Reborn as a Monster's Child, How Did I Become the Savior?

[Villain + nonhuman faction + hypocrite + powerful minister + magic cultivator + part political intrigue]

[An unconventional savior: one on the surface, but in reality...]

[Slow burn. If something doesn’t make sense early on, there’s a good chance I’m setting up a plot point]

[One female lead, same villain type. Neither spouse is a good person]

Warning: [The male lead is nonhuman and there will be cannibalism] [Not cosmic horror, really. Please stop asking]

[Not a wish-fulfillment novel, but he never lets a grudge go. He kills decisively when he has the power to do so, and when he doesn’t, he’ll wait ten years to get revenge]

Yan Boyu waited fourteen years for a golden finger that never came. Instead, he nearly got eaten by his own mother.

It turned out she was a monster hiding among humans.

Yan Boyu looked at his pitch-black snake tail.

Yan Boyu: Oh! So am I!

Monsters were creatures that fed on humans, lurking in the world and moving among people. They were humanity’s natural enemies.

Yan Boyu’s identity as a monster was accidentally exposed, and he killed his mother in self-defense.

He thought he would become a fugitive, forced to hide wherever he could. Instead, he was coerced into joining the Demon Hunting Bureau.

This was the beginning of his journey into the imperial court and the martial world.

Internal strife and external threats, factional rivalries at court, turmoil in the martial world, and unpredictable twists of fate.

He continued to navigate the world of power, rising and falling amid the vast heavens and earth.

This was a game for schemers.

As expected, nothing was more terrifying than the human heart.
