[Two male leads + transmigrate into a book + mutual salvation + scheming + two strong leads + nontraditional age gap]
Overworked office drone Bu Yushan died suddenly and transmigrated into the book as the villainous senior disciple who shared his name.
Before he could even savor the taste of power, he found himself standing before a tribunal. At his feet was his junior brother, the protagonist, a reborn, domineering demonic lord whom he was about to cripple and cast into the abyss.
With the sect's ironclad laws hanging over him, a reborn protagonist consumed by hatred, and an unseen hand pulling strings in the shadows, Bu Yushan had no choice but to work hard on his public image and desperately map out a path to survival behind the scenes.
“Your Dao heart is wavering? Then you'll have to pass my professional ethics training first!”
“Demonic energy has invaded your body? Let's align the granularity of your sword intent with that of the ancestral altar!”
Bu Yushan decides to make the most of his strengths, defuse the crisis with PR tactics, and use modern workplace principles to deconstruct the world of cultivation.
He wields thunderous methods to carry out merciful deeds, makes his moves in silence, and finds a way to survive when all seems lost.
But the junior brother who was supposed to tear him limb from limb, the demonic lord, is the first to realize something is wrong.
Fang Wuying: “...Who are you, really?”
Bu Yushan: “As you can see, I'm not quite the person you know.”
The two join forces amid life-and-death crises, and from the tiniest clues, uncover the truth: the trial that set off this tragedy was a trap designed specifically for them.
Bu Yushan makes his move: “This game is called ‘Luring You into the Trap.’”
Fang Wuying points his sword at the sky: “Why waste your breath? Just strike them down.”
