Blurb:
My name is Shen Che. I'm a sentient jade pendant, a stand-in for Xu Nian in my master's heart, and I'm always thinking about devouring my master.
I heard my master's moonlight had a terrible reputation, so I studied all kinds of storybooks to find a way to clear his name, lower my master's guard, and seize my chance to strike.
So, in front of all the immortal sects, I said, "I had no choice before. Now I want to be a good person." My hand was trembling a little as I spoke, and the star threads I controlled accidentally sliced off a ferocious beast's head.
The immortal sects once said: Shen Ningyuan of the Canglang Sect is cruel and bloodthirsty. He had an improper relationship with his late senior apprentice brother, Xu Sichen, abducted Xu Nian, who looked like him, to keep as a male concubine, and imprisoned talented young men to drain their vitality. He's a madman who deserved his death.
The immortal sects also said: Xu Nian was humiliated by a demon lord and should have seen the error of his ways. Instead, after Shen Ningyuan died, he went down the wrong path, declared himself emperor, and ran amok. He is bound to meet the same fate as that madman.
Now, the immortal sects say: Xu Nian and Shen Che are arrogant and shameless, and have made enemies of the whole world.
Later, I discovered that rumors about us were flying everywhere, and only one of them was true: my relationship with my senior apprentice brother might actually be a little improper.
That day, he was covered in blood. My eyes nearly split with fury, and once again I unleashed the Heaven-Slaying, Earth-Destroying Star Formation.
The immortal sects went into an uproar.
In that moment, they remembered the terror of being ruled by me a hundred years ago.
This novel is also known as "Reborn, I Want to Be a Good Person," "The Professional Code of a Stand-In," "The Years My Senior Apprentice Brother and I Took Turns Being Each Other's Stand-In," and "Daily Life of Grinding a Secondary Account After Losing My Main."
Emotional blurb:
When his senior apprentice brother was around, Shen Ningyuan complained about him eight hundred times a day for neglecting his duties, being frivolous and debauched, and causing endless trouble. Then his senior apprentice brother finally stood tall once, and it broke his heart.
When he was younger, Xu Sichen thought his junior apprentice brother was vindictive and sharp-tongued. But when he left, the person he worried about most was still that same junior apprentice brother. Later, he waited alone for a hundred years for one person to return.
Vindictive, well-behaved (sharp-tongued) junior apprentice brother Shen Ningyuan (Shen Che), bottom x formerly flirtatious, later unhinged senior apprentice brother Xu Sichen (Xu Nian), who is only timid around his junior apprentice brother, top.

The unit's leader, codenamed "King of Hell," is so feared that everyone in the administration speaks of him in hushed tones. They say anyone he wants to eliminate won't be left alive.
But for some reason, this human missile has gone into show business. He keeps sending support to the criminal police team several floors away, earning himself a reputation as the entertainment industry's watchdog.
Just as everyone worries that one day a bloody massacre will break out, this human missile is fretting over how to win his wife back.

Later, a madman calls Mei Yunfeng on a live broadcast: "Hello, Satan. This world should be under our control, and hell is where we belong."
Mei Yunfeng: "That's what you Westerners call it. I don't recognize that title. Call me the King of Hell. And I have a husband, so who are you calling 'we'?"
