    Summary

    "His Highness may call me anything he wishes."

    Xie Lian doesn't have the imaginative energy to conjure up anything meaningful for this stranger, so he says, "In that case, you might as well be Wu Ming."

    The ghost bows his head further. His shoulders sink slightly, less slumping and more settling into himself. It's like he likes the dehumanizing name.

    He says, "'Wu Ming' is perfect."

    Xie Lian's frown deepens. He tells him, "Pick a different one soon."

    _

    After Xie Lian is tortured in his own temple, he wakes up in the care of a freshly-formed wrath ghost. "Wu Ming" follows him home and, with his carpentry experience, medical knowledge, street smarts, and fighting skills, makes himself indispensable to Xie Lian's family.

    To protect Xie Lian from Bai Wuxiang, Wu Ming swears that he'll do whatever he must to get stronger, all the while becoming one more person that Xie Lian couldn't bear to lose.

    Summary

    Shen Yuan was a huge fan of the blockbuster action trilogy On the Proud Immortal Way -- at least until he transmigrated into it! Watching giant robots battle giant monsters was fun on the big screen, less so when he's sending his friends out to fight and die in those clashes. Now reincarnated as Shen Qingqiu, the head science officer at Cang Qiong Shatterdome, he'll do his best to protect his little white lotus of an assistant from that bloodshed -- but how long will he be able to keep the Protagonist away from his destiny?

    Summary

    Shen Yuan finds himself transmigrated into the last video game he played before his death -- the dungeon-delving, cult-building anthro hit game of the year, Immortal Lamb Crusader Way. Much to his dismay he finds himself in the role of the BBEG, the God of Death, He Who Waits -- Shen Qingqiu! Is there any way he can guide the protagonist, Luo Binghe, to level-up and victory without falling victim himself to the Lamb Crusader's blade?

    And why does he want to pet the Lamb's fleecy head so badly? He's not a furry, okay! He's not!
