The Black Lotus Villain is Saving Himself!

An ambitious and seductive protagonist who appears gentle and patient on the surface. This is a journey from a background character to a universal heartthrob.

Fu Yun cultivated immortality for decades with mediocre results. He suddenly discovered that he was actually a villainous “Furnace” character in a harem-style novel.

Early Plot: Fu Yun is consumed by jealousy and hatred toward the protagonist. While he acts like a kind senior brother on the surface, he secretly sabotages the protagonist, which causes the protagonist’s spiritual breakthrough to fail.

Later Plot: Fu Yun’s “Furnace” constitution is eventually exposed. Under the pressure of his sect’s persuasion, he “voluntarily” allows himself to be used as a cultivation tool by the heavily injured protagonist, which results in his own cultivation being completely destroyed. Ultimately, the protagonist’s harem members kill Fu Yun without a second thought.

The System’s Warning: The System repeatedly advised him that if he wanted to live, he must win over the protagonist and make the protagonist love and protect him.

Fu Yun’s Response: Fu Yun followed the advice readily and told the System not to worry. However, he immediately turned around and drugged the protagonist with the intention of killing him.

The System was stunned and asked if he had lost his mind. Fu Yun was confused by the question and asked why it mattered, as he was supposed to be the villain. He believed that since he was a villain, there was nothing he should fear.

Because a “Furnace” body usually has blocked meridians that make traditional cultivation difficult, Fu Yun decided to force his way through. He began practicing forbidden absorption techniques. He disdained bullying the weak and instead focused his efforts on the protagonist’s future harem members.

He seduced the rigid and traditional young swordsman.

He tamed the protagonist’s future fated spirit beast.

He treated his elders and seniors with calculated gentleness and feigned obedience. Once they lowered their guard, he seized their original spiritual energy.

After he achieved his goals, he would either abandon his victims or flee.

Later, during the Great Immortal Sect Competition, Fu Yun finally defeated the protagonist after a battle of a thousand moves. The geniuses in the stands and the high-ranking masters in the clouds gazed at the stage with a mixture of love and hatred for Fu Yun. Thousands of cultivators watched him with bated breath, believing he would become the future leader who would uphold the righteous path.

The Turning Point: At the height of his fame, Fu Yun killed the sect elders and shattered his disciple jade token. He stated nonchalantly that the sect did not teach him the true Great Dao, and therefore, he was leaving to find his own path.

He betrayed the Immortal Sect, entered the Demon Abyss, and plotted for eternal life. Fu Yun never looked back.

Surprisingly, the protagonist and the harem members no longer viewed him with indifference or as a slave. They begged him to use them for his cultivation and offered their own spiritual foundations to pave the way for Fu Yun’s journey.

One-Sentence Summary: An ambitious and beautiful “Furnace” protagonist.
