Reborn, I Was Taken in by the Villain

In his previous life, Li Qingtian was so powerful that no one in the cultivation world could match him. Every cultivator longed to attain the Dao and become a god. Li Qingtian was no exception. But he overestimated himself and died in a heavenly tribulation. Reborn with his memories intact, Li Qingtian opened his eyes to find that the great villain, Jiang Lou, had carried him home. People in the cultivation world: “Jiang Lou's crimes are too numerous to record. Everyone should join in killing him, but this ruthless villain is incredibly crafty and impossible to track down.” Young Li Qingtian, trapped in Jiang Lou's home with barely any cultivation: “…” He'd intended to wait for a chance to strike and kill the villain. But the longer he stayed with Jiang Lou, who kept feeding him spiritual elixirs, was handsome, slim-waisted and long-legged, and had a kind sense of humor, the more he realized… Had Jiang Lou even done anything wrong? Jiang Lou, the author who'd abandoned his novel The Venerable Qingtian halfway through, transmigrated into the book he'd written, becoming a great villain who didn't even exist in the original story. The first thing he saw made his blood pressure soar: His male lead was trying to get himself killed! Before Jiang Lou could stop him, the man was dead. With the male lead dead, the novel's world collapsed and everything started over. Jiang Lou brought young Li Qingtian home and raised him under his watchful eye. As the author, surely guiding the male lead through the plot would be a piece of cake? A proper male-lead hero should cultivate, unlock cheat abilities, punish evil, uphold justice, earn everyone's respect, and be so cool and invincible that he could shake the heavens! But exactly where had things gone wrong??? The man before him, now grown out of his boyishness, knelt on one knee and said: “Jiang Lou, will you become my cultivation partner?” Jiang Lou helplessly rubbed his forehead. Li Qingtian, wake up! You're the male lead of a male-oriented novel, not the male lead of a gay romance! Maybe another heavenly bolt of lightning could kill him and let him start over (just kidding).
