Villains Don't Want to Be Stepping Stones

Reborn as a villain in a cultivation world, our protagonist faces an existential crisis: everyone treats him like a disposable stepping stone for their rise to glory! The heroes want to crush him for experience points, the heroines need him as a redemption arc prop, and even random side characters see him as their ticket to fame. But this villain has had enough of being trampled—it's time to flip the script and survive in a world that's written his doom into destiny itself.
