A Fake Sickly One Meets a Truly Lovesick One

Shi Gui transmigrated into a minor character and was bound to a System.

The System gave him one overarching requirement: pretend to be sick and stay alive.

Shi Gui said it was impossible and refused. He was the kind of person who was worst at acting.

The next second, someone passed by, and Shi Gui immediately began coughing every three steps and gasping for breath every five, as if he would kick the bucket at any moment.

The System exclaimed from the sidelines: [Amazing! The Oscars owe you a little golden statuette!!]

Shi Gui calmly replied: Keep it low-key, this is basic stuff. Don't make a fuss.

Shi Gui thought he could keep pretending to be sick and survive smoothly all the way through, but before long, he got caught out.

Only later did Shi Gui learn that pretending to be sick and stay alive was just the easiest requirement.

The System demanded that Shi Gui set the plot back on track by rescuing the male protagonist from a sea of corpses. But who would have thought he would run into the biggest villain in the book?

The first time he saw that man, Shi Gui happened to witness him expressionlessly crushing two people's necks with his bare hands. The most alarming part was that he did it as casually as pulling up cabbages, cold and indifferent.

Blood stained the man's brows and eyes, and his tall, cold figure radiated menace. Yet his face was so deceptively handsome that every frown and smile seemed as ethereal as an immortal's. His expression looked nothing like that of someone who had just killed two people.

Shi Gui silently watched the man from the shadows. He saw the man's brows lower slightly, his gaze flick to the side, and then...

He was discovered.

Shi Gui instinctively tried to flee for his life, but the man caught him by the back of his collar. Shi Gui immediately started his usual sick act. Just as he pretended to faint, a cold hand slowly brushed his neck.

"Want to play dead? I can help you. I guarantee no one will see through it."

Shi Gui promptly declined. No thanks, that really wasn't necessary.

Later, the System informed Shi Gui that he had transmigrated into the wrong character. The character he was actually supposed to transmigrate into was Shen Fengzhi, the book's protagonist who is pursued by men.

In the original story, Shen Fengzhi is coveted by his own disciple. After turning evil, the disciple commits the ultimate transgression, imprisoning him in the Demon Realm and forcing him to submit day after day.

As luck would have it, he has two such outrageous disciples, and both of them have improper designs on him!

Shi Gui, upon learning he had to follow this plot: At this point, I'd rather the world just end...

P.S. The cultivation part isn't a major focus. A slow-burn story, and it is absolutely guaranteed to have a happy ending.
