virtues of the villainess

Introduction One: When Jiang Shouzhong finally resolved to help his wife vanquish demons and uphold the righteous path of the human world, he saw nothing but piles of white bones. Standing atop the battlefield of Asuras, the demoness was none other than his former wife. —— Introduction Two: Above the temple halls, beneath the rivers and lakes, where the world of humans and demons divide, along the righteous and evil paths, countless charismatic individuals weave lives full of fireworks, unable to exhaust the tales of snow, moon, wind, and flowers. Kings and generals, peddlers and pawnbrokers, scholars and swordsmen, fiends and phantoms, they are all but pages in a book—each of varying thickness, some with twists and turns, others dull and ordinary, filled with ups and downs, joy and sorrow, or a mix of good and evil, with causes and effects unending. And the book of Jiang Shouzhong's life is undoubtedly the most captivating of all. ——

She died as a cannon fodder—now, reborn at the start, she’s rewriting her destiny. Jian Dan was always meant to be a stepping stone for the heroine, Yan Ran—betrayed, used, and discarded. But death gave her a second chance. Armed with memories of her past life, she reclaims her family’s lost heirlooms: a white magnolia hairpin and a jade ring, artifacts far more powerful than she ever knew. In her first life, she only took the hairpin. Now, with both pieces of the set, she unlocks the true legacy of the Jian family—a heritage only a woman of chaotic spiritual roots can claim. As she ascends from the mortal world to the Cultivation Realms, she uncovers dark truths: Yan Ran is more than she seems, their fates are intertwined, and a greater threat looms—the Zerg, a scourge that could devour all realms. Revenge was her first goal. Survival is her next. But saving the world? That’s the ultimate challenge. [Note]: This novel should be NoCP, but there's BL couple in it.

*Character illustrations in the auxiliary chapter.* Born and raised as a nameless shadow guard for his kingdom’s crown prince, his life’s purpose was to be used and discarded at the whims of his liege. And his meaningless life ended when the gaze of a princess lingered on him for too long. The crown prince had him beheaded without a second thought, as if throwing out trash. Transmigrating into the body of a baby girl, the nameless shadow finally had a name, a family, and a place to call her own. Throwing away his past, the shadow guard was now called ‘Emilia’, and walked on a new path to seek fulfillment. It was not meant to be, however, as the girl whom she had loved with all her heart and soul ended up mercilessly plunging a dagger through Emilia's love-struck heart at the highest point in her life. The crowd clamored at the ‘deserved death of the villainess’, and at that moment, the shadow could only wonder… why? Why am I always the one to dedicate myself fully to someone, only to be thrown away like trash in the end? And thus, as her soul floated away while cursing in resentment, ‘Emilia’ vowed to herself that in her next life she shall never be the one to fully dedicate herself. Whatever she likes shall be held in her palm, and shall never escape! The moment the vow was made, a self-proclaimed villainess system proposed to partner with her, to explore and conquer the worlds through their anchors—the heroes and heroines. And by cultivating this energy, she shall one day go back. Back to the world she was born as ‘Emilia’ in, and face the so-called heroine once more. The second time they meet, Emilia won’t be the one drowning in regret! ...

#NoCP "They called her the 'Vicious Female Supporting Character'—so she decided to live up to the title." After her brutal death, Song Wanníng realized she was nothing but a disposable villainess in a twisted fate. Her childhood sweetheart? Now the female lead's devoted lover. Her beloved disciple? The male lead who personally crushed her bones and ashes. And the sect that raised her? Complicit in her family's massacre. Reborn with the knowledge of her past life, the Three Lives Mirror warns her: "To survive, you must whitewash your image and beg for the protagonists' favor." Song Wanníng smiles. Whitewash? Why play the pitiful victim when she can burn the entire script? -The Medicine King Sect’s inheritance is reserved for the female lead? She shatters the guardian spirit and loots every last treasure. -The divine beast rejects her for the male lead? She skins it alive and drains its blood—no blessings for traitors. -The sect sides with her enemies? Then let them all fall from grace, exiled from the cultivation world! They called her insane, ruthless, a demon in human skin—but so what? If kindness earned her only a blade in the back, then she'd embrace the madness instead. But power comes at a price. To defy fate, she willingly embraces demonic cultivation, fusing it with her righteous Dao in a dangerous, delicate balance. The Heavenly Dao favors the protagonists with blatant, unfair luck, but Song Wanníng? She doesn't need luck. She has wrath. And this time, she'll make sure everyone burns with her. === English Original Title:《The Crazy Uncle-Master Went on a Killing Spree, and the Whole Sect Was Burned to Death!》 (Note: Title adapted for tone and readability while preserving the story’s core themes.)
