I Hate Proud Dragons More Than Anything

Yu Zhuxue lived a miserable, tragic life. His natural sword bone was stolen, his cultivation destroyed, and, because of his all-yin constitution, he was imprisoned within his sect, where his heart's blood was drawn night and day to help others cultivate.

Yu Zhuxue couldn't understand why, though they had the same parents, his younger brother could secretly carry on with his fiancee after Yu lost his sword bone, kick him when he was down after his cultivation was destroyed, and comfortably enjoy the pills and spirit stones bought with his heart's blood.

His parents urged him, "Your younger brother is still young. Don't fight with him."

His sect said, "As the first disciple, you should devote yourself to the sect."

It wasn't until the tenth year after Yu Zhuxue fled the sect, when he died at the hands of the villain and became a wisp of spirit, that he learned the truth: his closest family had plotted to take his sword bone. They weren't truly his family at all. He was just a beggar his parents had picked up by the roadside.

When Yu Zhuxue opened his eyes again, he was reborn on the day his sword bone was taken.

Yu Zhuxue lowered his gaze, his eyes empty of joy or sorrow.

He thought, Since that's how it is, he needn't cling to that false affection anymore. Whatever they owed him, his sword bone or his cultivation, they would have to repay it all, with interest.

The Record of Swallowing the Heavens is a power-progression novel that has topped the men's fiction bestseller charts for years. After the protagonist Yu Zhuxue is reborn, he reforges his sword bone, defies fate, and eventually becomes the ruler of the Three Realms. This wish-fulfillment story has won the love of countless readers.

But they don't know that the author, You Yan, truly hates the character Yu Zhuxue.

Unlike You Yan, Yu Zhuxue is a chosen one. After being reborn, he encounters countless opportunities, discovers that his birth parents are of noble status, is doted on after reuniting with them, and becomes engaged to the daughter of the leader of the Immortal Alliance...

Meanwhile, You Yan has no parents and has wandered the streets since childhood.

So he envies Yu Zhuxue's life, and envies even more that so many people love him.

Thus, even after readers berated him for botching the ending, You Yan, driven by a certain secret pleasure, once again gave Yu Zhuxue an ending where the villain runs him through the heart with a sword.

Unexpectedly, when You Yan opened his eyes again, he had entered the book.

Cruel and cold, You Yan is like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows. He decides to lie in wait at Yu Zhuxue's side.

He curls his lips and watches the back of Yu Zhuxue, newly reborn, thinking with relish that he will witness with his own eyes how Yu Zhuxue walks step by step toward the ending he wrote for him.

You Yan is so excited that his hands are trembling.

**

Of course, at this point, he doesn't know that far in the future, he will see that person truly fall, his clothes stained with blood, never to open his eyes again.

In that moment, You Yan will panic, as if his soul has left his body.

From then on, he will find no sleep, whether in the mortal world, the immortal realm, or the Nine Nether Demon Domain.
