A transmigrated-into-a-book, fake-death, cross-dressing cannon-fodder girl × a reborn, corrupted protagonist senior brother

1.

Chen Mulu accidentally gets bound to a System and transmigrates into a dog-blooded xianxia novel as the cannon-fodder junior sister, a fellow cultivator's second-generation kid with the same name.

Good news: He doesn't have many scenes, but he's loaded. Once the plot is over, he can retire.

Bad news: The cannon-fodder junior sister and the protagonist senior brother are afflicted with a Heartbond Gu. The only way to cure it is dual cultivation, and staying alive depends entirely on getting laid.

The cannon-fodder himself, forced to cross-dress: WTF.

He's not actually a junior sister, so how is he supposed to cultivate?!

The System gives a tactful cough: Dear, you will die if you don't get cured.

In a dim cave, the irrational protagonist breathes in the scent of his neck, then grinds down on his lips without mercy. "Found you, little junior sister."

Chen Mulu: Haha, I'm so screwed.

At the height of their mutual hatred, the Gu forces him to roll around with his senior brother for three days and three nights, and he still has to grit his teeth and go at it sword to sword.

He even lost. Damn it.

2.

Worse still, the Heartbond Gu acts up at every full moon.

After the first cure, he clutches his fasting stomach and runs.

After the second cure, he cleans up the scene and runs.

After the Nth cure, Chen Mulu expertly tidies up the aftermath. He's just about to pull up his pants and leave when an icy sword is held to his throat.

The protagonist senior brother, who should have no memory of their cure, has suddenly woken up and is looking at him with a smiling face.

Chen Mulu, caught off guard with his disguise blown: ...I'm a dead man.

3.

Meng Changying has always known he lives inside a book.

Nightmares have plagued him since childhood. He knows he is the chosen son of Heaven's Dao, destined to ascend.

But ascending means starting over. In his dreams, he fails to ascend countless times, and whenever he opens his eyes, he is back at ten years old, with nothing.

He is trapped in the cycle of reincarnation forever, unable to escape.

Until the suppressed Heartbond Gu is awakened. He watches the naive "little junior sister" blunder in, and a glint flashes in his eyes.

In a hundred lifetimes of reincarnation, he has never had a junior sister.

He thought she was just a little distraction, but he hadn't expected to misjudge her. In the secret realm, Chen Mulu, usually arrogant and flamboyant, takes a deadly sword strike for him and calls him senior brother for the first time.

He says, "Senior brother, now we're even."

4.

The plot goes off the rails, the System is useless, and the protagonist senior brother looks at him more and more strangely.

Chen Mulu can't take it anymore. He fakes his death and descends to the mortal realm, letting the protagonist fulfill his tribulation of love on the path to proving the Dao.

Day N of freedom. The weather is clear. He has returned to his male form and goes to a brothel with his deadbeat buddies to broaden his horizons.

Halfway through his drink, Meng Changying, now honored as Sword Venerable, descends from the sky with his sword and coldly corners him against a wall.

Chen Mulu shuts his eyes and begs his senior brother to spare him, only for his senior brother to silence him with a kiss.

He is tied up and taken back to the sect, then locked inside a golden palace.

He becomes the one and only devil in his senior brother's heart.

Tsundere heiress bottom × young, fatherly ghost top

+Reader's Notes+

1. The cross-dressing bottom makes up at least 75% of the story. From the start, both the top and bottom have youthful personalities.

2. Handsome top, beautiful bottom; the top is older. Both are physically and emotionally chaste, in a strictly monogamous 1v1. The bottom is the original's returning self, and the top has gone through every reincarnation as an emotionless Dao cultivator and virgin. The author is a fragile, purity-obsessed fan of pure romances. The top and bottom have only ever had feelings for each other, with no romantic experience involving anyone else.

3. Side couple: Song Shen / Xuezhi. They have very few scenes. Their story is in the bonus collection next door.

* The bottom isn't a typical vicious cannon fodder. He's tsundere and soft-hearted, and never quite goes through with the bad things he tries to do. Being sensitive and overthinking isn't a sin.

* The top falls in love at first sight. He has incredible resilience and unconditionally indulges his darling. They're a lovesick couple who are both willing participants.

At the end of the story, the dragon-pride hero finally becomes an emperor revered by all and settles accounts with everyone.

The enemies who wiped out his family become a pile of dust. The demon realm that slighted him becomes a wasteland. The Heavenly Dao that killed his late wife is slain with a single sword strike.

It is now exactly one hundred years since his wife died.

Lin Fuxue thinks he has been reborn at the worst possible time.

After all, he broke off his engagement with the emperor, tormented the emperor's people, and is the last surviving member of the demon realm's royal family.

Lin Fuxue leans back: I can just wait to die.

Later, just as expected, the vengeful emperor catches him.

For the first time in his life, the haughty little demon lord wants to bow his head, but the emperor pins him beneath the red wedding curtains and settles, over and over, the score for that wedding night he missed.

Lin Fuxue is furious and grief-stricken: I should've just died!!

*

Su Xiaochen has known since childhood that he is betrothed to the youngest son of the Demon Emperor.

His little fiancé is born to wealth and privilege. Su Xiaochen believes his own fallen family is beneath the other man's station, so he plans to call on him and break off the engagement.

Until the moment he sees Lin Fuxue.

In the flower grove, the young demon lord is so beautiful he seems almost demonic. When he looks at Su Xiaochen, his gaze is languid, as if nothing matters as much as the flower branch before him. "You're that broke nobody?"

Though Su Xiaochen has a thousand things to say, all he can do is fall silent.

They become Dao companions, but everyone knows they're a bitter couple.

They can't stand the sight of each other, and before they can part in life, death separates them.

The knot of young love is too hard to untie. When they meet again, one is already a stranger from the past.

Haughty heiress × scheming dragon-pride hero

The bottom runs away from their marriage on his own, making them a bitter couple. The top falls in love at first sight with his idealized beloved.

The bottom has pink hair and is based on the Hou, a creature that looks like a rabbit.

They reunite at the beginning of the story. The top slays the Dao to save his wife and bring the bottom back to life. When they meet again, the bottom's memories are still at the point when the engagement was broken off, but they will return later.

Before resurrection: A bickering couple grows into young spouses who support each other.

After resurrection: He runs, the top chases, and he has nowhere to escape, an older husband with a younger wife.

Theme: Keep kindness in your heart and protect all living things.
