further out of control and rumors emerge that they're secretly married, Tong Zhuo decides she can't let this go on. She can only find Mu Nanjia and talk to her. "Clear this up. Everyone outside thinks we're secretly married."

Mu Nanjia: "You want to secretly marry me? Sure. You can marry into my family. I'll give you 500 million."

Tong Zhuo: "??? That's not... impossible. No, I mean..."

Mu Nanjia: "Think one child isn't enough? Want me to have another? I don't mind."

Tong Zhuo: "...I can't say anything anymore. Sob, sob." (Lies down peacefully)

*

Mu Nanjia has been reborn. In her previous life, she and Tong Zhuo missed each other because of one misunderstanding after another, and only got together in the final years of their lives. Tong Zhuo died tragically in her arms while saving her, leaving her consumed with regret.

Now that she's finally been given another chance, she carefully and quietly plots at every turn, stopping at nothing to keep Tong Zhuo by her side.

She knew she was already mad when, in her previous life, she shared a coffin with Tong Zhuo and was buried in the same grave, dying with her.

"Tong Zhuo, this time, I'll be the one who comes running to you."

·The child is their biological daughter.

·There are hidden reasons behind the transmigration and the rebirth. Read the story to find out.

·In their previous life, the two were a late-life romance. They missed most of their lives and only got together in their final years.

·So don't blame the gong for being a little crazy this time around ()

In the seventh year of her relationship with Li Yang, Zhu Chunyan is diagnosed with a hereditary terminal illness.

She wants to spend what remains of her life saying a proper goodbye, but perhaps it's the seven-year itch. Li Yang grows increasingly cold toward her.

One night, she gets off work early on purpose, planning to surprise Li Yang, only to see her meeting with her first love, whom she hasn't seen in a long time. Her face is bright with a radiant smile Zhu Chunyan hasn't seen in ages.

Like a flower on the verge of wilting, revived by a drink of fresh water.

"Oh, Zhu Chunyan? I regret it so much. She's just too boring. She never takes the initiative, no matter what, not even in bed..."

After hearing that, Zhu Chunyan lowers her eyes, desolate. She deletes all of Li Yang's contact information and quietly disappears from her life without saying goodbye.

She thinks she should spend the rest of her life living for herself.

They meet again at the hospital. The weather is lovely that day, and Zhu Chunyan is feeling a little better. She's happily chatting with the girl in the next bed. They both bend to pick up the same thing from the floor and accidentally bump heads, their closeness unmistakable.

After that, Li Yang tears into her: "Zhu Chunyan, do you have any idea how hard I've looked for you? Is this how you repay me? Flirting with someone else right in front of me? Cheating on me?"

It's Li Yang.

Watching her, so worked up, Zhu Chunyan realizes that the woman really has lost a lot of weight since they last met. Her eyes are red and wet, and she's full of life. There's no need to explain anything to her.

They're already over, aren't they?

Zhu Chunyan disappears again, and this time Li Yang won't find her.

*

Li Yang feels like she's going crazy. She's nearly gone crazy looking for Zhu Chunyan.

Today is the 99th day since Zhu Chunyan disappeared for the second time, and the eighth anniversary of their relationship.

But she still can't find her.

She regrets it so much. After arguing with Zhu Chunyan at the hospital that day, she went home and woke from a dream in the middle of the night. Only then did she remember that Zhu Chunyan had been wearing a hospital gown and a knitted cap, her body nearly all skin and bones, frighteningly thin.

Zhu Chunyan must be sick, seriously sick, and Li Yang had yelled at her and misunderstood her like that.

She searches for her for a long time and finally finds her, but only in the last moments of her life.

Zhu Chunyan lounges in a wheelchair in the sun. When she sees Li Yang, she coldly tells her to leave, completely indifferent to her tears and sobs.

She says, "I really don't want to die in front of you."

"Zhu Chunyan, I won't let you die!"

"...It's too late."

This time, Li Yang truly regrets it. She wishes she could take it all back, but she can't turn back time.

·Cold on the outside, warm on the inside, an aloof and untouchable top (Zhu Chunyan) x a prodigal who turns over a new leaf, the secretly-in-love bottom (Li Yang)
