【Daily updates after joining V. New chapters at 9:00 p.m.】
Wen Ruqiu read a cultivation novel before bed.
After staying up all night reading, he died suddenly and transmigrated into the book.
He became a sword, and not just any sword: the sword of the story's biggest villain!
·
The villain, Chu Ji, had a miserable childhood and would do anything to survive.
He seemed kind and innocent on the surface, but was two-faced, hypocritical, and cruel underneath.
.
Thinking about the next decade or so, when he would have to accompany the villain through all kinds of secret realms and end up battered and bruised,
only to be snapped in half in the final battle between the villain and the protagonist!
·
Wen Ruqiu: ...Isn't it better to stay alive? Isn't it nice to lie flat?
A treasured sword should choose a worthy master!
·
He decided to get away from the villain as soon as possible.
So every day, he lazed around and held back in fights,
waiting for the villain to sell him off.
·
But day after day, he stayed by the man's side, falling asleep to the sound of his daily sword practice...
When the villain was covered in wounds and still clutched the hilt, refusing to let go,
Wen Ruqiu couldn't help but let his blade hum and shoot through the air.
“Get up. I'll take you to get revenge!”
·
From then on, Chu Ji held tightly to the sword in his hand.
Together, they braved secret realms, fled pursuers, and made a name for themselves in the sect tournament.
Wen Ruqiu watched the boy grow up, little by little, into a towering figure among the immortal sects.
·
The finale still came.
Chu Ji's demonic bloodline was discovered, and the six great sects joined forces to put him on trial.
·
At the last moment, Wen Ruqiu couldn't ignore his compassion.
He flew out on his own and took the protagonist's fatal blow in the villain's place.
His blade shattered with a thunderous crash.
The last thing he saw was the villain clutching the fragments of his blade, a tear of blood falling from the corner of his eye.
·
Goodbye, he thought.
This ending isn't so bad.
*
But two hundred years later, Wen Ruqiu woke up again.
In the chaos, he learned that the villain had united the demon realm and become its ruler.
And he was preparing to start a war between the two worlds.
·
Wen Ruqiu: !!
How did the promising young man I worked so hard to set straight go off the rails again?!
·
The resentful spirits in the chaos chattered in his ear.
“Apparently, that man has gone mad! After all that effort, all he wants is to repair a sword that's been smashed to pieces!”
·
Wen Ruqiu: ?
Wait, what does that have to do with me!
【Bonus scene】
Chu Ji had never considered himself a good person.
But...no matter how bad someone is, there will always be a pure place in their heart, where they keep someone who is pure and good.
Just like all those years ago, when he was being hunted and finally made it to the river, battered and exhausted.
His sword slipped from his hand and split a tree, making a place for him to sit.
Falling blossoms drifted from the branches into his battered palm.
“A gift for you. Do you like it?”

After I Return the Body to the Villain, I Die
Yun Shu had wanted to die for many years.
When he closed his eyes, he thought he'd finally died.
【Ding! Villain Redemption System bound. Host, work hard to earn the protagonist group’s favor and reach the pinnacle of life!!】
He had transmigrated into a book.
He'd become the young villain destined for a gruesome death.
The System said he needed to work hard to earn the protagonist's favor and trust.
Yun Shu could only laugh.
He didn't even care about his own life. Why would he try to please anyone else?
Electric shocks as punishment? Whatever.
Pain from serious injuries? No problem.
He watched as he wrecked this body until it was covered in wounds, as if it might give out completely at any moment.
A cold voice sounded in his mind.
“Are you trying to get yourself killed with my body?”
Who would have thought the original owner of the villain's body was still there?
The original owner was his polar opposite. He wanted to die, while the other man would do anything to live.
Yun Shu began to think things were getting interesting.
He'd long since lost the will to live, but for some reason, he couldn't bear to see this man fall into another cycle of reincarnation...
So he revealed his talent as a healer and traveled with the protagonist.
Along the way, he helped the common people and won their praise.
As for the protagonist...he hit him hard.
When they came across a pregnant woman's corpse, he “kindly” rolled up his sleeves and offered to help deliver the baby. The corpse infant's first bite landed on the protagonist's arm.
System: ?
Protagonist: ?
Yun Shu wiped away nonexistent tears. “Sigh, I'm just too kind.”
Villain: ...
In all these years, he was the first person to take over his body without trying to please the protagonist.
Not only did he complete the missions, he also made the protagonist suffer a spectacular defeat.
Gradually, the relationship between the two began to change.
Whenever Yun Shu was injured, the villain would take over the body, scold him for not taking care of himself, and then tend to his wounds with great care.
Sometimes, after treating him, the villain would refuse to hand the body back, acting fierce. In truth, the wound still hurt, and he didn't want Yun Shu to feel the pain too.
“I don't mind pain,”
Yun Shu said once, unable to hold back.
I'd...gotten used to it long ago.
“Shut up!”
Yun Shu began traveling all over in this body and making friends.
He helped the villain fulfill the wishes he'd never voiced, cleared his name, and brought the truth to light.
Until the world's will issued a warning.
Only one soul can remain in this body.
The villain decided to give the body to Yun Shu.
No one in this world had ever cared about him anyway. He was consumed by killing, and there was no point in staying.
In the moment before he vanished, Yun Shu reached out, crossed his hands, and slowly hugged himself.
It was a foolish gesture, hugging himself, but the villain felt as if something had seized his heart.
“Who says no one cares about you?”
“...I care.”
He smiled, his expression gentle.
“Live well, Lu Zhiyuan.”
Yun Shu slowly faded away, giving the body back.
After his parents died horribly and his sect abandoned him, Lu Zhiyuan believed no one in the world would ever truly care about him.
Until that person appeared.
But just as he finally began to believe someone might hold him dear,
that person died before his eyes.
From that day on, Lu Zhiyuan went mad.
He would pay any price, do anything, even defy fate, to bring that person back.
