Yan Yu transmigrates into a melodramatic tragedy as a disposable BOSS. In the original story, he is destined to become the fearsome leader of the Hehuan Sect, powerful enough to destroy heaven and earth. But his cultivation is crippled, and he meets a miserable end.
To avoid suffering the same fate as in the book, Yan Yu eagerly becomes a lackey under the original male lead.
Everyone knows his newly adopted boss has a sworn enemy: Huo Yan, an aloof and noble Immortal Venerable. Yan Yu, a disposable character secretly from the demon clan, wants to cozy up to his big brother, so he goes to Huo Yan's immortal residence every day to provoke him. But Huo Yan never even looks his way.
Then, overnight, the once-godlike man is cast down from his lofty position. Huo Yan's powers are depleted, and he hits rock bottom. Everyone wants to see him make a comeback, but no one is willing to save him from the abyss.
Only that bewitching little demon, who sees the weakness beneath his tough exterior, quietly reaches out a finger.
That is, until Huo Yan notices the book spread open beside his pillow: The Beginner's Guide to Getting By in the Cultivation World [Manual Edition]
Rule 108: The more big brothers you have, the more options you get. Of the scholars you save, one is bound to pass the imperial exams.
How can you call someone fickle for playing both sides? The Demon Lord just wants to survive. What has the Demon Lord done wrong?
Gradually, their mental exchanges become more physical. Yan Yu suddenly realizes that Huo Yan, whose powers have waned, is reading the book he brought over to prop up a table leg.
Is there anything wrong with a demon who doesn't practice demonic cultivation? No.
But is there something wrong with an Immortal Lord following the demonic path? Very much so.
Just as Yan Yu trembles with fear over Huo Yan's transformation, the original owner of the body, the Demon Lord, opens his eyes and is unexpectedly transported to this world. The cultivation world has been turned upside down, and a crowd of righteous cultivators who should have been beneath his feet are making bold pronouncements: "A good-for-nothing."
The original owner, who was meant to dominate the cultivation world and destroy heaven and earth, sees that his reputation as a useless loafer has been irrevocably ruined.
The original owner: "?"
Furious, he grabs his sword and goes to confront Yan Yu.
Fate is against him. That night, under a moonless sky, Yan Yu slings a bundle over his shoulder and scrambles over the wall to escape.
Righteous big brother: "Didn't you say you'd be my lackey for the rest of your life? You're not allowed to leave!"
The original owner, from the demonic path: "How dare you slander me, the dignified leader of the Hehuan Sect, as a good-for-nothing! You'll pay for this!"
The beautiful man he picked up: "So all those sweet words were lies... Explain yourself."
Hunted from place to place, Yan Yu is cornered and forced to face all the protagonists. The righteous and demonic factions, once at odds, reach an understanding: hundreds of thousands of troops close in, all to capture one man. A crane flies from Yellow Crane Tower, and on its back Yan Yu clutches his green sword and weeps.
The righteous big brother: "Stop running. I've forgiven you. Don't run away again."
The original owner: "Yan Yu, I take back what I said. You're not a good-for-nothing. Come out and let me see you."
The aloof beauty: "I only have one question."
The once emotionless, aloof beauty steps in front of Yan Yu, his weapon aimed at his former allies. A divine being finally falls into the unseen abyss of the demonic path. The flawless white jade protects the most shameless and wicked demon, until blood dyes a thousand mountains.
Unable to overcome his inner demons, Yan Yu finally falls to the demonic path.
A cultivation-world slacker, forced to unleash his full power.
One finger summons heavenly thunder, shaking the Nine Provinces.
For tens of thousands of years afterward, not a single demon dared to set foot in Yangzhou.
Donglin retreats...
The Great Wilderness retreats...
And much later...
A little ghost from the underworld, drunk and stumbling all over the place, happens to see Huo Yan, once as flawless as white jade, kneeling in a bloodstained robe. Demonic markings creep up his neck as the black-haired, red-eyed man, miserable yet restrained, kisses the bewitching fingertip and begs hoarsely, "Stop hiding from me, Yu'er."
The once-flawless man has fallen to the demonic path.
