[[[ MATURE CONTENT ]]]Dual Cultivation, NTRing Cultivators, Fucking Son of Heaven's Mother, Fiancee', Currupting Heroines and More...!What Happens When the Final Boss Gets Tired of Winning the Same Fight Forever?Of course, the Ultimate Villain becomes the Son of Heaven... and a DOCTOR!Meet Arjun: A 25-year-old medical student who thought his biggest problem was having parents who couldn't decide if he should save humans or animals.One truck accident later, he wakes up as Cang Wuhen — the son of the most feared villain in a cultivation world.But here's the kicker: This isn't just any villain origin story.The Heavenly Demon has been trapped in an endless time loop, fighting the same “destined hero,” Lin Feng, over and over again.Every battle ends the same way — the hero loses, dies with his girl (actually seven girls), and the cycle resets.Fed up with this nonsense joke, the Heavenly Demon pulled the ultimate reverse psychology move: He lived 25 years as a normal human to develop actual emotions, then transferred back into his son's body armed with modern medical knowledge and a completely different mindset.The plan? Live this life differently than a Heaven's puppet villain, help people, and rescue damsels in distress too and hire them as Nurses.The instant target? Wife number one, Yue Lianhua (a fox-eared beauty seeking revenge), is convinced that this mysterious young master who can perform surgery and knows about “cars” might actually BE her supposedly dead husband reincarnated. (The fox bit the hook, and now the Villain becomes the Son of Heaven.)The question isn't whether he can steal the hero's wives...It's whether he can rewrite fate itself before the loop resets again.Because when you've got medical school debt, daddy issues, and the power to corrupt heroines, sometimes the best way to win is to change the entire game.Genre: Cultivation Fantasy, System, Harem, Reincarnation.
