[Wuxia Crossover] Turns Out It's Not a Game

The jianghu keeps its secrets, while I watch the blossoms wither in the Jade Tower.

Three years into playing this single-player wuxia game, Young Master Xie, the Withering Sword, finally realized something was wrong. This... didn't seem to be a game world?

Huh? How could such a terrible calamity happen?!

Wait, all those quests he did before...

He'd always thought the quests were so absurd because the game's System was messing around, and messing around big time. So he'd enjoyed doing them immensely and been especially enthusiastic, never missing a single main or side quest.

Now... help!!!

It was all because he'd been so immersed in the game. His immersion was so strong that he lost the unshakable composure of the strongest Fourth Disaster and was now dying of embarrassment...

But later, he met someone, a strange person who told Xie Yulou, "The jianghu is the jianghu. Life isn't the jianghu."

Their CP dynamic... is hard to pin down. If I had to say: nurturing top x lazy bottom?

[Before You Read]

1. This is not an anthology. It's a wuxia mash-up set in one world, with a huge world map and several dynasties coexisting. Place names have been changed, so don't compare them to real history or geography.

2. Main character is the top, and the CP is Wang Dong. Aside from the original couples, there are no secondary CPs; all the others share wholesome brotherly friendship. Sometimes, please be forgiving when a straight guy gets a little too rough. The romance develops in the second half.

3. He really does transmigrate; this isn't a game. It starts out in game mode, with some of the truth revealed midway through. The quests are silly, but the plot is quite serious. The author can't write anything crazy.

4. Some more obscure wuxia works will be referenced. I'll provide a rough summary of the original in the author's notes when the time comes, so it won't affect your reading.
