Leng Mingyi was Xiao Emperor’s right-hand man, faithfully following Xiao Hong for more than a thousand years, from the mortal realm to the immortal realm.
But in the end, he was framed and betrayed, made a sacrifice in a demon-sealing ritual, and personally pushed by Xiao Hong into the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, where he died consumed by resentment.
He never imagined this wasn’t the end, but a new beginning.
After his death, Leng Mingyi learned that the world he lived in was a fictional novel, and that he was merely one of the many lackeys who followed the protagonist. Even while he suffered in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons for nearly a century, another follower, stronger and more loyal than he was, had already taken his place at Xiao Emperor’s side.
Hatred and resentment consumed Leng Mingyi, and he was reborn in the mortal realm, back at the very beginning.
This time, he would be no one’s lackey or stepping-stone. He would become a powerful figure in his own right, take charge of his life, pursue the Great Dao, and ascend to the upper realm.
Oh, and that womanizing protagonist?
In his previous life, Leng Mingyi had already repaid the debt of being saved with his life. In this life, there would be nothing between them but rivalry and hostility.
Leng Mingyi remained indifferent to the protagonist, who was in dire straits at the start. He was cold and heartless, stealing his fortune and opportunities, and whenever he felt annoyed, he would secretly kick him while he was down.
He kept doing this all the way from the mortal realm to the cultivation realm.
But plans never keep up with change. The protagonist made him suffer in every way, yet he couldn’t bring himself to finish him off. The more he trampled him, the more things took a turn, and events ran wildly in a strange direction.
In the end...
When he held a Dao Companion ceremony with Xiao Hong, who was beaming with joy, in front of everyone, his feelings were... complicated.
Leng Mingyi gazed up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, his expression stern, tinged with a hint of sadness.
Really, extremely complicated ==.
