Villain: How to become a Cultivation Big shot

===ORIGINAL WORK===



Zhu Qing was a young man brimming with talent and potential, but fate seemed determined to thwart him at every turn.



First, he lost his mother to a demonic attack, leaving him devastated and alone.



Then, as if to twist the knife, his father too was taken from him.



Just when he thought life couldn't get any stranger, the duke announced an unexpected marriage proposal: Zhu Qing was to marry the duke's daughter.



Enter Ye Tian, a brash young man with a chip on his shoulder, who scoffed,



"Are you worthy? No way is this happening!"



The confrontation triggered a flood of memories in Zhu Qing's mind—memories of another life on the Blue Planet.



"Why is there always a protagonist making my life difficult?" he thought bitterly.



Determined to avoid further chaos, Zhu Qing decided to keep a low profile and silently eliminate his rival.



"Maybe if I stay in the shadows," he planned, "I can take down this so-called protagonist quietly. System or no system, he must be dealt with."
