Gossiping Through Tragic Romance, Calmly Going Insane

[I'm probably writing My Rival, the Immortal Venerable, Has Other Plans next. A pure-sugar historical danmei sweet treat is waiting in my author page!]

Su Xiangyun was once the dazzling young sect master of Star-Stacking Cliff, the brightest star in the entire immortal sect world. Then he fell into demonic cultivation, had his spiritual roots destroyed, and died a miserable death.

Mu Shiwei, the most admired disciple of the Immortal Alliance Leader, personally killed the demon child. With his nemesis defeated, he rose to power and got everything he wanted.

When Su Xiangyun opens his eyes again, he discovers he has been reborn as a dim-witted junior disciple in the sect.

Before he can even celebrate, he runs straight into the figure etched into his soul at the entrance to a secret realm.

Mu Shiwei's Void-Gazing Divine Eyes, said to see through all things, are coldly scrutinizing him.

They say he now commands the Immortal Alliance and holds great power. Su Xiangyun is terrified and immediately grins foolishly. "Hehe, Immortal Lord, you're so handsome!"

As long as he acts dumb enough, he can stay alive... right?

But things grow increasingly strange.

When he gets into trouble in the secret realm, Mu Shiwei appears out of nowhere to save him.

When his spiritual energy becomes unstable, Mu Shiwei personally transfers spiritual energy to him every three days, leaving him weak all over.

Even when he "stupidly" wrecks the venue for the immortal sect tournament, Mu Shiwei quietly pays for the damage and takes the punishment in his place.

An old friend from his previous life says gravely, "Be careful. Mu Shiwei is unfathomable. He must want something."

Su Xiangyun agrees completely and resolves to be even more cautious.

Until one day, he accidentally wanders into an illusion that reveals the deepest obsessions of the heart.

In the water mirror, there is no murderous intent or clash of blades.

Red waves surge as he watches the supposedly cold and heartless Mu Shiwei trap him on a brocade bed, his eyes bloodshot as he kisses the tears from the corners of Su Xiangyun's eyes again and again.

His voice is hoarse, saturated with an obsession he cannot relinquish:

"This time... you won't escape again."

Help! Why does the person who killed me in my past life want to... pursue me in this one?!

Below is the original synopsis...

Chu Zhaoxing, who has entered a dog-blooded novel from the flower market, is about to set a record for the fastest quick transmigration ever.

The moment he opens his eyes, a ghost in red is right in his face, and his life immediately starts counting down!

After receiving the original owner's memories, Chu Zhaoxing's vision goes black.

The good news: He's not the protagonist.

The bad news: He's part of the top-and-bottom play.

The abused bottom, brutalized in body and heart by a scumbag top, is his brother!

What's more, according to the plot, he will die a gruesome death in five minutes, becoming the first corpse to appear in the book.

Luckily, his gossip System has come along with him!

With death at his heels, Chu Zhaoxing rummages through the System's gossip archives. Grasping the vengeful ghost's hand, he pours out his heart: "Sis, no need to say more. I understand you!"

After one terrifying night, everyone is horrified to discover that the taciturn, withdrawn Chu Zhaoxing has changed!

He appears and disappears without a trace, always turning up everywhere. In this novel packed with every kind of criminal behavior, he has a gossip System at his fingertips and pulls off one outrageous stunt after another. He can take down drug-trafficking rings and report celebrities breaking the law, dancing along the edge of life and death and leaving every scumbag top in chaos.

Chu Zhaoxing (smiling): Who says gossip alone can't get someone killed?
