After Swapping Lives with My Most-Hated Rival

Sword Venerable Yuan Ti was the bright moon in the hearts of the entire cultivation world. Even the Heavenly Dao praised him and announced that he would soon ascend. As it happened, his mortal enemy Ling Yu was also ascending that day, and ended up blocking his path.

The cultivation world, which had been waiting for Yuan Ti to ascend, could no longer sit still. They rushed forward with their swords, but Ling Yu looked at them coldly and swept his sword out, sending a whole group tumbling to the ground.

With no choice, Yuan Ti joined the fight himself. The battle shook the mountain range dividing the human and demon realms to rubble and even drew down a thunderbolt.

The two were struck and passed out. When Yuan Ti woke up, he saw the people of the three realms who had once surrounded him all standing behind Ling Yu instead, glaring and pointing their swords at Yuan Ti.

Yuan Ti: ? You've got the wrong person.

After he and Ling Yu switched lives and Yuan Ti became universally despised, the cultivation world hunted him down. With no other choice, he took on a secret identity and joined an obscure sect, hoping to evade his pursuers. On his very first day, he unexpectedly ran into Ling Yu, who had ditched everyone else to find some peace and quiet. Yuan Ti was forced to become his fellow disciple.

Yuan Ti: Of all the people, why did I have to run into you?

The two of them got physical as soon as they met, and kept bickering openly and behind each other's backs. But taking on a secret identity did no good. More and more people were chasing Yuan Ti, while Ling Yu's admirers kept appearing one after another.

Yuan Ti, on the verge of tears: Give me back all my popularity!

Ling Yu, fed up with his admirers: I don't want it. They're so annoying!

The cultivation world hated the demonic overlord and had long hoped that Ling Yu would lead everyone in surrounding and attacking Yuan Ti, ridding the world of a menace.

On the high platform, Ling Yu approached with his sword. His eyes met Yuan Ti's, and as everyone watched in eager anticipation, Ling Yu curled his lips into a smile, cupped Yuan Ti's face, and kissed him.

Everyone: ???

Coming Soon 1: I Lured My Mortal Enemy After Being Reborn

Blurb:

The world of mysticism has always been controlled by powerful families, and talented young people inevitably become sacrifices.

A spiritual official lives by facing death. An obsession can trap someone undergoing tribulation, and the shortcut is to make someone else take the calamity in their place.

The exceptional candidates selected by the powerful families are pawns sent to take calamities for others.

Pawns usually die horribly, without exception.

In his previous life, Shen Qinghuai was a respected Celestial Master, the most talented prodigy and the person with the best chance of successfully overcoming his tribulation.

But he only discovered when he died that he was nothing more than a tool for a powerful family to use to take their calamities.

His family betrayed and framed him. He lost the one he loved and died an innocent death.

After being reborn, he decided to destroy this shortcut to overcoming tribulations and win back his love.

Shen Qinghuai's obsession was Jiang Heng. He wanted to live a long, safe, and happy life with Jiang Heng.

Looking at Jiang Heng, alive and well before him, he grew even more determined:

At the old dormitory where white eyes covered the walls, Shen Qinghuai saved all the pawns, then knocked on Jiang Heng's door alone in the middle of the night. His open collar revealed a red mole, and he stared into Jiang Heng's eyes. "Can I sleep with you?"

At a manor filled with the wails of ghosts, Shen Qinghuai brought Jiang Heng a candle, then shrank into a corner and kept his distance. "I know you hate me, so I'll stay farther away."

In an ancient building deep in the mountains, Shen Qinghuai wore a tattered red wedding outfit, bit his lip, and sighed. "For a moment, I thought the person across from me was you."

Faced with Shen Qinghuai, who was still handsome despite his torn clothes, Jiang Heng wiped his nosebleed. "I suspect he's trying to seduce me, but I have no proof."

The villains: Damn it, we failed again! And now they're feeding us dog food!

Jiang Heng was born proud and arrogant. His only rival was the aloof and haughty Shen Qinghuai, with his cool, detached air.

The two had disliked each other from the moment they met, and had fought openly and covertly many times. Then, one day, the person who had always regarded him as a mortal enemy suddenly changed his attitude. He not only spoke gently, but seemed to radiate a damnable charm.

Jiang Heng, wary: Something's definitely wrong.

Shen Qinghuai: Want to dance together?

Jiang Heng: I'm in!

Coming Soon 2: After Tormenting the Protagonist, I Faked My Death

After wreaking havoc across the cultivation world for 300 years with his heaven-defying strength, the great demon Feng Bu Wen decided to settle down on a mountain and live a lazy life.

But out of nowhere, the Heavenly Dao appeared and told him that he was actually the villain in a web novel, and that he could only complete his destiny and ascend to the upper realm after being killed by the protagonist.

Heavenly Dao: "The villain wants to retire early? Get back to work!"

Feng Bu Wen, smiling politely: "Damn."

Because of Feng Bu Wen's outrageous actions, the protagonist's progress was slow and he was still a good-for-nothing. Feng Bu Wen glanced at the protagonist, who was being tricked by his dark-moonlight master into taking a gut-rotting poison and getting caught up in a tragic romance. He frowned and killed the master with one stroke of his sword.

Protagonist: "I'm going to kill you!!!"

Feng Bu Wen: "Hurry up. I'm in a rush."

To become a lazy fish as soon as possible, Feng Bu Wen diligently played the role of both villain and nanny.

The protagonist is poisoned?

Throw him into a nest of snakes. Fight poison with poison.

The protagonist is fighting monsters?

One isn't enough. Send ten more!

The protagonist has a romantic encounter?

What are you doing dating? Get back to work!

Under Feng Bu Wen's devoted efforts to ruin (guide) him, the protagonist finally gained enough strength to stand before him. Looking at the sword that had pierced his heart, Feng Bu Wen delivered his final retirement speech: "...You foolish boy. Poison isn't candy. Don't eat everything you see..."

The great demon was finally vanquished, and everyone rejoiced. But for some reason, the protagonist, finally free from his clutches, went berserk overnight and carried a thin coffin as he slaughtered his way across the cultivation world.

Feng Bu Wen was overjoyed, ready to retire. He opened his eyes. "Why am I still in the lower realm? You scammed me! I'm reporting you!"

The Heavenly Dao trembled. "The protagonist has gone mad. He wants to destroy the world! Hurry up and kill him!"

As soon as the words were out, the protagonist approached with a sword, his whole body radiating murderous intent. The spirit of the young man he once was had vanished, and as he looked at the familiar figure, a tear of blood slid from the corner of his eye.

Theme: Stay true to your original aspirations and keep moving forward
