[Strong Female Lead x Kept Man]
Take a look. This is a Buddhist temple, and this man is called Shen Buzhi. He wears a string of Buddhist prayer beads around his wrist and was once the male lead of a novel about a Buddhist scion from the capital and a beauty.
Take a look at the Buddhist cultivator beside him. He used to be the male lead of one of those novels, too.
In short, all the male leads from capital-circle Buddhist scion and beauty novels have transmigrated.
Now they're debating who the real Buddhist scion is.
One aloof man stood up and cleared his throat before saying, "I'm the male lead written by a great author, the representative of Buddhist scions."
Another man scoffed and lightly tapped the table with his fingers. "But surely you've read the reader warnings. You know what the readers think of you."
Yet another stood up and brushed some nonexistent dust from his kasaya. "I'm the male lead of the very first capital-circle Buddhist scion novel."
The argument grew more heated. Before things could get even more chaotic, Shen Buzhi fled.
What could he do? His character had completely fallen apart over the course of 580,000 words. He'd been robbed of a kidney on the road, cried over a child, lost his memory, and only cleared up the misunderstandings and brought everyone together at the very end.
His author had only wanted to ride the trend, and his personality in the novel had nothing to do with an aloof Buddhist scion from the capital. Sitting with these people, Shen Buzhi felt like a husky that had wandered into a wolf pack. What chance did he have?
Fortunately, he met his savior: a senior sister from a cultivation sect.
--
Gu Yan, a genius senior sister from the Sword Pavilion, came across a pitiful young Buddhist cultivator during her travels. Even an ordinary little monster could leave him covered in mud and filthy from head to toe.
On top of that, an elder told her that her killing intent was too strong, so she brought the young Buddhist cultivator along with her.
Their journey was no different from before, except now they had a little follower. Whenever Gu Yan finished slaying a monster, someone would immediately wipe her sword clean.
Until one day, after Gu Yan slew a demonic cultivator, she watched the young Buddhist cultivator run toward her. Before he could wipe her sword, she finally couldn't hold back: "Can't you see how much blood is on my face?"
Could he wipe her face for a change?!
