The Goofy Top Perfectly Avoids Every Angsty Plot Point

Qi Yueyou was unexpectedly struck by a book. He opened it and found that it was about how Duan Wenzhuo loved him but couldn't have him, then became obsessed and resorted to forceful possession.

After reading it, Qi Yueyou wore a peculiar expression.

Duan Wenzhuo was his junior fellow disciple, and the greatest prodigy in the cultivation world: cold-hearted, aloof, and surrounded by enemies and jealous rivals.

Their relationship was indeed all right, but only because Qi Yueyou shamelessly made the first move and cozied up to him. It wasn't that Duan Wenzhuo liked him. He merely tolerated him for the sake of their shared sect.

But refusing to believe a word of the book was one thing. Not stirring up trouble would be another. He promptly decided to show the book to Duan Wenzhuo himself and see how he would react.

Duan Wenzhuo's reaction was certainly something to behold. He was clearly angry, and even pressed Qi Yueyou for the book's source.

The culprit, Qi Yueyou, immediately put on a show of consoling him. "Those mediocre people are just making things up because they're jealous of you. They're not worth getting upset over!"

Unexpectedly, Duan Wenzhuo said, "It's not made up."

Qi Yueyou stared at him in shock. "Don't tell me you really have designs on me?"

Duan Wenzhuo: "..."

Qi Yueyou understood. Qi Yueyou saw the light. A whole new world opened up before him, and he began recklessly testing the limits of Duan Wenzhuo's patience.

Someone confesses to Duan Wenzhuo? Reject them on his behalf.

Someone confesses to me? Ask Duan Wenzhuo what he thinks.

We're out on a trial and there's only one room left at the inn? If you don't mind, let's sleep together.

I'm a demon? Duan Wenzhuo, cover for me...

Years later, Qi Yueyou spoke from the bottom of his heart:

"Once, true love was right in front of me, and I didn't cherish it. If Heaven gave me another chance, I'd say three words to Duan Wenzhuo."

"A Zhuo, I don't want to work hard anymore. Let's cultivate together!"

"What do you mean, that's not three words? Does it matter?"
