#Let's Talk About That Guy Who Transmigrated to Pursue Me

[ultimateshixiongfuckertournament]

Round 1, Match 12: Jian Yi vs Yin Feixing

Match 12 is between Jian Yi (shixiong: Wen Xuan) from Let's Talk About That Guy Who Transmigrated to Pursue Me vs Yin Feixing (shixiong: Dongfang Xianyun) from My Sect's Senior Disciple Has a Hole in His Brain

Propaganda under the cut

Jian Yi:

He literally transmigrated just to support (and later date/fuck) his shixiong!!!

Yin Feixing:

Demonic cultivator Yin Feixing was reborn after his death, and swore to take revenge on his shixiong Dongfang Xianyun who killed him in his previous life - what's more romantic than obsessively wanting to kill the guy who killed you previously? In their second lifetime, Dongfang Xianyun is now a transmigrator with a very different personality, and Yin Feixing himself isn't sure whether he hates this guy or loves him anymore. (pls note: while I've selected "no" for canonical romance as their source material isn't explicitly BL, there's heavy romantic subtext/hints between DFXY/YFX - in their previous life as enemies they would meet once a year on Qixi/Chinese Valentine's Day even after becoming enemies, they're directly inspired by the characters from the fable of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl who are star-crossed lovers, and the author (a self-confessed fujoshi) has drawn some pretty explicit art of them.)

Have You Read This Web Novel?

Wen Xuan was the head disciple of Water Cloud Sect’s sect leader. He spent the first half of his lifetime respecting his teachers and placing importance in the way of Dao. Friendly towards other fellow disciples, he was everyone’s role model. He once believed that he would spend a lifetime like this. Until one day, he met a younger fellow disciple (shidi) who was unbelievably skilled. This shidi told him that this world was actually a novel. And he, Wen Xuan, would become the most unsightly, petty little villain in this leveling up style cultivation novel. With the next half of his lifetime on a bumpy spiral downward after an erroneous decision, he will be betrayed and deserted by friends and family, cast away and end up dying miserably alone. “After dinner for leisure, many people would use a mocking tone of disdain to discuss your disastrous life. But no one knew how you survived through all those years. No one saw how you struggled to hold on to your principles in your lonesome. No one cared about the suffering you experienced and your perseverance. But I saw it. I know. I care.” “That’s why I came to this world. To become your support.” - Novel Updates

Okay I know I already made a poll but I'm still torn, so I'm going to be more specific about the general plots of the transmigration stories floating around in my head. Note that in each, it's a reincarnation that suddenly recalled memories of another life. The OG will be present to some degree but it's handled a little differently in each. All are fix-its.

NYY version: (Mostly follows the plot.) I do NOT want to pretend to be a teenager that is SO awkward UGH. Young man, you should be calling me auntie--do NOT get a kink about it--UGH!!! These kids seriously need some guidance, and a discussion on consent, and sex ed--Shizun! Shizun I have Opinions on how things are done around here and I WILL cry, okay. I will cry so much.

Washerwoman version: Okay, so I can save the world by saving my son by saving SQQ. Actually I need to change some other things too to make my son's life suck less but I'll pretty much have to do it through SQQ, who will figure out eventually that it's for my son but by then he'll be invested. First step: is Cang Qiong hiring?

QHT version one: Turns out my dear older brother who raised me is a dumbass teenager self destructing in multiple directions at once and won't listen to anyone. Direct attempts to intervene WILL backfire and I must continue to pretend to be 12-14 and oblivious. How can I protect Xiao Jiu and others, and keep Jianluo from driving us into the ground? I am baby but I need Power.

QHT version two: Woke up after fainting in the fire with new memories. Better than total despair I guess? Let's just put all that aside for now and see what we can do. Yue Qi will be coming by soon and I'll have to tell him the truth AND convince him to get backup instead of immediately trying to pursue Xiao Jiu. There is also so much stuff to sort out regarding the remains of an estate I don't particularly want at this point, but neither do I want my shitty relatives to get it. No one wants to investigate the demonic cultivator I'm sure is responsible besides Yue Qi, which is both suspicious and annoying. Xiao Jiu only killed the people between him and the exit, so where did everyone else go? Also there is so much legal stuff I have to read up on and no search function, and who's this random cultivator poking around? Lady, I met you once when I was ten. We're not friends.

QHT version three: (This one has the most original content, and canon characters won't show up for a while.) Woke up after a qi deviation a while after the fire. Shizun is acting suspicious. Actually a lot of things are suspicious, but Haitang only noticed some of it because she was 14, and raised by a controlling guy that lied to her constantly and got everyone else around her to do the same. The sect itself seems okay but Shizun won't let me pursue justice, or information, or leave the sect, or talk to anyone outside the sect besides my shitty extended family that seized control of my inheritance until Shizun decides I'm ready for it. Interesting! I have Tragedies To Prevent but first I'll have to extract myself from these weirdos.

