After killing his cruel shifu at the Immortal Alliance Conference, Shen Jiu rejects Yue Qingyuan’s attempts to bring him to safety and flees the conference. By chance, while fleeing the cultivation world’s pursuit of Wu Yanzi’s accomplice, he happens to run into a boy who shares his face and surname. This boy, Shen Yuan, is nothing like Shen Jiu— he’s the third young master of a wealthy family, who has lived his life without a single moment of hardship, and spends his days reading novels and daydreaming about traveling the world. Shen Jiu, jealous of his double’s easy life, is surprised and a bit baffled to find that Shen Yuan is discontent with living his life safely inside the walls of his family’s manor, and even a bit jealous of Shen Jiu’s ability to go where he pleases and do what he wishes without worrying about his family’s reputation or concerns. After Shen Jiu is mistaken for the lookalike by members of Shen Yuan’s own household, he proposes an solution: that the two switch places, letting Shen Jiu live Shen Yuan’s comfortable, idle life while the other boy travels the world.

The flames reached upward and danced among the rafters. Mo Xuanyu threw his head back with a final choked cry.

He breathed in the scent of sparks-amidst-snow. He breathed in the scent of blood.

They mingled together in a perfect harmony. He realized that he now understood what it meant for something to be beautiful.

Mo Xuanyu smiled brightly as his spirit was torn from his body and shattered into dust.

...

After being thrown out of Jinlin Tai in disgrace and enduring years of abuse at the hands of his relatives, Mo Xuanyu sacrificed his body and soul to bring the Yiling Laozu back from the dead.

His life had been a series of misfortune after misfortune, and from the moment it began, he was only ever a pawn in the games of others. He was once a quiet, but hopeful and intelligent boy. From the moment he set foot in Jinlin Tai, he didn't have a chance in the world.

This is the story of the utter and complete annihilation of Mo Xuanyu.

So I like to respond to comments on my fics, because they really make my day better, but I don't always have the energy to reply right away... lately I went through a rough patch, but ALSO got so, so very many comments, and so I wasn't able to reply to them. And now I have a few hundred in my inbox, some from months ago.

THE SCUM VILLAIN'S LOSS-PREVENTION OPPORTUNITY

After enduring years of torture at the vengeful hands of his former disciple, Shen Qingqiu, the once-proud lord of Cang Qiong Shan’s second peak, has been reduced to nothing more than a lifeless husk. When at last he succumbs to his injuries, he readily welcomes his death, hoping that, finally, everything would at least be over.

But that wouldn’t be the case. Somehow, moments after his consciousness fades for the last time, he wakes up again.

Now, Shen Qingqiu finds himself over ten years in the past, when Cang Qiong Shan was still the top sect of the cultivation world, Yue Qingyuan was alive and well, and the Demon Emperor Luo Binghe was no more than a fourteen-year-old disciple of Qing Jing Peak.

Shen Qingqiu has one goal— to keep his past life from repeating itself. Make sure that Luo Binghe never gets the chance to turn into the monster he became in Shen Qingqiu’s former life, and that Yue Qingyuan doesn’t end up dead at his hands.

There’s just one problem with that plan: for some reason, Luo Binghe just happens to be impossible to kill.
