Wen Zhao accidentally transmigrates into the antagonist demon lord Wen Fengming from a xianxia novel he read. In the original story, the demon lord was utterly wicked—after losing control of his cultivation, he betrayed his master, slaughtered immortal sects, crippled his sect leader’s legs, half-destroyed his junior brother’s cultivation, and even personally gouged out the core of the sect’s guardian beast, plunging the immortal realm into chaos. Ultimately, he was annihilated by a united alliance, his ashes scattered to the wind. Wen Zhao: "...I think I can still be saved." Just as he prepares to fight back, he realizes—none of these events have happened yet. He’s transmigrated to the very night his demonic qi runs rampant. His exhausted junior brother clings to his sleeve, tears in his eyes. The proud guardian beast, drained of power from suppressing his demonic energy, shrinks to palm-sized and collapses into his arms. And his longed-for master, having taken a fatal strike meant for others, stands bloodied yet unwavering, reaching out: "*Wretched disciple, come here.*" The cultivation world whispers that Wen Fengming has succumbed to demonic qi. Yet he ascends—not as a tyrant, but as the sect’s beloved. …And gets grounded.
