Azure Firmament Realm, Nine Dragons Continent. Great Zhou Empire.
In one of the Liu family’s courtyards, a handsome young man sat beneath a large tree, gazing at the clear blue sky, visibly questioning his existence. Liu Bai wore a bitter smile as he muttered, “Why did it turn out like this? I was born into luxury, fed and clothed without lifting a finger, yet I ended up being torn apart by horses?”
He was a transmigrator. Today marked the third day since he transmigrated into this world.
On the first day, he learned that he had become the eldest young master of the Liu family, the top family in the Great Zhou Empire—wealth, power, and status all in his hands. He was thrilled beyond measure. Compared to those who reincarnated as trash, his start wasn’t divine, but it was extremely favorable.
Then on the second day, he awakened his golden cheat—the Life Script.
He could read the script of his own life, though only his own. He immediately checked it.
At age one, born into the Liu family.
At age two, detected with a top-tier cultivation constitution—Heavenly Tyrant Body.
At age three, titled the Liu Clan Divine Son.
At age four, began cultivating and broke through in three days to officially become a warrior.
At age five, surpassed the limits of the physical body and became a Battle Master.
At age six, mastered the Liu clan’s ancestral combat technique—Tyrant Fist.
In the following years, he soared all the way until age sixteen, breaking through to become a Battle Spirit. A Battle Spirit at sixteen, it made him famous throughout the Great Zhou.
But after sixteen, everything began to change.
At sixteen, Liu Bai encountered Luo Qingqing, the Saintess from the Heavenly Sword Sect, and fell head over heels for her. However, she treated him with alternating warmth and coldness. Later, Luo Qingqing met a warrior from a remote small city and fell in love with him. Liu Bai, unable to bear it, sent men to deal with the warrior.
Unexpectedly, the warrior’s strength was far beyond expectations. The people Liu Bai sent were killed one after another. In contrast, the warrior only grew stronger.
Eventually, the man reached the capital and clashed with Liu Bai head-on. In front of a crowd, the once-famous Liu Bai was utterly defeated!
Refusing to give up, Liu Bai used the Liu family’s power to continue targeting the warrior—but failed again and again.
In the process, the Liu family’s power was gradually drained. Eventually, they offended the female emperor of the Great Zhou Empire and were sentenced to execution.
Liu Bai was torn apart by horses in public!
At the time of his execution, only one person begged for mercy on his behalf—his childhood friend, the Great Zhou’s top Female General, who had always loved him with unwavering devotion.
But her pleas were in vain. Instead, she had her military power stripped and was thrown into the Imperial Prison!
After reading his entire Life Script, Liu Bai was completely dumbfounded.
So… he was a Villain?
And not just any Villain, but a brainless one who kept sending underlings to be killed just to fatten up the Son of Destiny, and finally got himself killed in return?
Damn it! How is this even fair?!
“No way. In just a few days, I’ll turn sixteen. That’s when I’ll meet Luo Qingqing—the woman who ruins my entire life! And I destroyed the whole Liu family for a woman who treated me like a backup?! What a dumbass!”
“I must change this ending!”
“And Luo Li… the only one who stood up for me when I was executed… I can’t just watch her fall into misery because of me.” Liu Bai took a deep breath. He wasn’t going to sit around and wait for death.
Thinking of Luo Li only made him realize how much of a fool the original Liu Bai had been. In the original Life Script, Luo Li was his childhood friend, wholeheartedly devoted to him. To be worthy of Liu Bai, she followed her father to the battlefield, risked her life, and achieved extraordinary military feats.
Because of her countless kills and ruthless methods, people called her the Blood Rakshasa.
Yet this merciless female warrior always appeared gentle and sweet in front of Liu Bai.
Even during his execution, she stood up to beg for his life, only to end up having her military command revoked and thrown into the Imperial Prison.
A woman like her, who gave everything for him, and he ignored her… just to chase Luo Qingqing, who never cared for him?
Was he blind?
Liu Bai took a deep breath. “To hell with Luo Qingqing. Luo Li is the best.”
As for the so-called fearsome title of Blood Rakshasa, he didn’t care at all.
Killing enemies on the battlefield—what’s wrong with that? Those rumors were nothing but slander from people afraid of Luo Li’s power.
“Young Master, Miss Luo Li is here to see you.”
At that moment, a maid came to report.
Liu Bai’s eyes lit up, “Where is she?”
“She’s waiting in the main hall.”
Without another word, Liu Bai got up and walked straight to the main hall.
The maid was stunned. She remembered that the young master never used to be so enthusiastic about Miss Luo Li. Why did he seem different today?
Liu Bai arrived at the hall.
There stood a girl in black.
She had a tall, slender figure, her black hair reaching her waist. Her face was exquisitely beautiful, but a faint killing aura lingered between her brows. She looked like a sharp blade that had taken countless lives—chilling to the bone.
Even the Liu family’s servants instinctively backed away.
She was Luo Li.
Previously, the reason Liu Bai kept his distance from her was that she had been tainted with killing aura after fighting alongside her father in battle. Even though she suppressed it around him, he still disliked it.
Now that he thought about it, the original Liu Bai had been a complete fool.
Cold and ruthless to outsiders, soft and sweet only to him—that contrast was irresistible!
[Ding!]
[Villainess detected. Villainess Binding System activated!]
Suddenly, a voice echoed in Liu Bai’s mind.
He froze. What was going on?
There was a system?
“What do you do?” Liu Bai asked in his mind.
[I am the Villainess Binding System. As the name suggests, I bind to Villainesses. As long as the Host treats the Villainess well, all gifts and benefits will be returned to the Host at a random multiplied rate, helping cultivate the Host into the King of Villains!]
“Huh? Why do I have to be a Villain?”
[This is the Host’s fate. You are destined to oppose the Son of Destiny. If you don’t become stronger, you’ll only end up as his stepping stone.]
Liu Bai thought of the Life Script he read and gulped. He had no intention of being torn apart!
If he was destined to be a Villain, then he’d become the greatest one of all!
“Wait, why is Luo Li considered a Villainess?”
[Displaying Villainess Luo Li’s Life Script…]
In an instant, scenes related to Luo Li appeared before Liu Bai’s eyes.
[Luo Li, born into a military family of the Great Zhou Empire. Her father is the Grand General of the Empire. She grew up as Liu Bai’s childhood friend. Because she admired him, she followed her father into war to be worthy of him, thus beginning her life of bloodshed.
Having witnessed too much death and separation, and losing countless comrades, she chose to end battles swiftly with the most decisive means to protect those around her.
She assassinated enemy leaders, kidnapped enemy generals’ families, poisoned enemy camps, slaughtered prisoners—all to strike fear into the enemy and prevent future retaliation. For the sake of victory, and for her comrades, she stopped at nothing.
She became known as the Blood Rakshasa.
Later, after learning that Liu Bai lost to Lin Huo in a duel, she returned to the capital to help Liu Bai rise again, and secretly targeted Lin Huo. However, Lin Huo, protected by the Great Zhou female emperor, countered her every move.
Fearing Luo Li’s influence in the army, the female emperor used Liu Bai’s incident as a pretext to strip Luo Li of her military power and throw her into the Imperial Prison. After Liu Bai’s execution, she forced Luo Li to drink poison, ending her life…]
