This Venerable One Doesn't Want to Try Anymore

While in seclusion, Yan Yunxie unexpectedly comes across a heavenly book.

According to the book, he's the villain, while Ye Yichen is the protagonist. Ye Yichen has also come from a future, otherworldly realm, and is the chosen one of heaven.

Standing against Ye Yichen, no matter how carefully Yan Yunxie schemes, he'll ultimately die a gruesome death at Ye Yichen's hands. Meanwhile, anyone on Ye Yichen's side can prosper, even their dogs and chickens.

Upon leaving seclusion, Yan Yunxie sighs, paying his respects to his lofty ambition of dominating the cultivation world. This venerable one no longer wants to work hard.

So he imitates the old man in the ring from the heavenly book, crawls inside Ye Yichen's ring, and decides to become the man standing beside the protagonist. "Dear young man, would you like this dual-cultivation manual, this cauldron manual, or this peerless manual that says you must castrate yourself before you can practice it?"

Ye Yichen: "..."

There's something off about this old man in the ring.

Upcoming Story 1: After Livestreaming My Betrayal of the Dragon-Proud Hero

Reincarnated as the villain who wiped out the family of a Dragon-Proud Hero, the lunatic Chu Heyi declares that sucking up to the hero is out of the question. The original villain met a miserable end because his methods weren't clever enough.

He'll become a villain far more sophisticated than the original, a peerless mastermind whose success will be serialized by the System and remembered throughout every world.

"Teach him to cultivate, but secretly destroy his foundations." Chu Heyi leafs through the printed book serialized in sync with the System, One Hundred Ways to Make the Dragon-Proud Hero Suffer While Still Feeling Deeply Grateful to You. "Grow closer to him, then let him learn that feelings are all bullshit."

Author: Chu Heyi.

Chu Heyi keeps up a caring front while constantly plotting in secret, driving himself to the brink of a total split personality.

The Dragon-Proud Hero feels conflicted. His master may be temperamental, but he means well.

"Hmm, he trusts me completely now. It's time to let slip that I'm the one who slaughtered his family~" Chu Heyi sets down his pen.

"Chu Heyi, you wiped out my entire family, then shamelessly took me as your disciple and toyed with my feelings! Today, I'll tear you limb from limb!" Before long, the Dragon-Proud Hero arrives right on cue, blazing with rage.

Chu Heyi calmly takes out a mirror and tidies up his appearance for the end. "The final chapter of the System's livestreamed serial, Volume One: Facing Death."

The moment he posts it, a comment appears: "You're not really going to die, are you!?"

Chu Heyi replies, "Guess why it's called Volume One?"

After Zhu Lan dies, the System takes him to small worlds to reform villains, on the grounds that he has a pure and gentle nature and should be especially good at changing people.

Zhu Lan, who wears a human face but does no human thing: Hm?

"As compensation, once you've reached the maximum task score in each world, you can choose to leave or start a new life under a different identity."

Zhu Lan: "Deal!"

In the first world, Zhu Lan becomes a sickly but talented tutor to the crown prince. He coughs up blood every ten steps and ends up bedridden every hundred.

Who could have guessed the crown prince would fall for him, the general would become infatuated with him, and the future tyrant would turn into a little lamb?

Zhu Lan: No way. I just want to finish this quickly and go experience a new life.

At last, his task score reaches the maximum, and Zhu Lan leaves, satisfied.

"Host! This is bad! Your score dropped from max to rock bottom after you 'died'!"

Zhu Lan: What do I care?

The villain appears behind him. "I found you! Run again, and I'll kill them all!"

Zhu Lan turns around with a brazen smile. "You're so slow. What's the fun in killing everyone? Let me teach you~"

The System: !?

Realizing something is wrong, the System urgently reviews Zhu Lan's past. This time: seemingly kind, actually crazy. A holy mask, with the heart of a Casanova.

"System, you got it wrong! Can I just, "

"No. If you don't want to be reformatted, get on with the next world."

In the second world, Zhu Lan becomes a part-time model at an art studio. Beneath a genius painter's mask, however, lurks a dark obsession with the human form. It turns out there's only a hair's breadth between genius and madness.
