I'm the Villain. What's Wrong with Tricking You Out of One True Love?

Pan Li had known since childhood that he was destined to be a villain.

To fully live up to his villainous identity, Pan Li specifically cultivated sinister techniques that every sect avoided like the plague.

At fifteen, his cultivation reached its peak. That night, a blood moon hung in the sky.

At sixteen, he wounded the chief disciples of all the major sects and became a notorious villain whom everyone in the cultivation world wanted dead.

At seventeen, even ordinary people had heard of him. They posted his portrait on their doors as a guardian to keep out ghosts and monsters. Just hearing his name was enough to stop a child from crying at night.

At eighteen...

At eighteen, Pan Li happened to buy a few essential villain manuals at a bookshop.

After studying them thoroughly, Pan Li realized with dismay that all his efforts so far had been headed in the wrong direction. Heartbroken, he changed course overnight.

From then on, Jade Moon Mountain had one fewer evil spirit who roamed around at night and randomly chose a lucky victim to send on their way. In his place was a little liar with innocent, doe-like eyes, who tricked the cultivation world's most beautiful man into falling deeply in love with him.

.

When Wu Yikai's sect was slaughtered, he was waiting to die amid a mountain of corpses when a young man saved him.

The young man demanded that he love him with all his heart. He agreed.

The young man demanded that they become cultivation partners at once and pledge their lives to each other in secret. He agreed to that, too.

But...

When the young man declared that he was the great fiend whom everyone in the cultivation world wanted dead, and told Wu Yikai to hate and resent him, to wish he could tear him to pieces, Wu Yikai couldn't agree.

Beneath the blood moon, Wu Yikai could only gaze at the young man who was about to leave and plead through his tear-reddened eyes.

"Please... don't go..."

P.S. Pan Li is the shou.
