[The seemingly aloof, scheming fun-seeker x the imaginative fake villain]
After losing his memory, Xu Jie wakes up to find himself bound to a Villain System.
The System threatens him: "You must become the number one evil cultivator under heaven. If your evil deeds score falls short, I'll erase you, and you'll never be reborn!"
Xu Jie rubs his hands together, eager to begin. "You know, ever since I was little, I've dreamed of becoming the number one evil cultivator under heaven!"
The System's first mission: rob someone.
He plunges into a monster-infested forest and drops in from above, saving twenty helpless cultivators in a single day.
The System is furious. "How is that evil?"
Xu Jie drags along a dead tiger demon. "Didn't I rob them of their prey?"
The System: "...?"
The System's second mission: kill someone.
He takes down a bounty notice and hunts the vicious criminals listed on it all over the world. Before long, everyone in the cultivation world is calling him the Iron-Faced Constable.
The System is furious again. "That's clearly a good deed!"
Xu Jie: "Are you stupid, System? Orthodox disciples don't have any money on them. Catching villains gets you a bounty!"
The System: "Huh... I guess that makes sense."
The System learns its lesson this time and gives him explicit instructions: take advantage of the orthodox powerhouse Song Heguang while he's weak, seize his cultivation, and take his life!
Xu Jie rescues Song Heguang from a siege by evil cultivators, then takes him back to his cave and tends to him with great care.
The System sneers. "Let's see what excuse you come up with this time!"
Xu Jie laughs three times, then rubs his hands together like a fly. "Aloof beauties are so proud. Once I heal him, I'll keep him as my pampered captive, enslave and humiliate him, and ruin his reputation!"
The System is thoroughly impressed. "Host, you're a genius!"

Years later, Xu Jie is a nobody on the evil cultivator rankings. Instead, he's somehow become a universally admired beacon of the orthodox path, much to his dismay.
Song Heguang, who has long since become his "male favorite" and "fallen into depravity," offers a gentle suggestion: "Master, why don't we go eliminate all the evil cultivators ranked above you? Then you'll be the number one under heaven."
Xu Jie sees the light, wraps an arm around Song Heguang's neck, and plants a kiss on him as a reward. "My beauty, you're the only one who gets me!"
