Chapter 6: The Original Owner's Doom

Lu Chunhe closed his eyes, diving deep into the fragmented memories of the original owner.

He wanted to know why this body's previous owner had been doomed.

And the more he searched, the more ridiculous it became.

And soon enough, he found the answer.

"...What an idiot," Lu Chunhe muttered, rubbing his temples.

There were three fatal reasons that sealed his fate.

First Reason:

The previous owner was nothing but a servant who took the identity of a big shot, yet he acted like a young master.

And why?

Because he had money.

"Money can solve everything."

That was his belief.

He borrowed pride from wealth that wasn't truly his.

He offended people left and right, thinking money could solve everything.

He bullied weaker disciples without hesitation.

He looked down on weaker disciples and spoke arrogantly to stronger ones.

He spoke rudely to stronger ones, thinking bribes would protect him.

He looked down on everyone, forgetting that power mattered more than wealth in a cultivation world.

Among those he offended, one was particularly dangerous—a shady, cunning disciple with deep connections in the sect.

Xue Lin.

A seemingly harmless disciple, but dangerous beyond words.

This disciple was known for three things:

Holding grudges like a vengeful spirit.Having powerful connections in the sect.Getting rid of enemies without lifting a finger—manipulating people from the shadows.

And the previous owner?

He had publicly humiliated Xue Lin in front of a crowd.

It wasn't just one insult.

It was many.

Again and again.

It was only a matter of time before Xue Lin made his move.

Second Reason:

The original owner was an idiot.

If the first offense was reckless, then the second was suicidal.

Among the female disciples, there was one he should never have offended.

Not just any woman.

Qin Yue.

She was from a prestigious family—honor was everything.

Her master was a once-in-a-lifetime beauty, with immense power.

She was:

Beautiful—One of the most stunning women in the sect.Wealthy—From a family of elite cultivators.Famous—Praised as a genius in alchemy and combat.Well-protected—Her master was a legendary beauty, both feared and respected.

Yet, the original owner—fueled by arrogance—tried to harass her.

He thought his wealth and bribes could shield him from consequences.

Instead, it backfired spectacularly.

And the result?

Rumors spread like wildfire.

He became infamous overnight.

People mocked him and hated him.

More and more people wanted him dead.

He made even more enemies.

"How dare he think someone like Qin Yue would even glance at him?"

And worst of all?

His enemies now had the perfect excuse to kill him.

It didn't take long before powerful figures started watching him.

Third Reason:

And finally—the root of all problems.

The final nail in the coffin was simple.

Envy.

The original owner had money, and he wasn't afraid to show it.

Too much money.

He broke sect rules all the time.

He paid fines like they were loose change.

He bribed elders to turn a blind eye to his actions.

He bought expensive treasures openly, showing off in front of others, rubbing it in everyone's faces.

At first, people admired him.

But soon?

They hated him.

Envy is like sinking mud—the more you step in it, the harder it is to escape.

The sect elders finally took notice.

They did a background check.

And what they found was shocking.

His family had been wiped out.

No living relatives remained.

No powerful backers would come to save him.

The decision was made.

The conclusion was clear—he was an empty can making noise.

And so, the elders devised a plan.

"This fool is causing too many problems. Let's get rid of him."

They set him up.

The plan?

A disciple challenged him to a duel under the pretext of justice.

The fight was one-sided, and he was killed on the spot.

His wealth was divided among the sect's higher-ups.

And the moment he died, Lu Chunhe arrived in this body.

Lu Chunhe opened his eyes, taking a deep breath.

"...Great. Just great."

"...What a fool."

The previous owner had everything, yet he destroyed himself through arrogance.

But now?

They thought they had taken everything.

But what they didn't know?

He still had something left.

He had to tread carefully.

For now, he was still a nameless nobody.

But one day...
