Not Every Villain Is Evil

[Ensemble cast, power progression + plot + rebirth through reincarnation + secret identities exposed + reconciliation after heartbreak + a villain's fight to survive + household intrigue + bickering enemies + no talk of love or hate, just entanglement

A cultivation setting in its final days, an arrogant, growing protagonist, a long, slow-burn story, told from the point of view of a cannon-fodder villain in a world built for overpowered protagonists]

Bai Shuyu was reborn with a tarnished reputation, but after turning into a "little girl," all those who once looked down on him suddenly came flocking to curry favor. In an instant, the cannon fodder rose to become the protagonist.

As chaos swept across the land, this selfish little man, simply trying to survive, unexpectedly found himself reborn in different places around the world alongside all manner of utterly wicked people.

And so he became one of the villains, bearing the name of a sinner as he struggled onward through the mortal world.

When his former "friends" discovered him, Bai Shuyu thought he would face stern punishment. But he never expected that his little-girl appearance would make him so popular??

Later, to rid himself of the terrifying heavenly punishment hanging over him, Bai Shuyu chose to fight Heaven. Whether through profit or sincerity, he befriended other villains and joined them in defying fate.

Here, the villains reincarnate with their memories intact, their intelligence and combat prowess maxed out, and together they set off a great battle in the cultivation world to overthrow the Heavenly Dao.

There is no absolute right or wrong here, only conflicting positions, and a group of ruthless people with nowhere left to retreat who only want to defy Heaven and change their fates.

Across this vast world, who will reach the summit?

Read on for the Heavenly Dao's grand villain-redemption game: the villains are all reborn and slaughter their way through the entire cultivation world!

"Daojing Arc", A crazed villainous elder brother and his black-and-white lotus younger brother

(Family and brotherhood, twisted ideas of good and evil, misunderstandings + favoritism, love and hate intertwined)

"Qingqiu Arc", The lord of a gloomy ghost and a tsundere fox demon with a surprising side

(Friends, a real "young master" scenario, him reborn as a little girl and his brother already a villainous leader)

"Central Plains Arc", A troublemaking young uncle, the "Ghost King's Consort," and his bewitching Ghost King

(Enemies, scheming and betraying each other, rotten people with sincere hearts, tangled love and hate, love and hate as deep as the sea)

"Academy Arc", A reborn powerhouse lays out layer upon layer of schemes

(The feud between an illegitimate son and the true young master. This will get its own book, "Reborn at Every Turn")

Reader's guide

1. Everyone who reincarnates is a villain. None of them are good people.

2. The story will mainly describe why the villains turned to evil, and some will be redeemed, but some are simply bad.

3. Evil-doers live long lives. Even though they're bad, they're all pretty hard to kill.

4. Bai Yao (Bai Shuyu) appears throughout the entire story. A heads-up for readers who haven't read this before: there are humorous plot twists involving gender changes, and he'll turn back later. There is no fixed point of view, no couples, and the story is a free-for-all, so feel free to ship anyone. This book is a mishmash of everything.

5. Original cultivation ranks: First Rank, Mortal Cultivator → Second Rank, Martial Arts → Third Rank, Sacrificial Alchemy → Fourth Rank, Grandmaster → Fifth Rank, Spirit Transformation → Sixth Rank, Sovereign Emperor → Seventh Rank, Dharma Origin → Eighth Rank, Perfection → Ninth Rank, Spirit Infant → Tenth Rank, Void Gaze → Divine Palace Gathering (condensing spiritual consciousness) → Heaven Turning Realm → Divine Foundation (True God)

6. The villains are intelligent, powerful, and good-looking!

[But in the end, the Heavenly Dao just cut off the net...]

[Happy ending]

[Original, original, absolutely original! If it seems similar, then this book was copied, okay...]

[Finally, I'll finish this story even if it doesn't get a contract.]
