Chapter 1: The Second-Generation Heir, Su Qing:
Qin Yuan had just transmigrated into a cultivation novel, and found himself becoming the young master of a prominent family.
The good news ended there, as he quickly realized he was now the villain in a novel.
Despite being the eldest son of the family, the original Qin Yuan was infatuated with Su Mengyao, a woman who was responsible, successful, and the heroine of the novel.
Well, the original Qin Yuan did everything he could to win Su Mengyao’s favor, sacrificing everything for just a hint of her affection.
Yet, no matter what he did, he couldn’t win her heart.
When he finally confessed his love, Su Mengyao coldly replied that she wasn’t a gold digger and that sweet words didn’t move her—she only cared for pure love.
However, she later accepted gifts from him and even had an affair with the carefree Lin Yun.
She claimed that accepting gifts didn’t mean she agreed to anything.
In the author’s version, the original Qin Yuan was portrayed as a brainless villain.
Despite being the young master of a powerful imperial family and the Holy Son of the Heavenly Vault Holy Land, blessed with great looks and fortune, he fell for Su Mengyao, who played him like a fool.
Naturally, this led him to cross paths with Lin Yun, the protagonist.
With the luck and aura of a protagonist, Lin Yun was unbeatable.
Every assassin Qin Yuan sent after him failed, turning him into Lin Yun’s stepping stone.
In the end, the Qin family was destroyed by Su Mengyao’s Su family.
As a pathetic admirer, the original Qin Yuan was eventually killed by Lin Yun and Su Mengyao, his body fed to the dogs.
“This plot is so ridiculous! What a brainless author!” Qin Yuan cursed loudly, sitting on his chair.
The author had taken the concept of a mindless novel to the extreme.
At one point, Qin Yuan had enjoyed reading the novel, entertained by its brainless but satisfying plot.
After all, he had identified with the protagonist, Lin Yun, rather than the villain, Qin Yuan. But now, he had become that very villain.
Still, despite the unfortunate circumstances, Qin Yuan had to admit that the original Qin Yuan’s background was impressive.
His father, Qin Xiaotian, was the patriarch of the ancient Qin clan, and his mother, Zhou Ruoyun, was the empress of the Zhou Empire.
His sister, Qin Xiyue, was a goddess of the Phoenix clan.
But the most formidable of them all was his grandfather, Qin Batian, a powerful emperor with unmatched strength in the Three Realms.
“Qin Yuan! Get out here now!” A loud, arrogant voice echoed from outside the palace.
Qin Yuan frowned immediately.
As the Holy Son of the Heavenly Vault Holy Land, he resided in the Holy Son’s Hall, a place representing the face and dignity of the Holy Land. No one was allowed to approach the Holy Son’s Hall without permission, let alone shout outside it.
Violating this rule could lead to severe punishment, including the loss of one’s cultivation and expulsion from the Holy Land.
So, who was bold enough to shout outside the Holy Son’s Hall?
Qin Yuan stepped outside the palace and saw a man standing there with an arrogant expression, as if the world owed him something.
“Su Qing?” Qin Yuan raised an eyebrow.
The man before him was Su Qing, the second-generation heir of the Su family and the younger brother of Su Mengyao, the heroine of the novel.
Seeing Su Qing reminded Qin Yuan of the plot in the original novel.
Su Qing wasn’t a good person—in fact, he was a complete scoundrel.
In the original novel, he had taken a liking to Qin Yuan’s sister, Qin Xiyue, who was as beautiful as a fairy and a goddess of the Phoenix clan.
Su Qing had threatened Qin Yuan to marry his sister off to him, using his connection to Su Mengyao as leverage.
Terrified, the original Qin Yuan had complied, nearly sacrificing his sister if her lover hadn’t appeared at the last moment to save her.
If Qin Yuan remembered correctly, the plot at this point in the novel involved Lin Yun, the protagonist, asking Su Mengyao for an earth-level weapon to prepare for an upcoming sect competition.
The Su family didn’t possess such a valuable treasure, so Su Mengyao came to the original Qin Yuan for help.
But as the ultimate admirer, Qin Yuan couldn’t bear to have Su Mengyao come in person, so Su Qing came on her behalf.
This scenario had occurred more than once in the original novel.
However, the current Qin Yuan’s had disrupted the plot, and the earth-level weapon had not been delivered yet. It was still in his storage ring, which was why Su Qing was now cursing loudly.
“Damn you, Qin Yuan! How dare you keep me waiting so long? Just wait! I’ll tell my sister all about this when I return, and we’ll see how you beg at my feet!” Su Qing clenched his fists, his face full of resentment, as if someone owed him millions.
The shouting outside the Holy Son’s Hall attracted a crowd, and soon, tens of thousands of people had gathered nearby.
Some were eating snacks, others holding beauties—there was a wide variety of onlookers.
“Who is this guy? Does he have a death wish, shouting outside the Holy Son’s Hall?” One person muttered.
The rules of the Holy Land were strict, and no one dared to break them lightly. The new disciples were especially shocked by the scene, as if they had seen a ghost.
“Be careful, junior brother!” someone warned. “You might not know this, but that guy over there is Su Qing, the second-generation heir of the Su family.”
“The Su family? Su Qing?” another man raised an eyebrow. “What kind of trash family is that? I’ve never heard of them.”
“Listen, the Su family may be trash, but you need to know that his sister, Su Mengyao, is ruthless. Our Holy Son, Qin Yuan, is obsessed with her. The way he fawns over her… it’s pathetic.”
The man couldn’t help but think of how Qin Yuan had grovelled for Su Mengyao’s affection.
Even the founder of flattery would have to call him master!