[minsarasarahair]

If I have to choose which one moment I can think of is the scene when LouZuo fall hard to each other for first time, its these. I'm not saying this is the reason why they are pursuing each other but more like the starting point where they begins to fall in love with each other.

Lou Zhu's first fall. When this scene happened, the text didn't reveal that Zuo Yunqi is smiling. We only found out that Zuo Yunqi is actually smiling in the mainstory's last chapter, from Lou Zhu's perspective when Lou Zhu tried to reminisce it. From this, we can say that Lou Zhu probably fell for Zuo Yunqi's small gesture of giving gift and smile. The gift is small but its the thoughts that counts and if its used for the right place it can make a big impact. Its a good metaphor for Zuo Yunqi's feelings. His feelings look small as if its just a mere like but his love language is actually really big. The gift is like Zuo Yunqi's budding feelings for Lou Zhu and Lou Zhu's reaction to that is to treat the gift carefully even if Zuo Yunqi tells him to sell it. Isn't that so cute??? The rich guy with business mindset who love money is refusing to sell Zuo Yunqi's gift.

The spy said in the midst of chaos "When I met Mr. Zuo he was still conscious and left a message." Lou Zhu stared at him suddenly and said: "Speak." The spy scratched his head: "I didn't quite understand it clearly... He was talking about fragments... a gift... asking if you sold them..." Zuo Yunqi had just unveiled Zuo Dao's plot back then and he opened his palm towards Lou Zhu. In his palm was a small piece of Naihe incense pill. Zuo Yunqi said: "The market price of this incense is scary. I thought I would keep some. It's too little to use for medicine but can be sold for a lot of money." Lou Zhu was confused and asked, "Why are you giving this to me?" The young man with indifference expression then smiled and said "Don't I have to pay a rent to live in your Best Tower?" Lou Zhu turned his head and looked at the unconscious Zuo Yunqi on the bed saying in a daze "No. I didn't sell it. I have kept it with me all this time." - from No Medicine chapter

Zuo Yunqi's first fall. Zuo Yunqi tried his best to not let his guard down and show no trust to Lou Zhu because of the fear Lou Zhu will interrogate or torture him to death for information. He can't tell his real motive yet to make his plan work. But what he get is a genuine smile from Lou Zhu who tells he's willing to trust Zuo Yunqi without any basis. I think Zuo Yunqi probably like that Lou Zhu is a bad man from the outside but still has sincerity and vulnerability inside him if you look deep into him because it reminds him of himself who was raised to do evil deeds but deep inside he's actually questioning why he always felt he don't belonged with his peers. Also, Lou Zhu's smile probably destroyed him lol. The fact that he's lying to the person who decided to trust him and risking their position to help him for his agenda, yeah. Zuo Yunqi's thought process is definitely like "No matter what he do or say, don't ever give in! You work hard for this plan! *LZ smiles* Damn it!!!"

Lou Zhu said: "There's an indescribable familiarity about you but I can't figure it out yet." The secret room was very cramped and the two stood to each other very closely. Lou Zhu took a step closer to him with expresionless face, and Zuo Yunqi took a step back by instinct. Lou Zhu said: "Maybe you really are a transmigrator, but you don't want to tell the truth because of your circumtances." Zuo Yunqi kept silent with caution. Lou Zhu took another step closer. Zuo Yunqi had nowhere to retreat. His back was against the wall. He looked up and stared at Lou Zhu, like a trapped beast with its fur standing on its end. Lou Zhu said: "Maybe you are telling the truth. There was indeed a transmigrator who taught you." Zuo Yunqi vaguely heard hope of life from his tone, but he suspected that this was some kind of trick, and for a moment he couldn't think of the next step. Lou Zhu suddenly smiled and said: "I hope you can tell me one day." Zuo Yunqi was stunned in the spot. Lou Zhu already turned around and said: "I have no reason to believe you but I still believe in you. If you can fool me, fooling the emperor shouldn't be a problem." Zuo Yunqi was surprised and asked: "What?" Lou Zhu said: "I will send you to the palace tomorrow." Zuo Yunqi looked up in disbelief. - from Medicine chapter

i might end up reading a few books before finding something worthy of actually liveblogging it. lets see

[mswynter]

@mythbookworm18 I think I found it again. Let's Talk About The Guy Who Transmigrated To Pursue Me. I read it awhile ago and I can't remember where . Can't remember much of it. I think it was only the second danmei I read.

