After reaching the pinnacle of cultivation and uncovering the secrets of the world, Demon Lord Yin Tinghuai discovered that he was actually the ambitious main villain in a cultivation novel.
He learned what was in store for him: in the battle between good and evil, he would die beneath the might of an unparalleled divine weapon. The immortal sect would extract his demon bone to forge a magical artifact, strip the flesh from his body to make pills, and suppress his soul forever, denying him rebirth.
Short-tempered Yin Tinghuai: I quit! Whoever wants to be this damn villain can have the job!
Yan Fangjiu had only just figured out the truth about transmigrating into a book when, by a twist of fate, he lost his memory.
After losing his memory, Yan Fangjiu forgot the entire plot of the book. Only one thing remained firmly in his mind:
He wasn't human.
Muttering, "I'm not human, I'm not human," Yan Fangjiu wandered around with his head bowed and his hands behind his back, until he found himself near the entrance to the demon realm, where he encountered Yin Tinghuai, who had appeared with a pair of horns on his head.
Yin Tinghuai narrowed his eyes.
In the book, Yan Fangjiu appeared to be an immortal lord revered by all, but he was actually the only divine weapon in the Six Realms, the Fangtian Goblet. His power was unmatched, and he could take human form.
Yin Tinghuai had died after being gravely wounded by Yan Fangjiu in his divine weapon form.
Yan Fangjiu stared at Yin Tinghuai's horns for a moment, then seemed to have an idea.
He gently straightened his spotless white robe. His peerless face was devoid of joy or sorrow as he raised a slender finger and walked ahead on his own. "Come on, let's go back to the cave residence."
Yin Tinghuai: ...
That's my home! Could you at least try not to act so comfortable going in?
Yin Tinghuai had been wary of Yan Fangjiu, but after looking him up and down...
Whatever. I'm not dead yet! A gorgeous beauty like him would be a fool to pass up!
Before long, rumors spread that Immortal Lord Yan Fangjiu had been abducted by the Demon Lord and was suffering all manner of cruel torment, his plight so tragic it brought people to tears and was too awful to watch.
In reality... of course, that wasn't what happened.
After regaining half his memories, Yan Fangjiu recalled all the hardships of his first half of life. His master had never shown him the slightest warmth, and his fellow disciples had treated him with nothing but cold indifference.
Yan Fangjiu glanced toward Yin Tinghuai's room.
That demon, at least, treats me well.
