[Dragon-Blooded Beauty Who Lives Only to Cultivate x Jealousy-Fueled Love Rivalry]

After more than a century of painstaking cultivation, he woke up back before he had ever begun.

At a glance, Ji Wuwang looked like a paragon of righteousness, with bright eyes, pearly teeth, and a face as flawless as jade.

But looks can be deceiving. Ji Wuwang was no immortal who saved the world. He was the most notorious demon in the cultivation world.

After successfully ascending, the great demon Ji Wuwang suddenly got bound to a System. The System told him he was actually a dragon-blooded protagonist, but due to a few oversights, it had failed to give him his protagonist buff in time. So the System decided to "reward" him with a second chance at life.

Ji Wuwang had spent over a hundred years cultivating before finally ascending to immortality. Then the System forcibly sent him back to when he was fifteen. After being reborn, Ji Wuwang had lost everything, and was even forced to become the disciple of his greatest enemy from his past life.

Faced with such a drastic change, Ji Wuwang chose to give up trying.

"Is there really nothing you wish you hadn't missed out on?"

The System asked this for the first time as it watched its Host slacking off.

"No."

Ji Wuwang answered firmly.

When the System brought it up again later, Ji Wuwang changed the subject and never gave it a proper answer again.

At first, the System believed him. But later, it began to suspect that things weren't quite as they seemed.

If he had no regrets, why was Ji Wuwang trying so hard to prevent the tragedies of his past life? Why did he keep doing "foolish things" that had nothing to do with improving his cultivation?

The moment he accidentally saved a righteous cultivator he had been friends with in his past life, Ji Wuwang's path was set to diverge from the one he had walked before.

As for becoming his nemesis's disciple, Ji Wuwang's stance was simple: whoever wanted the job could have it. It certainly wasn't going to be him.

But the first time he met his greatest enemy in this life, that man forcibly brought him back to the Kunxuan Sect and took him in as a disciple.

And so, Ji Wuwang stayed at the Kunxuan Sect.

In his past life, Ji Wuwang hadn't known many people. Most of them had been demonic cultivators.

After being reborn, he gradually met all sorts of people.

Some had been close friends in his past life, some had been bitter enemies, some had been strangers, and some had only crossed his path briefly.

It was as though an unseen thread had suddenly appeared, inexplicably binding them to Ji Wuwang. And so they became entangled in one another's lives, clashing and quarreling, and developing feelings they couldn't put into words.

But Ji Wuwang was an emotionless blockhead who only wanted to cultivate. He never noticed the feelings people around him had for him, and focused entirely on cultivating until he could ascend to immortality.

A kiss can cure poison? Then let's kiss.

But why is my waist so sore?

A friend wants to hold me while we sleep after I've had too much to drink? Fine, let's sleep.

But why are my lips swollen?

Whatever. Nothing matters more than cultivation.

Blockhead Ji Wuwang discovered that wherever he went, resources seemed to find him. The junk he picked up along the road turned out to be priceless treasures, and one wrong step could land him in a secret realm. His cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.

System: I told you, that's just how our dragon-blooded protagonist is. He has everything: confidantes, heavenly treasures, and rare, exotic beasts.

Ji Wuwang: What's a confidante? Cultivation is awesome!

Ji Wuwang kept telling himself that once he grew stronger, he would wipe out his greatest enemy and, just like in his past life, become the man's defeated subordinate!

Before he could wipe out his nemesis, he accidentally got poisoned by a flower in a secret realm and was forced to share an intimate encounter with him. After the poison was neutralized, Ji Wuwang belatedly realized that his nemesis was looking at him strangely.

And he wasn't the only one. The people around him all seemed to be acting strangely, too.

The System explained that they were all confidants. If he couldn't have female confidantes, then male confidantes would do just as well. How could its Host, a dragon-blooded protagonist, not have a few confidants?

The System didn't get to enjoy its satisfaction for long before Ji Wuwang asked, "Why is he looking at me like that? He must be trying to humiliate me!"

System: ...

But before he could sort out these tangled feelings, disaster struck.

The entire cultivation world blamed Ji Wuwang for its crimes. To protect his sect, Ji Wuwang left of his own accord and turned demonic.

When he appeared in the cultivation world's sights again, Ji Wuwang had become the Demon Lord everyone feared.

A peek at my next upcoming novel, The Tyrant Rejects the Cannon Fodder Script

Rumor had it that Eruowen, King of the Vampires, was cruel and cold-hearted, a notorious womanizer who used his handsome looks to seduce men and climb the ranks, then abused his power to slaughter innocent nobles.

As the first leader of the vampires, Eruowen had earned himself the title of "Tyrant."

The nobles hated him with a passion, while the Tyrant himself spent his days and nights with his beloved pets, lost in a life of sensual indulgence.

One day, the Tyrant found a book.

It said he was a cannon-fodder character in a novel, destined to be a stepping stone for the male protagonist. The hero would overthrow the Tyrant's rule and bring the vampires into a new age.

And that hero was none other than Bai Dongqing, a new recruit in the royal guard.

*

Bai Dongqing was a slave.

One day, he got bound to a System.

The System told him he was in a novel and was its male protagonist. He needed to overthrow the Tyrant's rule and bring the vampires into a new age, and the System would help him join the Tyrant's royal guard.

Bai Dongqing: You can get me into the royal guard?

System: Of course! And that's not all. I can help you overthrow the Tyrant's rule, and then you'll have anything you want!

Anything he wanted?

All Bai Dongqing had ever wanted was...

*

Eruowen kept many pets.

Some were docile, others vicious.

But at a single command from him, they would obey and tear their prey to pieces.

Eruowen loved keeping pets, and enjoyed the process of taming the disobedient ones.

It was the greatest pleasure of his long life.

So...

Eruowen planted a foot on the back of Bai Dongqing's hand.

"Wretched slave, wag your tail and beg me for mercy."

Theme: Face adversity and never give up.
