Villain Boss, Get Back on Your Feet

[Now serializing: The Darkened Male Lead Is Forbidden from Approaching the Author. Upcoming: With WeChat in Hand, I Own the World. Please add it to your favorites, qaq. The blurb is at the bottom.]

Blurb:

When Qi Xiaoxiao learns that she has transmigrated into a male-oriented cultivation novel, and that she is the tragic supporting female character who, even after the male lead's family is massacred by his own family, still believes his hands are clean and that he had nothing to do with it, then follows him without a care in the world, she is utterly despairing.

Fortunately, the story has only just begun.

Now Qi Xiaoxiao looks at the frail young man lying on the ground, barely alive, and feels a terrible headache coming on. This is Lin Yanhan, the major villain throughout the entire novel. She beat him half to death the very first time they met. It's a hellish start.

Qi Xiaoxiao: "Lin Yanhan, this Clear Mind Art is the best cultivation method in the clan. Take it and practice."

Lin Yanhan: "I don't want to. The world is so beautiful, and cultivation sounds so boring. Why don't we go hunting outside the city instead?"

Qi Xiaoxiao: "???"

Lin Yanhan: "Don't like hunting? How about going west of the city to listen to a storyteller?"

Hey, if you don't cultivate, aren't we all going to die? She's been doing everything she can to please him, lowering herself and acting meek, so why has the villainous powerhouse who diligently and tirelessly cultivated in the book decided to lie flat?

When she finally runs out of ways to cover things up and tells him the truth, Lin Yanhan nods seriously. "I understand."

Qi Xiaoxiao: "You'll cultivate now?"

Lin Yanhan: "Little Sister Qi, that's a great story. We could sell it to the storytelling house and make a lot of money."

What do you do when a child won't listen?

He's probably been spoiled. Give him a beating and he'll be fine.

Qi Xiaoxiao smiles at the man who cleaves a century-old tree with a single sword strike. Sure enough, tough measures work much better than a gentle approach.

Later, once Lin Yanhan begins cultivating, he becomes even harder to please. He visits in the middle of the night just to kill her, so she has no choice but to cling to her parents for protection.

By a twist of fate, the secret behind her inability to cultivate is uncovered. It turns out she doesn't lack talent at all. She has a rare physique found only once in a thousand years.

Now she has only two choices: never cultivate and spend every day fearing assassination, or follow the Demon Lord to the demon realm.

After awakening her physique, her cultivation progresses by leaps and bounds. But even when following the Demon Lord, she must tread carefully. Her former brother goes through untold hardships and travels thousands of miles just to take her away from the demon's den.

She remembers that day in the dark, damp dungeon. The face that once belonged to a spirited young man was now shrouded in gloom. He seemed possessed, out of his mind, yet kept repeating, "Xiaoxiao, I'll take you home..."

As the greatest villain in Immortal and Demon Records, Lin Yanhan's name resounds throughout both the immortal and demon realms.

His parents were murdered when he was young, and the Qi family patriarch took him in. The patriarch's younger daughter was arrogant and domineering, disliked him intensely, and often beat or scolded him. Because she herself lacked the talent to cultivate, she even stopped him from practicing.

Though Qi Xiaoxiao treated him badly, her parents treated him like their own son. Only after the Qi family was wiped out did the shadows buried deep in his memories come rushing back, driving him to darkness.

Later, the Demon Lord found him and taught him demonic arts. He became increasingly mercurial, with countless deaths on his hands, and rose to become the Demon Lord's foremost general, feared throughout the world.

He brought the male lead of the book countless obstacles and spurred him onward, suppressing him at every turn as he rose to power. In the end, the male lead killed him in the battle at Mount Eternal, solely because Lin Yanhan saw the Qi family's adopted younger sister, Qi Xiaoxiao, beside him.

He wakes up one day back in his childhood, on the eve of the Qi family's destruction. The Qi Xiaoxiao who once insulted and bullied him now suddenly holds out the best cultivation method in the Qi family.

Upcoming: The Darkened Male Lead Is Forbidden from Approaching the Author

Yu Anlan inexplicably appears in the Tianyuan Continent. The Creator System tells her that after the male lead, He Zhui, ascends to immortality, he discovers by chance that all the hardships and obstacles he faced were caused by her. Enraged, he drains the entire world's fortune just to drag her, the author, into his world and take revenge.

The Creator System's beginner protection changes the time of her transmigration to the fourteenth year of Tianyuan, when He Zhui is fourteen.

If she can't dispel the resentment in He Zhui's heart and make him give up his murderous intent, then when the System runs out of energy, the person waiting for her will be Niu Gulu He Zhui, reborn with all his memories and the male lead's halo.

