Zhu Qing'ai was a CEO about to be forced into taking office. With his dream of living like a carefree slacker shattered, he wrote a revenge-fantasy xianxia novel.
In the story, the protagonist leveled up every day, the villains spent all year picking fights, and only the Demon Venerable, a major villain who shared his name, had an easy life.
The good news: Zhu Qing'ai transmigrated into a book as the Demon Venerable :)
The bad news: He was poisoned before he could even start lazing around :(
The Left Protector, who had poisoned him, twirled the only antidote between his fingers and smiled. "Wipe out a clan tomorrow, seize a treasure the day after, and set something on fire the day after that. You can handle it yourself."
Zhu Qing'ai: "QAQ!"
"Level up, rob the protagonist's escort, and fight him. I'm not helping."
"T^T!!!"

Xie Heng awakened.
He realized he was the villain in a book, destined to die at the protagonist's hands one day.
So Xie Heng planned to use the Demon Venerable's power to destroy the protagonist's sect first, kill his friends next, then steal his cultivation and finish him off for good.
However,
During the battle to destroy the sect, Xie Heng stared at the Demon Venerable, squatting beneath a tree to slack off and munch on watermelon, his temple twitching.
"What are you doing?"
"Eating watermelon. I just heard from a young disciple who ran past that the Great Elder shoved his wife out to take a blade for him. Tsk, what a piece of work! Make sure you hit him extra hard!"
Xie Heng sneered. "Swords don't have eyes. Aren't you afraid a flying sword might come down and slice you up?"
Zhu Qing'ai waved a hand. "Everything is fate. Life and death are beyond our control."
He held up his watermelon, his gaze sincere. "Want some? It's really sweet!"

Later,
Lying in Xie Heng's arms, Zhu Qing'ai thought that pursuing a career wasn't such a bad idea after all.
Kissing Zhu Qing'ai's hair, Xie Heng thought that maybe living this carefree way wasn't so bad either.
But the plot still inevitably reached its predetermined ending: the Demon Venerable was pierced through the heart by the protagonist's sword and died in a frigid pool.
After his character's death sent him back to the modern world, Zhu Qing'ai spent five sleepless days writing a happy epilogue and transmigrated into the book again, only to find that five years had passed in its world.
He watched the righteous cultivators waiting outside the Demon Palace, taking numbered tickets for their turn to go inside and kowtow to his memorial tablet. Slowly, he typed out a question mark.
0.0?
The great villain, feared by all, concealed the sinister madness in his eyes and carried Zhu Qing'ai into the underground palace he had meticulously decorated. In a pitiful voice, he said, "With the Venerable gone, they all bully me."
· A laid-back, salted-fish-like bottom * a sharp-tongued, career-obsessed top (a little unhinged)
· No favoritism toward either lead. The top and bottom are absolutely devoted to each other!

Theme: There is no single best way to live. Every way of life is an answer.
So deserted? The copywriting is very good, I hope the author will continue to update [Compare Heart]
