After Killing the Saintly Protagonist, I Got Stuck with Him

Ji Changbai died of illness. But when he closed his eyes and opened them again, he had transmigrated into a power fantasy novel he had read while alive, and was bound to a life-extension System.

The System gave him a second chance at life, and even the opportunity to return to his original world. All he had to do was win over the saintly protagonist, Shen Yuxiu, and steal his luck and opportunities. Then he could not only escape the curse of illness and stay alive, but also reunite with his parents and live forever.

Ji Changbai had had enough of lying in a hospital bed, covered in needles, waiting to die. He couldn't bear the thought of being separated from his parents forever, either. He was willing to go to hell if that was what it took to get home.

To survive and return home, Ji Changbai followed the original story's plot and did everything he could to win Shen Yuxiu over. He became his closest friend through the most despicable means, while secretly claiming his opportunities and resources for himself.

Shen Yuxiu was a saint, so Ji Changbai pretended to be a kind, naive sweetheart.

When Shen Yuxiu was gravely wounded and near death, Ji Changbai sacrificed his entire cultivation to keep his meridians alive…

When Shen Yuxiu fell for him, Ji Changbai had to swallow his disgust and couldn't reject him outright. He even had to play hard to get.

At last, just as Ji Changbai was about to reach his limit, his progress hit 99%. All he had to do was cut out Shen Yuxiu's innate immortal bone and split it with the System. Then he could ascend to immortality on the spot, complete his mission, and return home in perfect health!

So, on their wedding night, they shared the nuptial wine.

Blood stained the bed. A pale immortal bone.

Ji Changbai got everything he wanted.

Shen Yuxiu died, his soul and cultivation destroyed.

Back in the present, Ji Changbai was overjoyed to have a healthy body.

Caught up in the joy of his new life, he could finally go to school and live like a normal person. He even got into a pretty good university.

Everything that had happened before faded like passing clouds. Once Ji Changbai had enrolled in university and settled into his new life, he pushed it all to the back of his mind.

But then.

On the day university began, just as Ji Changbai was about to start his new life, a familiar voice rang in his ears like a clap of thunder.

In the sweltering summer heat of a crowded campus, Ji Changbai's heart pounded, and a chill ran through his entire body.

"A-Ji…"

A sticky, icy ghostly aura crept against his ear. Ji Changbai turned stiffly and saw a handsome, pale face, no longer gentle as before, but twisted with grim delight and deranged obsession.

It was Shen Yuxiu, who had died long ago and should never have appeared before him.

The once admired and benevolent gentleman, elegant and kind, now looked like a demon crawling out of hell. The love in his eyes had twisted into something sickeningly obsessive. "…I've found you."
