I died as a hardcore gamer, only to open my eyes in a cultivation fantasy I once played. Not as the hero. Not even as a helpful mentor. or a big villian... But as the cannon fodder destined to die before the first act even concludes.
I recognize this world instantly—the sprawling mansions of nobility, the immortal sects hidden in misty mountains, the power hierarchy where cultivators stand above common folk. I've played through this story dozens of times, defeated every hidden boss, unlocked every secret ending. And now I'm trapped inside it, wearing the skin of the game's first villain.
My position? The worthless young master of a prestigious family, universally despised yet secretly possessing a dormant bloodline that nobody in-game ever discovered because this character dies too quickly.
But something is wrong. Characters are behaving differently than they did in the game. Events are unfolding in unexpected ways. The cold beauty who should immediately despise me seems strangely interested in my skills. The vixen villianess who orchestrated my demise now studies me with curiosity.
Is my presence changing the storyline? Or was there always more to this world than what players could see through their screens?
With each deviation from the script I memorized, my meta-knowledge becomes less reliable. Yet it remains my greatest weapon as I navigate political intrigue, forge unlikely alliances, and desperately work to awaken powers that were never meant to be unlocked by a character designed only to die.
I refuse to be expendable. I reject the role assigned to me. In a world where destiny is supposedly predetermined, I will rewrite the algorithm itself—or break the entire system trying.

I've noticed that many people are going to other websites to read the chapters.As I mentioned before, this ruins the daily release schedule and slows down the uploads.


From now on, we won't be changing chapters after uploading them—we'll just publish directly.


So please support us by only reading on Webnovel and not on any other sites.


Thank you again, and enjoy the mass release!


Yino tamed Mei faster than he'd expected.


They couldn't lounge around like they were at home. Search parties from the Lin and Liu mansions would arrive at any minute. Even with time running out, Yino chose to cultivate with Mei right there in the forest, insurance against another violent outburst. The stubborn flowergirl needed her nutrients watered properly.


When Mei's body started responding, Yino ditched his usual gentle approach. No slow buildup, no tender foreplay, he went straight for the most brutal method he knew.