Yu Anlan: "I get it, it's a redemption story. I'm good at this. I just need to encourage him when he faces hardship, comfort him when he's sad, take care of him when he's hurt, and be a good mentor and friend on his cultivation journey. Then his heart will be full of love."

With the story in hand, she easily gets her hands on rare treasures from all over the world and transforms herself into a successor of the Pill Sage, enjoying a lofty status.

She clears obstacles for the male lead and becomes an impossible-to-ignore guiding light on his dark path. She throws herself into the business of frantically earning his favor, and enjoys every minute of it.

"Go boldly forward. I'll always be right behind you."

"One day, when you stand on the shoulders of giants, you'll see that every hardship you're facing now is a whetstone."

"Little do you know, Heaven is about to place a great responsibility upon this person..."

"I believe in you. Fighting above your level is no problem for you. Go!"

Under her grand promises... no, her encouragement, He Zhui really does head in the right direction. He becomes gentle, kind, considerate, strict with himself and forgiving toward others, a model example in every respect.

Just when she thinks everything is under control, the unreliable Creator System runs out of energy.

As He Zhui's gaze grows stranger and more dangerous by the day, she decides to take a desperate gamble and strike first!

Unfortunately, her plan is exposed. The male lead's halo really is unbeatable.

Just as she thinks she's doomed, he approaches her inch by inch, his gaze full of possessiveness. Cornered and facing death, she shuts her eyes and throws herself at him, hugging him tightly.

Reader's guide:

1. One-on-one, happy ending.

2. The female lead transmigrates into a book; the male lead regains his memories of being reborn later on.

3. The System is just a tool and won't stay with the female lead long-term.

Why does the male lead get treated differently?

[Upcoming: With WeChat in Hand, I Own the World. Please add it to your favorites.]

Xie Yiqin transmigrates as a menial disciple of the Tianming Sect.

The original owner worked from sunrise to sunset, ate less than a chicken, slept later than a dog, and served the immortal sect's disciples without complaint for more than a decade, yet still never received a cultivation manual.

She thinks that with her weak shoulders, inability to lift a finger, and love of sleeping in, she definitely can't keep working as a menial disciple.

With the WeChat golden finger, she has the contact information of everyone in the world. She figures she'll find herself a master.

She opens her WeChat contacts but doesn't recognize a single person, so she opens the group message assistant and selects everyone except those in the Tianming Sect.

Cast a wide net. Surely someone out there is blind enough to bite.

[Hello! Interested in taking on a disciple? I have remarkable bones, a heaven-gifted immortal constitution, and am a cultivation genius found once in ten thousand. Don't miss your chance!]

[I'll take you. Who are you?]

[Oh? An immortal constitution?]

[I don't take disciples. I take a cultivation partner.]

[…]

To check their character and cultivation, Xie Yiqin carefully prepares 10,086 questions to screen them.

She chooses someone she thinks is a good fit, takes him as her master online, officially enters the sect, and begins her cultivation journey. She discusses the Dao with her master every day and grows closer to him, gradually advancing from a menial disciple to an inner disciple of the Tianming Sect.

But her master keeps trying to find out where she is, and she keeps fobbing him off. He thinks she's a virtual disciple he's raising online. What is he even up to?

*

As Zhuo Yuan, the strongest cultivator, closes himself away to cultivate and await a breakthrough, a WeChat icon appears directly in his mind and flashes with a message.

Who could send a message directly into his sea of consciousness? Zhuo Yuan slowly scrolls through the screen.

[I'll take you. Who are you?]

He decides to first look into her origins and find out what she's after, then finish her off with a single strike.

[Hello! If you're interested, please fill out the form. Make sure to answer the questions carefully!]

[Resume.docx]

Zhuo Yuan hesitates for a moment, then taps the screen and opens the resume. The 10,086 questions immediately flood his mind.

[Name, gender, age, birthday, cultivation level, favorite food, favorite item, if someone deceived you, how would you deal with them...?]

Suppressing his anger, he fills in each answer and sends it back.

[Please wait patiently. If you qualify, we'll notify you as soon as possible!]

"..."

After all sorts of twists and turns, he finally becomes her master. Yet every time he tries to get something out of her, she manages to mislead him. After spending some time together, he pieces together the clues.

At the Immortal Sect Assembly, he sees the woman shamelessly following him around and claiming she has feelings for him, talking a good game despite being only at the Foundation Establishment stage.

"Remarkable bones, a heaven-gifted immortal constitution, and already at the Nascent Soul stage? Disciple, you're making your master look far too good."

"H-help!" Her secret is out, and she's mortified.

Theme: Diligence can make up for a lack of natural talent.
