A Worthy Rival in Love's Guide to Self-Improvement

[Quick transmigration, one-on-one, top, fragmented love triangle showdown]

Lu Heyan is a quick transmigrator.

His mission is to be the love rival of the protagonist top, constantly provoking him and acting as a catalyst for the love story between the top and bottom protagonists.

In a xianxia cultivation story, he is the senior brother deeply in love with the protagonist bottom, bringing him medicine and gifts, caring for him like a warm spring breeze, and even rushing in to take a blade for him at the crucial moment. Then he makes a graceful fake death and successfully becomes the protagonist bottom's senior brother, the White Moonlight who died young.

But years after Lu Heyan's "death," the protagonist top still found him.

The once noble and illustrious senior brother had fallen far in cultivation. He coughed every few steps and had also "lost his memory."

Lu Heyan trembled: What are you here for, to turn the White Moonlight who died young into someone who's really dead?

Unexpectedly, the protagonist top pinned him to the bed and sneered, enunciating every word:

"Even with amnesia, Senior Brother still can't forget Junior Brother. It seems you never cared about me at all. But that's fine. I'll make sure that from now on, Senior Brother only remembers me."

Lu Heyan: ...

Wait, man, aren't you against sharing your favorite character?

In a high school romance, he is an obsessive senior who falls in love with the protagonist bottom at first sight, insinuating himself into every corner of his life. His love is twisted, his obsession bone-deep.

According to the plot, on the eve of his ruin, Lu Heyan gently coaxes the protagonist bottom into drinking that glass of wine, smiling as he tells him of his love and waiting for the furious protagonist top to burst in...

Until suddenly he feels dizzy. In his hazy state, the protagonist bottom, who has always seemed like a little lamb, drops his disguise and forcefully pins him in his arms, desire in his eyes so intense it makes his heart skip a beat.

"Don't be afraid, Senior. We'll be together forever, until death do us part."

The fake obsessive Lu Heyan jolts upright: ...

Are you serious?

In a historical political intrigue story, he is a regent with overwhelming power.

In a supernatural story, he is a sinister, hypocritical older-brother figure next door.

In a wuxia story, he is a demon cult spy enduring humiliation.

=Upcoming Story: Survival Guide for a Cannon-Fodder Ex-Husband

A ridiculous marriage contract has made the whole city of Licheng aware that the playboy young master Liang is going to marry Chi Hanjie, the sword immortal he once humiliated, who is now a cripple.

Everyone says the young master is marrying Chi Hanjie to get revenge for the humiliation he suffered years ago.

Transported into the night of his wedding, Liang Jiming stood pale-faced in his wedding robes.

Only he knew that Chi Hanjie was the greatest boss in the book. He'd been biding his time, and in just three years he'd storm into Licheng with the force of a thunderbolt and hang Liang Jiming from the city wall as a snack for monsters.

Liang Jiming: I'm done for.

To save himself, he immediately dissolved the antidote in wine and forced Chi Hanjie to drink it. Meeting his angry gaze, he smiled roguishly: "Don't you dare die. We still have a long score to settle."

They were newlyweds, together day and night, and their life was a complete mess.

Young Master Liang thought he'd given this man his whole heart, though Chi Hanjie still wanted nothing more than to get rid of him.

Through Liang Jiming's efforts, rumors spread that Chi Hanjie hated Young Master Liang to the utmost. Liang Jiming turned to look at Chi Hanjie and, sure enough, read nothing but disgust and weariness in his eyes.

Liang Jiming: How am I supposed to win this one?

Later, monsters overran the city. Liang Jiming stood on the city wall, and despite Chi Hanjie's threats and pleas, he swallowed a blade and killed himself as blood splashed across the spirit formation.

His fake death succeeded, and a fortune-teller appeared in a southern water town.

Until the Demon Emperor entered the world and Liang Jiming was bound and taken to his residence.

With red silk tied high, Chi Hanjie waited for the drug to take effect as Liang Jiming wept helplessly.

"We still have a long score to settle."
