As a sword cultivator following the Unfeeling Path, Wenren Xuan yearned to be like most of the senior cultivators on the same path.

Tie up a high ponytail, hold a blade of grass between his teeth, pick up his sword, and then go find a cultivation partner!

There's no need to explain how high the coupling rate is among cultivators of the Unfeeling Path.

He entered the path full of hope, but...

He accidentally ascended to immortality.

After ascending, Wenren Xuan became a newly minted trainee immortal in the Heavenly Realm. He was told that to become a full-fledged immortal, he had to complete three trainee assignments.

Taking the attitude that he might as well make the best of things, and that he could look for a cultivation partner anywhere, with perhaps even better prospects in the Heavenly Realm, Wenren Xuan happily accepted his first assignment as a trainee immortal:

Subdue the water demon.

One wave sent Wenren Xuan crashing to the ground.

Looking at the water demon who overwhelmingly outclassed him, Wenren Xuan gazed skyward in despair. "...Is this reasonable?! Can someone do something about this?"

The water demon grinned. "I didn't know the Heavenly Realm was worried I'd get bored and would send me a little immortal as a toy."

Just as Wenren Xuan was seriously considering which kind of tombstone would be most resistant to corrosion...

A blizzard swept across the sky.

A giant white beast came flying through the air, its wings blotting out the sun. A snow-white immortal with features like a painting rode on its back, and the chill around him instantly froze everything within ten li.

He simply raised one finger and pointed.

The water demon that had given Wenren Xuan a three-hour struggle instantly turned into an ice sculpture, its expression frozen forever.

Wenren Xuan stared blankly at that peerless face, his mind going blank as he blurted out, "...Holy crap, a beauty."

The fellow immortal who had just gotten up immediately flopped back down with a smack, pretending to be dead. Inside, he wailed: It's over, it's over. This kid really isn't afraid to die! He actually dares to flirt with someone who even froze an ancient God of War into an ice sculpture!

Everyone in the Heavenly Realm knew that Ling Yun Jue's heart had been frozen ever since his cultivation partner died.

Wenren Xuan had no idea. He just thought the beauty in front of him was both powerful and gorgeous, the perfect cultivation partner in his eyes. He gazed at him with stars in his eyes and asked with utmost sincerity, "Immortal Venerable, do you need a leg accessory?"

And what he knew even less was that...

The cultivation partner Ling Yun Jue had spent so many years pining for on Cold Mountain...

Was actually himself.

*

The Saint Snow Domain had an Immortal Venerable named Ling Yun Jue. He was exceptionally handsome and otherworldly in bearing. A thousand years ago, he and Wenren Lize were close friends during the great war between gods and demons.

After his friend sacrificed himself, Ling Yun Jue was devastated and volunteered to guard the spiritual leyline in the mortal realm. The Ninth Heaven all said that he was living as a widower.

When Wenren Xuan first met Ling Yun Jue, he felt an unusual affinity with the immortal.

Though the immortal was cold, he offered to take Wenren Xuan as his disciple. Stunned by his breathtaking beauty, Wenren Xuan accepted without a second thought.

Inside the Void Pavilion, the ethereal, aloof immortal stood behind him, partly encircling him. A crisp, cool scent instantly filled Wenren Xuan's nose.

Ling Yun Jue took hold of his wrist and guided his hand slowly upward, quietly instructing him.

Wenren Xuan's ears tingled, his back stiffened, and he stared straight ahead. Unable to hold back, he murmured, "Immortal Venerable, we're so close like this..."

Ling Yun Jue lowered his eyes and glanced at him. "It's fine. I'm your master."

Later, Ling Yun Jue still wore his cool, distant "I'm your master" expression as he cornered Wenren Xuan by the bed.

With nowhere to run, Wenren Xuan put a hand against his chest. Remembering that Ling Yun Jue had once admitted to having feelings for his close friend, he said with deep resentment, "Master, you're still mourning someone else."

