Heaven's Chosen Villain: Cultivating Immortality by Taking My Enemy as My Master

Fifteen-year-old Yao Xiu is one of the surviving people of the Sui Kingdom.

She practices boxing in an underground fighting pit and serves wine at a tavern, saving up tuition for the Military Academy. She dreams of learning to command troops one day, so the people of her hometown will suffer less bullying.

But the man who takes her as his disciple is none other than the commander of the Yu dynasty, the one who destroyed the Sui Kingdom.

His name is Tianming, and he wears black armor.

People hope for a hero to receive Heaven's Mandate, raise the banner of rebellion, overthrow the tyrant, and restore the land.

Her new master, however, is best at bringing a hero's story to an end halfway through.

Yao Xiu follows him out of Linchuan. She learns the sword, how to command an army, and how to fight on a real battlefield. She also learns how to face the heroes who rise with the tide of fate.

She wants to go from an orphan who can't even scrape together her tuition to someone who can decide her hometown's future.

But what kind of future can someone who learned her skills from the man who destroyed her country bring back home?
