After Our Fates Became Bound to the Villain

Ye Lingxuan transmigrates into a book and becomes a spirit herb growing in the mountains.

He was growing just fine at the bottom of a cliff, until someone fell down and bound their lives together: they would live and die as one, and Ye Lingxuan would grow as powerful as he became in his cultivation.

That person is the villain of the book, Luo Wuya.

Ye Lingxuan knows Luo Wuya's fate:

First, he is bullied by the disciples of his sect. Then his closest friend betrays him and pushes him into the Ten Thousand Demon Cavern, where he nearly dies. Just as he finally masters a cultivation technique, the domineering protagonist happens to pass by and forcibly strips him of his immortal bones, setting him on the path to becoming a demon...

After overcoming countless hardships, Luo Wuya becomes a great Demon Lord, only to die in the war between the immortals and demons. His corpse is even refined into a corpse puppet by the domineering protagonist, forced to serve tea and water all day.

He spends his whole life proving just one thing: the harder you try, the more miserable your life gets.

But what does that have to do with Ye Lingxuan, a plant that only needs to drink dew to grow?

Until Luo Wuya breaks through a cultivation level and Ye Lingxuan suddenly turns from a plant into a person, with no way to turn back?!

Oh no, he doesn't want to be human!

Luo Wuya: "Plant, hurry up and cultivate. If you don't cultivate after becoming a spirit, I can't advance."

Ye Lingxuan: "A plant is just a plant. Plants don't cultivate."

Luo Wuya: "Plants can't talk, either! Hurry up and cultivate!"

There's no way Ye Lingxuan is going to cultivate. Hasn't he seen how much worse things get when you try harder?

One day, Luo Wuya somehow gets his hands on a dual-cultivation technique.

He says, "Plant, you have two choices: cultivate on your own, or... cultivate with me."

What a cultivation maniac! Despicable! Shameless! Lewd!

Ye Lingxuan: I'll choose dual cultivation.
