The Arrogant Dragon Keeps Trying to Brainwash Me

Lin Shu Qiu transmigrated into a book.

He got a Jinjiang cannon-fodder script, but landed on a Qidian battlefield of blood and slaughter.

The book's overpowered male lead, Lu Wei, was reborn and had three secret identities: the leader of the righteous path, a defiant rogue cultivator, and a mad Demon Venerable. He was ruthless and immoral, and his evil cultivation technique excelled at manipulating people's minds. Every one of his underlings eventually became a disposable tool on his path to enlightenment.

Unfortunately, Lin Shu Qiu was the "true villainous cannon fodder" who was brainwashed and controlled, then died taking a bullet for Lu Wei.

Lin Shu Qiu: I'm tired. I'll take every extra day I can get, but I refuse to be brainwashed.

To stay alive, he put on the performance of a lifetime:

Secret identity 1: A lowly, groveling "true villain," the most loyal brainwashed lackey under Lu Wei, secretly spending every day figuring out how to "die in the line of duty" convincingly.

Secret identity 2: A breathtakingly brilliant "white moonlight," Lu Wei's one and only close friend, who promptly pulled off a disappearing act just when Lu Wei was falling hardest for him.

Secret identity 3: An upright, impoverished sword cultivator who became sworn brothers with Lu Wei's demon cultivator identity. Every day, he sincerely whispered in his sworn brother's ear, "Lu Wei is a schemer. Stay away from him."

Lu Wei: ...You're right.

When all the fake acts turned real and collided with his determined plan to fake his death and run away,

Lin Shu Qiu finally discovered that the Qidian male lead, who had gradually lost his humanity in the original, had kept watch by his grave for seven whole years.

When a mishap with his cultivation technique once again turned him into that "vile little villain," he appeared before Lu Wei.

The once decisive, ruthless leader of the righteous path clamped a hand around his wrist, his voice hoarse:

"Lin Shu Qiu, how many identities do you have that I don't know about?"
