Qing Yun (QY), a cultivator who managed to live a millennia despite a cong**ital disease and being suppressed/vilified by the Dao itself. He resists this and fights for his life against the 100th 'son of heaven' sent to kill him. Qy uses the moment the great dao personally attacks to absorb some of its power and escape to the first small world.

[collapse]1: Stallion "Modern Cultivator" vs Protagonists 'Little Brother' x Protagonists Little Brother; Ancient Martial Arts + Technology SpoilerQY becomes 18y old cannon fodder half-brother of the protagonist, 20y old Lin Yuhao. LY is the Dao's eyes and ears in this world. The set plot for this character is a stallion who collects little brothers as followers and sisters into his harem. He killed the Qing family to 'rescue' his mother and their wealth. QY pulls over a random in the lounge as cover. Nie Chenyuan (mid 20s?) is a little brother who would have his cultivation plundered by LY under the cover of being 'healed'. LY's road was smooth due to absorbing the wealth of the Nie family who could not resist his upgraded strength. NC quickly falls for QY and wakes up from the protagonist's influence, upending the original plot. NC successfully transitions the Nie family into the business world as Ancient Martial Arts fade out.
ROI (200y) : Plundered Protagonists Energy (E), Devoted Wolfdog 'Wife', Modern Knowledge, Business Knowledge, Collect High Technology World
[collapse]Interim: Qy spends 100y to consolidate absorbed energy2: Adopted Older Brother vs Golden Thigh x Younger Brother; Business World SpoilerQY enters the next world as drugged 2nd Young Master Xiao Chengnuo (XCn) in the midst of a tryst with his father's secretary. His older brother, Xiao Chengzhe (XCz), planned to frame his younger brother for r*pe. Luckily QY entered the small world before the pants could come off and crashes into the arms of his reincarnated lover, Zou Chen.
ROI (100y) : E, Big Pharma Knowledge, Collect Advanced Medical World
[collapse]3: Chuunibyuo Pirate Leader vs Cold Federation General x Orphaned Art Student Omega; Interstellar Omegaverse Federation MilitaryTrigger: Intense detailed torture that spans multiple chapters SpoilerQY takes over cannon fodder Jorah in the midst of a raid by interstellar pirates. The original J would have abandoned the 'unknown' old doctor to escape alone. Presumably this would have caused a tragic chain of events that resulted in many deaths. QY instead sends away Dr. Ramiel safely. The protagonist is the pirate Apollon, an abandoned illegitimate son of an Empire Princess and a Federation Official. His fleet Flamingo creates a weapon to wipe out the federation as his first step to taking over the universe as revenge. QY's lover in this world is Chris Delaware, the First Legion General who 'betrays' the Federation to join Flamingo as an undercover agent. He becomes QY's torturer until the mission ends. CD kills Apollon at the end of this painful week. J was abandoned by his childhood friend fiancé who chased a military omega. J's restored reputation causes the new omega to dump the scum man. Ironically the omega then decides to pursue J. The moment where J sings the national anthem in the middle of torture is particularly moving. The author shows much respect for the military and nationalistic ideals here, but it's handled okay. This arc is a interstellar fantasy setting and is NOT high-key disparaging of every country that isn't Z Country. The arc ends with a wave of positive change for omega rights. ML steals ownership of this smutty world from QY.
ROI: E, Interstellar Knowledge, Singing Talent (Temp?), IOFM World (usurped)
[collapse]4: Reborn Black Lotus vs Entertainment Company CEO x 18th-Tier Idol; Modern Entertainment Industry SpoilerQY is a bad actor whose beautiful face managed to balance a powerful six person harem. Reborn Bai Xiyan is angry at being scorned by Deng Yunqi, one of the six suitors. QY gets turned into a plaything in the plot as BX shoots to the top of the entertainment industry. QY meets a drugged Ning Qianyuan before the protagonist can take advantage. NQ misunderstands QY and has an extremely rocky pursuit. BX is played to the point he feels actual regret for letting his obsession overtake his chance at happiness. A little odd that no one in this arc seems to have parents or family. The way six suitors get tamed into legitimate fans is quite pleasing.
