Chapter 7 : The Villain’s Story Begins
“Ding, the system has detected a heroine in front of the host. Would you like to view the heroine’s script?”
However, Ye Xuan’s question seemed to fall on deaf ears as the system continued to ask its question.
“…”
Hearing the system’s words, Ye Xuan was momentarily stunned. This system’s process was different from the ones he had read about in novels before.
Shouldn’t it first explain its functions and rewards? And what’s with the current situation? Why can’t he feel the cold? Clearly, he was frozen in ice, but it didn’t feel cold at all. It was as if time had stopped in the outside world and Yu Ling’er was also just standing there motionless.
“Ding, the system has detected a heroine in front of the host. Would you like to view the heroine’s script?”
Before Ye Xuan could voice his question, the system repeated its inquiry. “System, you…”
“Ding, the system has detected a heroine in front of the host. Would you like to view the heroine’s script?” The system interrupted Ye Xuan’s inquiry and continued.
“Damn… are you a broken system?” Ye Xuan cursed. It seemed if he didn’t respond to the system, it wouldn’t interact with him. What a lousy system. And they call this divine…
Well, whatever.

“View.”
“Ding, the heroine’s script has been generated. Please, host, create a reasonable villain script based on the heroine’s script and the same timeline. This system can generate visuals based on the villain script written by the host and ensure the heroine sees the content of these visuals.”
As the system spoke, Ye Xuan felt a segment of content appear in his mind.
This was… The content of the trashy novel about the heroine he had read. But unlike the trashy novel he had read, this content was from the heroine’s perspective, much more detailed than the novel. After all, the novel he had read before was a mediocre cultivation story about a heroine, where even making logical sense was a big achievement for the author.
The heroine’s initial encounter with the villain, her curiosity about him, teaching him the basics of cultivation, being abandoned by him in danger, being saved by another elder’s senior disciple…
In summary, the villain deserved a thousand deaths.
But…
“System, you want me to write a plot for the heroine to see, and that’s it? What about the rewards?”
Ye Xuan asked the system.
“Rewards will depend on the heroine’s reaction after viewing the script,” the system replied.
“What the hell… What a trash system—!!!” Ye Xuan was frustrated. He’s supposedly already dead, and now he has to let Yu Ling’er watch some villain script? And wait for her reaction? By the time she finishes watching the script, won’t he be completely dead?
“Don’t worry, host. You’re not dead yet. The technique used by the heroine Yu Ling’er is the Ice Seal Art. As long as she reconsiders before the completion of the spell, the effect can be withdrawn at any time.”
Due to the urgency of the situation, the system can allow the other party to view the entire script instantly.
“Although I don’t know the specific situation, it looks like I can only try this now…” Ye Xuan, feeling helpless, began to write the villain’s script.
What rewards the system would offer was still unknown, so it wasn’t reliable. He had to think of a way himself. And this way, it seemed, had to come from the script he wrote.
As Ye Xuan started writing the script, Yu Ling’er, on the other hand, couldn’t help but show a look of shock. She felt as if everything around her had come to a standstill. “What’s going on?!!” She widened her eyes and looked around. At this moment, her vision was enveloped in darkness, seeing nothing.
“Oh, what a sin… A person who loves you so sincerely should not be treated this way.” Just then, a voice echoed in Yu Ling’er’s mind. It was the voice of a mature and indifferent woman.
“Who’s there?!!” She looked around cautiously, but only saw endless darkness.
“I am the God who controls all destinies, the Beidou Star Lord. Your rebirth is also due to my efforts.”
“What?”
Hearing this, Yu Ling’er’s expression changed drastically. The secret of her rebirth was known only to her. This voice had just mentioned her rebirth;
‘She… Could it really be the Beidou Star Lord?’
“Beidou Star Lord, thank you for allowing me to be reborn, for giving me the chance to change everything.”
“Though it is my doing that you were reborn, you should not thank me but rather another person.” The voice of the Beidou Star Lord replied.
