School Belle Female Lead

The sudden commotion caught Wang Haoran off guard.

This was the first time he'd received such information since acquiring the Super Villain System.

And a new panel had appeared in his mind.

He opened it.

Host: Wang Haoran

Combat Power: 89

Charm: 198

(The above two stats are based on an average adult male value of 100.) Villain Halo: 99

Villain Points: 100

Skills: None

This panel clearly displayed Wang Haoran's various stats.

Wang Haoran came from a well-off family, always chauffeured to and from school, with virtually no exercise—so his Combat Power being below average was only natural.

As for Charm, it was nearly double the average.

That went without saying.

Good-looking, good grades, good family background.

At school, he was the universally acknowledged School Hunk, with countless girls secretly crushing on him.

"System, what does Villain Halo mean? Is 99 high or low?" Wang Haoran communicated with the system through thought.

Reply to host: Villain Halo is unique to you, much like the Protagonist Halo that protagonists possess. The Protagonist Halo never falls below 300. Your 99 points are on the low side, which might lead to a quicker demise.

"Damn!" Wang Haoran cursed under his breath, then asked, "So is there a way to increase Villain Halo points?"

Host can increase Villain Halo points by successfully suppressing the protagonist, seizing the protagonist's opportunities, winning over the Female Lead, and other such actions.

Winning over the Female Lead?

Now that's my kind of thing! Wang Haoran perked up and pressed further, "So if my Villain Halo points match or exceed the protagonist's, does that mean I won't face death?"

Host, your understanding isn't entirely correct. When your points equal the protagonist's, you'll become the Greatest Villain Boss and can survive until the final chapter before dying. Only when your points surpass the protagonist's will you avoid death—but even then, it's merely not dying.

"So I'll still end up in a miserable state, just not dead." Wang Haoran frowned, then steeled himself and asked, "Can I kill the protagonist?"

Congratulations, host, you've finally developed a villain's mindset. The more your points exceed the protagonist's, the greater your chance of killing him.

"Looks like I'm destined to be at odds with the protagonist." Wang Haoran had fully accepted this.

"So what are Villain Points for?"

Villain Points can be used to draw lottery prizes and exchange items in the Super Villain Shop, helping the host oppose the protagonist. They can also be used to query stats and information on the protagonist, Female Lead, and key supporting characters.

"Shop? Where's the shop? Open it for me." Wang Haoran urged.

The Super Villain Shop is currently locked. It will automatically unlock when the host's Villain Points reach 500.

"Then how do I earn Villain Points?"

Changing the original storyline, successfully suppressing the protagonist, and any other actions that benefit you may earn Villain Points.

Once the system finished answering, Wang Haoran had a general grasp of things and began mulling over a plan to deal with the protagonist.

"Call those two guys and have them come to school." Wang Haoran ordered Fan Jian.

"Huh?" Fan Jian's face was full of surprise.

"Don't 'huh' me, just do it and don't ask questions." Wang Haoran cut him off before the lackey could spout a bunch of nonsense.

"Yes, yes." Fan Jian pulled out his phone and immediately complied.

After hanging up, Fan Jian reported that Fan Tong and Qin Shousheng were already on their way to school.

Wang Haoran nodded.

The two walked across the campus path toward the classroom.

"Hey, isn't that Sister-in-law? Morning!"

Fan Jian shouted toward someone not far away.

Wang Haoran followed his gaze and spotted a girl.

She was tall and slender, with a head of glossy black hair.

Her skin was snow-white, and her delicate oval face featured nearly perfectly proportioned features.

Even in an ordinary School Uniform, she couldn't hide her youthful, radiant charm.

A girl like that would stand out even in a crowd.

Her name was Xu Muyan.

She was the class representative in Wang Haoran's class, and also the universally acknowledged school belle of the entire academy.

Of course, she was also the female lead—or, to be more precise, one of the female leads.

Because going by the typical nature of urban novels, how could the protagonist only be paired with a single school belle female lead?

Xu Muyan was good at her studies and beautiful to boot. She and Wang Haoran seemed like a match made in heaven.

There wasn't a single boy in the entire school who could match Wang Haoran's excellence.

If this were reality, how could Xu Muyan not like him?

But the silly author who wrote this novel forcibly set it in the plot so that Xu Muyan felt nothing for Wang Haoran—in fact, she even harbored some disgust toward him.

However, Wang Haoran was utterly devoted to Xu Muyan, acting like a complete simp.

Why say that? Because with Wang Haoran's outstanding conditions, he could easily charm plenty of pretty girls.

Yet Wang Haoran only had eyes for Xu Muyan, dismissing all other women with contempt.

As the novel's plot progressed to the later stages, Xu Muyan, having completely fallen for the protagonist, became utterly obedient to him.

So, egged on by the protagonist, Xu Muyan even used Wang Haoran's love to help the protagonist get him killed.

And when Wang Haoran was dying, because he loved Xu Muyan so deeply, he didn't even blame her!

The original Wang Haoran was truly pathetic.

"To hell with that silly author. I don't want such a tragic ending happening to me!" Wang Haoran cursed inwardly, then began to organize his thoughts.

Right now, it was still the early stages of the plot. Xu Muyan only treated the protagonist as an ordinary classmate.

As for him, she only felt a slight aversion and resistance.

Sure enough.

When Xu Muyan heard Fan Jian shouting and calling her "Sister-in-law," she was both annoyed and embarrassed, her fair face flushing red.

Some passing students nearby, hearing the commotion, curiously turned their gazes over.

A few small groups of students whispered among themselves, though it was unclear what they were gossiping about.

Xu Muyan knew that Wang Haoran's lackeys often called her "Sister-in-law" in class.

It annoyed her to no end.

And now, here on campus, they were shouting it right in her face like this.

The people in her class knew she and Wang Haoran weren't in that kind of relationship, so the "Sister-in-law" title was just a joke.

But students from other classes had no idea.

She had no clue what others might be saying behind her back.

"Fan Jian, you... don't talk nonsense. Wang Haoran and I have nothing going on. Don't call me 'Sister-in-law' or anything." Xu Muyan's face reddened as she tried to correct the title.

"Isn't it just a matter of time? Anyway, you're definitely going to be my boss's girl. Why not just give in to our boss already?" Fan Jian said with a cheeky grin.

"What do you mean, 'your boss's girl'? Don't spout nonsense. From now on, don't call me 'Sister-in-law.'" Xu Muyan stomped her foot.

"Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law, Sister-in-law."

Xu Muyan told him not to call her that, but Fan Jian insisted on doing it anyway, and the more he shouted, the more worked up he got, his voice growing louder and drawing even more onlookers.

It made Xu Muyan so angry that even her ears turned red.

"Shut your mouth."

Wang Haoran cut him off.

Fan Jian immediately stopped his yapping.

Then, Wang Haoran stepped closer to Xu Muyan, stopping about a meter in front of her.

What was he going to do? Was he going to hug me in public? Or worse, try to kiss me?

Xu Muyan had a bad feeling and instinctively stepped back, wanting to flee the scene.

But Fan Jian blocked her path.

Still, Xu Muyan had already made up her mind to resist with all her might.
