Chronicles of Raising the Undead

[Purely evil protagonist] [No female lead]

Others read feng shui to change their luck. Shen Feng reads it to steal land.

He steals other people's feng shui treasures to raise his own bronze-armored corpses.

He is gentle and courteous, yet ruthless and merciless. He treats the living as clients and the dead as raw materials.

Until the day he digs up an ancient drought demon,

only to discover that the corpse-raising scheme he'd spent ten years putting together was all part of a game his master had set in motion before dying.

So he refines his master into a flying zombie and brings the drought demon home to raise as his daughter.

The Righteous Alliance comes knocking to discuss a partnership?

Fine. You can have a bronze-armored corpse, but you'll have to trade a yin vein for it and put your ancestral magical artifact up as collateral.

His rules have always meant that someone else is the one who loses out.
