Ye He transmigrates into a book, landing in a story about a foolish beauty who is the love interest, where he becomes a disposable character killed off right at the beginning.
The disposable character's parents once saved the foolish beauty's life. Because they believe the beauty owes them a debt, they force him to marry their daughter. But their daughter already loves someone else and refuses to marry the foolish beauty, so she elopes with her beloved on the eve of the wedding.
With the invitations already sent and the guests about to arrive, the disposable character's parents do not want the marriage to become a laughingstock. They force him to disguise himself as a woman, impersonate his sister, and marry the foolish beauty first. Then they plan to find their runaway daughter and switch the two back.
And Ye He is that disposable son.
Only after the wedding ceremony does Ye He remember what happens to him in the original story. He rolls his eyes and starts reviewing the plot.
The good news:
The foolish beauty is delicate and frail, and not very bright, so he will never realize that the person who married him is a man. Ye He's secret identity is safe.
The bad news:
The foolish beauty does not know that he and Ye He are both men, and keeps trying to get close to Ye He. This makes the original story's male lead jealous, and Ye He gets killed...
As if he is going to die.
To escape the original plot, Ye He immediately seeks out the foolish beauty. He slaps a divorce letter against the beauty's face, then points at him and curses, "With a scrawny body like yours, you think you're fit to marry..."
No way!
Why is this foolish beauty so huge?
The supposedly delicate beauty before him is so much taller than he is. He looks like he could punch out two of Ye He, whose cultivation is already poor!
Later, with the foolish beauty's (?) face drawing ever closer, Ye He finally cannot help trying to tell him the truth.
But the moment Ye He opens his mouth, the foolish beauty smiles and covers it, as if he knows nothing, then happily says, "It's time to consummate the marriage."
Ye He: "!!!"

The Demon Venerable Yan Xiu was ambushed by Shen He, a revered figure of the righteous path. To save his mother, he was imprisoned in the abyss for centuries, his body turned to stone. Later, his followers stole the Soul-Swapping Mirror to save him, allowing him to enter the body of Shen He's only son, Shen Weiyuan.
The day he arrived, Shen Weiyuan was getting married.
His subordinate asked what he wanted to do with the people of the Shen family.
Yan Xiu gave a cold laugh. "Kill them all. Leave no survivors."
After saying this, Yan Xiu caught sight of Shen Weiyuan's "wife," who could not even manage to disguise herself properly.
Well...
"I suppose leaving one survivor wouldn't be out of the question."
