I Became the Number One Cultivator in the Immortal Realm Thanks to an Angsty-Novel System

[Do not buy. This book will be made free soon.]

I didn't outline this novel properly before I started writing it. I've realized the plot has fallen apart, and I can't continue. I'm planning to make it free soon.

He was the most powerful being in the entire cultivation world, the idol of countless young men and women, the embodiment of justice under the Heavenly Dao, and a true chosen one.

Xie Sui: That's right, that's all me.

System: We're in a tragic male-lead novel. Even if everyone misunderstands and betrays you, you still have to keep doing the right thing. You can't explain yourself, turn evil, or give in to despair. You have to wait for the truth to come out, for everyone to regret what they've done, and then calmly forgive them.

This is your destiny.

Xie Sui: A tragic novel? A male lead? My destiny? To hell with that! If I'm expected to pay such a high price, even giving up my life, then I'm going to make it spectacular. Why should I be wrongly accused after doing good deeds?

[You are falsely accused by your junior brother, a demon spy, of envying the talented and plotting to kill your fellow disciples. The spy presents ample evidence, and the elders favor him in their judgment. You are punished with thirty Soul-Piercing Nails, breaking every bone in your body. In the final battle between the immortal and demonic realms, you sacrifice yourself for the Dao. On the day the truth comes out, snow falls from the heavens, and the world mourns for three days without end.]

Xie Sui acknowledged the instructions and said he would carry them out carefully. Then he stabbed his junior brother in the heart. Amid everyone's shocked cries, Xie Sui said indifferently, "I don't need to plot to kill you. I kill you because I want to."

[You fall in love with the young master of the demon clan, but he only thinks you're amusing and toys with you on a whim. He hides his identity, causing everyone to believe you've colluded with the demon clan. As a result, your pipa bones are ripped out, and you're imprisoned in a water dungeon, where no one cares about your cries for help.]

System: Stop causing trouble.

Xie Sui: Of course. I'm not that kind of person.

Then he looked at the handsome, dashing man before him, took out a "Fertility Pill," and said without changing expression, "This medicine will heal your injuries. Take it."

Later, the Demon Lord, disguised as a disciple of the sect, knocked on Xie Sui's door in the middle of the night, his anguished accusations cutting to the bone. "I love you so much. How can you not feel it at all? If you don't want me, fine, but how could you be so cruel as to reject our child, too?"

Xie Sui: Who cares about your love? You can't control your own feelings, so why blame me? Hey, isn't this just a spoiled wife running away while carrying a baby? The only difference is that the person being tormented has changed.

[Your closest friend turns out to be your half-brother. He hates your mother, the woman who seduced his father, and that hatred extends to you. You do everything you can to salvage your friendship, but it makes no difference. In the end, you fall out, and you never hear him say he forgives you before you die.]

Xie Sui put on a hurt expression. "Xiao Chen, do you really hate me?"

Lin Chennian turned red with anxiety and immediately protested, "Who said that? I don't!"

His heart pounded like a drum. So many people admired his senior brother, and now he had finally become the most special one! They shared half their blood, and they would be the closest people in each other's lives.

System (pressing its fingers against its philtrum) (taking a deep breath) (banging its head on the floor): What are you doing, you absolute fool? Stop! This isn't how tragic novels work!

Xie Sui raised an eyebrow. "I made them regret everything, became the moonlight in everyone's heart, and brought justice and peace to the world. Tell me, what haven't I done?"

System: Why does that actually sound reasonable?

The cultivation world's secret: Collecting this novel unlocks a bonus-chapter boost. Please take note.
