Su Lake Manor.
The finest mountain-and-lake estate in Su City, with scenery so beautiful it seemed like a fairyland. Having a fortune worth over a hundred million was merely the lowest bar for getting through its gates.
Now, the sun blazed overhead, its scorching rays beating down. The atmosphere in the Su Household was no more peaceful. The vast living room was oppressively silent. Su Tian, the Su family patriarch in his sixties, showed none of the frailty of old age as he gripped his cane and struck it heavily against the floor.
"Bang!"
The sudden crack seemed to make the entire manor tremble three times.
"Break off the engagement?!"
"You foolish girl! Ruoxue, our Su Household and the Xiao Household arranged your marriage when you were still in the womb. We made a solemn promise, and there's no way we're going back on our word now!"
A furious roar rang through the living room. Every member of the Su family present shuddered. They knew all too well how terrifying Elder Su could be.
This time, he was truly furious. After all, it was Elder Su himself who had arranged the engagement in the first place!
Breaking it off now was practically a slap in his face. There was absolutely no way he would allow it, but Su Ruoxue, under the old man's fierce stare, wasn't afraid.
"Grandpa, I've made up my mind."
Her voice was cold and utterly devoid of emotion. Nothing around her could shake her resolve. At her words, everyone present looked at her with complicated expressions.
Child, you're being foolish!
Do you really think you can decide this in this family? No matter how much you argue, you'll lose!
Just then!
Amid the crowd, a handsome young man with delicate features and an almost bewitching air gazed around in a daze. His heart gave a start, and he stared blankly at his surroundings.
Where was he?! Why were there so many people in front of him? Why did they all look so solemn? Were they about to attend a funeral? But hadn't he just won a lawsuit and sent a beast off to the afterlife?
To celebrate, the whole law firm had gone straight to a fancy restaurant for a feast. But as he thought about it, Su Bai fell silent, because he suddenly remembered...
After a few rounds of drinks, not long after he'd said goodbye to his colleagues, a car came roaring toward him like a mad beast.
"Bang!"
A force of a thousand pounds crushed him to death!
"Why the hell am I so unlucky? Where did that road demon come from?! Damn it!" Su Bai felt a pang of bitterness, but then he sensed that something was off.
Huh?
Then... shouldn't he be in a hospital right now?! This place looked so luxurious that it couldn't possibly be a hospital, and he didn't recognize a single person.
Suddenly!
As Su Bai wondered what was going on, a sharp pain stabbed through his brain. Countless fragmented images burst into his mind: long legs in black stockings, a seductive bunny girl, a cute girl in a sailor-style school uniform, tight yoga clothes...
One beautiful woman after another, each with a different style and a smile as bright as a flower, approached him. The setting kept changing, too.
Campus!
Bars!
KTVs!
Wine, women, and wild nights!
After a brief daze, Su Bai came completely back to himself. Shock and delight surged through him, his blood racing. He'd actually transmigrated and become the young master of the Su Household, one of the four great families in Su City.
Same name and surname!
He spent every day either chasing girls or on his way to chase girls. Every night, he had a beautiful woman at his side, and no two nights were ever the same. He was the very picture of a dissolute rich second-generation heir!
Holy crap! This was incredible!
His eyebrows lifted and his face broke into a delighted smile. Good people really did get rewarded! Su Bai immediately put everything from his previous life behind him. What was there to reminisce about in the life of a wage slave?!
A happy life, here I come!
He'd give the underworld a five-star rating for this reincarnation. The service had been excellent this time. He hoped they'd keep it up next time...
No, wait!
There wasn't going to be a next time. This time, he was going to enjoy life to the fullest. He'd rather die than work as a lawyer again. The job was exhausting, the pay was lousy, and his clients were nothing but trouble.
After a bout of grumbling, Su Bai had more or less accepted the fact that he'd transmigrated. Being a rich second-generation heir wasn't bad at all. He could spend his days eating, drinking, and having fun.
"Su Bai!"
