[Wuxia Crossover] Reborn as a Villain, I Just Want to Pray and Keep Vegetarian

[For the next book, Anime Crossover: A Guide to Playing an Iceberg, check out my profile. The blurb is at the very bottom.]

Ye Yu transmigrated into a martial arts world and became the first obstacle on Chu Xiangshuai's path to godhood, the first villainous BOSS to be defeated: the Seven Wonders Monk.

As a decent man steeped in the twenty-four-character motto, he declared, "This humble monk is a proper Buddhist. I only want to practice martial arts and chant sutras. Fighting and killing are mere clouds passing by."

His mom urged him to answer the call and get to work already.

The Marvelous Monk: I reject the rat race, starting with myself. Villains have rights too.

And what about the mess left behind by not following the plot?

The Marvelous Monk: Close the door and unleash Chu Xiangshuai.

After much hard work, our master finally turned his sharply declining life trajectory into a heart-stopping EKG, and even managed to turn a certain male fox into a loyal dog.

A cause for celebration.

One day, people happened to catch the two walking arm in arm, acting very affectionate.

Beggar Clan's young master: Bro, don't you love me anymore?

Cold-blooded assassin: You'd forget your friends for a pretty face.

Bat Island's master: I never expected the master's gaze to be just as discerning as mine.

The Marvelous Monk: ...?

The Hero: Being envied is probably my destiny.

The Marvelous Monk: Which family's daughter has fallen for you this time?

The Hero: ...

Everyone: Suddenly, we're not so envious and jealous anymore.

A cool, gentle, chaste, and adored uke who doesn't realize he's a heartthrob X a seemingly flirtatious romantic hero who's actually a devoted master of seduction

[Reading Guide]

1. Primarily set in the Hero's world, with other martial arts villains making surprise appearances as the plot calls for them.

2. Follows the uke's perspective. The pairing is a certain Thief-Slayer. A straight man gets turned gay (though in fact, they're both bi). A slow burn at first, with various side characters harboring one-sided crushes in the middle. One-on-one ending, happy ending.

3. Also known as The Villain and the Mary Sue Protagonist Get a Happy Ending After I Transmigrate into a Villain and The White Moonlight Villain's Guide to Self-Rescue.

4. The original characters belong to the source material; any out-of-character behavior is my doing. Lots of headcanon. You can enjoy this without having read the original.
