"I... I am the Prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Xianzong?!"
Zhou Xianzong, who was lying on a large chair, suddenly jolted awake, his eyes wide with disbelief.
After piecing together the memories in his mind, his face completely froze.
"What the heck! Wasn't I up all night reading a novel by Dou Da last night? How did I suddenly cross into the novel? And become the final boss, Zhou Xianzong, the great villain?!"
Zhou Xianzong really wanted to cry.
The novel was titled *Legend of the Strange Fire*. Its protagonist, Xiao Potian, was an illegitimate child of a prominent family. However, instead of progressing, his cultivation regressed. Three years ago, he accidentally joined the Qingyang Sect.
He was extraordinarily talented, far surpassing his peers.
But because his spiritual energy was absorbed by an old man residing in a necklace around his neck, his strength stagnated, stuck at the Third Level of Body Forging.
For years, he was always the target of ridicule.
Fortunately, he eventually became a disciple of the old man in the necklace. He then created a huge sensation, defeating a hidden old monster with his fists and kicking a great villain with his feet.
Zhou Xianzong was one of those villains.
Not only that, in the novel, he was also depicted as a devoted follower who worshipped the female lead.
For her, he was willing to do anything, even sacrificing everything.
To pursue her, he even abandoned his luxurious life in the Zhou Dynasty and came to the Qingyang Sect to train.
Supposedly to train, but in reality, he was just cannon fodder.
Because the female lead, Luo Le'er, was the daughter of the Qingyang Sect leader.
She was arrogant and exceptionally talented, only interested in great and martial arts genius men. How could she ever look at Zhou Xianzong? In the end, Zhou Xianzong met a tragic death at the hands of the man Luo Le'er loved.
"I... can I just give up?!"
Zhou Xianzong sobbed uncontrollably.
Others who crossed into another world always became the protagonist, defying the heavens and earth, making their enemies tremble in fear.
Why, when it was his turn, did he become the hated great villain?
Damn it, I don't want to play anymore!
Zhou Xianzong already had a plan. If he couldn't fight, so be it—he'd just avoid Xiao Potian. With his status as a prince, he could live as he pleased, indulging in luxury.
He wasn't that foolish Zhou Xianzong, he didn't need to sacrifice an entire forest for one tree named Luo Le'er.
In this world, there were many beautiful women. Wouldn't it be better to embrace them left and right?
If his father died, the entire Great Zhou Dynasty would be his. What couldn't he get?
Thinking this far, Zhou Xianzong sprawled out on the large chair, relaxed.
*DING!*
Suddenly, an electronic mechanical sound rang out.
"Congratulations, host has successfully bound with the Great Villain System. Please follow the storyline and complete the tasks assigned by the system. Upon task completion, the host can return to the original world!"
A system?!
Zhou Xianzong sprang up, his eyes wide open.
What was this? Was this his golden finger?
"Considering the host is a beginner, the system is providing a special reward: the skill *Writing a Diary Can Make You Strong*. The host can randomly obtain soft coins, martial arts techniques, divine pills, treasure medicines, and more..."
"Writing a diary can make you strong? This skill is amazing!"
Zhou Xianzong burst into laughter, feeling happiness come too suddenly.
As long as he utilized his writing talent from his previous world, what diary couldn't he write? The rewards would pile up, especially with soft coins. Tsk tsk... if he could earn trillions, returning to his original world, wouldn't he be on par with tycoons?
*DANG DANG DANG!*
While Zhou Xianzong was daydreaming, the Qingyang Sect's bell rang.
"This bell sound... is it the start of the Qingyang Sect's annual Martial Arts Competition Week?"
Zhou Xianzong jolted. Based on his memories, today was indeed the day of the Qingyang Sect's Martial Arts Competition Week.
Xiao Potian, who had been mocked, would create a huge sensation in this competition, crushing his peers with absolute strength and instantly captivating Luo Le'er's heart.
Not only that, after securing first place, Xiao Potian even boldly challenged him.
As the Great Zhou Prince, Zhou Xianzong held a high status. Seeing the woman he liked infatuated with another man, he grew furious and immediately stepped onto the stage to challenge Xiao Potian. But due to his weaker strength, he was defeated and became Xiao Potian's stepping stone.
Zhou Xianzong suddenly felt energized. Unexpectedly, his turn to shine came so quickly.
Inspiration for writing flowed like a river.
He hurriedly grabbed his diary and began writing with enthusiasm.
[I'm really unlucky, clearly a transmigrator, but I don't have the protagonist's fate, instead becoming the hated great villain.]
[If I follow the plot, in today's competition, I have to lose to Xiao Potian. Damn it, should I just faint or pretend to fly out and roll around before passing out?]
[Never mind, this round just needs to make Xiao Potian look great, boost his prestige, and make Luo Le'er, that man-obsessed girl, go crazy over him. Mission accomplished!]
[Luo Le'er is weird too, her face always looks flat, like everyone owes her millions. I'm a prince of a nation, rich, if she doesn't like me, fine, but she falls for a poor dog!]
[I was also stupid, why did I fall for a girl like Luo Le'er? In this sect, there are many other flowers and butterflies, picking one would be better than her. If that's not enough, taking them all wouldn't be a problem, why fixate on one tree!]
[Xiao Potian is funny too, after beating me, what did he say? Thirty years on the east side of the river, thirty years on the west side, don't underestimate a poor youth. Luo Le'er heard that and became his die-hard fan, totally obsessed, haha... makes me laugh out loud.]
[Man-obsessed girl, her brain must be broken!]
After writing at length, pouring out all his frustrations in the diary, Zhou Xianzong felt relieved.
*DING!*
"Congratulations, host has completed the diary writing task. Reward: Unbeatable Steel Body, 10,000 soft coins, +5 charm value!"
"What?! Unbeatable Steel Body? This body protection technique is incredible, said to make the body as hard as steel, and if trained to the peak, even bullets can't penetrate!"
Zhou Xianzong was overjoyed.
With the Unbeatable Steel Body, no matter how hard Xiao Potian hit him, he wouldn't feel pain.
He laughed widely as he headed toward the competition arena. Along the way, he ordered his followers to spread the news.
What news?
Of course, the news that Xiao Potian, the loser, would be humiliated and beaten in the arena.
First, build an image of Xiao Potian as an oppressed child. Then, when he showcased his greatness and created a huge sensation, tsk tsk... that contrast would surely drive Luo Le'er crazy with obsession!
Meanwhile, at the back mountain of the Qingyang Sect.
Luo Le'er rose from the lake with a wet body, her hair cascading over her shoulders, incredibly alluring.
Today was the Qingyang Sect's annual Martial Arts Competition Week, so of course, she had to participate. Coincidentally, she had finished her secluded training today, so she deliberately bathed in the lake.
But as she dried her body and dressed, preparing to head to the competition arena, a glowing golden book suddenly fell from the sky in front of her.
Luo Le'er initially thought it was a world-shaking secret manual. But upon seeing the title, her face flushed with embarrassment and anger.
On the cover, it was boldly written: *Zhou Xianzong's Diary*.
"Zhou Xianzong, you pervert!"
Luo Le'er was so annoyed her chest heaved.
She wanted to destroy the diary with her sword, but curiosity led her to open it. At a glance, she immediately recognized it as Zhou Xianzong's handwriting.
After reading, Luo Le'er was furious.
Zhou Xianzong, that jerk, if he didn't like her, fine, but he acted and deceived her, utterly outrageous!
And what was this? Man-obsessed girl?
Jerk! Just wait, I'll make you pay!
In Luo Le'er's mind, she had already imagined a hundred ways to make Zhou Xianzong suffer
