A Restricted-Content Side Character Is Forced to Become Everyone's Favorite

[Bottom, cultivation, one-on-one]

Xuan Ci transmigrated with a corrupted System.

He became a cannon-fodder great demon in a BL cultivation novel, stupid and vicious, a walking opportunity dispenser for the protagonist gong and shou. Before ten chapters had passed, his limbs would be cut off and he would be thrown to an ancient eldritch demon as food.

Xuan Ci: .

As cannon fodder, he should make nice with the protagonist group before the plot unfolds and offer them his loyalty to avoid a gruesome end.

But Xuan Ci was born contrary and loved going against the grain.

Be their dog?

Ha. Better to be their master himself.

With a beautiful face and a clever mind, Xuan Ci could switch personas at will.

The advantages of transmigrating into a book gave him access to the characters' backgrounds and secrets. Xuan Ci used them to move between the protagonist gong and shou, wielding his looks and acting skills, along with deceit and scheming, to turn a losing hand into a checkmate.

The stupid cannon-fodder character who died early in the original story became the ultimate BOSS. The lofty protagonist gong and shou were trampled under Xuan Ci's feet, trained, deceived, and toyed with like dogs.

They hated and resented Xuan Ci, their eyes concealing dark emotions, their behavior unmistakably twisted.

Just as Xuan Ci was about to press the protagonist group down and lie flat in the prime of his life, the corrupted System, offline for hundreds of years, suddenly came online

Xuan Ci: Wait, what hate level?

■■■

Xuan Ci was reborn.

He returned to several hundred years in the past.

At the beginning of his transmigration, he was a beautiful demon slave of lowly bloodline, bullied and traded by anyone in the pleasure quarter.

Three low-grade spirit stones could buy a night with him.

Xuan Ci: Why do they keep putting me through this crap...

As he tried to find a way to escape, the protagonist group, who had also returned with their memories, went from heaven's favored sons to dark, unhinged obsessives.

They harbored twisted hatred and intended to kill in the cradle the great demon who would charm people and throw most of the cultivation world into chaos.

But they discovered that the future femme fatale was currently just a young demon slave, kneeling in the pleasure quarter and scrubbing the floor.

All skin and bones, beautiful and pitiable.

When passing customers teased and disrespected him, he could only lower his head and remain silent.

They thought this was a chance.

A chance to keep watch over and educate the lying villain who would one day be born.

But they forgot that once a dog collar has been fastened around someone's neck, it can never be removed. Even a rabid dog with a mouthful of fangs must bow its head to the demon slave who hides all his schemes.

■■■

In his second life, the rebellious mad dogs circled around Xuan Ci.

But Xuan Ci didn't know that his story was only just beginning.

Please note:

1. An ancient-style BL cultivation novel, with lots of original worldbuilding.

2. A beloved shou surrounded by admirers; all gongs are paragons of gentlemanly conduct.

3. A villainous protagonist, an egoist, and the most beautiful character in the story.

4. There is a System, but it plays a relatively minor role.

5. Clichés, romantic rivalry, regret-and-pursuit, a Gary Stu, and everyone has a one-sided crush on the shou.

6. One-on-one. The main gong will be decided before the story begins; this blurb may be revised later.
