Lin Jingxu transmigrates into a book, becoming a cannon-fodder villain who beats and berates the overpowered protagonist during his early years, only to be killed by the protagonist himself in the end.
[Don’t worry, Host. We’re a positive-energy System. Your mission is to help the protagonist, the overpowered hero, become the greatest cultivator in the world of cultivation. Once you succeed, you can choose to return to your original world.]
[According to data on similar cases, there’s an 80 percent chance you’ll become the protagonist’s one true love...]
Lin Jingxu gets it. If he treats Lou Fanxing well, he’ll survive, and someone will love him.
So during the seven years Lou Fanxing is thirteen to twenty, Lin Jingxu treats him well with effortless enthusiasm, and genuinely enjoys doing so.
The System says the mission is going smoothly, but something still feels wrong.
Lou Fanxing never says he likes him. Sometimes, Lin Jingxu can even see distance and disgust in his eyes.
Lin Jingxu sticks by the protagonist day and night, but Lou Fanxing won’t even let him hold his hand;
Lin Jingxu steps in front of the protagonist when danger strikes, but Lou Fanxing only calls him stupid and useless;
After Lin Jingxu steals a kiss while drunk, Lou Fanxing gets so angry he ignores him for seven days;
After Lin Jingxu gives it everything he has to get into the sect, Lou Fanxing chooses the Heartless Path without even discussing it with him...
Lin Jingxu is baffled. If Lou Fanxing cultivates the Heartless Path, will he really still love him?
He has to ask him and get a clear answer.
In a bamboo grove beneath the moon, the young man stands with his back to the light. He lifts Lin Jingxu’s chin with the tip of his sword and looks down at him coldly. “A wandering ghost from who knows where, shamelessly occupying someone else’s body.”
“You and I should have been even long ago. If you bother me again for no reason, I’ll treat you as an evil spirit the next time we meet.”
So Lou Fanxing doesn’t like him. He even hates him.
The blade draws a thin line of blood across Lin Jingxu’s neck, and he cries all night.
Suddenly, he wants to go home.
-
Lou Fanxing realized long ago that something was wrong with Lin Jingxu. How could someone who had been rotten to the core suddenly change?
By chance, he overhears Lin Jingxu talking to a System that no one else can see.
All that talk of liking and not liking is naive and ridiculous.
Until Lin Jingxu dies.
With the sword in his hand, he runs himself through the heart.
In that instant, Lou Fanxing’s eyes nearly split with rage. Did he just kill Lin Jingxu with his own hands...?
The Heartless Path shatters in his dantian, his spiritual energy runs wild, and the man frozen like a statue bleeds from every orifice like a demon.
Lou Fanxing seals Lin Jingxu’s corpse in his bedchamber.
Since Lin Jingxu liked him so much, he’ll grant his wish.
Whether he’s a wandering ghost or has gone to the underworld, Lou Fanxing will find him and keep him by his side forever.
[Warning! The original plot has deviated significantly...]
