[Transmigration + Villain + System + Family + Political Scheming + Wish Fulfillment]
Xuan Yu transmigrated into the body of the Xuan family’s founding patriarch, in a remote little city of the Great Zhou Immortal Dynasty. Born with a demonic heart, he bound himself to the Villainous Patriarch System.
His eldest son has a Buddha’s bones and a demon’s heart, and joined Jinshan Temple to cultivate the vow of silence. His second son has a seven-orifice exquisite heart and runs the family’s underground network. His third daughter possesses an immaculate immortal body and is a core disciple of a reclusive immortal sect. His fourth son has a literary sage’s physique, with the power to make his words law.
Four children, each excelling in a different path: martial arts, commerce, immortality, and literature. Every one of them is top-tier.
After the new emperor ascended the throne, she established three departments to investigate the whole realm. The Xuan family came under scrutiny.
Xuan Yu set down his scissors. “What’s there to panic about? If she wants to investigate, let her.”
In three months, every account book, contract, and living witness had been wiped out.
The System issued a mission: use the imperial examinations to take down transmigrator Su Heng and help his fourth son win first place in the prefectural exams.
Su Heng’s essay in the examination hall triggered a holy-grade celestial phenomenon. Golden lotuses and auspicious clouds filled the city, and he seemed poised to rise to the top in a single bound.
Xuan Yu set his teacup on the table. “Qingyang, lock the heavens. Activate.”
The celestial phenomena vanished in an instant, and a bolt of thunder struck the examination paper, reducing it to charcoal.
The chief examiner slammed the table and sprang to his feet. “Su Heng! You cheated! Seize him!”
As Su Heng was dragged away, he was still dazed. Where was the script I was supposed to follow?
In the back courtyard of the Xuan residence, Xuan Yu continued pruning his orchids.
When you’re a villain, what matters most is keeping up appearances.
Guys, come in and dig for gold in the shit. If you don't come, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
The male protagonist kills decisively without being too invincible and boring.
