Lin Suzhi transmigrated into a villain in a male-protagonist cultivation novel. This villain had profound cultivation, came from a prestigious sect, was as pure and bright as the moon, and was born with a phoenix bone. For three years running, he topped the martial world's beauty rankings. By all appearances, he was a truly good person.

Unfortunately, he got tangled up in a pile of romantic entanglements he should have avoided, including, but not limited to, the young lord of the Demon Realm, the first disciple of the Hehuan Palace, and the number one sword cultivator under heaven. In the end, caught up in too many conflicts, he was slain by the male lead.

The male lead, Xie Bofei, had parents who died tragically, was born with a demonic heart, and was gloomy by nature. He was practically molded to be a great villain. But in reality, he was a genuinely good person: a gentleman who cared for all living beings.

Lin Suzhi: ...I have nothing to say.

To save his own life, Lin Suzhi decided to cultivate the Heartless Dao, severing his ties to love to avoid future entanglements.

Xie Bofei: What are you going to Linwei Sea for?

Lin Suzhi: Don't you have to cleanse your meridians before cultivating the Heartless Dao? I'm going to look for Dust-Fate Dew.

Xie Bofei: You're not going.

Lin Suzhi: ?

Xie Bofei: What are you going to do this time?

Lin Suzhi: Don't you have to temper your spiritual flame before cultivating the Heartless Dao? I'm going to look for Spirit-Mei Grass.

Xie Bofei: You're not going.

Lin Suzhi: ...You're not going to stop me again, are you?

Xie Bofei: ...You're not going.

Xie Bofei was the biggest obstacle in the way of his Heartless Dao cultivation.

The Yaotai Pool shattered, spiritual springs surged backward, and mountains collapsed as rocks split apart.

Amid the cries filling the sky, Lin Suzhi finally understood what Xie Bofei meant by all living beings.

He, too, was willing to give the last of his strength for the people he cherished.

The Wuwang Pearl shattered, and the Heartless Dao was achieved.

Lin Suzhi brought forth his phoenix bone and summoned heavenly fire, delivering a final strike with the power to destroy heaven and earth.

Before closing his eyes, the last thing he remembered was Xie Bofei's face.

At first, Xie Bofei had stopped Lin Suzhi from cultivating the Heartless Dao because he suspected his junior disciple was up to mischief again. But before long, that wariness had changed into something else.

He had his own selfish reasons.

The phoenix brought slaughter, and peace returned to the world. Xie Bofei sat alone at Yaotai for ten days.

Then he stormed the Demon Realm, slew ten guardian demons, reclaimed the Godhood of the Demon God, and ascended on the spot.

He brought back a soul lantern from the Ninth Heaven and nourished it day and night with the blood from his heart.

For the next hundred years, he searched the parasol tree forests of all three realms, seeking the most comfortable home for his little phoenix.

.

Shen Tan was the only son of the Emperor of Beicang. He'd been pampered since childhood, and even when he strutted around Baiyu Capital, the immortals would praise him, saying he looked wonderful doing it.

That was until he accidentally crossed the Second Prince of the Dragon Palace. When the prince failed to win his hand in marriage, he spent every day threatening to kill himself in the Dragon Palace, until he accidentally cracked his head open.

The old Dragon King came to the Heavenly Emperor with a sorrowful face, demanding justice.

The Heavenly Emperor had no choice but to send Shen Tan down to the mortal realm to undergo a love trial and calm things down.

Lingyuan Sect had a junior disciple who was lazy and loved good food, gorgeous as a flower and utterly useless.

His first claim to fame in the cultivation world came when he topped the list in the Flower Pavilion's Illustrated Guide to Beauties of the Cultivation World.

His second came when he became the up-and-coming star Rong Hui's

Fiance.

Shen Tan awoke in a tree, brushed the peach blossom petals from his face, and looked at his master in disbelief. "You mean you want me to go study at the academy with this person?"

Below the tree, Rong Hui's expression was cool, but he nervously clenched his sleeve where no one could see.

Rong Hui came from a small sect. His most valuable possessions were his sword and the jade pendant his parents had left him.

But he would take Shen Tan to the best inns.

Eat at the finest restaurants.

Buy the most fashionable clothes.

Even when Shen Tan casually mentioned wanting to visit the Qionglou pleasure boat, Rong Hui would stay up all night taking on tasks, then use his hard-earned spirit stones to buy two tickets the day before it set sail.

Beneath a sky full of fireworks, Shen Tan smiled brightly. That alone made Rong Hui feel content.

-

As one of the cultivation world's most promising young talents, Rong Hui reached the Great Ascension stage within a century, faster than anyone else. He attained the Great Dao and claimed the top spot on the Cangying Ranking. In this life, his only wish was to marry Shen Tan of Lingyuan Sect.

But disaster always arrived first.

The tribulation was imminent. Blood swept across the universe, and lives were devastated.

Shen Tan of Lingyuan Sect sacrificed himself with the Red Lotus Soul and fell in the far northern river.

He fell from the sky into Rong Hui's arms like a drifting petal.

Rong Hui watched helplessly as Shen Tan's body dissolved into the world.

He lost his reason on the spot. His hair turned white overnight, and he pointed his sword at the Heavenly Dao, every word drenched in blood and tears.

An eternal cry of grief.

The cultivation world's only cultivator who had half a foot in ascension vanished into the lightning formation with his wife's keepsake,

And was erased from the world.
