How to Save Yourself After Becoming a Cultivation Sect's Cauldron

Rong Zhao accidentally transmigrated into a xianxia cultivation novel set in the world of danmei erotica.

The good news was that he was a protagonist, living in an immortal sect with abundant spiritual energy and plentiful resources.

The bad news was that his constitution was special. He couldn't retain spiritual energy, and he was a top-grade cultivation furnace coveted by everyone. He had no way to protect himself, and everyone lusted after him.

*

His master was a lofty beauty who strictly observed the rules, but had never treated Rong Zhao as his disciple. He only taught him dual cultivation, so his future Daoist partner could drain his essence.

His senior brother was as free as willow branches by the river, but made an exception for him. Whenever he saw Rong Zhao, he acted as if he were a monster, and turned a blind eye when others bullied him.

His junior brother was born into wealth and was arrogant in his youth. He saw Rong Zhao as a seductress and hurled insults at him whenever they met, wishing he could trample him into the mud.

His senior sister was noble and untouchable, but regarded him as nothing more than a plaything, not even worthy of being one of her attendants.

Every day, Rong Zhao lived on tenterhooks, terrified. He was a cultivation furnace, the protagonist of an erotic novel, and this was a bad-ending revenge novel. In the future, not only would this group of people from the immortal sect use him however they pleased, but outsiders would abuse him too. In the end, he would give up on life. Although they would all later suffer their comeuppance, wishing they could dig up even his bones, Rong Zhao would still meet his end with his body and spirit destroyed.

Rong Zhao, who had transmigrated into the story: Thanks, but my head's screwed on straight, and I'm not exactly eager to die.

Rong Zhao couldn't retain spiritual energy, couldn't practice swordsmanship, and couldn't level up. He couldn't manage on his own, so he had to find someone powerful enough to take all these people down. In the end, he chose the demon dragon who had been imprisoned beneath the Cold Pool by the Lingxiao Sect for hundreds of years.

Risk and opportunity always go hand in hand, and he also knew where the demon dragon Yan Mingshu's weakness lay.

Rong Zhao didn't believe in fate and was willing to take a gamble.

*

Everyone was guessing who Rong Zhao would become Daoist partners with after the Lingxiao Sect had poured gold, jade, and every other resource into him. But the night before they were to negotiate his marriage, an unexpected turn of events occurred.

Rong Zhao ran off with the great demon cultivator imprisoned by the immortal sect!

*

Yan Mingshu had just escaped from the great formation, covered in blood. Enduring the pain, he carefully gathered Rong Zhao in his arms and gently touched his forehead to Rong Zhao's. He asked curiously, "Do you get cold?"

Rong Zhao gazed at his mountain-sized body, trembling with fear, and managed a tight-lipped, "I'm all right."

The giant dragon sighed, instantly transformed into human form, and wrapped an arm around Rong Zhao's waist. He kissed his neck with longing. "Then after we become Daoist partners, let's go to Zhongzhou, all right? It's spring there all year round."

Rong Zhao: "..."

Rong Zhao accomplished plenty of great things over the years, but the biggest was tricking a demon dragon who had been imprisoned for so long that he was as innocent as a child.
