Shh, Keep This Travel Guide Safe [Infinite]

[Main story complete! Extras updating slowly] My new novel, Crematorium, But I'll Whitewash My Reputation [Quick Transmigration], is now serializing! If you're interested, feel free to add it to your collection and check it out. It's a sweet-and-sour, melodramatic crematorium story with a male protagonist who loves men~ [Welcome to Zibuyu National Park!] Deep beneath the desert sands, a strange underground river churns with hidden currents and schemes. In the fog-shrouded corpse lake of Xiangdian, hanging coffins conceal terrifying folk customs long buried in slumber. Strange creatures run rampant all along the way: red fox drowned corpses, bridal sedan-chair demons, corpse-eating macaques, and deformed shadow people... Every visitor is terrified, and they all tell Miao Yunlou the same thing: only by worshipping the park's gods can anyone make it out alive. Miao Yunlou, who had stumbled in after dying: “...” As someone who pays party dues every month, he's not particularly keen on kneeling. [3A Scenic Area: Forest and Snowfield Zone] Inside the Ghost Banquet Cave, the eerie Xuannü sprouts three pairs of stone arms from her back. With a seductive smile, she says, “Human, bow before me, or I will summon ten thousand gods and Buddhas to tear you to pieces.” Miao Yunlou ponders for a moment, rummages in his pockets, and pulls out a pile of shabby brushes and white paper given to him by the System. In an instant, the gods and Buddhas who had been glaring furiously moments ago are swept away like paper scraps as the folk opera performers sing and chant. All that remain are two little paper figures Miao Yunlou has folded. They chatter excitedly and hold up their handkerchiefs, looking pitiful as they wait for praise. Seeing this, Miao Yunlou hurriedly applauds, then turns angrily toward the livestream camera to explain: “See that? Now those are artists of the people.” Xuannü: “...” The viewers watching the livestream: “...” [3A Scenic Area: Submerged Waves Zone] The endless blue-black river surges and roils. The Dragon King rises from beneath the Yinjiang Dam. He demands that visitors search Tongying Long Street for virgin boys and girls to sacrifice, offering their flesh and blood to appease him and end a three-year drought. Only then will he briefly calm his rage and send down a meager drizzle. Miao Yunlou: “...” Miao Yunlou: “The Jing River Dragon King in Journey to the West was executed just for being a little late with the rain. Who are you to act so high and mighty?” The viewers sneer at his words. “Heh. He's asking for it again.” Could he really stand up to a flood as an ordinary human? Sure enough, the Dragon King is enraged. Thunder rumbles above the black clouds as he stirs the roiling waters of the Yinjiang River, ready to flood Tongying Long Street and drown this audacious mortal, too. With the flood about to arrive, Miao Yunlou shows not the slightest fear. He raises an eyebrow, looks toward the mighty Yinjiang waters, and pats a stone sculpture he carved earlier. “Have you seen an artist of the people? Well, have you ever seen Dujiangyan, a water-control project built by the people?” The Forty-Eight Villages, shrouded in miasma and devoted to choosing and worshipping a god, become Miao Yunlou's ideal place to promote education in remote mountain regions. He urges the villagers to get rich by building roads first, and to cut down the mountains like Yugong. In an old Tibetan region littered with human-skin drums and leg-bone flutes, the noble Tsanpo and Tibetan gods are branded by Miao Yunlou as feudal landlords clinging to outdated ideas. The people's army, whose arrival he has long called for, liberates the region. After visiting several scenic areas, Miao Yunlou's incredible feats, punching gods in the southern mountains and kicking strange creatures in the northern pits, leave everyone completely stunned. Envy, fear, disgust, admiration... Countless emotions gather as thousands upon thousands of visitors gaze at his figure, their expressions complicated. The dim flame in their hearts, nearly extinguished, suddenly flickers: Perhaps ordinary people like them can also raise their eyes and look the gods straight in the face? Miao Yunlou smiles faintly. Standing on the head of a strange creature, he faces the lofty gods with reckless abandon. Paper-cutting arrays, Northeastern duet opera, magnificent Shu embroidery, Sichuan opera face-changing... Countless folk arts and intangible cultural heritage traditions from across the land are wielded with stunning skill in his hands, becoming weapons that terrify the strange creatures. What are gods, anyway? China has never needed idle gods. Since ancient times, Yu the Great controlled the floods and Hou Yi Shoots the Suns. If the people want something, they have to rely on themselves. Those who devote themselves wholeheartedly to the people may be honored with incense from a thousand households and elevated to the altar of worship. But gods who act with wanton abandon and prey on the people must have their stone forms smashed to pieces! Just as the visitors are fired up and raising the banner of revolution, Miao Yunlou is worrying over something else. He stares at the legendary collectibles he has gathered, along with their human fragments, his expression unusually strange. The face assembled from those pieces is cool and clear, captivating as an exiled immortal. It looks just like the face of the benefactor who once spent every day by his side, but has since died. ...Why does the assembled face look so familiar? 1. A younger bottom who is a smiling, black-hearted mischief-maker × an older, long-lived, aloof and beautiful top, as lofty and untouchable as a mountain flower 2. A folk-horror infinite-flow story. It draws on many Chinese landscapes and regions, but is set in a fictional world overall. 3. Content warning! The top does not split into multiple characters! The bottom is not loved by everyone! Although he's handsome, most people find his face incredibly punchable because he says things that infuriate them! 4. A guaranteed happy ending! A romance where both pursue each other Here's the divider before the upcoming novel's blurb~ Xie Rongguan transmigrates into a book as the insincere, vicious scum bottom who wears a righteous facade. The scum bottom is incompetent and has a terrible character, yet is lucky enough to be loved by the child of heaven. By clinging to him, he gets money, status, and everything he wants. Unfortunately, the scum bottom doesn't know how to treasure what he has. According to the original plot, the scum bottom tramples the child of heaven's sincere heart into the dirt, then suffers the consequences. The other man torments him in every way until he dies without a proper burial. The child of heaven's love is as fervent as his hatred. Unable to endure the torment, the scum bottoms one after another choose to abandon the plot. So Xie Rongguan is brought in to take the scum bottom's place and suffer the abuse. Afraid that this newcomer will run away too, the System warns him not to try any tricks. No matter what he does, he will never escape the child of heaven's grasp. Xie Rongguan merely smiles. Beneath his gorgeous, refined, and elegant face, a flash of dark, unhealthy obsession appears. Why would he leave? He's a madman skilled at manipulating other people's emotions and a brilliant actor. What a madman longs for most is to receive someone's wholehearted, unreserved love. Even if that passionate love has already turned into intense hatred.
