I'm Not the Protagonist

I'm Not the Protagonist

After who-knows-how-many years of transmigrating into a book, Chu Chenbi finally realized he was inside a novel.

He stared at the storybook he'd casually tossed onto the table. "The Misty Record of the Jade Pivot (Volume One)?"

On the Tianyan Continent, the peerless Jade Pivot Diagram could draw upon the power of the stars. After it was split into seven pieces, seven people were entrusted with guarding them on behalf of the "Beichen." However, after several clashes between the righteous and demonic factions, Beichen gradually faded from people's sight, and the Jade Pivot Diagram became little more than a "legend."

This novel told the story of a new generation of Beichen, who went through countless hardships to gather the scattered pages of the Jade Pivot Diagram and summon the power of the stars to fight the demonic faction.

Of course, the protagonists were Beichen's seven members.

Even though the author had only finished the first volume, Chu Chenbi knew full well that the protagonist team would ultimately emerge victorious.

Chu Chenbi's expression was unreadable. He let out a mocking laugh. After transmigrating for years, it had taken this storybook, which had mysteriously appeared in his room, to remind him that his transmigration wasn't ordinary after all.

So he'd transmigrated into a book?

In that case, was he, the Demon Palace's Protector, second only to one and above tens of thousands, actually the target the protagonists would set out to defeat later on, commonly known as... the villain?

How interesting.

"So what if I'm not the protagonist? I... have my own path."

As he moved, the full moon inlaid in the folding fan in his hand suddenly glowed with a soft blue light.

Yan Zhihui: "Knowing darkness, yet becoming light." Heh... If he can see the darkness in everyone but not his own, what kind of understanding is that?

Shen Kongqing: You'll always be one of us. Why put yourself down like this?

Chu Zhaoyang: Once, I defended the borders of the Great Zhou. Now, the spear in my hand is only for protecting all the people under heaven. Let killing put an end to killing!

Su Zhenliu: The world is vast. Making a home wherever I go sounds pretty nice.

Pei Zhaoye: Destiny... What is destiny? It cannot be changed by human effort. But I refuse to believe in fate!

Yun Yingbai: Fellow cultivator, listen. Hahahaha! The mountain wind whistles. Heaven and earth are laughing at my madness.

Yan Mingyi: Brother, you've always been the one to teach and guide me, so...
