After Transmigrating Into a Book, I Became the Villain's Sword Spirit

A new story in the same faked-death series, "The Villain's Brother Is Scrambling to Survive Online," is out now. Visit my author page. [Please read the following notice before starting the story.] Shu Mingli is reborn as a sword spirit in a cultivation novel, destined to be killed off soon alongside the villain. System: Want to live? Fine. Protect the villain and make sure he safely turns evil. Then you can go back. So Shu Mingli resolves to be a diligent sword spirit and work hard at his missions. But as he goes along, he realizes something is wrong with the plot: Does the villain have no rights? Why does everyone bully this poor little guy? Shu Mingli (furious): To hell with the plot and the System! I'm protecting this kid! But as he keeps protecting him... The little villain changes. Every day, he comes to Shu Mingli looking for a hug, acting pitiful, and gazing at him tenderly. "As long as I'm by your side, I won't do anything bad." Shu Mingli: "..." Hey, buddy, could you get your corruption level under control before saying stuff like that? This is probably a story about redeeming a villain and setting him on the right path. The protagonist racks his brains every day to win affection, painstakingly tries to figure out the plot, and comes up with every possible way to fool the System... But before he knows it, the person he protected like his own son has toppled this hardworking "old dad." [Notice] Because the story underwent major revisions, certain sections have fewer words than the required minimum and have been replaced with ".". These sections are in Chapters 81–86. The word count met the requirements while the story was on the rankings. This was not an attempt to trick readers into paying. This is an old story from a long time ago, and adding new plotlines would have felt strange, so I made this unsuitable change a long time ago. I'm truly sorry for the unpleasant reading experience. I have added notices to the blurb and the chapters. Readers who regret purchasing the story can leave a message, and I will refund the cost of their subscription in the form of a red packet! - The shou has a little conscience, a good temper, and a calm, sarcastic streak. The gong has no conscience at all and is always on the verge of turning evil. - New story blurb: 1.
