Xue Yuan was an overworked office worker who one day died of stress. Instead it wasn't the end. Rather he had been reincarnated as one of the villains in the subpar cultivation novel; "Peerless Sword Apex."

Sure the story had interesting world building but the main cast of characters were badly written. The author was even stupid enough to write a prologue that went nowhere!

For example Xue Yuan's favourite character Liu Yanli, the Martial Emperor of Xinyan City was set up as the heroine only for her to be tragically killed.

That being said transmigration isn't with out its side effects. Now Xue Yuan and Nie Zhen the heir to the Demonic Nightshade Sect are one in the same. Suffice to say his personality has become a little twisted.

The world is a chess board. Various factions and important people have started making their move. After the desolation of her city, Liu Yanli is stuck wandering the countryside with her fishy personal advisor.
