108 Ways to Delete a Bad Ending [Quick Transmigration]

"World One is complete, World Two is updating~"

[The cover features the couple from World One] [The next story, "Puppy Pop Star and Childhood-Friend CEO Make Their Relationship Public," is listed at the bottom. Feel free to add it to your collection if you're interested~]

Here is this story's blurb:

Some regrets, after the wear and comfort of time, acquire a romantic filter. Years later, when people talk about them, all they say is a quiet, "I still can't get over it."

But some regrets only grow more intense, burning into obsession. Even if the mountains collapse and their flesh and blood are torn apart, they will do everything they can to make things right.

Is loving each other a misfortune? Was our meeting the start of this tragedy?

No. I will destroy the thorns of this fated tragedy and be with you again.

[Hello, dear Host. System 001 is delighted to serve you. A bad ending is about to trigger. Would you like to accept 001's help and change your fate?]

World One:

Pure-and-sultry fox demon top x ascetic monk bottom (who is actually sexually repressed)

Yun Zhenshuang x Bu Qingpan

The nine-tailed white fox had only just taken human form when he encountered a monk who felt neither joy nor sorrow and was cold and distant. The innocent fox only thought he was handsome, and seduced him in every way without realizing it.

The snow-white fox demon was naive and adorable, lively and full of spirit. He seemed to possess a purer kindness than the so-called "saint." And this "saint," so unlike an ordinary human, experienced human emotions for the first time because of the fox. The fox's laughter made him happy, and the fox's tears pained him. From the moment his emotions came into being, they all rested in the paws of one fox.

The monk's compassion, which led him to break his principles, ultimately sowed the seeds of disaster.

"Buddhas above, I ask you to look into your heart. Is your Buddhist heart unchanged?"

The monk lowered his head and, for the first time, defied that voice. "I am human too. I have the full range of human emotions and desires."

"Humans and demons are worlds apart! You will only hurt yourself and others. None of you will meet a good end!"

In the end, the monk let the fox go. But his anguished words, "Go. I never want to see you again," didn't bring them peace. Instead, they brought him the little fox's corpse.

All nine tails were severed. Its body had lost all warmth. Blood soaked its snow-white fur, and its smiling eyes were closed forever.

The little fox thought this was the fate he was destined for: repaying his debt of gratitude and severing their karmic ties.

[Host, will you accept my help and rewrite this bad ending?]

[He doesn't love me. Why should I keep forcing him?] The little fox gave a bitter smile, utterly desolate.

[You should see this.]

Then the little fox saw the monk, normally so composed and self-controlled, always impartial; the saint who had left the mortal world behind and transcended the mundane. Holding the fox's corpse, the monk slew gods, defied the Dao, and cultivated forbidden arts, going mad as he tried to bring the fox back to life.

World Two:

Proud, "obsessive" guitarist top x roguishly handsome, ruffian frontman bottom

Ji Fuxue x Yan Zhu

The relationship between the guitarist and frontman of Demon, a hugely popular masked band, had always been ambiguous. To their fans, they were either boyfriends or friends with benefits. Onstage, the frontman would casually touch the guitarist's legs and put an arm around his slim waist. Offstage, the frontman was even suspected of turning the details of their sex life into a song.

Then, one night, Demon abruptly disbanded. All their fans believed the frontman and guitarist had fallen out of love and become enemies, leading to the breakup of the entire band.

Strangely, every other band member eventually found someone new, but the frontman vanished without a trace.

And every song the guitarist released afterward was steeped in the bitterness of a "resentful wife" and the sorrow of a "widow" whose husband had died.

"If you don't come back soon, I'm going to fall in love with someone else."

In the darkness, the leather shoes that had always retreated into the shadows abruptly changed direction and walked straight into the light. Their owner's steps were hurried. He went up to support the beauty's drunken, unfocused head, lowering his eyes as he covered the other's alcohol-dampened lips. Possessiveness overflowed from his eyes. "You're mine alone."

[He gave up on me.]

[Host, countless misunderstandings have played out between you. Do you want to see the truth?]

World Three:

A mentally unstable exorcist top x a crazed Ghost King bottom

The famous exorcist was a very strange man. His hair was always messy, and he wore the same hooded sweatshirt and faded, ripped jeans every day. He also wore round, black sunglasses that made him look like a fraudulent fortune-teller. Even his face was that of an unreliable pretty boy.

But his ghost-hunting skills were truly first-rate, earning praise from everyone.

Little did anyone know, someone else was actually catching the ghosts. No, rather, it was a ghost doing the work.

Nor did anyone know that when the exorcist was ten, his family abandoned him after his eyes changed into "ghost eyes," and the Ghost King had raised him.

"Help me. I can't beat it." The exorcist spoke to the air, his face blank.

The Ghost King, floating in the shadows, stretched his lips into a huge, eerie grin. "Ask me properly, good boy."

"Please, Daddy." The exorcist answered without a hint of inflection or hesitation.

"..."

But even the exorcist would stare blankly and cry in the dead of night. "If you ever disappear too, I'll have nothing left."

[Host, System 001 is delighted to serve you. I can make...]

[You can turn me into a ghost? Great! I can't go on living, but I can't die either. I've been worried about that.]

[There's actually a more dignified way...]