Ling Yun Jue smiled faintly. "That doesn't matter."

Wenren Xuan exploded. He punched him in the chest and snapped, "It matters!!"

How did these two end up in a love triangle?

This novel is also known as "Turns Out I Was the Dead One in His Heart All Along"

Wenren Xuan: ??? I died?

Though the title is "After Flirting with the Snow Domain Envoy Who Has Been a Widower for Three Hundred Years," the phrase "three hundred years" just means a long time. In truth, it's been a whole lot of years. Three hundred years just rolls off the tongue. Our widower has actually been mourning for many, many years.

Upcoming novel blurb begins here

The announcement for "Why Isn't the Plot Following the Original Book?" includes a hyperlink.

Meng Yun Zhao is a full-time online novelist who stayed up all night revising a manuscript and accidentally died.

Meng Yun Zhao: I am so screwed.

When he opened his eyes again, he found he had transmigrated into the novel he'd written himself.

The good news: he knew every plot point and detail.

The bad news: he had become a cannon-fodder character whose brief appearance ended in just three minutes.

Meng Yun Zhao: Everything went black.

The wicked cannon-fodder villain has a peach-blossom face but a heart more poisonous than a snake's.

Relying on his family's modest influence and his status as a second-generation cultivator, he looks down on the genius male and female leads, who come from humble backgrounds, and repeatedly provokes them.

He even hires people to ambush Ye Mingqian, the story's protagonist, and demand the Cold Mountain Jade bestowed on him by the Venerable One after the sect tournament.

In the original novel, the male lead, Yan Wuya, heroically comes to the rescue, runs the villain through the throat with his sword, and takes back the item that belongs to the original protagonist.

The character who disappears after three minutes serves only to bring the male and female leads together.

Meng Yun Zhao looks at his delicious family fortune, hesitates for less than three seconds, then resolutely takes his lackey to ambush Ye Mingqian.

I can die, but you two have to end up together!

-

Meng Yun Zhao follows the plot to the letter and corners Ye Mingqian in a cave, giving the villain's signature cackle.

He shouts, "Go ahead and scream! No one will come to save you, even if you scream until your throat breaks!"

As soon as the words leave his mouth, a clear sword chime rings outside. A flying sword shoots straight into the cave and embeds itself firmly in the rock.

Meng Yun Zhao instantly gets excited.

Great! My protagonists are finally going to meet!

But before he can finish celebrating, an unfamiliar face squeezes in.

The newcomer is tall and long-legged. His peach-blossom eyes sweep over everyone present, then settle on Meng Yun Zhao.

He curls his lips into a smile and says, "Yun Zhao, I've been waiting for you for so long."

Meng Yun Zhao: ? Who are you, dude?

-

Even after failing to exit the story on schedule, Meng Yun Zhao doesn't forget his most important task:

Make sure the male and female leads get together smoothly.

To avoid breaking character, he follows his persona to the letter.

One minute he's splashing dirty water on Ye Mingqian's bed to force him to share a bed with Yan Wuya; the next he's sending Yan Wuya a false message that Ye Mingqian has had a crush on him for a long time.

In the end, fed up with his meddling, Ye Mingqian and Yan Wuya join forces and report Meng Yun Zhao to Xie Shu, the sect leader's eldest disciple.

Xie Shu calmly takes Meng Yun Zhao's chin and forces him to look up. "Oh, I see. I'll make sure to punish him properly."

Then, after the two of them leave, Xie Shu throws Meng Yun Zhao onto the bed.

Meng Yun Zhao cries and yells. He may like writing this kind of thing, but he never said he wanted it to happen to him.

"I'm sorry, I'm a bad guy. I'll never try to set people up again... Sob..."

Xie Shu refuses. "Don't be. Just keep being a bad guy. I'll consider it a crackdown on crime."

Meng Yun Zhao: Damn, no wonder the plot isn't following the original book. Turns out this guy transmigrated too!
