[An overpowered golden finger, a shameless top who keeps his head down until the end x a righteous-and-evil, anti-manipulation tea expert bottom who kills without hesitation]
Qu Shaoxin went night-climbing in the wilderness. He hadn't checked his horoscope before setting out, and after struggling all the way to the summit, he happened to arrive at an auspicious moment. A beam of golden light fell from the sky, and with a crack, it sucked him and his core into the cultivation world.
Good news #1: He has a System, and its mission is brutally simple: Just don't die.
Qu Shaoxin: Who do you think you're talking to?!
Bad news #1: He has to live for a hundred years.
Qu Shaoxin, with his mortal body: Then I guess I'd better work hard at staying alive...
Good news #2: He looks just like the Demon Lord, the man everyone knows about, everyone fears, and whose slightest gesture can turn heaven and earth upside down.
Qu Shaoxin: I'm clinging to this powerful backer for sure. From today on, I'm his long-lost twin brother!
Bad news #2: The Demon Lord has been dead for ages... and the immortal sects he once terrorized are still hunting down his surviving followers.
Qu Shaoxin, who looks just like the Demon Lord but has a mortal body: Then... then I guess I'd better work really hard at staying alive without anyone noticing...
The System is basically useless. All it does is send him survival guides.
For example, when Cheng Lingyu, a man famed throughout the world and revered by all, held a sword to his neck, the System chimed in.
Its one-word command: "Kneel."
Qu Shaoxin dropped to his knees with a thud: ...I'm not him~
Cheng Lingyu: "I know."
Qu Shaoxin thought, You bastard, if you know, why are you holding a blade to my throat? But he put on a docile, cowardly smile. Even so, Cheng Lingyu didn't lower his sword. Instead, he smiled and assigned him an important mission.
Pretend to be the Demon Lord.
Qu Shaoxin: "!!! What the hell are you, "
System: Say yes.
Qu Shaoxin: ?
Recently, several troubling things have happened among the demon clans.
First, the Demon Lord has come back to life.
Second, the Demon Lord has lost his memories.
Third, the resurrected Demon Lord has lost his former bloodthirsty nature. Whatever people ask him, he always gives the same answer.
"Don't hurt anyone. Apart from that, do things the way you used to."
One day, the two guardians rushed over, looking excited. "We've captured that senior brother again. Should we deal with him the same way as before?"
Qu Shaoxin's thoughts spun. Before? Looks like this damned senior brother is pretty tough. He was captured before and still managed to survive just fine.
"Right! Do it the same way as before."
So when he returned to his bedroom that night, he saw Cheng Lingyu, stripped down to just his inner robe, his whole body flushed red.
