As the biggest villain in the original book, her cultivation method relies on hatred points to grow; the more important the character in the plot, the higher the hatred points she contributes! Gu Gugu understands this. So she blinds the male lead, slaughters the second male lead's entire village, and eats the female lead's brother alive. Then she takes the two male leads as disciples, keeping them by her side and torturing them in various ways every day. She's always been good at drawing hatred. But how come these two disciples developed Stockholm Syndrome? Gu Gugu waved her hand dismissively, indicating that she doesn't raise fish in her pond. The third book features a female protagonist, Nanxian, who is self-serving. In this era of great strife, protagonists with divine destiny are everywhere. On the surface, she is a saintly and proud young woman, a cold and gentle white moonlight, but secretly she is a villain destined by fate. These so-called protagonists with divine destiny are just spendthrifts who will seize opportunities and kill their loved ones while they are developing! The protagonist declares: "She is a demon!" The world declares: "The saintly woman is kind and virtuous, possessing a pure and divine body, born with a heart full of love!" The false villain is arrogant, greedy, domineering, and ruthless. The true villain is of noble status, respected by all, holding the reins of power, and strategizing. The system: The ultimate goal is to become the world's number one villain! Nanxian: No, I want the world. I highly recommend these three books; they are all super good!!!
