I Heard You Cultivate the Heartless Dao

The aloof, untouchable top × the lazy fish forced to work hard

Blurb

[Bonus side stories may drop at random!]

Yin Cheng, the senior disciple of Guiyuan Sect, went from an outsider to a cultivation prodigy renowned throughout the cultivation world in less than a century after joining the sect. His talent was unmatched, even surpassing that of the senior disciple of Xuanyang Sect, who cultivated the merciless Dao. The two were jointly hailed as the cultivation world's most promising candidates for ascension. Sadly, they both met tragic ends: one died, and the other's Dao was shattered.

Hundreds of years later, the wealthy Yan family of Yun'an City had dwindled to a single heir. In the end, the young master left Yun'an City. Apart from being rich, he had not a single redeeming quality. He was a spoiled young scoundrel through and through.

Yin Cheng never expected to meet an old acquaintance again so soon. Anyone would have been fine, but it had to be Xiao Yun. They reunited, but neither recognized the other.

He never imagined that someone usually so cold, distant, and taciturn would take the initiative to speak to two strangers. Yin was so startled that he immediately ran off without thinking. Convinced that his unfamiliar appearance would keep him from being recognized, Yin Cheng spoke without a filter, saying whatever he wanted without a care.

But he wanted nothing to do with anyone in the cultivation world, especially Xiao Yun. Yet face-slapping came fast: he kept running into Xiao Yun, who seemed to appear before him at the most unexpected times. Their entanglement grew deeper and deeper, impossible to avoid or escape.

Later, the tangled history between them became impossible to sort out or understand. It was as though they were trapped in a vast web, unable to flee or break free!

Xiao Yun was truly annoying, but Yin Cheng liked him far too much. How could one person's feelings be so complicated?

Xiao Yun had known for a long time that the person he was waiting for would never return.

My next book: My Life as the Villain's Pet Cat

Awakened Villain × Transmigrate into a Book and Save Him

Jiang Miao swore he would never stay up all night reading novels again.

When he woke up, Jiang Miao, who had been an office drone just yesterday, had somehow become the pet cat of the major villain in a modern romance novel he had once read.

Jiang Miao was shocked, horrified, uneasy, and afraid. Nobody had told him you could transmigrate into a book even if you shared no names with anyone in it! And the novel he'd read had never mentioned that the villain kept a cat! He had no idea what happened to that cat in the end, or how it died. How could he not be scared?

Looking at the villain, who was stunningly handsome and successful in every way, Jiang Miao clicked his tongue and shook his head, feeling sorry for him.

The villain was a genius whose intellect was second to none, and his tragic, beautiful fate was practically set in stone. He devoted himself to his career, but no matter how capable or hard-working he was at first, his destiny was to be surpassed by the protagonist and become nothing more than a stepping stone on the protagonist's path to success. Jiang Miao couldn't help sighing to himself.

Still, since he was here, he couldn't just spend all day eating and wearing the villain's things for free. It was just a matter of being an office drone in a different place, and he could handle that. He only wished his body would give him some warning before switching between cat and human, so he could prepare and avoid turning into a person or a cat right in front of the villain every time.

Jiang Miao thought this couldn't go on. It was only a matter of time before he was exposed in front of the villain.

This wasn't the first time they had met. Cats had nine lives, and he had used all nine to meet him across two lifetimes. Was it worth it?

[Lu the menace's daily threats to Jiang the cat]

Lu Sui quietly watched the cat curled up on his lap, sleeping. "They say cats have nine lives. Do you?"

"No way!" Jiang Miao raised his eyelids and meowed at him. "I'm a person! A person!!"

Lu Sui's eyes sparkled with laughter. His mind-reading ability hadn't failed. "Right, I forgot you're a cat. You can't understand what I'm saying."

"Jiujiu, will you stay with me forever?"

"No way!" Jiang Miao turned his head. "You're the villain! You kill without batting an eye! Who'd dare stay by your side? I'm getting out of here!"

"Looks like Jiujiu likes staying with me, too." Lu Sui stroked his back, one pat at a time, his tone full of menace and intimidation. "Jiujiu, you'd better keep your word. If you can't, then..." Lu Sui gave a short laugh, leaving Jiujiu to imagine the rest.

Jiang Miao's fur stood on end, and he meowed furiously without stopping. "No, seriously, who wants to stay with you?!"

Jiang Miao: Farewell, villain. I'm setting sail tonight!

"Don't strange tales say cats have nine lives? Jiujiu, do you have nine lives too?"

"My name is Jiang Miao. Miao means 'few tears,' though despite sharing a character, it doesn't mean 'insignificant.'"

"Why didn't you tell me about these things?"

"I don't remember."

"...I don't remember either."
