I Stole the Antagonist's Fate

Mu Shi is a new employee at the transmigration-into-books bureau.

She transmigrates into the cultivation novel The Immortal-Slaying Art as the youngest junior sister of the Kunhe Sect. Her mission is to help her eldest senior brother, Luo Bu Wen, become the strongest villain ever.

The stronger the villain, the more experience the male lead of the original novel will earn when he fights monsters and levels up.

Mu Shi: “No problem. I’ll become Luo Bu Wen’s most loyal lackey... I mean, his right-hand woman!”

In the original story, when Luo Bu Wen leaves the mountain to travel, he fights a vicious criminal. The man is so impressed that he submits to Luo Bu Wen and becomes his underling after he turns evil.

Mu Shi: “Leave this kind of hard labor to me!”

She takes her sword down the mountain and beats up the criminal, winning him over for Luo Bu Wen ahead of time.

In the original story, Luo Bu Wen meets a powerful leader of the demonic cult in Xiwu, who is traveling incognito. They share a drink, admire each other’s outlook, and become friends.

Mu Shi: “Let me handle this troublesome business!”

She chats and laughs with the demonic cult leader, winning an ally for Luo Bu Wen ahead of time.

She allies with the villain, crushes rival sects, and spreads her wings at the edge of villainy, becoming a major figure with a reputation throughout the cultivation world.

Mu Shi breathes a sigh of relief.

“I should be able to finish the mission now.”

Mu Shi turns around and sees...

Luo Bu Wen, the original novel’s greatest villain, still the eldest senior brother of the Kunhe Sect, with a spirit sword at his waist and white robes fluttering as he exudes an immortal aura.

Mu Shi: “...Mom, this isn’t how the script is supposed to go!”

In his previous life, Luo Bu Wen was framed. His master and fellow disciples all refused to believe him. They dragged him to the Immortal Execution Platform, intending to strip him of his immortal bones, drain his cultivation, and seal his soul beneath a tower for all eternity.

With all eyes on him, Luo Bu Wen snapped his sword and turned to the demonic path. He slaughtered his sect and became a demon feared by everyone in the cultivation world.

On the day he cut down the cultivation world’s rising stars, he sat down for a nap amid the ruins of the Kunhe Sect.

When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to a hundred years earlier.

Everything in his sect was as it had been, except that he now had a junior sister named Mu Shi.

Luo Bu Wen plans to walk the same path to becoming a Demon Lord again, but his junior sister keeps beating him to it...

He goes down the mountain to recruit underlings.

He sees the underling from his previous life serving Mu Shi tea, washing her feet, and rubbing her shoulders.

Luo Bu Wen: “?”

He goes to Xiwu to meet the ally from his previous life.

He sees the demonic cult leader boating with Mu Shi, sharing wine and laughter.

Luo Bu Wen: “...??”

The rising star of the cultivation world, who caused him so much trouble, gets flattened with a kick from Mu Shi, too.

Mu Shi punches the immortal sects and kicks the demonic cult. After a few years of this, she becomes the undisputed boss of the cultivation world.

Luo Bu Wen: “...”

It seems there’s nothing left for him to do here.

-Take the villain’s path and leave the villain with nowhere to go-
