Wen Linyu used to be a total pushover. He was the kind of person who, if slapped, would accept a half-hearted “sorry” and immediately reply with “it’s okay.”
That changed when he was transmigrated into a modern cultivation stallion novel. His mission? Play the villain who torments the protagonist most brutally. If he could survive ten years in that role, he’d be allowed to return home.
Thus, Wen Linyu was forced to play the part of a wicked, arrogant Great Demon Lord.
The problem? He was still a coward at heart.
When subordinates betrayed him, he’d stammer through his accusations. When forced to dish out punishment, he’d cry from fear while delivering the softest slaps imaginable.
The actual Demon Lord, watching from the sidelines as the subordinates practically enjoyed the “punishment,” finally reached his limit.
So, Wen Linyu gained a mentor someone to teach him step-by-step how to be a true villain. Under this teacher’s guidance, Linyu grew increasingly adept at his role, finally tasting the thrill of unbridled arrogance.
When the ten years were up, Wen Linyu returned to his original world. Not long after his arrival, the person who once slapped him tried to do it again.
The moment the hand swung toward him, Linyu slammed the person into a wall with a single palm. He then grabbed the offender by the hair and, with a chillingly blank expression, recited the apology the other person had prepared: “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it. Can you forgive me?”
The person, face covered in blood, could only think: If I say it’s okay, will you let go of my hair?
The Wen family recently noticed something very strange about their biological son, whom they’d brought back from the countryside a few months ago.
Their adopted son now claims his nose and scalp ache whenever he sees Linyu, going out of his way to avoid him. Their youngest daughter called him a “bumpkin” one night, only to become obsessed with his handmade trinkets the next day. Even the prestigious music teacher hired to refine his manners claimed his talent surpassed hers and begged to be his student.
That wasn’t even the strangest part. Experts in perfumery, master swordsmen, and even renowned occult grandmasters began seeking out the family just to ask about Wen Linyu.
The Wen parents:
One night, a week after his return, an intruder broke into Linyu’s room. Linyu channeled his energy into his fingertips like a blade, ready to end the intruder’s life.
Instead, his hand was caught, and his spiritual power vanished instantly.
“Who are you?” Linyu asked coldly.
The intruder was none other than the Demon Lord whose body he had occupied. The man’s gaze lingered suggestively on Linyu’s lips and waist. “You lived as me for ten years. Did you really think you could walk away with my cultivation for free?”
Linyu’s eyes darkened. The very first lesson his teacher ever taught him was to use any means necessary for gain even himself.
The Demon Lord, Gu Chi, watched with satisfaction as Linyu obediently began to undress, even though his eyes remained as sharp as knives. Finally, Gu Chi thought, I’ve cured my little disciple of that pesky habit of being grateful.
Later, after experiencing the heights of passion, Gu Chi realized a devastating truth: Wen Linyu had given him his body, but his heart belonged solely to that “teacher” from the other world.
Gu Chi, who was the teacher all along: “…”
