Everyone Hates Me in the Cultivation World, and Every Day I Don't Want to Live

(The opening isn't quite right yet and still needs work. For now, I'm writing about the straight guy next door who transmigrates into an erotica novel.)

Shen Huai transmigrates into a cultivation novel about a beloved protagonist, as the hated foil whom everyone despises.

The beloved junior brother gets sick, so Shen Huai drains his blood. The junior brother has a sword wound, and Shen Huai was the one who cut him. The junior brother falls off a cliff, and Shen Huai pushed him. In the end, Shen Huai is pierced through the heart by a sword.

Shen Huai: ...

System: "Your mission is to deliver golden fingers to the protagonist's group."

Shen Huai, who can't go on living and just wants to die: "Get lost! I'm not doing it. Don't stop me from dying."

*

Shen Huai joins the beloved protagonist's sect and starts handing out golden fingers. The whole sect's style gets thrown completely off course.

The eldest senior brother, a sword cultivator, is as pure and lofty as a gentle breeze and bright moon, aloof and ascetic. But his golden core is shattered, and he doesn't have long to live.

Shen Huai promptly gives him the "Watch More" golden finger.

[Invite just one more person to admire your naked body, and your cultivation will break through!]

Shen Huai: "You're only selling your body, but you're gaining cultivation, Senior Brother. The true way of the sword is to defeat ten thousand arts with a single sword."

Eldest Senior Brother: "Junior Brother is beautiful. He should sell himself first."

Shen Huai: "..."

Shen Huai gives the fourth senior brother, a music cultivator, the golden finger "Douyin's Top Hits of the Year."

He gives the fifth senior brother, a dance cultivator, a hand-gesture dance golden finger.

When they face off against the demon clan, the fourth senior brother sings like a human BGM, while the fifth senior brother dances with wild abandon. "Autumn passes, winter comes, the moon floats like the wind. Will you spend the winter with me?"

The demon clan: ...?

What powerful cultivation technique is this, and which great master did they get it from? It's so hot!

The two senior brothers look disdainful and heap praise on Shen Huai. "You just haven't seen the good stuff. My junior brother Shen dances even hotter."

Shen Huai's face turns red with embarrassment. "Can a cultivator's suggestive dancing really be called hot?!"

*

Shen Huai is treated as the sect's useless trash and gets bullied. "If I had to live like the useless trash Shen Huai, I'd just die."

Shen Huai, who only wants to die now and then: "Someone as useless as me really should die."

The first, second, third, fourth, and fifth senior brothers: Shen Huai's the real schemer. He can refine pills with his left hand and draw talismans with his right, and both turn out top-grade. He keeps having sudden breakthroughs and can even persuade demonic beasts to kill themselves.

If Shen Huai is useless, what does that make them? His sidekicks?

After hearing Shen Huai humblebrag, everyone in the sect says, "You really should die."

Only Xie Zhuohe, the beloved junior brother who was supposed to hate Shen Huai, and who goes straight for the kill, says, "Even if all of you die, Senior Brother mustn't die."

Everyone in the sect: "...Hopeless romantic. Get lost!"

Shen Huai lands a slap. You get the Eighteen Dragon-Subduing Palms.

*

After Shen Huai unexpectedly spends a night with his junior brother Xie Zhuohe, he promptly fakes his death and puts on the secret identity of a genius who established his foundation at age three, wandering around everywhere.

Xie Zhuohe goes mad searching for Shen Huai all over the world, but only finds a shrunken version of him.

Xie Zhuohe: "Senior Brother must have run off while pregnant. He isn't dead yet."

Shen Huai faints: "..."

Great, it's my junior brother. I'm beyond saving.

A frail beauty who doesn't want to live, receiving x an obsessive, hyper-competitive junior brother who's afraid his senior brother will die every day, attacking (a blood-spitting couple, both insanely powerful despite spitting blood)

1. Falsely hated by all, truly doted on by all

4. The protagonist, a half-dead genius with monstrous talent, keeps saying he might as well die, but his talent is heaven-defying and his golden finger is ridiculously powerful.

Theme: Being alive is the best gift of all.
