The Beautiful Villain

Ye Nanque never imagined that one day he'd end up inside a cultivation novel, playing one of its villains.

The original character was the main villain: vicious, scheming, and mean-spirited.

Ye Nanque: [What a one-dimensional villain.]

Ye Nanque didn't like such a stereotypical villain, and neither did the System.

He made a few adjustments, adding a little "hypocrisy," "self-righteousness," and "team spirit" to the original character.

Ye Nanque: [Why target the weak protagonist right from the start? He's just a weakling right now! Can't I pretend to show him a little bit of kindness first?]

System's verdict: [Reasonable. Trait unlocked: Hypocritical.]

Ye Nanque: [My master raised me all these years. It's only natural that I have a few ulterior motives when he steals my master and takes the spotlight from me.]

System's verdict: [Good. The character feels more well-rounded.]

Ye Nanque diligently followed the plot, unlocking all kinds of character traits and improving reader satisfaction. Then one day, he woke up to find the half-demon protagonist, Mu Jiulin, kneeling before him.

"Senior Brother is perfect in every way, except that there's never been a place for me in your eyes."

"But that's all right. I have a way to make sure you stay by my side forever."

Hey, man!! Which one of us is the villain here??!!

Outside the little cottage in the woods, the master stood with the tip of his sword touching the ground, murder in his eyes. He was no longer the otherworldly cultivator revered throughout the cultivation world.

Ye Nanque counted off his unlocked character traits as if listing his achievements: "Vicious, check. Hypocritical, check. Self-righteous, check. Fame-seeking..."

"I-innocent and pure?"

What the heck?!

"The one... true love??" Ye Nanque shuddered.

"...Everyone loves him??????"

"What kind of ridiculous traits are these?!"

Here's a recommendation for my upcoming novel, "The Side Character with Good Looks [Quick Transmigration]" (You can add it to your bookmarks by clicking on my profile. It starts in November!)

1.

System: [This is the age of advanced intelligence. Through meticulous refinement, humans have become a perfect fusion of flesh and steel.]

Tang Lin: [Wow.]

System: [But you're different. You're a food-delivery robot.]

Tang Lin: [?]

2.

System: [This is the most chaotic medieval era. Hard liquor, bread, and silver coins are all valuable currency. Saints, knights, and sorcerers will make legends.]

Tang Lin: [Wow.]

System: [But you're different. You're a little crow who has only just taken human form.]

Tang Lin: [...]

3.

System: [This world has the style of supernatural folklore, with no shortage of powerful spirits and demons, as well as skilled demon hunters.]

Tang Lin: [I'm different again?]

System: [That's right, you're different. You're a scholar who can't even lift a chicken.]

4.

System: [The once-prosperous hot spring district has been swallowed by darkness. A bold and clever expedition team arrives, setting off a series of thrilling events.]

Tang Lin: [I know, I'm different.]

System: [That's right. You're just a worker in the hot spring district, earning three thousand yuan a month.]

System: [I'm sorry I can only put you in these minor roles.]

Tang Lin: [It's fine, but what's my mission?]

System: [Your mission is to save the world.]

Tang Lin: [...Can someone earning three thousand a month really do that?]

System: [You can, because you're beautiful.]

Tang Lin: [I can save the world... with my looks?]

As it turned out, apparently he really could.

Highlights: 1. A practice novel about being loved by everyone. The lovable-protagonist factor is high.

Upcoming novel 2: "Friends Doing This Is Totally Normal [ABO]"

The first time Zhong Zhiheng saw Zheng Ang, he was captivated by his beautiful face. He discreetly asked Zhong Mian who the guy was.

Zhong Mian: "He's a new transfer student, an illegitimate son of the Zheng family. He grew up in the countryside and hasn't seen much of the world. His gland is defective, and he still hasn't presented."

After learning the basics about Zheng Ang, Zhong Zhiheng quietly made his move. He cared for him, was considerate, looked after him, and doted on him. Afraid Zheng Ang might be shy or scared, he did all sorts of intimate things under the name of friendship, keeping a watchful eye on him.

"It's normal for friends to help each other."

"Xiao Ang, we're friends. When you're feeling down, you can talk to Heng-ge."

"Friends can even kiss..."

Zhong Zhiheng patiently waited for the day Zheng Ang presented as a pretty omega. A beta would be fine too.

He spent five years waiting. When he returned from a business trip, Zheng Ang had not only presented, but also carried someone else's pheromones on him.

Zhong Zhiheng's eyes reddened with anger, but he didn't dare frighten Zheng Ang. Pretending to be calm, he helped him figure things out: "Who was it that night?"

Zheng Ang answered innocently: "I don't know."

Zhong Zhiheng's heart was bleeding, but on the surface he pretended nothing had happened. "It's okay. The scent isn't strong. They probably gave you a temporary mark when you weren't paying attention. I'll cover it with my pheromones, and then you won't feel uncomfortable."

Zheng Ang: "Heng-ge, is that okay?"

Zhong Zhiheng answered as casually as ever: "Of course. We've known each other for years. It's totally normal for friends to bite each other."

Zheng Ang obediently nodded and said, "Oh."

Just as Zhong Zhiheng was about to bite him, he realized something was wrong. Zheng Ang's strong pheromones weren't compatible with his. In fact, they clashed.

He froze. "Xiao Ang, you presented as an omega, right?"

With his beautiful face, Zheng Ang asked innocently, "Oh, right, they said I presented as an enigma. Heng-ge, what's an enigma? Does that mean I have to bite you? What's wrong? Didn't you say this was normal between friends?"

Zhong Zhiheng immediately regained his composure.

He got out of bed, got dressed, and lit a cigarette.

No, how could Zheng Ang's androgynously beautiful face belong to an enigma?
