Lian Yu awakens.
He discovers that he is a hypocrite who speaks sweetly while plotting treachery in a cultivation novel about a heaven-defying protagonist, and that the protagonist is his most-hated junior brother.
They both become disciples of the Canglan Immortal Venerable. Jealous of his junior brother's outstanding talent, Lian Yu repeatedly tries to harm him, only to be exposed by the protagonist's friends, abc, who despise him. In the end, everyone turns against him, and he dies after going mad from cultivation deviation.
After awakening, Lian Yu gives a soft laugh and chooses to keep opposing his junior brother and his friends. Specifically:
When the arrogant Demon Venerable a is cultivating, Lian Yu personally stands guard for him and drives a heart demon into his body.
When the aloof Immortal Venerable b is hungry, Lian Yu serves him spirit cakes he made himself, laced with a poison that destroys spiritual energy.
When the gloomy Nether Lord c is being hunted, Lian Yu sneaks in a strike from behind.
The heaven-defying junior brother still hates him, just as he did in the original story.
But his junior brother's friends have become very... strange.
The disdain in the way they look at him fades, replaced by complicated restraint. No matter how much he targets them, they never get angry.
Later, in a secret realm, he accidentally becomes pregnant in an illusory realm. When he is tainted by demonic energy and about to be executed by the righteous sects, abc step in front of him.
They say the child is theirs.
The three men, once brothers, even fight each other to claim the green hat.
Lian Yu: "...??"
*
abc have always despised Lian Yu, the hypocrite. Until...
When Lian Yu helped a break through a cultivation bottleneck, spent his energy making spirit cakes for b, and saved c from a deadly pursuit, they realized they had misunderstood him.
He was clearly beautiful and kindhearted. How could they have been so blind as to misjudge him?
So they try to persuade the heaven-defying protagonist to stop targeting Lian Yu, listing all his good qualities: beautiful, beautiful, kind.
But the protagonist remains unmoved.
They persist in trying to persuade him while currying favor with Lian Yu, but Lian Yu gives them no warmth in return.
Then Lian Yu is targeted by the righteous sects, and they know their chance has come.
To save him, abc all step forward and claim the child is theirs.
But the heaven-defying protagonist, who they thought had always hated Lian Yu, steps forward with "evidence" and says, "The child is mine."
The protagonist puts an arm around Lian Yu and turns to them. "Brothers, you were right. He really is wonderful. I'm truly grateful to you."
abc: "..."
As the three turn against one another to claim Lian Yu, fighting their former friend until they are battered and bloody, they regret everything.
If only they had known, they would never have tried to persuade the protagonist.
