Shen Qinghuan was a well-rounded college student in the twenty-first century. He confiscated a third-rate novel that his tutoring student kept sneaking peeks at during lessons, and the next day, when he opened his eyes, he'd transmigrated.
Mm, he'd transmigrated into the Hehuan Sect's ancestor, who shared his name.
Since they had the same name, Shen Qinghuan took a rough look at Venerable Yuqing's storyline. He couldn't remember the little details, but he did know that this man's lovers were scattered across the entire cultivation world.
The Dao Sect's grand-uncle, the Sword Sect's leader, the demon clan's great elder... Anyone you could name was a major figure.
The good news was that all of this had happened before the original owner went into seclusion. The bad news was that as soon as the original owner came out, he hooked up with a new lover: Chu Wuzhi, the newly appointed Demon Venerable.
Shen Qinghuan now had a complete mess of new lovers and old flames to deal with. The most troubling part was the original owner's dual cultivation technique. If he wanted to break up with his new lover, a flaw in the technique would make him literally burn to death in the fires of desire.
In the original novel, Venerable Yuqing was little more than a background character, with few mentions. So every day, Shen Qinghuan racked his brains to maintain the character, afraid of getting exposed.
But plans never keep up with changes. During a grand gathering of the Daoist sects, one old flame after another showed up at Shen Qinghuan's door.
"Yuqing truly loves me. We'll send you an invitation to our bonding ceremony someday."
"Nonsense! Qingqing clearly loves me most!"
"Qinghuan swore an oath of eternal love with me, and we even have a token of our affection. You'd better leave while you still can."
Shen Qinghuan was completely numb with disbelief. He couldn't handle this kind of harem reunion with all the lovers meeting face-to-face.
In the middle of the argument, Shen Qinghuan keenly sensed that his 'new lover' was nearby, and from the looks of it, he was definitely here to find him.
"Hold on. Chu Wuzhi is right outside. Shouldn't you hide for a bit?"
"…"
With people in the room, Shen Qinghuan felt extremely guilty. Just as it looked like they couldn't keep hiding, inspiration struck.
"Why don't we act out a scene from a storybook today?"
"Hmm?"
Seeing that the other party was interested, Shen Qinghuan continued, "I'll be a rogue cultivator in danger in a secret realm, and you'll be a demonic cultivator under an illusion spell."
As Chu Wuzhi approached, Shen Qinghuan pointed at the old flames hiding nearby. "Then a group of righteous Daoist heroes rushes in to help."
The Dao Sect's grand-uncle, the Sword Sect's leader, and the demon clan's great elder: "Demonic cultivator, don't take advantage of someone in danger!"
"Hehe, what do you think of this storybook plot?" Shen Qinghuan asked, blinking at Chu Wuzhi.
Chu Wuzhi: I think there's someone else on my lover's mind.
*A silly, sweet story.
