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

Feng Chaonan had been having a rough time lately.


It wasn't that he was in poor health, but rather his situation was dire as factions known and unknown were striking at him to varying degrees.


In the shadows, the thriving trade of Longevity Powder had finally been restricted. The Ministry of Justice issued a decree throughout Northern Zhou: any who trafficked in Longevity Powder would be punished by death, and buyers would face no less than five years of imprisonment.


That rabid dog from the Ministry of Justice, Li Renjie, clamped onto it tightly, tracing the source of the Longevity Powder.


In public, it was even worse. Somehow, it got out that Feng Chaonan and the Si Family were inextricably linked, which drastically reversed the initially improving attitude of Emperor of Northern Zhou, Feng Tianming, towards him, turning deep aversion.


The spies Feng Chaonan had bought in the palace reported that Feng Tianming had more than once harshly cursed his disloyal son.
