I Became the Villain, but I Want to Be a Simp

It's a good read, and up to chapter 23 it's all very good. It's not a traditional transmigration cultivation novel. The male lead has a tough time, but it's not too bad. Personally, I don't think the negative aspects are that bad; there are just a few minor twists and turns. I really like it.

To give you my opinion, I feel Ye Chen is gay.

I found this on my watchlist, it's quite good. But why did it stop updating? Also, is the female lead's surname Ye? Is she a woman disguised as a man?
