[Taking the Villain's Place] [Drama Queen] [Cunning] [Strong Motivation] [Foreknowledge Advantage] [No Female Lead]
After transmigrating into a brutal cultivation world, Lin Xu sees only one path forward.
He steals the villain's chance to join a sect. Being a kind man, of course he removes the villain without hesitation and joins the sect himself.
Who could have known that years later, the villain would drop to his knees the moment he saw him and call him "adoptive father"?
Villain: "Thank you, adoptive father, for that finger-point all those years ago. It saved me from the greatest calamity of my life!"
Lin Xu: ...No need to thank me. I did it out of kindness.
The protagonist sends a beauty to get close to him and pry into his background. But Lin Xu sets his sights on her inheritance technique, robs her outright, then pretends to have only just found out and leaves heartbroken. She feels guilty about it for the rest of her life.
He trades that inheritance technique for a new identity, transforming himself into an evil cultivator hated by the entire cultivation world. In public, no one puts on an act better than he does; in private, he's an expert at robbing people and devouring them.
In the end, everyone he used calls him a good person.
Lin Xu: ???
Me... me? Have I been pretending that well?
After the protagonist has had his opportunities stolen from him time and again, he finally begins to suspect Lin Xu and accuses him to his face of being an evil cultivator.
Everyone: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Seeing this, Lin Xu lets out a mighty shout: "Stand down, demon! You villain, surrender at once!"
Talk about turning everything upside down!!!
The main character's plot is nonsensical and organized. After reading so many things that made my brain hurt, I finally read a normal book.
