[Goofy, funny, lighthearted daily life / Rivals to lovers]

[Romance-focused blurb]

Before turning thirty-five, Sheng Yunlan was an aloof CEO and workaholic. Then he suddenly died and transmigrated into a tragic melodrama as a cannon-fodder male supporting character.

The novel had two male leads:

Mu Hanzhang, the foremost cultivator of the immortal sects: obsessive and celibate, proper and old-fashioned, renouncing love and severing ties.

Yue Xuange, blessed with an enchanting body: sweet and seductive, gentle yet strong, devoted heart and soul.

Sheng Yunlan: Now that's the stuff. So, who did I transmigrate as?

System: Host, you transmigrated as the ruthless, twisted, arrogant and domineering second male lead, the Demon Venerable! You can only complete your mission by bringing the protagonists together through a bloody, angsty romance with a happy ending!

Lately, everyone in the cultivation world had noticed the Demon Venerable circling Yue Xuange like an oversized puppy, fussing over him every day:

"Baby, have you eaten? Mwah! Did you dress warmly? Awww, I love you so much, baby! Kisses! Like me, won't you? Don't like that stinky sword cultivator."

The actual male lead, Mu Hanzhang: Are you sick?

Sheng Yunlan: With a face like his, and you still won't drool over him?

Later, at the immortal sect tournament atop Tianyan Peak, someone saw Mu Hanzhang corner Sheng Yunlan and kiss him despite trying to hold back, asking between kisses:

"You only like him? You don't like me?"

"I like... I like you so much I'm crazy."

#What do I do if my rival seems to have fallen for me?#

#The aloof beauty descends from his pedestal for me#

[Plot-focused blurb]

The CEO Sheng Yunlan suddenly dies and transmigrates into a melodramatic novel as a cannon-fodder villain, the Demon Venerable.

The System issues a mission: To make the plot more satisfying, compete with the righteous immortal lord, the male lead, for the beloved protagonist. Be the protagonist's devoted fan and a cog in the leads' relationship, so their romance can reach a perfect ending!

Sheng Yunlan: ...Do I look like some kind of masochist?

System: The plot also needs to be fleshed out: getting humiliated and face-slapped chapter after chapter, losing all your friends and family, having your clan wiped out, and finally dying by suicide. That's the fate of a vicious villain!

Sheng Yunlan: Enough! I said enough! I feel sorry for myself!

What the hell kind of ending is that?! To hell with being the big bad cannon fodder! I'm going to restore the demon clan!

Sheng Yunlan summoned six subordinates and appointed them CFO, CIO, CTO, HR, OD, and MD, then worked through the night on the "Demon Clan Group Revival Plan"

A six-month probation period, where you either get promoted or get fired; 360-degree performance reviews with PIPs and KPIs; endless reports, all due...

Later, everyone in the demon realm had perfect KPIs. Only cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage or above stood a chance of getting an offer from a top demon clan company. Its GDP surpassed the UK in three years and caught up with the US in five. Permanent employees got five kinds of social insurance, a housing fund, and a villa in a scenic area, making the cultivation world yearn to work there.

●The story is primarily plot-driven, but the romance in the blurb will definitely happen.

●Updated daily. I'll post a notice if anything comes up.

[Master-disciple romance, younger disciple]

A master who tries her best to save a little white flower vs. a dark and twisted disciple who says, "Let's see how you plan to save me."

Five hundred years from now, everyone knows that Ying Lingxiao, a demon who once achieved nothing, became a fearsome Demon Lord. He slaughtered countless lives, mastered the demonic arts, and plunged the cultivation world into chaos, leaving mountains of corpses and rivers of blood.

To save the cultivation world, Min Ci returns to the past with a mission to reform the demon. Every day, she tries to guide Ying Lingxiao, who is still a little white-flower pup

The pup can't get enough to eat?

Min Ci learns to cook and makes Ying Lingxiao pork rib soup every day

The pup is bullied by his fellow disciples?

Min Ci treats his wounds, brings him medicine, and takes him to get even

The pup goes berserk while cultivating?

Min Ci holds Ying Lingxiao's hand and channels spiritual energy into him all night

After years of constant care, Ying Lingxiao grows into a young man safe and sound, with no disasters or misfortune. Min Ci believes he won't turn into the Demon Lord who leaves mountains of corpses and rivers of blood, and that such a tragedy will never happen

But Ying Lingxiao suddenly grabs her by the throat and says coldly, "Master, who are you putting on this act for in this life?"

"I'm just one step away from reaching the pinnacle of cultivation. That step is to kill my master and prove my Dao."

"You've been so good to me, Master. Surely you'll grant me this tiny wish, won't you?"

It turns out that in this life, Ying Lingxiao was never a little white flower at all. He's the reborn Demon Lord Lingxiao, the Black Lotus!

So, right in front of Ying Lingxiao, Min Ci destroys her own immortal bones. As he watches in obvious panic, she leaps into his demonic formation

Leaving not a single intact corpse behind.

What a joke. There's no way to keep one intact.

The Demon Lord, who witnessed it all, turns white-haired overnight. He slaughters every orthodox sect in the world in his search for Min Ci's lingering soul, until

He finds a little bundle with a face very much like his own.

No one knows that the Demon Lord, holding the child, kneels before the divine throne for days, begging the god he trampled underfoot to grant him one more chance to atone.
