The Days I Scraped by Under the Great Villain

Blurb:

Ji Yueying woke up one day and discovered he had transmigrated into a cultivation novel tagged "good-for-nothing rises to greatness."

The story took place in a world where might made right. The original protagonist was a street thug who made money by cheating and swindling people.

One day, as usual, the original protagonist was waiting outside the Rare Beast Pavilion. He successfully conned a penniless boy who couldn't afford a spirit pet, passing off an uncommon ornamental fish as a rare spirit pet and selling it to him.

The protagonist clutched his purse and smiled in satisfaction, unaware that the person he'd sold the counterfeit to was the book's biggest villain. His actions not only became the final straw that broke the villain, but also earned him an extremely terrifying enemy in the future.

The villain was named Wenren Yuzhen. Only fifteen years old, he came from the Wenren family, one of Qingyun City's three great clans, and had never been favored by his father.

During the clan's spiritual root assessment, the other children proved to have mediocre talent. The villain alone was found to possess a superior water spiritual root, with extraordinary potential.

He thought his father would finally value him. Instead, that very night, his father knocked him unconscious and dug out his spiritual root to give to his illegitimate younger brother.

After waking, the villain dragged his injured body to the Song family, where his mother had once lived, seeking help in the middle of the night.

But the Song family's second branch was now in charge. When they learned the villain's spiritual root had been ripped out and he was now useless, they shut the door on him and even revealed his whereabouts to the Wenren family.

After leaving the Song residence, the villain had no choice but to hide his identity and flee from place to place. But with his spiritual root removed and no timely treatment, his life was rapidly ebbing away.

Feeling that he didn't have long to live, he went to the Rare Beast Pavilion to buy a spirit pet for protection. A bond with a spirit pet would let them share their lifespans, keeping him from dying right away.

But the moment he stepped into the Rare Beast Pavilion, its attendants, who judged people by their appearance, drove him out.

After enduring so much in one day, the villain's heart had completely gone cold. With nowhere left to turn, all he could do was wait to die.

Unexpectedly, the original protagonist seized his chance and conned the villain into spending all his money on the "spirit pet" he had for sale.

The villain's hope quickly rekindled. He immediately found a safe place and prepared to bond with the spirit pet.

But only when the bond was complete did he realize he'd been deceived. The spirit pet was fake.

In the end, the villain died with resentment and hatred in his heart.

When he appeared again, the villain had become a cold-blooded demon lord. He nearly slaughtered the entire cultivation world, and even the protagonist almost died at his hands.

Ji Yueying transmigrated at the worst possible time: the villain was on the verge of death, with little time left.

And the identity he'd transmigrated into was even worse: he had become the fake fish that the original protagonist dressed up as a rare spirit pet and sold to the villain.

Realizing that he had become the final straw that broke the villain, Ji Yueying could only shout, "Help!"
