Blurb:

Yu Lu transmigrates into a cultivation novel and becomes the sword spirit of the greatest sword cultivator alive.

It looks like an easy ride, but the difficulty is hellish.

The powerful cultivator will eventually fall to demonic cultivation and become a villain who destroys the world.

On the day the cultivator falls to demonic cultivation, the innocent little sword spirit gets struck into smithereens by the Heavenly Dao.

After hurriedly reading through the original story, Yu Lu sums up what comes next and reaches a conclusion: if he wants to stay alive, he has to stop the powerful cultivator from cultivating. As long as the cultivator doesn't fall to demonic cultivation, Yu Lu, the sword spirit of the greatest sword cultivator under heaven, won't die.

To stay alive, Yu Lu does everything he can to stop the powerful cultivator from cultivating.

The powerful cultivator has been fasting for years and no longer eats ordinary food.

Yu Lu arrives and personally arranges three meals a day for him.

The spiritual energy is abundant at night, so the powerful cultivator often cultivates all night.

Yu Lu arrives and moves straight into his room, making sure he goes to sleep at dusk every day.

Whenever the powerful cultivator frowns slightly to show his displeasure, Yu Lu asks coldly, "Why are you always thinking about cultivating? Are you hoping I'll die?"

Shen Zhuo: ?

Later, Yu Lu has a dream.

In it, he takes over his sword master's body, commands ten thousand demons, and slaughters humanity.

All because

"The Heavenly Dao has wronged me..."

After waking up, Yu Lu scratches his head. "Oh? I'm the villain?"

From the top's point of view:

Shen Zhuo was born with an immortal's bones. To focus on cultivation, he chose the ruthless sword path.

Ruthlessness means cutting off all ties and desires, devoting yourself entirely to the Dao. Not only romantic love, but even familial and platonic affection must not be allowed to take root.

So from the day he entered the Dao, Shen Zhuo lived in solitude.

It wasn't until the sword spirit Yu Lu appeared that a ray of light entered his life.

A sword cultivator of the ruthless path must not fall in love, but swords are an exception.

A mischievous bottom who changes his fate against all odds, after starting out as a little troublemaker x a straight-laced, straightforward top who turns dark and calculating later on

Upcoming historical danmei:

[The Sickly Beauty Tyrant Doesn't Want to Cause Trouble [Book Transmigration]]

Lin Yi transmigrates into a political intrigue novel and becomes a ruthless, cruel tyrant villain.

In the original story:

The tyrant suffers from a terrible illness and is deeply paranoid, convinced that all his ministers are traitors.

Because of this, he executes dozens of his most trusted officials, including but not limited to

The Grand Tutor who teaches him poetry and books and treats him like his own son

The imperial physician who searches for medicine for him and is left disabled

The great general who fights on his behalf and risks his life time and time again

The Chancellor who works tirelessly on his behalf and cares for the common people

In the end, loyal officials bleed out in the court, no one is left to defend the country, and the original protagonist seizes the opportunity to overthrow the tyrant's dynasty.

The tyrant is cut to pieces and his corpse is displayed in public.

Fortunately, when Lin Yi arrives, the story has only just begun, and the young tyrant hasn't yet started persecuting his ministers.

Lin Yi breathes a sigh of relief. Things aren't too bad. As long as he treats these loyal officials well, he can survive!

But he never expected that the ministers who were loyal to the tyrant in the original story would all rebel against him, their "wise ruler."

Lin Yi: Something must be wrong.

It isn't until one day, when the great general accidentally lets something slip, that Lin Yi learns all his beloved ministers have been reborn.

Oh, reborn?

Lin Yi: I thought I was born in the beginner's village, where I could win over the NPCs and survive. I didn't know this was a hell-level instance and every NPC was a boss! Still...

Lin Yi smiles. "It's pretty fun, actually. All I have to do is return to my old job and be an emperor."
