Dongfang Zhuo, a male student at a mediocre second-tier university majoring in agriculture, was unemployed as soon as he graduated. His only hobby in his spare time was reading novels.
If he had known he would transmigrate into Xiandi, a notoriously terrible novel masquerading as a power fantasy for male readers but actually centered on a heroine, just to become cannon fodder, he would never, ever have dropped it!
What an idiot of an author. A man writing a cultivation novel is one thing, and writing a novel for women is another, but why slap a male-oriented power fantasy label on it and call it Xiandi?
Was he trying to lure readers in just to kill them?
He wrote a transmigration-into-a-book story where a woman transmigrates into a cultivation novel about a domineering hero, becoming the hero's greatest rival, a villainess who kills without batting an eye.
The domineering hero is in charge of building his harem, while the villainess does all the wanton killing.
The author managed to cash in on readers from both sides.
The domineering hero and the transmigrated villainess fight over the title of Immortal Emperor, constantly struggling back and forth. It really is addictive!
At first, Dongfang Zhuo thought the supporting female character was just a villain.
Because the story started from the domineering hero's perspective and kept switching perspectives later on, he dropped it!
And then he transmigrated into it!
He was an insignificant illegitimate son from a collateral branch of the cultivation family Dongfang. The Dongfang family was the clan of one of the male lead's harem members. It was wiped out by the heroine, Lu Wensheng, who took the family's treasured heirloom.
And Dongfang Zhuo was reduced to ashes with a wave of Lu Wensheng's hand!
So he really was cannon fodder?!
On the first day after he transmigrated, the villainess was due to come and wipe out the family in one month!!!
The heroine was a demonic cultivator at the Deification stage, while he was a good-for-nothing with a Five-Element Spirit Root who hadn't even begun to absorb spiritual energy?!
What was he supposed to do?
Luckily, he awakened two talents: longevity first, accumulation second.
