I Cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness, Though I'm Destined to Be the Heavenly Chosen One's Romantic Tribulation

Shen Zuofei transmigrated into a side character in a cultivation novel.

This character was useless at everything, except for being good-looking.

Probably because of his face, hailed as the most beautiful in the Three Realms, the author had assigned him to be the tribulation of love for all the novel's chosen ones.

So in the original story, this side character's love life was one long series of hardships. He was mistreated over and over. One chosen one would finish overcoming their tribulation of love and leave, only for the next to take their place.

Shen Zuofei: Wow. If only you'd spent a little more time giving them a few more tribulation partners, Author. You can't keep shearing the same sheep for wool, can you?

Fortunately, all roads were not closed to him. After transmigrating, Shen Zuofei gained a golden finger of his own: the Supreme Emotionlessness System.

The more deeply he fell in love with someone, the more power he could gain by harvesting and converting those feelings at the end. It was practically a cultivation-leveling cheat, and he didn't even have to undergo a lightning tribulation.

Overjoyed, Shen Zuofei thought: So these chosen ones are the sheep I'm supposed to shear. Well, that settles it.

Shen Zuofei, hooked on shearing wool and taking the initiative: "Good sir, are you looking to undergo a tribulation of love? Pick me! I'm a real professional! I can give you a tribulation full of tragic, passionate romance, and once it's over, I won't cling to you." (Pounds his chest.)

With the help of the Supreme Emotionlessness System, Shen Zuofei's power surged like a wild horse breaking free. But just as he was wondering which poor sucker to choose to help him break through to the late stage of the Mahayana realm, the people he'd previously provided tribulations of love for suddenly came looking for him.

The Lord of Qingqiu, the successor of the Sword Pavilion, the Master of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion... even the world-destroying Demon Lord. All of them gathered at Shen Zuofei's secluded little courtyard.

Looking at these famous and powerful figures from across the Three Realms, Shen Zuofei, who had long since converted all his feelings for them into power, gave them a look as cold as a knife wielded by someone who had spent ten years gutting fish at a supermarket. "What do you want with me? My tribulation-of-love service doesn't include aftercare."

Just then, the door to the side room in the courtyard creaked open, and a young man emerged, still half asleep. He looked at the pile of Shen Zuofei's cultivation materials in the courtyard, froze, then immediately ducked behind Shen Zuofei, looking pitiful.

"Master, you shared a bed with me last night. If these uncles find out, won't they beat me up...?" Shen Zuofei, with his back to the young man, didn't see him flash the chosen ones of the Three Realms a taunting smile as he spoke.
