The Villainous, Darkened Star Rises to Fame Through a Groveling Redemption Arc

Inside the cave, a blazing fire engulfed the ice coffin containing the remains. Staring at the corpse that looked exactly like her, Yun Jing screamed at Ye Ciyun in a frenzy:

"Master! The person in that ice coffin is your own master. How can you do this? You're going against the natural order!"

The woman looked at him with scorn, savoring his outrage, and smiled faintly.

"Are you angry because I went against the natural order, or because the person I did it for wasn't you?"

How amusing.

Ye Ciyun transmigrated into a book, a top-tier cultivation tragedy called "A Fateful Encounter at the Immortal Sect," where she became the original heroine, doomed to a miserable fate.

She guarded the remains of her beloved. On her very first day in the book, fueled by a heart full of fury, she turned into a villainess and killed everyone in the story who might get in her way. She devoted herself to becoming the greatest villain under heaven, playing both sides, taking the male lead as her disciple, and tormenting him mercilessly.

She cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness.

She was determined to nip the original story's "male lead loses his beloved" revenge arc in the bud.

In the Wuxu Mirror, her disciple Yun Jing had been dragged from his pedestal, covered in blood. He stared at her with hollow, bewildered eyes, his voice trembling:

"Master... During the battle between the immortal sects, you ran me through with your sword for your master's remains."

"In the illusory realm of flowers reflected in water, you nailed me to a post and imprisoned me in a cave to grant your master eternal life."

"During the battle between the immortal sects, you betrayed me for your master's ashes, and I was sent back to the sect to be flogged."

"Why did you treat me like this?" He coughed up blood, eyes brimming with tears, as if demanding an answer.

Ye Ciyun felt a little embarrassed, but calmly replied, "I suppose... I'm a villainess. I wanted to take the path of the revenge arc and become famous in this cultivation tragedy through my own spectacular revenge arc."

She succeeded.

Only after Yun Jing was tormented to death did she learn that he was the one who had warmed her in the ice, the one who had risked his life to find a sacred healing treasure so he could restore her appearance, and the one who had faced the immortal sects and every cultivation clan alone for her...

Ye Ciyun: ...

She was going to lose her damn mind...

After thinking it over for ages, she still couldn't figure out how the male lead's revenge arc had turned into her own quest to win back a man.

She decided to defy the natural order once more and win her disciple back.

"I defy the Way. Neither Heaven nor Earth can bind me."
