Who Is the Protagonist, Anyway?

Sheng Tao transmigrates into a prestigious cultivation family. He has everything he could want and seems to have won at life. His only shortcoming is his poor talent.

He is perfectly happy to be a lazy fish and thinks he can lie flat in peace for the rest of his life. Then one day, he wakes up and discovers that he has been bound to a System.

The System tells him this is a small world in a book, and the world is about to collapse. The only way to save it is to find the protagonist and help him cultivate.

But before the System can tell him who the protagonist is, it runs out of power, leaving him with just one clue: the protagonist is somewhere in the sect.

From then on, Sheng Tao sees a potential protagonist in everyone.

Rong Jin is the sect leader's disciple and the sect's senior brother. In the eyes of outsiders, he is exceptionally talented and devoted to the Dao.

That is, until one day, his junior brother, who had been doted on all his life, suddenly came to him of his own accord.

His junior brother is lazy by nature. Though he can't help sneaking naps every time, he insists on coming to study with him.

His junior brother is hopelessly clumsy. Though he keeps tripping over his own feet and falling into Rong Jin's arms, he cheerfully seeks him out to practice swordsmanship.

His junior brother is weak in cultivation. Though he gets chased all over the place by demonic beasts in secret realms, he happily turns around and gives Rong Jin treasures.

He's like a clingy little milk candy brought to life.

Rong Jin falls for him and can't help himself. He just wants to keep this little milk-candy sprite close, so the sun won't melt him, the rain won't soak him, and no one will bully him.

But when he turns around, he discovers that this little milk-candy sprite clings to more than just him.

Reading guide:

1. Naturally competitive senior-brother gong (Rong Jin) vs. beloved junior shou forced to work hard (Sheng Tao)

2. A sweet 1v1 story, with the shou doted on by everyone. Simple prose and shaky logic, so don't read if that bothers you.

3. The title and blurb have been revised. If that bothers you, feel free to remove it from your collection, sorry!

4. Readers of pirated copies are not welcome.

5. The story may still receive a few small changes before it begins.

Theme: Even a lazy fish who wants to lie flat will get up and fight when tasked with saving the world! Saving the world and staying positive are what truly show one's character!
