The Frail Villain Awakens [Quick Transmigration]

[World Two Complete] [Pre-release: Please add "Master Refuses to Work 9 to 9" to your collection! Blurb below!] They were lowborn, yet brimming with talent. They were geniuses, bullied and forced to endure humiliation just to survive. Their lives were full of hardship, but they refused to accept their fate. They could have escaped the darkness and shone brilliantly, but illness clung to them, and they rotted away in the swamp, vanishing from the plotline. They are collectively known as... background characters. Recently, a new wave of thought has swept through the world of novels. The protagonists abused in melodramas, the devoted male supporting characters in sweet romances, and the obsessive villains in revenge stories have all drawn readers' ire with their unjust treatment and their tragic, beautiful, and strong characterization. Readers have been denouncing the original novels, putting the stability of their worlds at risk. The World System headquarters urgently dispatched countless Systems to save the protagonists, male supporting characters, villains, and others... Their chosen hosts were none other than the background characters from those original worlds. Countless shooting stars streaked across the sky. The geniuses who should have met their ends survived, outshining their entire worlds.

[Please add "Master Refuses to Work 9 to 9" to your collection! Pretty please!] Xiao Xianhe transmigrated into the role of the second senior disciple of Qingshan Sect. With the sect leader as his master to watch over him, a caring and doting senior brother, and a respectful, trusting junior brother, the overworked office drone became a happy couch potato in this life. His talent was decent, his status was high, and his cultivation was low. Until... At nineteen, he found out why his master, senior brother, and junior brother had let him laze around: he was destined not to live to twenty. He was going to die! The day before he was supposed to die, his "lifesaving elixir," Shen Xingzhou, arrived. Qianren Creek, once one of the three great immortal sects and now a tiny sect barely clinging to life, offered up the sect leader's illegitimate son, Shen Xingzhou, a spiritual body found once in ten thousand years. As long as Xiao Xianhe cultivated a dual spiritual practice with Shen Xingzhou, he could stay alive. But Qianren Creek had a condition: Xiao Xianhe had to take Shen Xingzhou as his disciple and become his cultivation partner. Taking advantage of his status as a disciple of Qingshan Sect's leader, Xiao Xianhe laid down a series of unfair rules. 1. Shen Xingzhou couldn't bother him before noon (11 a.m.). (He wanted to sleep in.) 2. Shen Xingzhou couldn't bother him after the You hour (5 p.m.). (He wanted to go to bed early.) 3. Every five days, he would go into seclusion for two days, and Shen Xingzhou couldn't bother him during that time. (He wanted two days off.) In short, he would refuse to work 9 to 9, live a happy, lazy life, and reach the pinnacle of success. Qianren Creek happily agreed, while Shen Xingzhou sneered. Did he think I needed him to teach me? Once an all-powerful demonic cultivator, Shen Xingzhou failed his tribulation and returned to his childhood as a helpless little boy. He avoided the fate of having his elder brother send him into a forbidden zone to destroy his spiritual roots, but was forced to become the cultivation partner of a self-righteous immortal cultivator. Once he regained his cultivation, defected from the immortal sect, and claimed the highest seat in the demonic sect, the first thing he did was abduct Xiao Xianhe. When Xiao Xianhe was abducted, Qingshan Sect went into an uproar. His master took up his sword and headed for the demonic sect. His senior brother took up his sword and headed for the demonic sect. His junior brother took up his sword and headed for the demonic sect. Only after arriving did they discover that Xiao Xianhe was living exceptionally well in the demonic sect. How well, exactly? He slept until noon. He ate until he was stuffed. He could come and go as he pleased. He even ordered the Demonic Lord around. The Demonic Lord wasn't offended. He even made requests of him. Shen Xingzhou held Xiao Xianhe close and kissed his earlobe. "Master, shall we cultivate together tonight?" Xiao Xianhe: "No." It's after work. No overtime. Theme: People can overcome fate
