Reborn, I Found My Happy Ending with the Usurping General

Zhong Lifu was reborn.

In his previous life, he gave all his power and influence to his eldest brother, going to great lengths to pretend to be a good-for-nothing and throw everyone off the scent. He worked himself to the bone to clear away every enemy in his brother's path.

In the end, his eldest brother ascended the throne and became emperor, only to turn around and confine him to his princely residence, erasing every trace of his existence.

After returning to the past, he exposed the emperor's schemes early, caught the double agent who had hidden so well in his previous life, and even called off his engagement to his lovely fiancee.

All he wanted was to live a quiet life and, while he was at it, topple the emperor.

But then a great general appeared and insisted on sticking by his side. If they were apart for even half an hour, the man panicked as if the sky were falling.

Zhong Lifu: Hey, aren't you the mighty Prince of the Northwest? Where's that imposing air of a man with a million soldiers at his command?

But later...

The double agent who had betrayed him gave up his position as leader of the secret guards to deliver a message for him, and had half his power destroyed.

His childhood sweetheart took off her women's clothes, returned to life as a man, and entered government to shape the realm, all to create a peaceful and prosperous age for him.

Even the emperor, whom he thought hated him to the core, cried out his name night after night in his dreams.

After I died, I realized someone loved me.

He had thought that after he died in his previous life, his body would be wrapped in a straw mat and thrown into a mass grave. He never imagined that someone would come to claim it.

That person held him in his arms and sent everyone who had harmed, humiliated, bullied, and deceived him down to keep him company.

He threw the whole realm into bloody turmoil, all to get justice for Zhong Lifu alone.

He Ren had always secretly sent people to protect the young crown prince.

His hands were stained with blood, and he had taken countless lives. No matter how much love he felt, he didn't dare lay it before the precious young crown prince, afraid he would find it repulsive or feel uneasy.

But it was only on the day Zhong Lifu died and his soul was extinguished that he realized what he feared most was losing him.

Fang Xingjian spent half his life being a selfless saint. Only after his beloved disciple killed him and he fell into the Demon Realm did he learn that he was a cannon-fodder character in a universally adored protagonist story.

Freed from the role of selfless saint, the cold and ruthless sword cultivator Fang Xingjian let out a sigh of relief.

With my sword in hand, I'll slay every bastard in the world who wrongs me!

In the vast, empty Demon Realm, however, he found himself with a little shadow tagging along.

That person picked spirit herbs to stuff his pillow and killed demon cultivators to seize their territory, all to help him sleep well.

Though Fang Xingjian was blind, he carved that voice deep into his heart.

At last, he completed his cultivation, returned to the mortal world, and found his wicked disciple, Wen Ziyi.

With a fierce strike, his sword pierced his heart.

The disciple was completely unguarded. In a slightly hoarse voice, he called out,
