The Male Lead Is Always Coveting the Second Male Lead

[Preorder for the historical xianxia novel The Aloof Rival Turns Out to Be a Dark, Twisted Lunatic]

[50% anti-piracy protection. Main story complete. Bonus chapters are being updated; the rest of the time I'm fixing typos.]

After dying, Weisheng Zhen transmigrates into an unfinished novel, becoming the doomed second male lead, the white moonlight who dies young.

In the book, the second male lead dies in his prime. He'd hoped that after transmigrating, he could defy fate, brave every obstacle alongside the male lead, shatter the void, reach the pinnacle of life, and earn the admiration of countless people. He never expected that the outcome would be right, but the process would turn out... a little strange.

Who knew that the obstacles he'd brave would be the male lead's clothes, while the red string of fate he'd cut would be his own?

Li Changshuang seems born for the sword.

Cold-hearted and indifferent, he seems to care about nothing but his sword.

Until he discovers Weisheng Zhen's secret.

Until Weisheng Zhen is the only person left in his eyes.

#So what if I used to be a character you made up? The person you see now is nothing like the one you wrote. #

#In the past, you loved only the version of me you wrote. From now on, you'll only ever fall for me. #

Little scene one:

Weisheng Zhen, wide awake and excited in the middle of the night: The male lead's awake too. Come out for a walk, quick!

Li Changshuang: It's so late, and he still wants to spend time with me. I must be in his heart!

Little scene two:

Li Changshuang's anonymous bragging post: This was so hard! I finally met the person I've been longing for, and I never expected him to not only watch me while I cultivate, but also invite me to bathe in the hot springs with him. He even said he wants to sleep with me! Where can I propose without it being too awkward? I'll wait here. It's urgent!

Little scene three:

Weisheng Zhen, completely oblivious: The male lead's been looking at me more and more intensely lately. I get it, it's because my cultivation has been advancing by leaps and bounds! See? Even a second male lead can defy fate if he cultivates hard enough. One day, I'll rise to become the male lead!

Li Changshuang's inner monologue: He's so adorable!! I want to cuddle him!!

A cool, steady, love-addled top who's already gone dark in his head countless times x a wonderfully oblivious bottom whose mind is full of career ambitions

My take on cultivation. A couple fights monsters together, and cultivation levels inflate like crazy. I love the clingy, sweet everyday life before they become a couple.

My writing isn't great. If there's a problem, please blame me, not my protagonists. Thank you.

Pretty x handsome. Childhood friends x childhood friends.

Older top. Happy ending.

Here's a preorder: Why Is There a Health Bar Above My Head?

True aloof beauty top x fake aloof beauty, actually max-level gorgeous bottom

On an utterly ordinary day, Lu Fengyi suddenly wondered why, over the past dozen years, so many more people had been trying to assassinate him, and so often.

He was already the number one cultivator in the entire cultivation world (which was true), the most beautiful person alive (there couldn't possibly be anyone better-looking), and the number one aloof beauty (an act). Surely everyone ought to treat him with the utmost respect.

With that question in mind, Lu Fengyi went through one utterly ordinary day after another, fending off challenge after challenge from ordinary people.

Then one perfectly ordinary afternoon, a large group caught him off guard and actually managed to hurt him. Lu Fengyi suddenly noticed a health bar above his head, showing that he had 99.9% HP remaining.

Lu Fengyi: ?

What the heck?!

The Oracle Ruins is a full-dive game that has taken the world by storm over the past decade or so. It is beloved by everyone across the stars, from three-year-olds to three-hundred-year-olds. Its selling points are an authentic xianxia world, the most intelligent character interactions, and an incredibly immersive gaming experience, earning it legions of fans throughout the stars.

Aside from its unique gameplay and lifelike interactions, what people talk about most is:

#Help! The hidden instance, Divine Sect??? Is way too hard! I've been fighting forever and haven't even seen his health bar. I'm desperate. Is this really a raid boss someone could design? #

#Great! Another day of capturing Lu Fengyi's beauty on screen. #

#I want to be Lu Fengyi's dog! #

Then one day, a game bug let the players who entered discover...

The game they were playing didn't seem to be just a game.

The Oracle Continent is divided between the immortal and demonic factions. The Divine Sect and Oracle Sect belong to the immortal faction, which stands against the demons. Lu Fengyi, an elder of the Divine Sect, has always had one person he can't stand.

That person is Xianzhi, the Oracle Sect's youngest elder, who in Lu Fengyi's eyes is vain, convinced of his own beauty, and ridiculously conceited.

That guy could easily top Lu Fengyi's list of most hated people: he always looks at Lu Fengyi with a gloomy gaze; whenever they meet, he has to greet him as if proclaiming himself the most beautiful man alive; and whenever his cultivation improves, he comes over to brag about it to Lu Fengyi.

But what makes Lu Fengyi angriest of all is that Xianzhi once talked behind his back, saying he'd never even considered being friends with him.

And Lu Fengyi heard him!

How could he let that slide?

After learning about it, Lu Fengyi went straight to confront him, but...

That guy had a full affection meter and an unspeakable value floating above his head. No way that was real!!
