A Villain with Ambitions

Liu Xuanyun spent three hundred years in seclusion. When she emerged, she discovered that the demonic path had fallen into decline and most of the great demons had perished. Even more astonishingly, the cultivation world had collided and merged with a world said to be technologically advanced. After accepting the ideas of the people in this new world, she decided, as an elder of the demonic path, to become a villain with ambition.

So Liu Xuanyun set her sights on the renowned sword venerable from the righteous sect, who had nearly wiped out the demonic path.

The reason was simple: the Sword Venerable was incredibly handsome and moved with effortless grace. In human terms, he was just so cool! She was completely smitten! Listen, her heart was about to leap right out of her chest!

More importantly, if she succeeded, it would be such an achievement!

But... after getting her wish and moving in with him, she realized something was wrong.

Why did this Sword Venerable look more and more like the masked, brainsick Demon Lord who was always plotting to unite the cultivation world and couldn't go a day without causing trouble...?

The ideas of the new era are shaking up the cultivation world, while countless cultivators from the new era are pouring in. And the demonic path, once hated by everyone, has become a popular choice?

The Demon Lord is obsessed with uniting the cultivation world, but his subordinates are too stupid, too useless, and too lacking in ambition! He has no choice but to enter the Dao through the sword and switch to the immortal path!

Just as the Demon Lord is on the verge of realizing his dream...

The cultivation world merges with another world, and the demonic path he'd nearly wiped out somehow rises again.

A female lead who's not all that bewitching or villainous.

And a male lead who's cool, ambitious, and a little crazy.

As usual, this is also a somewhat zany story.

Coming soon: No Time to Ascend

Blurb: Xu Qingjian was born with an innate Daoist constitution. She knows all things and understands fate from birth, and bears the mission of setting the Heavenly Dao's cycle of reincarnation right by steering every Child of Heaven back onto the path written in their destiny.

She is the noble family's gifted daughter who breaks off her engagement when a Child of Heaven hits rock bottom.

She is the vicious city lord's daughter who, blind to his true worth, bullies a Child of Heaven.

She is the aloof senior sister from a great sect, admired for years by a Child of Heaven but met with nothing but indifference.

Even the one who envies a Child of Heaven, repeatedly sabotages him, and then steals the person he loves is her.

Xu Qingjian is like a brick, sent wherever she's needed. As soon as she finishes one task, she's rushed off to the next. Most importantly, the Heavenly Dao hasn't assigned her any other identity! She has to rely on her own abilities to change identities!

Even though she's only one thunder tribulation away from ascension, she doesn't have time to undergo it! She's so busy she can't take a single day off!

She thought she was unlucky enough already.

That is, until she discovered that the Child of Heaven had always been the same person, was also only one thunder tribulation away from ascension, and was being forced to dress as a woman...

Suddenly, it didn't seem quite so bad!

He was born with a body hated by Heaven, yet burdened with Heaven's mandate, and could not escape his fate.

Until he met another who shared that mandate.