“Thank another person?” Yu Ling’er asked in confusion, “Who?”
The Beidou Star Lord sighed and said: “Well, I didn’t want to interfere in the affairs of the mortal world, but let me show you. The real future of this man whom you have deeply hurt.”
Ignoring Yu Ling’er’s wariness, the voice continued.
The next moment, Yu Ling’er saw a scene appear before her eyes.
“This is…” Looking at the scene in the image, Yu Ling’er’s expression changed. It was the time when Ye Xuan had just been accepted into her father’s sect. At that time, she had not yet been reborn.
“Junior brother, hello, although you are older than me, you joined the sect later than I did, so you have to call me senior sister.” Yu Ling’er, with a naive and lively look, stood in front of Ye Xuan with her hands behind her back, greeting him.
Looking at the beautiful face in front of him, Ye Xuan couldn’t help but feel nervous, his face turning red. He stared at Yu Ling’er for a long time without speaking.
“Pfft… Hehe…” Yu Ling’er waved her hand in front of Ye Xuan, seeing that he had no reaction, then happily turned to her senior brothers and said: “Senior brothers, look, he’s so silly. I talk to him, and he just stares at me.”
“Hahaha…” Senior brother Yu Hao and second senior brother Yu Yu couldn’t help but laugh joyfully.
They understood, of course. Their little junior sister was beautiful, like a fairy. It was very normal for a mortal like their junior brother to be stunned at first sight of such a beautiful fairy.
“…” Watching this scene, Yu Ling’er also couldn’t help but feel sentimental. How innocent and carefree she was back then. So happy, without a care in the world. Everything changed when Ye Xuan entered her father’s sect.
“Junior brother, this is your sect robe.”
After the four disciples got to know each other, the second senior brother went to the storage room of Qingyan Peak and took out a robe, handed it to Ye Xuan, and said: “Try this on and see if it fits. This robe is maintained by the celestial technique of Taihua. It repels dust and water, and even if worn for a lifetime, it will not get dirty.”
“…Thank you, second senior brother.”
Ye Xuan quickly changed into the robe and came out of the room.
“Wow, junior brother, you look so handsome!” Yu Ling’er looked at Ye Xuan, now in his robe, and felt as if she was looking at a completely different person, exceptionally handsome. She unabashedly praised Ye Xuan’s appearance, saying: “Face like jade, standing tall and graceful, just like you.”
“Thank you for the compliment, senior sister.” Ye Xuan’s face blushed slightly. Looking at the lively girl in front of him, he thought to himself, ‘If only I could be looked at like this by her for the rest of my life, how wonderful that would be. If so, I would be willing to die.’
“Wishful thinking!” Watching the scene, Yu Ling’er coldly sneered upon hearing Ye Xuan’s inner thoughts. She then suddenly realized. The Beidou Star Lord was indeed powerful; she could even hear the inner thoughts of the people in the scene.
Yu Ling’er, watching Ye Xuan in the script, didn’t know that the real Ye Xuan was watching her.
Seeing his system go to such lengths to make Yu Ling’er believe in the script he was writing, even involving the name of the Beidou Star Lord, was utterly ridiculous.
However, since it was like this, he could make the script even more intense. First, he needed to clear his identity as the villain. But just doing that wasn’t enough; while clearing his own name, he also had to tarnish the image of the male lead.
Although in the original story, his character was set as a heinous villain, the male lead was bright, upright, and even his love affair with the heroine was never private, always corresponding through letters. But with good writing skills, even a great villain could turn into a pitiable man who gave everything for love and the bright and upright male lead could be portrayed as utterly vile.
After all, he controlled the script and could write it however he liked. Whether the heroine would believe it depended on his scriptwriting skills. Although Ye Xuan didn’t want to be a despicable villain, sometimes, for survival, what harm was there in being cunning?
There was no need to be so principled in life. Did he really have to be killed by the heroine as an evil villain to satisfy the crowd? As long as what he did was right, what harm was there in being a little cunning? Right?
