Chapter 001: I Refuse to Be a Simp Anymore!:
(On the Xuanhuang Continent)
-The Moon Embrace Sect
“Senior Sister, I have a favor to ask!”
A striking young woman in a blue robe pushed open the door, casually seating herself beside a girl in a green dress.
The girl, whom she called “Senior Sister,” was even more stunning—“beautiful beyond compare” would be an understatement.
The young woman in green smiled, as though she already knew why her visitor had come.
“Are you running out of elixirs again?” she asked.
The girl in blue robes nodded with a playful pout.
“My cultivation goals for this month aren’t met yet, and I’m all out of elixirs, so I came to borrow some from you!”
Without a word, the girl in green robes took out a black pouch from her storage ring and tossed it onto the table.
“There are five high-grade Vitality Condensing Elixirs in here. Take them and use them well.”
“Thank you, Senior Sister!”
The girl in blue robes’s eyes sparkled when she heard the pouch contained high-grade elixirs, but just as she reached out to grab it, she pulled her hand back.
“But Senior Sister, I heard you’re working hard to reach the Void Spirit Realm this month. Won’t you need these elixirs yourself?”
“I don’t need them, and those elixirs were a gift from someone else.” The girl in green replied nonchalantly.
“From Song Ye of the Heavenly Mystery Sect ?” The girl in blue robes asked in surprise.
The girl in green robes furrowed her eyebrow slightly. “How did you know?”
“For the past three years, he’s sent a pouch of elixirs every month on the fifth, using that colorful pigeon of his. It’s no secret here in the Moon Embrace Sect.” she replied with a smirk.
“We even gossip about when you two will finally become a daoist couple!”
The girl in green’s face turned serious.
“Don’t let your imagination run wild. Song Ye and I aren’t together. When he first sent me those elixirs, I tried returning them, but his persistence wore me down. I eventually just accepted them—better to make use of them than waste them.”
She continued, more firmly this time, “Besides, there’s no way Su Qingyu and that Song Ye will ever become a cultivation couple!”
“True. You’re the most beautiful fairy in our Moon Embrace Sect—how could you possibly be interested in someone like Song Ye?”
The girl in blue glanced out the window suddenly, “Oh, it’s that pigeon again! Today’s the fifth, so I bet he’s here to bring you more elixirs!”
She walked over and opened the window completely, allowing the brightly feathered pigeon to fly inside and land on the table.
But this time, it was different. The pigeon’s leg wasn’t carrying a black pouch.
“Strange, why does it have nothing on its leg? How absurd—did he actually forget to send you elixirs this time?” the girl in blue robes asked, disappointed. “Senior Sister, you shouldn’t bother with him anymore!”
Su Qingyu looked puzzled. “How could this be?”
For three years, without fail, this pigeon had come on the morning of the fifth, with a pouch of 15 high-grade Vitality Condensing Elixirs.
Could something have happened to Song Ye?
She stared silently out the window, lost in thought.
…
(At the Heavenly Mystery Sect )
-Inside Song Ye’s Room
Song Ye opened his eyes, finding himself lying on a wooden bed, surrounded by antique-style furniture crafted from fine wood.
‘Where am I?’
His mind was a mess with two sets of memories tangled together in his head.
He recalled that he had been studying in the university library, and, feeling drowsy, had decided to take a short nap.
However, when he opened his eyes again, he had somehow ended up here.
After sorting through the two distinct memories, he realized a shocking truth:
He had transmigrated!
This new body shared his name, even his appearance was identical!
Song Ye could hardly believe it—those outrageous transmigration stories were now his reality.
‘My previous self… was a simp?’
He began sifting through the memories of his predecessor.
Apparently, his former self had pursued many sect fairies, humbly offering them his affection, yet never receiving anything in return.
In a more flattering light, he might be seen as a kind, considerate man; in a less flattering light, he was a hopeless simp.
Song Ye resolved not to fall into that role again. He would sever all ties with the past.
Suddenly, a metallic, mechanical voice sounded in his mind:
[Ding! Villain System activated!]
[This system exists to help the host grow into the ultimate villain!]
[“The system consists of two parts: ‘Missions’ and ‘Villain Achievements!’]
[Completing missions will earn mission rewards!]
[Every villainous act you perform can count toward a Villain Achievement and grant an achievement reward, too!]
[For example, actions such as killing, robbery, boastful arrogance, insulting righteous figures, deceiving fairies, or showing cold indifference can all trigger Villain Achievements!]
Currently, Song Ye held the title of a righteous disciple, but now the system wanted him to embrace his new role as a pure villain.
From this moment on, he would completely cut ties with his former self!
…
(Inside the Heavenly Mystery Sect ‘s Main Hall)
The four elders of the sect had gathered, awaiting the arrival of the Sect Master, Xie Liuzhen.
Today, Xie Liuzhen was finally emerging from seclusion.
A golden light suddenly appeared above the hall, and from within it stepped a woman in a violet robe.
“Welcome, Sect Master!”
The four elders bowed respectfully.
“Mm,” Xie Liuzhen replied with a slight nod, her expression impassive.
She sniffed the air lightly.
“The scent of Yunyan blossoms? How are there Yunyan blossoms in this season?”
A maid inside the hall stepped forward.
“Reporting to the Sect Master, these Yunyan blossoms were specially cultivated by a disciple, Song Ye, from the ‘Sword’ division. Knowing that you like the fragrance, he arranged seven pots in the hall last night.”
Xie Liuzhen’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. “So, it was him.”
She seemed unsurprised, as if she’d already guessed the culprit.
In the vast Heavenly Mystery Sect , only Song Ye would engage in such meaningless acts to win favor.
But Xie Liuzhen was no ordinary woman, and such blatant attempts to curry favor struck her as deeply disrespectful.