ROI: E, Acting Skills, Collect MEI World
[collapse]5: Cannon Fodder vs Destined Savior vs Omnipowerful Experimental Subject #3; Zombie Apocalypse SpoilerThis arc is a turning point for the main couple. They face many crises that have nothing to do with zombies. QY's soul strength rebounds and locks him to the memories of a toddler. QY's lover, the protagonist Shang Feng, has a bad impression of QY. QY feels mind r*ped by his younger self's sincerity. Saving this world requires sacrifice, etc. The antagonist is actually cannon fodder. QY is too focused on his anger at SF to care. These obstacles turn into a great catalyst for their feelings. QY prevents ML from snatching this world.
ROI: E, True Love, Collect ZA World
[collapse]6: Paranoid Power Usurper vs Fiancé's Father x Imprisoned True Heir; High-Tech Art-Starved World SpoilerShen Mingye is the orphaned son of a powerful family who can't see true face of distant relative Feng Fei Ming who steals both his rightful inheritance and his fiancé. SM retrieves his family seal from an underworld organization to overturn the plot. 40y old Ahaz Elmond finally seems to carry some memory of Qy into this world.
ROI: E, Screenwriting Skills, Collect HTAS World
[collapse]7: Third Prince vs Loyal General x First Prince; Ancient China SpoilerThe first prince is somewhat similar to QY as a persecuted misunderstood 'villain' who has been slandered by his third brother. The accomplished General loyal to the emperor supports the third prince per the degree. Plot derails when the General falls in love with the disguised QY and decides to rebel to push this 'gongzi' to the throne. The character of the emperor was nicely handled and this arc ended on an amusing note.
ROI: E, Political Skills, Collect AC World
[collapse]8: Spoiled Princess vs Dragon x Slum Boy Substitute; Fantasy SpoilerA continent attacked by demons is determined to call the feared guardian dragon Morris to drive off the invaders. They sacrifice the most beautiful in the land to the mad dragon searching for his 'treasure'. The princess' suitor is not okay with this, so he finds slum boy Joyce who has the same appearance and healing power as the princess to be a stand-in. ML reluctantly accepts his attraction to this 'female'. J saves the continent despite the princesses interference and becomes a deity. Dao has stopped overt actions, but the sneaky move to hide MC's gender caused a real issue. ML injured his soul causing psychological issues in his assumed character.
ROI: E, Collect Faith (F), Magical Knowledge, Goddess of Healing Identity, Collect F World
[collapse]9: Biological Son vs Ill Businessman x Adopted Music Child Prodigy; Modern SpoilerXiang Chengyu (XCy) learned violin in the orphanage and was adopted by a musician couple. They pushed for results to the point of ab*se. He is deaf in one ear due to a blow from his 'father'. The parents found their biological son Xiang Chengjin (XCj) and XCy discovered what true parental affection should look like. The indifference of his parents wore down his creativity and talent. XCj would steal XCy's compositions to show off to their parents. XCj intentionally approaches XCy's crush Wei Shiang. ML has mental issues again as 'Bipolar' Wei Changxiu. Author acknowledges differences between her story and the real BP disorder.
ROI: E, F, Violin Skills, Ownership of M World, Core of Heavenly Dao (?)
[collapse]10: System vs Starbeast x Abandoned Second Son; Interstellar World Cluster SpoilerThe dao takes a two pronged approach to eliminate one before they can save their partner. QY enters a dead body in a completely different way due to infiltrating a world out of his jurisdiction. He joins a competition that will allow him to meet the ML if he wins. The big truth: ML is a non-human emperor of a vast world created when he escaped the Dao's control as a former protagonist. The damage he did to the Dao is what made it target QY with such extreme methods. ML realized the Dao was up to something and disguised himself as a weapon at the side of the new target. He did everything in his power to protect the child without revealing himself to the enemy. He planned to help QY take back control and escape the dao as well. How their relationship developed once he was stripped of his memory was well beyond his expectations.
ROI: Complete ML
[collapse]11: Heavenly Dao vs Spiritual Sword Ming x Original Qing Yun; Back to Cultivation World SpoilerQY disguised himself as Yun Qing a promising genius to hide from the Dao. He must recover his soul source at all cost yet is confronted with some hard truths about his parents that he missed in his first life. Some help from his lover and the original person (?) in charge of the rules help him seize back control.
ROI: Freedom, Control of CW
