Driving the Romance Novel's Hero Crazy

Going VIP on Saturday. Next up: Playing It Cool in an Old-School Master-Disciple Novel, with the master as the top. His parents divorced, and that very night they packed their bags and went their separate ways. Desperate to save her broken family, Meng Li chased his mother for three blocks, only to get hit by a car and die. To return to his original world and stop his parents from divorcing, Meng Li resolutely accepted the mission assigned by the System. His task was to win over the male lead of a romance novel called The Way of Goodness. The male lead in the book had a tragic past. His mother died when he was young, and his father abandoned him. Later, a Taoist priest from Baiyun Temple took him in, named him Chang Heng, and taught him with great care. Chang Heng was exceptionally clever, highly skilled in Taoist arts, and compassionate toward all living things. The local people revered him. Meng Li, meanwhile, transmigrated into the book as a nine-tailed fox. After surviving several life-and-death ordeals, their feelings for each other gradually deepened. To win Chang Heng’s favor, Meng Li reluctantly parted with a treasured possession and gave him a short sword as a token of their love. But later, that very sword was driven into Meng Li’s throat, and every inch of his fox fur was stripped away. Chang Heng hated fox demons more than anything. His own father had once been bewitched by a fox demon. When Chang Heng was six, his father had doted on his concubine and turned against his wife. Right in front of Chang Heng, his father ran a sword through his pregnant wife, splashing Chang Heng’s face with her hot blood. He even ordered his men to break Chang Heng’s legs and dump him in a mass grave, leaving him to fend for himself. The poor child dragged his mangled legs and crawled out of the mass grave. He swore to rid the world of every evil spirit. But later, he fell in love with a fox demon. And at the moment they loved each other most, he killed him with his own hands. Afterward, Chang Heng went mad. He stopped everyone he met and asked, “Do you know A Li? He’s a very beautiful little fox… He’s my fox.” Please add Playing It Cool in an Old-School Master-Disciple Novel to your collection. Cool, aloof master from the righteous path, top x easygoing, optimistic, carefree bottom Wei Qingtan transmigrated into an old-school melodramatic master-disciple novel called Master, Love Me One More Time. He became a tool character whose job was to fuel the master-disciple relationship, or rather, stir up trouble and create conflict. In the book, the wicked disciple Lu Beichen was madly in love with his master, Cang Yunqiu. When his love went unrequited, he turned to evil and locked Cang Yunqiu away, doing unspeakable things to him for more than two hundred chapters. Wei Qingtan had nothing but good looks. He became the white lotus caught between master and disciple, provoking both sides. In the end, his schemes were exposed, and he died without a complete corpse. After transmigrating into the book, Wei Qingtan wept rivers of tears and resolved to live out the rest of his life as an unambitious salted fish, fighting for nothing. Lu Beichen was the orphaned heir of the demon clan. He had been gloomy and obsessive since childhood, and flew into a rage at the slightest disagreement. When trouble erupted, even a salted fish got dragged into it. To stay alive, Wei Qingtan had no choice but to become Senior Brother Lu’s scheming adviser. Little by little, he talked Lu Beichen around, and Senior Brother Lu’s emotions gradually stabilized. But later, Wei Qingtan was caught red-handed sneaking away his master’s prayer beads. Facing Senior Brother Lu’s cold, gloomy stare, Wei Qingtan panicked and let out a terrified squeal: “Senior Brother, no, listen to my excuse! I didn’t steal anything from Master. I’ve been framed!” Senior Brother: “You dared to covet Master. You deserve to die a thousand deaths!” “No, no, no! I don’t like Master! The person I actually like is you!” Senior Brother: “Oh?” Wei Qingtan burst into tears. “I only love Master because I love you! But I know you don’t like me, so I was planning to shut my heart away and spend the rest of my life by a lamp and a Buddha…” Before he could finish, Senior Brother cut him off. “I never imagined you were secretly harboring feelings for me! Well, since we’re fellow disciples, let’s go ask Master to bless our union.” Wei Qingtan: ? Wait, say that again. Who are we asking to bless our union??? Are you seriously using me to make Master jealous??? Cang Yunqiu sat in a high seat, dressed in white robes. He looked down at the two disciples kneeling in the great hall and asking for his blessing, his gaze dark. When his eyes fell on his little disciple, who had curled up like a quail, he let out a cold laugh: He wanted to know which little rascal had sneaked into his room in the middle of the night, burrowed into his arms without a word, and kissed him! The boy had even promised to give Master a baby! How dare he ask for Master’s blessing? Theme: Even if you transmigrate into a cannon-fodder role, you can still take control of your own fate
