The Sacrificial Singer

Currently updating: The Villainous Cannon Fodder's Guide to Self-Sabotage. A beautiful, outwardly cold but inwardly gentle master who is the shou x a disciple who acts upright but is actually a crazy male ghost who is the gong. A recommendation for my friend's upcoming novel: The Scum Gong's Beloved, He Likes Me (Quick Transmigration) Blurb: A short, unconventional supernatural story: a naturally airheaded Heavenly Master shou who flirts without realizing it x a sensitive, unloved, handsome and powerful tragic evil cultivator gong. Lan Yin is a spirit born of heaven and earth. On the surface, he's a little Heavenly Master who can't take care of himself. In truth, he's a sacrificial singer, a rare talent seen only once in a century. After a year of studying, Lan Yin receives his first assignment. Before he leaves the mountain, his elders tell him to stay far away from the evil cultivator named Qi Mingyi. That man is hideously ugly, sinister, and treacherous. He's no good! Lan Yin silently commits this to memory. After coming down the mountain, Lan Yin learns the human way of showing affection: kissing. So every day, Lan Yin kisses his little wooden sword and his little paper talismans. One day, Lan Yin meets a handsome man in a black trench coat. To show his affection, he gives the man a kiss. Seeing the other man's stiff expression, he asks in confusion, "What's your name?" The man curls his lips into a smile. "Qi Mingyi." With that answer, the one who stiffens changes... Little scene: Before they get together: Qi Mingyi: "Are you a bottom?" Lan Yin's eyes sparkle. "How did you know I'm a spirit!" After they get together: Qi Mingyi: "He's an innocent, adorable spirit. What's wrong with him kissing an evil cultivator!" Next upcoming novel: The Villainous Cannon Fodder's Guide to Self-Sabotage A beautiful, outwardly cold but inwardly gentle master who is the shou x a disciple who acts upright but is actually a crazy male ghost who is the gong. ←_← After transmigrating into a book, Tan You becomes the aloof Immortal Venerable who rules White Hall Peak with an iron fist. The good news: he's rich, powerful, handsome, and capable. The bad news: he's the doomed villainous cannon fodder destined to die in the story. Before Tan You can even complain about his identity, he hears a dog bark and inexplicably gets bound to a self-rescue System. To survive, he has no choice but to complete the mission: "Stop the disciple and male lead from turning evil." ←_← For his first attempt, Tan You decides to play a kind master and change his little disciple with care and love, filling the wounded heart of the boy. But he fills it a little too much, and the little disciple develops feelings for him! With no other choice, Tan You fakes his death and tries another approach. Unexpectedly, the little disciple turns evil because of his death, and the mission fails. ←_← For his second attempt, when Tan You sees his righteous-looking little disciple again, he has plenty to reflect on. Having learned his lesson, he decides to be an aloof master this time. He deliberately keeps the disciple at a distance and only steps in when the boy is in danger. The result is that the little disciple grows resentful and jealous over the "favoritism," becomes twisted, and falls in love with Tan You again. He even imprisons him by force, leaving Tan You no choice but to use his old trick: fake his death and escape. Just as expected, the disciple is pushed over the edge and turns evil. The mission fails again. ←_← For his third attempt, Tan You decides to give up and let things fall apart. Whatever! Let the world be destroyed! Completing the mission only lets him live ten years, while ignoring it lets him live twenty! Whoever wants to do this mission can do it! But the disciple notices Tan You's change in attitude and keeps causing trouble to get his attention. He even approaches him like a male ghost and tells him he remembers the previous two lives... ←_← This mission is impossible to complete. One day, Tan You thinks as he clutches his aching waist, at this rate, it won't be the little disciple who turns evil. It might be him. Theme: Becoming a better version of yourself
