I Mistook the Villain for My Target

[Returning to writing after a year away. 200,000 words already drafted, with updates every night at 6:00. I won't abandon this story, so little angels, please leave comments and add it to your collections!]

Li Tingwen transmigrated into a book. The System told him that if he successfully conquered the Dragon Proud Heaven, he could return to his original world, but then it disappeared without telling him who the Dragon Proud Heaven was.

So, drawing on ten years of experience as an avid reader, Li Tingwen found the biggest villain in the book and took him as his disciple. From then on, he protected his precious disciple without a shred of restraint.

In the heat of the moment, he even kicked the Dragon Proud Heaven out of the immortal sect.

When the System returned and saw the villain, it was dumbstruck. “Oh my god, what have you done? He's the villain! You're on your own now!”

Then the System ran off again.

Li Tingwen: ...

Not long afterward, the Dragon Proud Heaven returned in triumph, crippled the villain's cultivation foundation, and imprisoned and tortured him.

As for Li Tingwen, he was only put under house arrest. Even more absurdly, the Dragon Proud Heaven actually confessed to him!

The System popped up at this point, acting smug. “Congratulations! You completed the conquest! Choose to leave now and you can return to your original world!”

Li Tingwen sneered. “Oh, sure. You were nowhere to be seen through the whole process, but now that the fruit's ripe, you're here to pick it. Dream on.”

The System was speechless. It silently ended their bond and went back to its little black room.

After trying every way he could think of to win Li Tingwen over, the Dragon Proud Heaven resorted to a threat. “Become my Dao companion, or I'll kill your precious disciple.”

Li Tingwen had no choice but to agree, on one condition: the villain had to be released.

On the wedding day, the hall was draped in red silk, and immortal music filled the air.

A streak of sword light descended from the ninth heaven, slicing through a thousand yards of red silk.

The villain, whose cultivation foundation had once been crippled, rode the clouds in. With one stroke, he defeated the Dragon Proud Heaven and pulled Li Tingwen into his arms.

“Master,” the man said, smiling gently, though his voice was chilling, “how could you get married without inviting your disciple?”
