Mu Rong Ying transmigrated into a book and became a character in a male-lead-centered cultivation novel about rebirth and wish fulfillment...
A bit-part character.
As if becoming a bit-part character weren't bad enough, he was forced to bind himself to a garbage System called [How to Become a Golden Supporting Character].
Mu Rong Ying asked, "What does 'golden supporting character' mean?"
The System said, "You become the male lead's benefactor, enemy, matchmaker, and stepping stone."
Mu Rong Ying: "I *@/$&#..."
To finish his tasks ahead of schedule,
Mu Rong Ying threw himself into the work, putting in overtime and going above and beyond.
The System told Mu Rong Ying to help the male lead.
Mu Rong Ying went straight ahead and led the entire sect to revival! ☝️
In just one year, under Mu Rong Ying's leadership, Piaomiao had become the number one sect in the cultivation world again!
The System told Mu Rong Ying to hurt the male lead.
Mu Rong Ying went straight ahead and became the savior of the entire demon realm! ☝️
In just one year, neither the demon realm's curse nor the position of Demon Lord was any problem for him!
The System told Mu Rong Ying to become the male lead's love rival.
Mu Rong Ying went straight ahead and chatted and flirted with the original novel's heroines...
Whenever that happened, Mu Rong Ying saw the male lead's genuine, rare, sinister gaze, and knew he'd made progress on his task bar. 😏
At last, the System told Mu Rong Ying to become the male lead's stepping stone. Mu Rong Ying: "Okay."
During a trial, the male lead and a junior sect sister fell into danger. Mu Rong Ying could only save one of them, and without hesitation, he chose the latter.
The male lead looked at him, his face expressionless and his eyes so dark they seemed bottomless.
Mu Rong Ying sneered. "Don't bother looking. It won't help."
When the male lead returned, his face was pale and his red robes were soaked with blood.
He casually announced to the world that Mu Rong Ying had secretly colluded with the demon realm and was an irredeemable villain.
In an instant, the sinister protagonist became a saint, while Mu Rong Ying's true identity was exposed.
With no way out, Mu Rong Ying "took his own life" on the spot.
After all that, he saw that the golden supporting character completion rate still wasn't high enough, so he had to pull out one last big move.
He left a letter explaining that he had betrayed his master and committed every kind of terrible deed because he wanted to resurrect his beloved, who had died fighting the demon realm...
As for who his beloved was, don't ask.
Whether they were gods or demons, people always remembered the deaths of devoted, handsome supporting characters.
And so, with that one death, Mu Rong Ying became the white moonlight of all three realms.
When he opened his eyes again, ten years had passed.
As soon as he returned, Mu Rong Ying discovered that he had become the demon realm's Snape, and the cultivation world's unspeakable "that man"...
Storybooks about him and his breathtaking romance were still popular, and his fangirls and fanboys could queue from the gates of the Piaomiao Sect all the way to the Demon Cult's entrance.
Mu Rong Ying: ...?
Mu Rong Ying needed only a second to accept his fame and legend.
He wanted to sweep an arm through the air and howl at the sky, "Why haven't you all come to bow before me yet?"
But he hadn't forgotten that he'd screwed over the male lead before he died.
Ten years had passed, and the male lead had become the man at the top of the cultivation world's food chain: head of the Piaomiao Sect and leader of the Immortal Alliance.
To save his own life, Mu Rong Ying could only sigh and give up.
But before long, he exposed his whereabouts while trying to complete that damned System's tasks.
Mu Rong Ying was trapped, unable to move forward or retreat.
When he looked up, the man before him wore dazzling red robes, but his hair had turned white. He was no longer the boy he'd once been.
Mu Rong Ying thought he was about to die all over again.
Who could have guessed that the other man would...
"Xiao Ying..." He Mingzhuo called, his eyes red.
And then...
For the nth time, Mu Rong Ying watched the male lead lean in to kiss him, his face dark with frustration. "Damn it, you might as well just stab me!"
**
Dark, obsessive, possessive daddy-type gong vs. cold-faced, warm-hearted, loves showing off shou
He Mingzhuo x Mu Rong Ying
Lighthearted and goofy
One-on-one, happy ending, enemies who fall in love. Expect plenty of scenes where the shou shows off.
After the shou fakes his death and returns, neither his age nor his appearance has changed, so technically the gong is younger early on and older later?
Anyway, the gong is a total creep.
Theme: Unchanged in body, still radiant as ever
