It's a rare female-oriented novel featuring a villainous cultivation protagonist and a disciple-taking system, slightly humorous, and definitely a masterpiece!

    The female lead is the antagonist. She is sent to Dongyu as a hostage. Various kingdoms are joining forces to carve up the Chen Kingdom. Mu Yan prioritizes her family's interests above all else; if the Chen Kingdom disappears, her family's power will vanish. Therefore, she stirs up trouble in Dongyu, preventing them from focusing on other matters. She is a truly beautiful, powerful, and tragic villain. She commits all the evil deeds of a villain, leaving no trace and eliminating any possibility of leaks. The male lead is also an antagonist, a rebel. Both the male and female leads are villains. I believe the male lead is a very deep-seated character. In his early interactions with the female lead, he subtly reveals his value. He is very patient and patient, developing feelings over time. He is initially captivated and admires Mu Yan, and his repeated tests bring even more surprises. At first, everyone only cooperates with Mu Yan for self-preservation, thinking he isn't as evil as he seems. However, he has always been evil. Gradually, he discovers that Mu Yan's evil is even more open and honest, so he intentionally or unintentionally unleashes his own wickedness towards her. The woman is quite the actor in public, blurring the lines between truth and falsehood. She's rather aloof, always smiling on the surface, but in reality, she looks down on everyone, considering them to be of a different class. Later, when she meets her match in Xie Yu, she uses him to disrupt Dong Yu. The male protagonist later anticipates this, believing their interests align. If the woman is wrong, then he is wrong too, though he doesn't care about right or wrong. He's incredibly patient to achieve his goals; both are ruthless and cunning villains. Mu Yan's goals are extremely clear, and she's willing to pay any price to achieve them. Her obsession drives her to a near-madness in pursuit of her objectives. She's willing to sacrifice anyone, including herself. Mu Yan's emotions are extreme; she's willing to give everything for those she cares about, but ruthless towards her enemies. Her love and hate are both intense, sometimes exhibiting a near-pathological possessiveness. Mu Yan's feelings for Xie Yu are complex; she admires his talent but fears his ambition. Mu Yan's methods are extremely ruthless; she is willing to sacrifice innocent people and even create chaos to achieve her goals. Her madness makes her extremely aggressive in power struggles. Her psychology is extremely complex, a mixture of rationality and emotion, causing her to switch between calmness and madness. Her madness is not without logic, but rather an extreme blend of rationality and emotion.
