I'm the Villainous Male Supporting Character, So Why Are They Looking at Me with Hearts in Their Eyes?

After transmigrating into a cultivation world ruled by women as a vicious male supporting character, Shen Qiuyun only needs to maintain his villainous persona and avoid the painful ending from the original story, where he is tortured to death. Once the female lead ends his life with a single stroke in a fit of anger, he can return to the modern world.

The heroine gets beaten until she's covered in wounds while doing a mission. Deliberately leaving her barely alive, then taking his time before rescuing her, is perfectly reasonable, right?

Having fellow disciples turn on each other, deliberately favoring the cute junior sister until the two best friends become enemies, is perfectly reasonable, right?

His beloved mentor is poisoned, so making her want something she can't have, then running off as soon as he's gotten what he wants, is perfectly reasonable too!

But halfway through the mission, everything starts going wrong. When Shen Qiuyun is backed into a corner, fear finally appears in his eyes.

“Master, do you know what I've been thinking about doing to you, day and night?”

“Martial Aunt, weren't you the one who approached me first?”

“Disciple, I'll say it again. Get over here!”

Clutching the doorframe for dear life, Shen Qiuyun just wants to scream, “I... I'm the one who made you turn against each other! Why don't you hate me??”
