The Beautiful Master Only Wants to Die

Shen Xinglan woke up to find that he had become the most notorious cannon-fodder villain in a book: a deranged, vicious character who clearly wouldn't survive more than three chapters.

The System issued a cold mission: [Go win over the male lead, Xie Yinhe, or he'll kill you in the future when he becomes the Sword Dao Supreme. Suggested approach: help him when he needs it most.]

Shen Xinglan raised an eyebrow. "Help him out? How boring."

So, on the very night the male lead's family was destroyed, he showed up with a knife and smiled as he pressed its tip to the man's throat. "Helping you out sounds like a hassle. I'll take you straight to the underworld instead."

The System shattered on the spot: [If the male lead dies, you'll die with him!]

Shen Xinglan: "Perfect. I'll drag him to hell with me, so I won't be alone on the road to the underworld."

But then he thought it over. He'd died carelessly in his previous life. Wouldn't it be a waste to die quietly again?

If he had to die, then someone had to remember him.

So he leaned down, traced the boy's trembling eye with a fingertip, and coaxed him softly. "Be my dog, and I'll avenge you."

Later, after taking his revenge and even helping the male lead reach the rank of Sword Dao Supreme, Shen Xinglan happily went off to die.

When he opened his eyes again, Shen Xinglan had become the beloved "Grand Ancestor" of a declining sect.

The immortal sects' grand tournament was coming up, and the small sect had been invited merely to fill out the numbers. After his disciples begged him relentlessly, Shen Xinglan had no choice but to agree to go.

On the high platform, Xie Yinhe stood in white, a sword on his back, his gaze dark.

Shen Xinglan thought, My little dog has grown up.

Everyone said Xie Yinhe's sword had shaken the world, and that he was a paragon of virtue and a model for the righteous path.

But no one knew that from the moment Shen Xinglan died, a ghost had been locked inside Xie Yinhe's heart, gnawing at his sanity day and night, driving him to madness with obsession.

He recognized the man below the platform at a glance. In an instant, his hand clenched into a fist beneath his sleeve, and blood dripped from his fingertips.

That night, the candles in the Sword Venerable's bedchamber went out without warning.

Shen Xinglan tried to escape, but Xie Yinhe pulled him back into his arms.

A scorching breath brushed past his ear. Shen Xinglan heard him say, "Master... where do you think you're going?"