World Four:

Gentle, easygoing young master top x calm, restrained, possessive bottom

5. The stories may not be written in the order listed here. I'll write whichever one comes easiest first.

"Puppy Pop Star and Childhood-Friend CEO Make Their Relationship Public"

Curly-haired, sweet puppy pop star top x cold CEO with a possessive streak bottom

Lu Xunxi x Yan Yuheng

Everyone in their circle knew that the Lu and Yan families were close, especially their children, who were inseparable and seemed like real brothers.

The Lu family's curly-haired sweetheart, adored by everyone, followed the Yan family's little ice prince around every day, calling him "big brother" this and "big brother" that, barking happily like a puppy.

"Yan Yuheng is the kindest, gentlest, most considerate person in the world! I like him best," Lu Xunxi said with a bright smile.

"Kindest, gentlest, most considerate"? Everyone who heard this description looked bewildered. They couldn't reconcile those words with the aloof, expressionless man whose face seemed to say, "The whole world is full of idiots. Talking to you is exhausting."

That was, until they saw the aloof, expressionless man around Lu Xunxi.

Lu Xunxi hung off Yan Yuheng while playing video games. Yan Yuheng indulgently held him around the waist with one hand and fed him fruit with the other.

At a banquet, Lu Xunxi tried a dish he didn't like and moved it aside. Yan Yuheng immediately reached over, took the leftovers from his plate, and put them in his own bowl. Then he handed Lu Xunxi a matcha mille-crepe he'd ordered just for him.

Someone beside them quietly asked Lu Xunxi, "Yan Yuheng eats the things you don't like?"

Lu Xunxi took a spoonful of matcha mille-crepe and put it in his mouth, narrowing his eyes contentedly. "Yeah. That dish was a little bitter, and I don't like it. Brother Yuheng isn't a picky eater. He's so great."

Was this really about being a picky eater?!

Then they saw Yan Yuheng arrange the peeled shrimp neatly on Lu Xunxi's plate and wipe his mouth with a wet tissue. His usually icy voice took on an uncharacteristically tender sweetness. "Eat more slowly. Don't choke."

Someone teased Yan Yuheng, "Are you raising him as your little sister? You treat him like he might break if you hold him too tightly, or melt if you keep him in your mouth."

"No." The usually taciturn boy rarely contradicted anyone, but he did this time.

Or perhaps it wasn't just that.

Some people thought Yan Yuheng's doting on Lu Xunxi was merely a childhood game boys played to show they had "grown up" and "become mature and responsible."

But the truth was, as they grew older, Yan Yuheng's doting became more and more boundless. When Lu Xunxi said, "Singing sounds so fun. I want to stand onstage and enjoy having everyone's eyes on me," Yan Yuheng shifted most of his business empire into the entertainment industry, all to support him and let him pursue his dream without distraction.

After Lu Xunxi debuted, everything went so smoothly it was almost unbelievable. Rumors that various powerful executives were keeping him as a sugar baby became rampant for a while. They were quickly suppressed each time, but still became ammunition for his haters.

Some media outlets even asked him point-blank, "How do you respond to rumors that more than ten executives are keeping you?"

Lu Xunxi blinked in surprise and smiled. "Where did you get that number? There's only one person keeping me, my big brother! Don't say that. He'll get angry."

Everyone knew that Lu Xunxi was an only child, so he didn't have any so-called big brother.

[Please. Where did this big brother come from? Is it trendy to call powerful men "big brother" now? How ridiculous.]

[No wonder he knows how to please powerful men. They keep throwing amazing opportunities at him. If he says something like that in front of the cameras, his sugar daddy must be thrilled!]

[But... Baby Lu never shows off and hardly talks about his family, but didn't someone dig up all kinds of little clues proving that he's a rich second-generation heir? He only entered entertainment because he likes singing.]

[His fans are still trying to save face. Gossip accounts say one celebrity is the rich heir of this or that family today, then claim another is a second-generation official avoiding a power struggle tomorrow. How many rich and powerful people are really coming into entertainment to have fun?]

But when a dating show aired, Lu Xunxi's mysterious "big brother," who had always kept a low profile, stood openly before the cameras and proved his haters wrong.

[Oh my god, his big brother is so handsome. They look perfect together!]

[Is this "big brother" the real kind? I'm going to ship them, ahhhhh!]

[The person above, this is definitely real. President Yan's eyes are glued to Lu. He hasn't looked away from him for more than three seconds. I doubt he even remembers the other guests' names.]

[I'm dying. How can a CEO have face blindness? Can he only recognize Baby Lu's face in the whole world?]

[President Yan's possessiveness is practically spilling through the screen. How does he remember exactly how many times Lu talked to other people and how many times he smiled?]

[He's so in love.]

[He is too.]

[Have you seen the trending topic, ladies? The couple I ship is actually real!!!!!]

Later, the fans found this interview from when Lu Xunxi's OST for a youth school drama became a hit:

The host asked, "Xiaolu, you're so handsome. You must have received lots of love letters when you were in school, right?"

Lu Xunxi smiled and wagged his finger. "Never~"

The host exclaimed, "What? How could that be?"

Lu Xunxi swayed a little, resting his chin in his hand with a bright smile. "Maybe it's because I have an amazing big brother."

"Senior, could you pass this to Lu Xunxi for me? I often see you two walking home together. You must be his older brother, right?"

"No." Yan Yuheng put both hands in his pockets and glanced sideways at the person. First he denied it, then contradicted himself for no apparent reason. "Sorry, my little brother doesn't date at his age."
