I Became the Male Lead's Golden Finger in a Male-Oriented Novel

What should you do when you become the golden finger of a male lead in a male-oriented novel? Jiang Yuan decides to raise him into a failure.

She gives him incomplete techniques, pill recipes missing key ingredients, and deliberately teaches him the most roundabout ways to cultivate.

As long as he never reaches the summit, she won’t have to be sacrificed.

But she never expected the male lead to be a monster.

He took the incomplete technique apart and put it back together, creating spiral spiritual energy of his own.

When a pill recipe lacked ingredients, he used the cheapest substitutes, and the pills turned out even more potent.

She taught him detours, and he turned them into shortcuts, advancing even faster than he did in the original story.

Most absurdly, when he discovered she had been sabotaging him, he didn’t cast her aside. Instead, he protected her even more fiercely.

During battle, he sealed her away in the safest place. Every day, he warmed her torn pages with his body heat. When people from the Heavenly Dao Palace came to take her into custody, he stood in their way with his sword drawn. “I’ll change the fate written for her.”

“Are you crazy? I’m a book.”

“Then I’ll marry a book.”

When the tribulation of ascension arrived, the Heavenly Dao demanded that she be sacrificed. She prepared to accept her fate, but he seized her burning pages.

“If you burn, then we burn together.”
