The Grass is Always Greener on the Other Side
Just a random fic idea I had while rereading Scum Villain's Self-Saving System(I had already posted a lads fic loosely inspired by svsss on AO3)
TW: Violence, Obsessive Behaviour
Imagine that you get transmigrated into the novel "Proud Immortal Wanderer Way" as the one-and-only Shizun (师尊) of the Main Character (MC), who is half-human and half-wanderer.
She is the most sincere student in your Flying Duck Orchid Sect, whom the original Shizun hated to the core.
OG! Shizun gave her the wrong instruction manual for cultivation and made her take up chores that were impossible to complete all by herself. They made the other older sect siblings, desperate for their attention, bully MC. They also made Xia Yizhou (Caleb), MC's sect brother, who was in love with her, watch all this unfold right in front of him, unable to do anything.
The final straw was when OG! Shizun accused the MC of conspiring with the Wanderer clan and kicked her into the Endless Deepspace Abyss.
However, this is when the protagonist's golden thumb activates.
MC breaks free from the Deepspace Abyss, goes emo, kills a bunch of wanderers and cultivators alike, captivates the hearts of hundreds of guys and girls, and establishes a harem of a little under a thousand (the approximate number amounting to 999.6). Among them, five are designated as main consorts, while the others serve as concubines
And after ruling the entire world, she sets her sights solely on crushing her beloved Shizun, who had tormented her day in and day out, all because of their pathetic jealousy.
OG! Shizun suffers the worst fate among all other enemies (even more than the final boss) as their limbs are dismembered, their tongue is ripped off, and their body is mutilated beyond repair, turning them into a human stick.
You shudder at the thought as you stress about how you're going to make it out of this mess alive and with all four of your limbs intact.
Thankfully, you have only transmigrated into the earlier part of the story. So the good news is that only 25% of the damage has been done by you to the young MC, and the bad news is that you have already dealt 25% of the total damage to the young MC.
At this point in the story, OG! Shizun had already given the fake cultivation manual to the young and unsuspecting MC, and also had the older students bully and harass her just for fun. To add to her suffering, she was in the punishment room after spending three days without food and receiving 25 lashes. Safe to say, you were screwed.
But the worst part of the transmigration is that you have a system attached to your hip, yapping on and on about earning enough social credits, winning the MC's trust, and pushing her off a cliff by the end of the prologue anyway, so that the story would move forward.
If you thought you were screwed before, you knew that you were BEYOND SCREWED now/
So, you, a twenty-something veteran otaku, formulate a plan to befriend everyone, play the part of the misunderstood Shizun, who cared for his sect siblings and students in their own silly little way, be nicer to MC (but not go Out Of Character because that'll just drop your social credits by a 100 for every slip-up) in your own way, push her down a cliff (but a little nicer this time so that she won't come back from hell one day and carve your face like a wooden doll), and then escape to the vacation home in a quiet village, that you'll build before she returns, to enjoy your remaining days in peace (doesn't matter that you're now an immortal cultivator).
But where did you go wrong?
Because why is the MC obsessed with you now?
Why is she jealous of all the men and women with whom you're friendly?
And not just her—The Demon Lord, Qin Che (Sylus); The dramatic painter from the fallen Lemurian clan, Qi Yu (Rafayel); The youngest Sect Leader, Li Shen(Zayne); The mysterious rogue cultivator, Shen Xinghui (Xavier); and your own student and beloved sect junior, Xia Yizhou(Caleb)—all five of these not-so-gentlemen, who are part of the MC's harem, are also equally obsessed with you.
