While Exploring the Storyline, I Caught the Supporting Male Lead's Eye

My column is currently serializing a historical danmei novel: My Aloof Master Is Chasing Me Through Hell and Back. The blurb is at the end. Please add it to your collections, sweet readers. (Waving a handkerchief to tempt you~)

College student Tian Yuanyuan casually picked up a book from his cousin's desk and, to his dismay, transmigrated into it: an obscure danmei novel. The only thing he knew was its title, The Tyrant Prince's Tale of Chasing His Husband. He had no idea what happened in the story.

He transmigrated into the sickly Sheng Yueli. From the start, the story had him marrying the male lead, Prince Yu Zhou Zhaohe, who was also sickly, to bring him good luck. A System told him his mission was to explore at least 95% of the plot. He couldn't go home until he completed it, and if he died before finishing, he'd be trapped in an endless loop inside the book.

Tian Yuanyuan was on the verge of tears. He smacked his own hand in anger. That's what you get for being so nosy! That's what you get for being so nosy! That's what you get for being so nosy!

Why did you have to be curious and pick up that book?

To explore the plot, Tian Yuanyuan had no choice but to approach one of the key characters, the male supporting lead: Shen Xiu, who was arrogant, haughty, and flamboyantly made up.

In his first life, Tian Yuanyuan called out, "Xiu'er, Xiu'er, are you there?"

But only a couple of days later, he witnessed someone cheating and was framed for it, then died. At least he'd learned something before he kicked the bucket: beneath Shen Xiu's flamboyant makeup lay a stunning face and incredible martial arts skills.

Tian Yuanyuan: ...So this guy has two sides to him.

On his second loop, now knowing Shen Xiu was a skilled fighter, Tian Yuanyuan thought: I'm scared, but I still have to approach him...

Then he saw Shen Xiu kill people as easily as chopping tofu.

Tian Yuanyuan: I...

On his third loop, knowing Shen Xiu might kill him, Tian Yuanyuan thought: Staying alive comes first. Better keep my distance from this dangerous man...

But Shen Xiu chased him down to kill him.

Tian Yuanyuan: Sob, sob... I'm scared.

Later, the male lead and male supporting lead started looking at him in increasingly strange ways. Sensing danger, Tian Yuanyuan, who considered himself a straight as an arrow, was about to run when a certain male supporting lead, who had been pursuing him for ages, held a blue-green han dao to his face, his expression dark.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Tian Yuanyuan crouched down, clutching his head. "Bro, let's talk this out. Don't do anything rash. I admit I used to raise my voice at you a little..."

New novel: My Master Developed a Heart Demon Because of Me

Blurb: When Qu He was eight, he was fleeing and wandering with his father. Starving and exhausted, he came down with a high fever and nearly died.

As he drifted in and out of consciousness, he saw an immortal descend from the heavens and gently take his hand.

The immortal was strikingly beautiful, his expression aloof. Clad in immaculate white, he looked as if wrapped in a layer of snow and wind.

The immortal was willing to save him on one condition: Qu He had to follow him back to his sect, Jingmen Mountain Sect.

As an inner disciple of the sect's Immortal Venerable Zhisu, Qu He had only mediocre talent and cultivation. Even junior disciples who had joined the sect a year after him easily surpassed him.

The outer disciples resented that someone as ordinary as him received personal instruction from the widely admired and noble Immortal Venerable Zhisu.

His junior disciples in the inner sect were gifted and came from powerful families. They had nothing to say to a gloomy boy from a poor family like him.

His master was aloof and rarely smiled. Overshadowed by his junior disciples' talent, Qu He went unnoticed and became a nobody in Jingmen Mountain Sect.

One day, while out on an assignment, Qu He was ambushed and stranded in the mortal world.

Months passed, and he still hadn't returned to the sect. Yet his master and junior disciples never searched for him or asked where he was. It was as if he had never existed.

The night was deep, the long street bright, and lanterns scattered their colorful glow.

Qu He sat by a window upstairs, holding a cup of wine. He glanced down without thinking.

His body went rigid, and the cup nearly slipped from his hand.

Among the dazzling lanterns, someone who looked exactly like him stood close to his junior disciples, laughing merrily.

Everyone knew that Yin Shidao, the Immortal Venerable Zhisu of Jingmen Mountain Sect, was one of the greatest cultivators of the age, a genius who had appeared out of nowhere.

Few knew that this aloof, transcendent immortal had never overcome his emotional tribulation, and so had never ascended.

And nobody knew that after emerging from seclusion, Yin Shidao looked at his eldest disciple, Qu He, who had been captured as a demon despite never having earned his master's attention, and his heart, frozen and unmoving until then, developed a heart demon.

Hidden flames surged, and his mind was no longer pure.

Yin Shidao descended from the divine altar where he had imprisoned himself and dragged Qu He into his bedroom.

The bottom is adored by everyone.

He isn't the replacement. He's the one being replaced.
