A male-oriented power fantasy author, Heiyi Zayu, has transmigrated into a book! And not just any book: it's his own novel, The Day I Awakened the Aurora Sword Intent After They Broke My Legs!
He is busy dreaming about being the male lead when a voice suddenly speaks in his mind.
Side Character Comeback System: Ding! Welcome to the Side Character Comeback System. You are now bound to the character Lian Chengzhi.
Heiyi Zayu: What?!!!
So who is this Lian Chengzhi? The biggest cannon fodder character in the entire book, and the main force behind the male lead's early suffering.
His illustrious deeds include competing with the male lead for someone's affection and secretly sabotaging him; breaking up a couple by beating the male lead's legs when he came to propose; spreading rumors that ruined the male lead's reputation, ultimately getting him expelled from his sect, and more...
As Heiyi Zayu counts all the sins this cannon fodder has committed, the voice speaks again.
Side Character Comeback System: Your mission is to change your character's fate, cling to the male lead, and rise to the pinnacle of life!
Heiyi Zayu: As if I need you to tell me! I've got to cling to him, or I'll die horribly!!!
To escape his tragic fate, Lian Chengzhi decides to buy secret manuals, cultivate diligently, do good deeds, and, while he's at it, curry favor with the male lead!
He gets straight to it. Relying on his status as the son of a wealthy family, Lian Chengzhi spends a fortune on a top-tier secret manual, planning to give it to the male lead.
But he forgets that the book's biggest villain, who dies an even more horrific death than he does, has had his eye on that manual for a long time.
Fan You: Kill the owner and take the goods.
Villain Redemption System: Ding! You need to be a good person now. Under no circumstances should you repeat your past mistakes.
Fan You: Bro, mind if I take a look at the good stuff in your bag? (smiles)
A hardworking but useless bottom who can't even fly a sword without the System X a villain who loves stirring up trouble but is forced to be a good person
Lian Chengzhi: What did you say my mission was?
Side Character Comeback System: Change your character's fate, cling to the male lead, and rise to the pinnacle of life!
Lian Chengzhi: Which part is the important one?
Side Character Comeback System: Change your character's fate!
Lian Chengzhi: Then it should be fine if I cling to the villain instead!
Immortal cultivation and martial arts come together. Every setting in this story is made up by the author.
This is not a power fantasy. The protagonists will have setbacks.
1v1. Not every kind of affection is romantic love.
