The Villainous Male Supporting Character and the Overbearing Male Lead

“I resent the bright moon hanging high in the sky yet it alone refuses to shine upon me.”

Yin Xuanlin had long harbored a secret crush on his junior brother, Xie Chen, the so called dragon among men of their sect but his love was never returned.

And so he quietly went a little mad.

He began to creep through life in a gloomy, twisted way. Day after day he envied his junior brother’s talent, resented the sect for showing favoritism and wore a permanently dark expression. Like a thoroughly wicked villain, he tripped people up wherever he could, scheming and sabotaging in every corner.

In the end, he pushed things too far.

Accused of “plotting harm against his junior brother,” he was expelled from the sect.

Yet Yin Xuanlin had always been someone blessed with luck.

Very soon afterward, the wealthy and powerful Golden Toad Sect recognized him and brought him back into their fold. He turned out to be the sect leader’s true young master, the genuine heir. From then on, he became a second generation powerhouse within the sect, someone no one dared to provoke.

Meanwhile, Xie Chen’s fate was the complete opposite.

When it was discovered that he carried the bloodline of the demon race, he was hunted down and nearly slaughtered. Gravely wounded, he collapsed at the gates of Yin Xuanlin’s residence.

Yin Xuanlin: Hahaha! So this is what you’ve come to? Back then you looked down on me, now look at you, abandoned by everyone and fallen straight into my hands! I’m going to humiliate you properly. I’ll do whatever I please. I’ll twist things to my liking. I’ll crawl through the darkness and force the upright hero to bend to my will…

Several months later, however, the supposedly “humiliated” Xie Chen looked at him with a gentle expression.

“In truth, I always liked you too, Senior Brother.”

“But back then… it felt like you didn’t like me very much.”

Yin Xuanlin: ?????

Yin Xuanlin: ????????
