The Male Lead of the Starting-Point Novel Is a Sickly Beauty [Book Transmigration]

A seemingly innocent, considerate, calculating and worldly shou x A sharp-tongued, unruly gong who turns dark and becomes cunning and devious

Xiao Cha, a shut-in, transmigrates into a rise-from-the-bottom web novel as its useless, overpowered male protagonist and gets bound to a frail-body System.

Xiao Cha: I'm the male lead in a comeback story. Shouldn't I be tough-skinned, with such a strong fate that I could chop down a tree with my bare hands?

[You're a precious baby. You need to be cared for.]

*

The System: You need to build a harem! Three thousand beauties!

But Xiao Cha has no interest in romance and makes no effort to win anyone over. Unexpectedly, he still manages to attract every male supporting character in the book!

The System: You're the child of destiny. You'll lie low in the sect for three years. You'll be bullied nonstop during that time, but then you'll astonish everyone!

So Xiao Cha used his tea skills to get himself on the good side of his nemesis, successfully dodging a fate of being bullied by everyone and becoming the sect's pretty boy.

The System: You have to humiliate everyone, follow the comeback script, and tear the villains apart!

But all Xiao Cha wants is a peaceful life, lazing around like a salted fish and basking until he's dried out.

Song Liubai, a prodigy of the foremost immortal sect, initially treated Xiao Cha as a plaything.

He never expected that the two of them seemed born to oppose one another, making each other miserable at every turn.

Later, when Xiao Cha faked his death, Song Liubai's inner demon broke free. Only then did he fully realize the wicked thoughts that had been growing in the shadows.

His obsession had already driven him completely mad.

*

Early on:

Song Liubai puts a tracking talisman on Xiao Cha: Strange fellow. I'd better keep a close eye on him.

Xiao Cha is "confined" at Song Liubai's side.

Later:

Song Liubai sticks a hundred tracking talismans and teleportation talismans on Xiao Cha: This is just to keep watch over a criminal.

Song Liubai turns his talismans into living objects and has them lurk around Xiao Cha: This is just keeping watch...

Xiao Cha looks at the layers of talismans on him and the "little eyes" hidden in the shadows: …

Historical Danmei: The Soul-Body Master of the Overpowered Hero [Book Transmigration]

Character setup: An unconventional, timid shou x A possessive, ill-intentioned gong

Chen Ge wakes up one day and finds he's become the overpowered hero's master.

Chen Ge: So what? I'll still eat and sleep and get on with my life...

After learning he's a soul-body, Chen Ge cries, "What! I'm a soul-body, too? Someone else has to burn food for me to eat, and I have to cling to a living person to sleep... I want to swing on a swing, the kind where your neck swings!"

System: [Host, you forgot. A soul-body can't touch physical objects, so you don't have a neck. Also, you're an unregistered worker.]

*

To escape his sleepless nights and tasteless meals as soon as possible, Chen Ge sets out on a diligent career as an unregistered worker.

[Host, please raise the young Overpowered Hero until adulthood, and guide him to the pinnacle of life, ]

At that command, Chen Ge and the Overpowered Hero... no, a tiny little kid, stare wide-eyed at each other.

Wu Zhuqing was born of a union between a demon and a human. But after being switched at birth, he was abandoned in the middle of nowhere and taken in by villagers. His village was massacred when he was eight, and at nine he was taken in by a sect. A spirit-root test declared him useless, leaving him to run errands in the kitchen and endure cold indifference and bullying.

A textbook tragic childhood for an Overpowered Hero.

To Chen Ge, he looked like a young meal ticket who could fill his stomach.

He's the protagonist, after all. Sticking with him couldn't hurt. If Chen Ge sucked up to him now, would a future life of having food brought to him and clothes put on his back still be just a dream?

Of course, he had one nagging concern. He'd read too many stories on that green app about domineering love between masters and disciples, and for some reason it made him ache in a strange way. Where exactly did it hurt?

Chen Ge: I'm not telling.

Still, he firmly believed that under the "Chen's School" version of Three Years of Immortal Exams, Five Years of Ascension Compulsory Education, all that romance would disappear!

*

And so, in a thatched hut by the sect gate, Chen Ge devoted himself to following Wu Zhuqing around. During the day, he worried it was too hot and used the chill from his own body to walk Wu Zhuqing to school. At night, he worried it was too cold and turned into a will-o'-the-wisp to meet Wu Zhuqing after class.

He looked after Wu Zhuqing like this for eight years.

Then one calm day, Chen Ge stood on tiptoe and patted the Overpowered Hero's head, saying warmly, "Wait here for a bit. I'll go down the mountain and steal... Ahem, buy some cabbage. I'll be right back."

Wu Zhuqing, a head taller than Chen Ge, gazed at him inscrutably. He held a single-season men's paper outfit ready to be burned, and replied obediently, "Master, come back soon."

*

As Chen Ge was carrying two cabbages back to the sect, the System crashed

By the time the System had fixed the bug and Chen Ge returned to the sect, the thatched hut had already collapsed.

"The village children bully me, an old man, for being weak. Who tore down my thatched hut?" Chen Ge grumbled angrily as he repaired the hut with the cabbages in his arms, then waited for Wu Zhuqing to come back from class as usual.

Instead, a demon god radiating black energy appeared.

Chen Ge took one look and realized it was his dear disciple, Wu Zhuqing. Why had he gone off to "mine coal"?

Before he could even ask, soul-binding chains had wrapped tightly around his soul-body.

Wu Zhuqing chuckled. "It's been three years. Did you miss me, Master?"
