After Taking the Villain's Place as the Beloved of All

Shen Biezhou awakened. He realized he was inside a cultivation novel about a man adored by everyone, and that he was a disposable extra whose immortal bones would be stolen to pave the way for the protagonist. Today was supposed to be the day he died, but somehow, he survived. Not only that, Xie Guihuai, the biggest villain in the entire story, was lying dead at his feet. Shen Biezhou looked at the bloody stab wound in his chest. He casually tossed aside the blood-soaked dagger in his hand and toyed with a token carved with the character "Xie." "A useless nobody can be a villain, too?" From now on, Shen Biezhou would be the greatest villain under heaven. - The first thing to do as a villain was, naturally, cause trouble. Shen Biezhou swept his sword out, pinning the protagonist to the ground without so much as blinking. Looking at that pitifully beautiful face, he remained calm as still water, waiting for the powerful backers behind this person to come after him, so he could fight them and use their bones to pave his path to the heavens. But the expected clash of blades never came. Instead, he got strange looks from everyone around him. The stern immortal lord who should have bent the rules for others fought tooth and nail to take him as a disciple. The head of a powerful family, who should have thrown his weight around and abused his privileges, lavished him with riches. The selfish, violent genius ghost took his hand and begged for his affection. Shen Biezhou: ? - And that wasn't all. A few more "strange people" appeared around Shen Biezhou. His gentle, refined senior brother who taught him kept staring at the nape of his neck. The weak victim's eyes flashed green while they were out on an adventure. A murderous ghost stood by his bed in the middle of the night, gently stroking his hair... After it happened once, then twice, Shen Biezhou's hand grew tired from killing them, and he grew sick of it. So when the real one finally showed up, he ran his sword through that man's chest, too. He thought that would finally put an end to the problem, but the ghost suddenly grabbed his hand, its touch icy to the bone. Shen Biezhou looked up and met Xie Guihuai's dark green eyes, madness roiling in their depths. An intangible ghostly aura brushed against his nape, waist, and ankles, possessive and intimate.
