Yu Zhiling transmigrated into the role of the villainous master in a xianxia novel, bound to a "Merit System."

The male protagonist, Mo Zhu, possessed the bloodline of a snake demon and was oppressed and tormented by his villainous master, leading him to darken his path. After slaying the antagonist, he abandoned cultivation and descended into demonic ways, weakening the world's fate and causing its collapse.

The system informed her: [Your mission is to prevent the male protagonist from falling into darkness. Guide him to cultivate diligently and ascend as soon as possible. Do not let him neglect his training—only then can his protagonist aura strengthen, and the Heavenly Dao will reward you with merit to keep you alive.]

Yu Zhiling: "Got it. So, I just need to raise a righteous overachiever? No problem!"

The revered Immortal Master Yu Zhiling suddenly emerged from seclusion, and her first act was to summon the disciple she had sent to exterminate evil.

At the foot of the high platform, the young man knelt on the ground, his expression indifferent. "If Master wishes to punish me, do so quickly. This disciple still needs to return to exterminate evil."

Yu Zhiling stared at his injuries, stammering, "I-I-I summoned you for another important matter."

Mo Zhu lifted his gaze indifferently, only to see his usually cold and cruel master stand up—and then dump an entire library’s worth of sword manuals before him.

Mo Zhu: "?"

Yu Zhiling said earnestly, "Only by outworking the hardest workers can one rise above all. One manual a day, and in ten years, you’ll reach the Great Perfection of Tribulation Transcendence. Do you have the confidence?"

Mo Zhu: "..."

From then on, Immortal Master Yu Zhiling’s reputation spread once more—this time because, for some unknown reason, she had begun zealously pushing her disciple to cultivate.

While others ate, Mo Zhu practiced swordplay.

While others slept, Mo Zhu practiced swordplay.

While others woke, Mo Zhu was still practicing swordplay.

Meanwhile, Yu Zhiling crouched in the distance, dark circles under her eyes, hugging her knees as tears streamed down her face.

Onlookers marveled, "Though the Immortal Master is strict, she truly cares for her disciple—she’s even crying out of pity."

Only Yu Zhiling could hear the mechanical voice chiming repeatedly:

[The male protagonist has mastered the Sword Sect’s secret technique. Host’s merit +100.]

[The male protagonist has claimed the Sect’s Guardian Sword. Host’s merit +100.]

[The male protagonist has reached the Great Perfection of Divine Transformation. Host’s merit +100.]

Yu Zhiling sobbed, "He’s not just mastering sword techniques—he’s racking up my merit!"

By the time Mo Zhu reached the Tribulation Transcendence stage, Yu Zhiling, now with enough merit to ensure her survival, packed her bags and prepared to vanish into obscurity.

At the foot of the mountain, amidst the shadowy forest, the young man stood with sword in hand, his presence transcendent and pristine.

Mo Zhu lifted his gaze, smiling. "Master, this disciple has reached Tribulation Transcendence. May I claim a reward?"

Then, step by step, he closed the distance between them, his voice gentle as he murmured, "For example… you."

Yu Zhiling’s bag dropped to the ground.

Mo Zhu curved his eyes into crescents, grinning as he asked, "Will you give yourself to me, Master?"

Mo Zhu was the last Teng snake in the world—cold by nature, his bones steeped in hatred, and every day, he dreamed of killing his master.

Later, he decided on a different way to "kill" her.

He dragged her into his cave, his serpentine tail coiling around her inch by inch. Retracting his fangs, he defied hierarchy, pressing fervent, worshipful kisses upon her.

He even carved out his reverse scale and gifted it to her, baring his vulnerable core before her—his life and death now hers to command.
