Holding Rain

As a successful villainous BOSS, in addition to having ideas and aspirations, one must also keep in mind three points:
First, grow sneakily, don't act rashly (once a villain acts rashly, they basically won't survive past three chapters).
Second, you're not a good person, so be ruthless (becoming more evil will make you three times stronger, while redemption weakens you by seven times).
Third, remember the two points above. The moment you forget them, your end is probably on its way.

The Path of the Martial Arts BOSS

In the following days, people from other major sects arrived one after the other. With about ten days left until the competition for Elder Suan Tian's inheritance began, almost everyone had arrived.


Naturally, such a significant event couldn't exclude the local landlords of Hong Province—the Lian Family.


The Lian Family was also the leading family in Hong Province, once one of the nine great families and now one of the eight great families.


Speaking of the Lian Family, this family was rather unique. Male members took the surname Lian, while female members took the surname Lian. Only the leading male and female of each generation were entitled to compete for the position of patriarch.


Once the patriarch was decided, the surname of the patriarch would become the family's outward-facing surname. This generation was led by a female, so the household affairs were dominated by women.