"Your sister is being so willful. As her older brother, what do you think?" Just then, Elder Su noticed Su Bai staring off into space. His voice sank as he asked.
What do I think? I'm thinking about whether to go to Heaven on Earth or Pink Romance later.
"What do you mean, what do I think?" Su Bai replied blankly, still confused. He'd only just transmigrated, so he and the old man clearly weren't on the same wavelength.
"Bang!"
Elder Su Tian was furious. He struck the floor with his Dragon-Head Cane, glaring and bellowing, "Your sister wants to break off the engagement, and you're not stopping her?!"
That little brat! All he did was drink and carouse, wasting money all day long. If he didn't fall in line today, the old man would cut off his allowance completely.
"Break off the engagement?!"
That reminder brought everything back to Su Bai. His younger sister, Su Ruoxue, wanted to end the engagement they'd arranged when she was still in the womb. She didn't want to be used as a pawn in a marriage alliance.
But at the thought, as a ten-year veteran fan of Biquge, Su Bai's heart skipped a beat. The plot of Battle Through the Heavens immediately sprang to mind.
The heroine came to break off the engagement. The male lead declared that in thirty years, the east of the river would be his and the west of the river would be his, too. In less than three years, he made the heroine a laughingstock, and her family's patriarch was dealt a devastating blow as well.
Damn!
A sense of foreboding welled up in him. Su Bai felt a little scared. Sure, he'd transmigrated into a modern-day setting, not a fantasy world, but better safe than sorry!
He'd only just transmigrated. Surely he wasn't that unlucky?
[ Ding! Congratulations, host. You have realized your own fate and successfully activated the Grand Villain System. ]
Damn!
He really had become the villain!
Villains had always met the most miserable ends. Sure, this was a modern society governed by law, but if he crossed the protagonist, the Su family would still lose everything!
Damn it!
He didn't want this system. He wanted nothing to do with being a villain!
And why had he become the villain, anyway? He'd worked hard all his life and done good deeds. Shouldn't he have been given the horse-loving male lead's role in a harem novel instead?!
Complaint!
Protest!
One-star review!
Su Bai was completely against this. After all, protagonists were always ridiculously overpowered. In engagement-breaking novels, they could dominate an entire region in just three years.
As the family that had proposed breaking off the engagement, the Su Household would be left half-dead at best. Who knew? He might end up a beggar on the street, in an even worse state than in his previous life!
But it seemed too late to do anything now. With a trace of despair, Su Bai could only pin his hopes of survival on this so-called Grand Villain System...
At least it was a cheat!
Come on, don't let me down!
[ Ding! This system exists to support villains. It can inspect the attribute panels of any male or female lead, accurately identify protagonists, and increase the villain's survival rate. ]
In an instant, the system gave him its explanation.
Increase the villain's survival rate?
At that, Su Bai immediately gave it the finger in his mind. So he had a system now, and all it did was increase his survival rate?!
His heart sank. Forget it—he'd rather not be a villain!
Run!
Just run!
[ Given that this plane contains multiple Fortune Protagonists, the host only needs to draw their hatred and anger. The degree of anger will be judged based on their hatred, and rewards will be granted accordingly. ]
Perhaps sensing Su Bai's growing resentment, the system hurriedly added more, its cold electronic voice tinged with urgency...
Draw their hatred?
Holy crap!
This system wanted him to go up and pick fights with the Fortune Protagonists himself. He wasn't just a villain—he was a villain who actively went looking to get himself killed!
How much Jiang Xiaobai had you been drinking, system? You're out of your mind! With a minor villain like me, who'd be off the screen after three episodes, I'd be walking right into a death trap!
Rewards?
What kind of rewards?!
Even if it gave him a Never-Failing Golden Spear and a diamond-hard body, he still wouldn't agree. He could have all the money in the world for going up against the protagonist, and still not live long enough to spend it!
[ The rewards can help you rapidly improve your strength. They can also help you treat your depleted body, extend your lifespan... ]
