Villain Roleplaying System

He transmigrates into the cultivation novel he has just finished reading, becoming a cannon-fodder character who will be killed by the fated protagonist, Shen Qingci, with a single sword strike three chapters later. The System forces him to play the villain, snatch opportunities, sabotage plans, and rack up resentment, but lays down one ironclad rule: he cannot kill the fated protagonist, or his own soul will shatter first.

Jiang Xian doesn't risk his life. He does the math: if he can get someone else to wield the knife, he does; if he can put on an act, he does; if someone else can make the move, he never rushes in himself. He only wanted to survive until the end, but the deeper he investigates, the more he uncovers. Following a dark well in the sect to seven wells beneath the mountain, he discovers that his father, who died three years ago, was actually the previous guardian of the wells.
