The Beauty and the Sword

Chou Bodeng transmigrated, becoming the number one profligate dandy in the novel *Chronicles of the Gods*. This dandy was fair-skinned and beautiful, stunning in his red robes. Relying on his absurdly high seniority in the sect, he raised hell and caused trouble wherever he went. And in the end, he got himself killed. Logically, upon receiving such a script, one should behave, live virtuously, and then ride the protagonist’s coattails for support. However, Chou Bodeng did the math and discovered that from the start of the story to the day he’d get killed off… there were a full eight! hundred! years! —He could live an unbridled, joyful life for eight hundred years, and they wanted him to bow and scrape? No way, no way. He was done playing nice. And so, the Taiyi Immortal Sect discovered that their Young Ancestor had gotten even worse. One day, he was roasting Elder Jun’s phoenix. The next, he was fishing out Elder Ye’s Kunpeng. The day after that… The day after that, he went down the mountain all by himself! The entire sect: “Holy shit! Is our Young Grand-Uncle going to get himself killed on the very first day?” Not only did the Young Grand-Uncle not get killed, but he thrived, making a motley crew of friends from across the Three Realms: The son of the Medicine Valley’s Master, who couldn’t heal a soul; The miserly bastard from the Shanhai Pavilion; The degenerate from the Buddhist Sect who refused to help the poor; The oddball from the Ghost Valley who knew nothing of divination… Later on, even the righteous and upright protagonist was led astray. The Number One Profligate Alliance burst onto the scene. Everyone thought the Three Realms were done for. Until the day the Great Desolation emerged and the Heavenly Dao collapsed. The Medicine King’s son poisoned ten thousand demons, the good-for-nothing from the Beast Taming Sect transformed into an Azure Dragon, the degenerate from the Buddhist Sect unleashed the Nine-Revolution Bodhi… And as for the Alliance’s number one profligate, Chou Bodeng— Clad in red, with a single strike of his sword, he sundered the primordial chaos.
