The Beautiful Villain

Ye Nanque never expected that one day he would transmigrate into a cultivation novel and have to play a villain. The original character was the main antagonist, malicious, cunning, and cruel. Ye Nanque thought, "This villain is so one-dimensional." Ye Nanque disliked such a stereotypical villain, and so did the system.

He made slight modifications, adding a bit of "hypocrisy," "aloofness," and "collective honor" to the original character. Ye Nanque asked, "Should I target the weak protagonist from the very beginning? He's just a weakling now! Can't I pretend to show him a little care first?" The system judged: "Reasonable. Tag unlocked: Hypocrisy."

Ye Nanque continued: "Master has, after all, raised me for so many years. It's normal for me to harbor some subtle thoughts when Master is taken from me, and the limelight is stolen by him." The system judged: "Excellent, the character is well-rounded."

...Ye Nanque diligently followed the plotline, unlocking various character tags and improving reader satisfaction, until one day he woke up to find the half-demon protagonist, Mu Jiulin, kneeling before him. "Senior Brother is good in every way, except that his eyes have never held me."

"But it doesn't matter. I have a way to make Senior Brother stay by my side forever." Brother!! Who exactly is the villain between us??!! At this moment, outside the small tiled house in the forest, Master's sword tip touched the ground, radiating hostility, no longer the ethereal immortal of the cultivation world.

Ye Nanque counted his lit-up character tags like recounting merits: "Malicious, check. Hypocritical, check. Aloof, check. Fishing for compliments..." "Pure, pure and unblemished?" What the heck?!

"...Lifelong love??" A chill ran down Ye Nanque's spine. "...Everyone loves him?????????" "What are all these messed up tags?!"
