The Male Lead Is Turning Dark

Lu Dingbai accidentally transmigrates into an unfinished cultivation novel. His mission is to stop the male lead from turning evil and prevent him from destroying the world.

In the novel, the male lead, Wei Xingche, is both the child of a human and a demon and a furnace physique. After his heritage is revealed, everyone despises him. He also learns that the sect took him in only because of his special physique. Isolated and utterly despairing, he finally turns evil and throws the entire world into chaos.

"My name is Wei Xingche. What's yours?"

At their first meeting, Lu Dingbai looks at the smiling, bright-eyed boy before him, as innocent and radiant as a blank sheet of paper, and almost thinks he has mistaken him for someone else.

He successfully guides Wei Xingche through the plot that would have made him turn evil, but then accidentally dies and returns from the novel's world to reality.

His memories are erased at the same time.

Lu Dingbai forgets everything that happened in the novel. Then one day, a strange person comes looking for him and asks him to save the novel's world, which is on the verge of collapse.

Lu Dingbai has no choice but to transmigrate again. He comes face-to-face with the culprit behind the world's collapse: the male lead, Wei Xingche.

The unfamiliar young man has a head of white hair and dark eyes. When he sees Lu Dingbai, joy fills his face, and he murmurs obsessively:

"A Bai..."

Male lead's point of view:

Wei Xingche is one of the most promising young disciples of the Qingshan Sect, a heaven-blessed prodigy, full of youthful spirit. But overnight, he falls into the mud, deceived and betrayed by his closest kin and fellow disciples, and hunted by the cultivation world.

Only Lu Dingbai stays by his side, pulling him up from the depths of despair.

Though he has lost everything he once had, it doesn't matter. As long as he has Lu Dingbai, he can carry on like this, and that's good enough.

That's what Wei Xingche thinks.

He never expects to one day watch Lu Dingbai be reduced to nothing but bones in the formation cast by those he once called fellow disciples.

Later, he allies himself with demons and becomes the great fiend everyone fears.

He practices forbidden arts, his black hair turning white, and sacrifices his life force in an attempt to bring Lu Dingbai back to life.

At last, he sees Lu Dingbai again.

It turns out Heaven hasn't been quite so cruel to him.

Even if Lu Dingbai has forgotten him, it doesn't matter.

As long as he's by his side, that's enough.
