After Faking My Death, I Became My Rival’s “White Moonlight”

Shi Qing transmigrated into a book as a favored son of heaven in the cultivation world. However, the system required him to play the role of a “love-brain” character who suffered from unrequited love for the original male lead. He had to show the male lead infinite indulgence and protection, which led him to become the arch-rival of the Leader of the Immortal Alliance, Xie Ciyou, a cold and decisive figure.

Ultimately, he even died on behalf of the male lead on the eve of the Great Immortal-Demon War.

After completing the plot and faking his death, he was reborn thirty years later. He had become a “useless person” with a frail body and low cultivation. This was fine with him; he could finally lie down and be a “salted fish” at peace with the world.

However, fate would not let him rest. When demonic energy caused a disturbance, he was caught in the disaster. The first person he ran into was his former nemesis, Xie Ciyou, who had once hated him to the bone.

In his past life, Shi Qing had frequently clashed with Xie Ciyou to protect the male lead. Now that he had fallen into his rival’s hands, the situation was dire.

The cold-voiced rival interrogated him, “Speak, what is your true identity?” Shi Qing trembled, attempting to make up a story to get away.

One night, he was pinned against the couch by Xie Ciyou. Passion was uncontrollable, and his breath was broken. He suddenly realized that Xie Ciyou’s so-called hatred was actually a desperate desire to grind him into his very bones and devour him.

The image of the pure, noble, and ascetic immortal was entirely false. Xie Ciyou was clearly a beast in disguise.

Xie Ciyou’s Perspective:

After being seriously injured in the Great Immortal-Demon War, he was rescued by his Master. During the years he spent in seclusion, he looked back on his life and realized he was always one step too late.

He did not recognize the heartbeat of his youth when he first met that person. By the time he understood his feelings, that person was already inseparable from another youth. When that person was in danger, Xie Ciyou only arrived in time to save him while he was dying. After returning from seeking medicine for him, he heard the news that the person was going to become a Daoist partner with someone else.

From then on, he was always a step behind. He was even one step too late to die with him, resulting in a lifetime of regret and unbearable pain.

One-sentence Summary: The cold rival is actually very competitive.

Theme: Stay true to your heart; kindness brings its own reward.
