Who Has the Miaojiang Public NPC Put a Curse on This Time?

Xie Ling transmigrates into several novels as a shared NPC, tasked with playing the villain and pushing the romance between the male and female leads forward. 1. In a taboo romance about wealthy brothers: A young master at an elite school develops an unhealthy obsession with his older brother. His brother, the novel's protagonist, sends him to a reality show in the countryside, where he becomes Xie Ling's new neighbor. Xie Ling is a conscientious NPC. First, he needs to win over the arrogant young master with the foul temper. But as soon as the seduction begins, the System lets out a shriek: Is this your idea of seduction? You're training a dog! Xie Ling doesn't see what he's doing wrong. With this foul-mouthed, condescending rich kid who looks down on rural folk, Xie Ling hasn't used a love charm or poison. He even lets the kid say thank you after the slaps. System: Fine. So Xie Ling continues his seduction, but halfway through, the System shrieks again: Wait! How did the brothers' love turn into them fighting over each other? Xie Ling: Just tell me, did I move the romance along or not? 2. In an old-school domineering CEO's forced-capture romance: A CEO at the top of the social pyramid sets his sights on an impoverished academic prodigy, hoping to keep him like a canary with a single contract. After being rejected, the CEO goes camping with a friend in the mountains next to Xie Ling's village. As a shared NPC, Xie Ling needs to be good at managing his time. He plans to pursue both the young master and the CEO at once. 3. In a modern BL dating-show novel: A taciturn top and a flirtatious queen of a bottom are filming a two-day, one-night reality show, and happen to choose Xie Ling's village as their location... 4. In an esports online romance novel: ... Xie Ling: No wasted trips, none of them. He's going to get the job done in one go. Some time later. System: No, no, it's all wrong!!! The System shrieks for the third time: Why are they all fighting over you?! Xie Ling: You're so chatty. While Xie Ling and the System argue over who's right, the reality show and the BL dating show begin airing... And Xie Ling becomes a huge hit. The leads surrounding Xie Ling are given labels like A, B, C, and D by enthusiastic viewers. Viewers sniff out clues that A, B, C, and D are pulling each other's hair over love. At the same time, the hashtag #WhoElseFellForTheMiaojiangBoy'sTricks has also shot to the top of the trending list. Even then, Xie Ling still doesn't think he's doing anything wrong. System: Stubborn. Stubborn to the death. The livestream viewers: Elite academy students: At first: [Going to that dump is practically a trial by fire. Hang in there, young master.] [In some backwater mountain village, the people who live there must be even more disgusting than scholarship students.] [That place is revolting. Why does it even exist?] Later: [! The Miaojiang boy might actually know how to cast love spells!!!] [Can the young master even cut it? If not, give me his spot!] [The address, the address! Someone give me the exact location of the village!] The masses, here for the gossip: At first: Place your bets! Which one of A, B, C, and D will end up with him? Later: I'm done. What a huge upset. Turns out it's some X who came out of nowhere! The Sherlock Holmes crowd: There were clues all along. Childhood sweethearts always beat newcomers!!! Reader's guide: 1. A heartthrob power fantasy with a chaotic, all-out rivalry. The endgame couple should be childhood sweethearts. 2. There are lots of male side characters, not just the ones in the blurb. They're all pulling each other's hair over love. 3. Not realistic. The protagonist raises all kinds of reptiles and poisonous creatures, with a touch of fantasy involving Miaojiang poison-magic.

They're those overenthusiastic citizens with hearts as cold as iron toward him! The Great Sage doesn't understand, but promises to protect his master anyway. But who could have guessed? Not long after, the Great Sage returns from scouting the road ahead, and his master is gone again. Zhu Bajie: Senior Brother, this is bad! Master was taken by the overenthusiastic citizens!
