The boundless universe was filled with all sorts of wonders.

I, Chen *Ping An, only have one sword, to move mountains, turn the seas upside down, suppress demons, deal with gods, pluck stars, break rivers, destroy cities, and open the heavenly abode!

My name is Chen Ping An, Ping An* of Peace, and I am a swordsman.

The Midland world was full of wonders.

In the center of the world, there was a scholar who had once used a sword to slash out a waterfall of the Milky Way. This was the person he was the most proud of.

At the edge of the East Sea’s cliffs, there was a nameless Daoist who was unwilling to ascend to the peak of a mountain. He only wished for a cool breeze to brush against his face.

In the Western Pure Land, there was an old monk who liked to treat people to chicken soup and tell stories.

In the southern border of the Wilderness, there was a blind painter who controlled golden-armored puppets that were as tall as mountains to move the hundred thousand mountains, creating an embroidered picture.

An impoverished youth who grew up in the north. One day, he saw tens of thousands of Sword Kinesis Immortals above him, like a swarm of locusts crossing the border.

He wanted to see for himself the scholar that the storyteller had mentioned, the surging tides of the East Sea, the vast swamps of sand in the west, and the majestic mountains of the Southern Wasteland.

Thus, one day, the youth picked up the wooden sword and began to descend south.

The consequence of staying up late reading novels is that one day, after pulling an all-nighter, you close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character.

Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress.

As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead.

In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand.

Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead!

In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: “Big brother, I hope I didn’t scare you?”

In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: “Brother Long, please don’t hit me, okay?”

Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: “Aotian, it’s time to pay the ‘public grain’ tonight.”

Long Aotian’s legs go weak, and he feels like crying: “I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!”

[The male protagonist is reborn, and the female protagonist travels through time]

Before his death, Emperor Tianhe recalled his life, from a humble man to the founding emperor. His great achievements were praised by the world.

In a trance, he looked at the virtuous queen, the beautiful concubines and the children kneeling on the ground crying, and sighed in his heart that this life was perfect.

But after his death, his soul was not taken away by the underworld, but stayed in the palace.

He saw himself being buried in a grand manner, saw the new emperor ascend the throne, and also saw... his queen.

He saw his queen in the bedroom saying to the new emperor: "Jin'er, I only hope that you will scatter my ashes into the sea after a hundred years. I have never been free in my life, and I only hope that my life will be perfect after death."

The new emperor looked difficult: "Mother, don't you want to be buried with your father?"

The queen smiled: "No."...
