I Forced Long Aotian Through Nine Lifetimes [Farming]

The good news: she transmigrated into a book, a cultivation world.

The bad news: it was a male-oriented comeback novel. Her soul was imprisoned by the System, while her body bullied the male lead, Long Aotian, life after life, for a total of nine lives.

As for Zhong Xiaoyue herself, her daily routine was watching “herself” blow up the outer sect’s dining hall, provoke the Venerable Immortal, and force Long Aotian to cultivate dual cultivation with her.

Zhong Xiaoyue: How has she not died after acting like this? He’s way too indulgent.

But in the next moment, her soul regained control of her body.

Zhong Xiaoyue: ? System, you could at least have told me you were running away!

Forced to take over, Zhong Xiaoyue used a little trick and managed to escape.

Before long, Zhong Xiaoyue got to live again.

What she hadn’t expected was that Long Aotian, the male lead who’d been tormented by the System for nine lives, had been reborn.

Zhong Xiaoyue: Woohoo, let the world end. Right now.

Wait, had her destroyed golden core turned into a spiritual field?

Zhong Xiaoyue: Hold off on the apocalypse. Looks like I can keep lying low for a while longer!

To stay alive, Zhong Xiaoyue picked up a hoe and started farming the hard way in the immortal sect.

Every little bit her crops grew, her cultivation improved by the same amount.

At this rate, stomping on Nascent Soul cultivators and kicking Divine Transformation cultivators would soon be within reach!

Just as her life was finally starting to look up, Zhou Linyi came to her door. “Since you’ve reached Foundation Establishment, Senior Sister, it’s time to go down the mountain and exterminate demons.”

Zhong Xiaoyue screamed inwardly: That wasn’t in the plot! Does the villain have to work overtime with the male lead too?

Then she thought it over: She could bring her spiritual field along and bury demon cores as fertilizer. Fine, she’d go!

But why did Long Aotian keep stepping in front of her?

And what did he mean by, “Senior Sister, you’re finally back”???

*

Zhou Linyi knew something had taken over Zhong Xiaoyue’s body.

But until now, he hadn’t been able to find a way to deal with it.

Zhou Linyi kept destroying himself until, after his ninth rebirth, he finally succeeded.

Unfortunately, Zhong Xiaoyue had forgotten their past.

It didn’t matter. He would make her remember.

Title: "Rules of the Strange Tales: I Come with a VIP Pass"

Chen Ke went abroad for a company retreat and accidentally got caught up in a horror game.

Huh? Even these eerie tales have learned from ordinary games and give her an S-rank golden finger from the start: she can summon the heroine from her own writing to clear instances. But where are the instructions...

“Need instructions? I’ll teach you.” Zhao Chen, the instance boss, smiled gently.

Chen Ke drew in a sharp breath. Was this really an instance? Boss Zhao Chen had broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and stunning looks.

But at Zhao Chen’s words, she glanced at the eerie creatures around them, all too afraid to raise their heads. Was this instance boss really so “approachable”?

But did the instructions have to involve getting so close? A hug was way too much!

The rules said: Do not touch the eerie creatures. Chen Ke pondered in confusion.

“I’m not bound by this instance’s rules,” Zhao Chen said, seeing her confusion and answering her question.

She’d figured out that Zhao Chen wasn’t bound by the rules. The hotel was supposed to be a rest area for players, where eerie creatures couldn’t enter. Yet she saw Zhao Chen there, and he’d somehow become a player.

“Want to join me in the next instance, "The Underworld King Takes a Bride"?”

As Zhao Chen offered her an olive branch, Chen Ke cautiously tested the waters. Could she say no?

Zhao Chen smiled. “Guess!”

She knew there was no refusing an eerie creature. But clearing instances together was one thing. Why did they have to share a room?

“The rules say: Guests attending the ceremony must take either the yin or yang path. The host insists on balancing yin and yang, so one yin and one yang must share a bed.”

Zhao Chen raised an eyebrow. “Or do you not want me? Do you want something else?”

Chen Ke immediately latched onto him. “I want you!”

"From the male lead’s perspective"

His wife always liked to seal away her memories and go sightseeing in the human world. But she was unlucky and always ran into bad people, so to rescue her, he had no choice but to drag them all into the strange-tales game.

His wife was timid but quick-witted. Every time she was scared to the point of tears, she still tried to act brave. That was fine. He would hold her and make her feel safe. But why did she tremble even harder?

Content warnings:

1. The male lead is strong and the female lead is weak. The male lead has a smaller role in the first instance and much more to do in the later ones.

2. One-on-one romance, both leads are each other’s first and only.

3. The female lead is timid and rather weak.
