The Dragon-Pride Protagonist I Once Bullied Came Looking for Me

Unconventional childhood friends / melodrama

The Tao family was massacred. Tao Qingyan barely escaped, with only a breath left in him, and lay by the roadside waiting to die.

The Bu family found him and saved his life.

He thought Heaven had taken pity on him, but he soon learned the Bu family was hardly a safe haven.

Tao Qingyan endured nine years of abuse at Bu Yao's hands.

She took the only keepsake his parents had left him, ordered the servants to cut off his meals, and badmouthed him to his mother...

She treated him like a dog who came and went at her beck and call.

Tao Qingyan hated her to the bone.

Then Bu Yao was found to have a spiritual root and took him with her to the Yunmiao Sect.

Everything changed.

The once pampered young lady was ignored by everyone at the Yunmiao Sect, while he, thanks to his exceptional talent, was held in high regard.

Tao Qingyan thought he and Bu Yao would never have anything to do with each other again.

But by a stroke of luck, he came into possession of a book.

It said that after the Tao family was massacred, he should have been found by Immortal Venerable Duanchen at the roadside, setting him on the so-called path of a dragon among men.

Bu Yao had never appeared in the original book.

Tao Qingyan suddenly understood. He decided that everything that had happened was something Bu Yao had done on purpose, and he was no longer willing to put up with her.

When he went to confront Bu Yao, he saw her picking on someone else. That person gazed at her with tearful eyes as Bu Yao patted their back and gently comforted them.

It was a gentleness he had never seen from her before.

Tao Qingyan thought he couldn't let Bu Yao use the same methods she'd used to bully him on other disciples. He had to take her away.

Bu Yao transmigrated, and the System told her there was only one way to raise her cultivation: collect the tears shed because of her by handsome men who were powerful or exceptionally talented.

Bu Yao: "..."

System: "Dear, if you don't reach Foundation Establishment before you turn twenty, your soul will scatter. Before that happens, you'll also have to endure having your bones stripped and tendons torn out."

Bu Yao scoffed at this.

Then, when she was seven, she was sitting in a carriage when she happened to glimpse a beautiful boy dying by the roadside. Agonizing pain shot through her bones.

At the same time, she saw a line of golden text beside the boy: "A once-in-a-generation cultivation genius."

Handsome and talented.

The boy met the System's requirements.

The carriage went a little farther, then suddenly turned around.

Bu Yao saved the boy.

It became the decision she regretted most.
