The 1970s: The Book Transmigration Villain Quits

On the twenty-eighth, the book will go VIP, with three chapters released that day.

Born in the 1970s after transmigrating into a book, Zhang Mengzhi only learns he's in a novel after returning to the city from his rural assignment.

In the book, he and his family are all villains, the kind whose sole purpose is to oppose the male and female leads.

As villains, of course their ending is grim: they become stepping stones for the leads to make a name for themselves.

Zhang Mengzhi can't understand how he and his family became villains.

His father is an honest family man! He works diligently at the factory, hands over every cent of his monthly wages, and doesn't even drink.

His mother is an ordinary housewife who's never strayed beyond three li from home, or even been to the city. Her whole world is her husband and children.

His older sister isn't as pretty or as educated as the female lead. She's just an ordinary young woman of the era, and her husband is an ordinary man too. Since getting married, she rarely visits her family.

His younger sister is cute, sure, but she's still in middle school! Every day, all she does after coming home is complain she's hungry. She has no interest in anything else, and her biggest struggle is dealing with math.

As for him, he's good-looking and got into college. But after the female lead broke off their engagement, he refused to return the two hundred yuan betrothal money, and so his whole family became villains.

He made a perfectly reasonable demand to recover a debt, yet got branded a villain, leading to his whole family meeting a tragic end. Zhang Mengzhi won't stand for it!

So when the male lead gets into a fight, Zhang Mengzhi calls the police.

When the female lead comes after him to avenge the male lead, Zhang Mengzhi decisively injures himself, earning her an assault charge and ensuring that the two leads meet up behind bars.

He, meanwhile, becomes an upstanding citizen, keeping his dignity intact!

The male and female leads are sent to reform through labor, while Zhang Mengzhi and his family celebrate with drinks.

Hmph. You wanted to use me and my family as stepping stones to help you succeed? I'll turn the tables and use you two as stepping stones instead.

The whole family loves the title of Model Citizen!

Thanks to that reputation, the local government supports his business, and thugs don't dare come into his shops to demand protection money. Even when he's walking down the street, parents point him out as an example to their children.

A few years later, when the male and female leads get out of prison, he's already the wealthiest restaurateur in the city.

This time, the leads and he have completely swapped places!

My new saved-for-later book, Myth Reborn, is now available. If you're interested, please add it to your favorites.

After the spiritual qi revival, humanity was no longer the ruler of Earth overnight, and countless people were killed or injured.

The Heavenly Court and the Underworld, demons and ghosts.

Things from mythology began appearing one by one in the human world.

To protect themselves, the government began appointing people to divine positions to safeguard humanity.

After ten years of fighting, humanity and the demons and ghosts reached a brief peace.

Xiao Qi's parents were national heroes, appointed as human gods by the state before their deaths.

They died bravely protecting ordinary people from demons. As their son, Xiao Qi was taken in by the state. After graduating from college, he inherited his parents' divine positions.

He returned to his parents' hometown and became a humble local earth god and water god.

Everyone says being a god is easy. Xiao Qi just wants to give those people a piece of his mind.

Every day, he either patrols his territory and waters or works in the fields by his home.

He also has to go fight monsters to level up from time to time. He barely gets any time off, and he's even busier than he was as a human.

Worse, he holds two divine positions, so there's no chance of slacking off.

"Earth God, please bless us with a bountiful harvest."

"Water God, the crops are already in the fields. Please send us some rain!"

The people pray in the temples of the Earth God and the Water God.

Receiving their prayers, Xiao Qi holds the Earth Seal over his head and the Water God's Pearl in his hand, bringing rain to the land in his domain and blessing the people with a rich harvest.

"Hey, little god over there, have you finished your tasks? Ten divine talismans, ten spirit herbs, and the regular monthly assignments from the state."

Just as Xiao Qi is so busy he can't even get home, he gets a call from his superior.

"What? Why do I still have to meet performance targets after becoming a god?!"

"Cut the chatter and finish your tasks."

"Got it. I'll turn them in right away."

He hurriedly draws talismans and picks spirit herbs to complete his assignments.

He looks at the faintly visible barrier in the sky. It shows that the five spiritual elements are incomplete. Of the five spiritual creatures of heaven and earth, the Qilin has gone missing, leaving a flaw in the barrier protecting Huaxia. A breach appears every ten days, letting demons and ghosts enter Huaxia and slaughter people across the land. Ordinary people can't withstand even one swipe of their claws.

As a god, he's responsible for the lives of ordinary people and the security of the country. Whenever demons or ghosts appear, he must become a warrior and fight them, which is why Xiao Qi is often injured.

Fortunately, whenever he encounters danger, the national response team arrives in time, keeping him from becoming a national hero like his parents.