Whenever i'm close to forgetting how much perspective actually matters i just remember that if Scum Villain was written from Luo Binghe's pov it would be the most gut wrenching danmei with one of the most confusing romantic leads ever. Like, we'd be seeing first hand Luo Binghe's descend to madness, Shen Qingqiu seemly fickleness, we'd be experiencing Luo Binghe's jealousy towards everyone in his shizun's life, his time in the abyss, Shen Qingqiu sacrificial death and ressurection. We'd be having fandom wars to see which interpretation of Shen Qingqiu was actually accurate, if he was truly dense or if he just likes playing with other's feeling and we'd all be raging bc we would never receive the closure of knowing why Shen Qingqiu did all that he did

Round 2, Match 6: Sakura Matou vs Jian Yi

Match 6 is between Sakura Matou (shixiong: Shirou Emiya) from Fate/Stay Night vs Jian Yi (shixiong: Wen Xuan) from Let's Talk About That Guy Who Transmigrated to Pursue Me

Propaganda under the cut

Sakura Matou:

She has been experimented on, tortured and abused since she was a child, a character broke down after experiencing a single day in Sakura's life. Literally her only lifeline in this world is her senpai Shirou, whom she fell in love with because of his determination. She visited his house every day to help with chores to the point Shirou gave her a key. She is only happy when she's with her senpai, any other time she's gloomy and people avoid her.

In her route she sleeps with Shirou (making her an actual senpai fucker) in an act that reclaims her agency over her body. Also on this route, she's being possessed by All The World's Evil and if Shirou agrees that is best to kill her, Sakura completely gives up and lets herself be killed. But if Shirou doesn’t agree she fights to stay alive despite her massive suicidal ideation, but this also make her emotions more unstable, eventually leading her to be fully corrupted and she turns completely yandere over Shirou. Eventually Shirou saves her at the cost of his body and Sakura resolves to wait for her senpai. In the true ending they get to have a life together, in the normal ending Sakura would wait for him her whole living, still living at his home and planting flowers.

Please please vote for my girl, she has suffered more than anyone and she loves Shiro so so much.

Jian Yi:

He literally transmigrated just to support (and later date/fuck) his shixiong!!!

Characters: Mobei-jun and Shang Qinghua

Submission 1:

They've known each other since teens and well into their thirties before getting together. And it's difficult to tell for MBJ, but Shang Qinghua had considered him his ideal man the entire time! 

Submission 2:

Airplane has been pining for MBJ since /before the universe was even created/… he has pined for him desperately and also just been desperate in general for two (2!) lifetimes, not to mention that MBJ has been trusting in and helping sqh out since basically the very first time they met as TEENAGERS and now they are like… At Least 50,, probably older to be honest .

Reading Challenge 2022 (6/20):

Let’s Talk About That Guy Who Transmigrated to Pursue Me ( 谈谈那个穿进书里来追我的家伙 ) by 莫晓贤 (Mo Xiao Xian)

Wen Xuan, head disciple and all-around admirable guy, meets Jian Yi, a suspiciously talented younger fellow disciple who swears that all he wants to do is take care of Wen Xuan. A yandere transmigrates into the novel of their obsession in hopes of changing the other’s tragic fate. 

A quick read, although the ending feels a bit rushed. The focus is very much on Wen Xuan’s adventures and his character development. There is a larger world out there, but Wen Xuan is only a minor character in the original story and Jian Yi is determined to keep Wen Xuan out of any of the danger, ultimately to both of their detriment.

While Jian Yi wins Wen Xuan’s trust, he never truly trusts Wen Xuan in return, manipulating him, lying to him, keeping him in the dark until the very last moment. While Wen Xuan took a while to see it, the reader can tell right away that Jian Yi has Tendencies, and those Tendencies become more and more violent as his actions go ignored, explained away, and unchecked.

There is a resolution and a happy ending. Wen Xuan realizes that while Jian Yi did him great harm, he still cares for him. As for Jian Yi, he comes to terms with his yandere issues and is able to take a step towards healing from his past hangups and growing as a person the same way Wen Xuan was able to.

theres a lot going on in the "genre" svsss is in its danmei+harem novel villain transmigration+xianxia+nianxia+system+probably I forgot something. i havent read all of them but some others similar: The Transmigrated Senior Martial Brother, It’s Not Easy Being a Master, A Smile from the Villain, The Villain Has Something to Say, Let’s Talk About That Guy Who Transmigrated to Pursue Me (also yandere ml subversion)

Oooooh, EXCELLENT, thank you!! This is legit my favorite strangely-specific genre, and novelupdates makes it real hard to search by multiple tags at once. I think one or two of those made it onto my 'marked for later' list on there, but I definitely don't have all of them. These are going way up high on my reading list, thank you!

I just offered Wen-shixiong the world, so I don't know where the rest of y'all gonna live, but it can't be here.
