The big villain was his fave

[A female-oriented novel with two male leads, babes-make sure you're in the right place!]

[Older, fatherly, doting award-winning actor and CEO top VS straightforward, confident, beautiful bottom with MAX combat power]

[Love at first sight for the top; long-planned pursuit for the bottom. The romance moves fast, with no push and pull. Both are very straightforward-if they like someone, they like them.]

[Power couple, both top and bottom are very capable. In my story, I won't let them suffer indignities, and I won't put you through that frustration either.]

[OK, that's it. Enjoy the story, babes!]

It hurt so much.

Lu Xingchen felt as though his entire body had been torn into countless pieces, as if a speeding truck had mercilessly run him over.

Hadn't he already died in a car accident?

What, did the damned heavens hate him so much that they deliberately made him suffer through the pain again?

"Mnh..."

What the fuck was that sound?

It was so hoarse and soft that it gave Lu Xingchen goosebumps all over.

Wait!!!

That goddamn sound seemed to have come from him.

Lu Xingchen frowned impatiently. His eyes were dry and stinging, as though countless fine needles were pricking them.

His body sank deep into the soft bed, but his limbs felt as heavy as if lead weights were pinning them down, making it difficult to move.

The sensation made Lu Xingchen feel that something was very wrong.

He abruptly opened his eyes, but everything was blurry. All he could see were indistinct patches of light and shadow.

He blinked, trying to adjust to the light, then laboriously propped up his sore, weak waist and sat up.

His surroundings were exceptionally dim, as though shrouded in a mysterious veil. Faint light slipped quietly into the room through a gap in the curtains that had not been fully drawn, like a beam of sacred radiance.

An indescribably sensual atmosphere filled the air, like an enticing fragrance that drew people in and left them unable to escape.

Lu Xingchen suddenly spotted a lump in the bed, with a tousled black head at the very top.

Lu Xingchen lifted the covers, revealing two naked bodies, one dark and one fair, in stark contrast.

One had skin as fine as cream and as fair as porcelain, with a slender yet elegant figure.

The other had honey-colored skin like bronze, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, chest muscles jutting like rock, and sharply defined abs that looked carved by a blade. As for what came next, it could only be understood, not put into words.

What had happened was obvious.

"Enjoyed the view enough?" A husky voice suddenly sounded beside his ear.

Before Lu Xingchen could think through what had happened, he aimed at the man before him. His hand whipped through the air, accompanied by a curse through gritted teeth. "You bastard!"

With a smack, the man easily intercepted Lu Xingchen's hand. Looking at the palm mere inches from his handsome face, he gave a soft scoff. "That wasn't what you said last night. You kept calling me..."

"Shut your fucking mouth, you mother-" Lu Xingchen's furious voice cut off abruptly. In the faint light, he finally got a clear look at the man's face.

The man had sharply defined features, cold and resolute, and deep eyes that gleamed as keenly as wintry stars.

His nose was straight and his lips pressed together, conveying an air of resolve and decisiveness, as though he had not been the one teasing him just now.

Most striking, however, was the scar running across his brow and eye area. Like a hideous centipede, it added a measure of coldness and imposing authority to his otherwise handsome face.

Far from diminishing his appeal, the scar made him even more masculine, like a mark of battle bearing witness to the life-and-death trials he had endured.

When he gazed ahead, the sharpness in his eyes made people afraid to meet them, as though they could pierce a person's soul. His face combined masculinity with a weathered quality, leaving a profound impression.

"Huo Chuyun," Lu Xingchen blurted out.

So alike. The man before him looked so much like his fave.

His fave was the main villain in a novel Lu Xingchen had read before he died. The man before him looked exactly like the fan art, which was still his phone wallpaper.

A cheating dad, a lovesick mom, an utterly loathsome mistress and her son, and a broken Huo Chuyun. While reading the novel, Lu Xingchen had cursed Huo Chuyun for being a dumbass even as his heart ached for him.

A flood of memories suddenly surged into his mind, and Lu Xingchen became absolutely certain that he had transmigrated into the novel.

The novel was called "The Happy Life of Everyone's Darling, Lu Jiaojiao." When Lu Xingchen first saw the title, he thought it would be some heartwarming story. After finishing it, he wanted to hug a trash can and puke his guts out.

The novel's male lead was the Lu family's adopted son, Lu Yichen, while the original Lu Xingchen was the Lu family's youngest son, who had gone missing as a child. Missing their youngest son terribly, the Lu couple had adopted Lu Yichen.

The Lu couple poured all their love for Lu Xingchen, along with their guilt toward him, into Lu Yichen.

With the affection of the Lu family's three older brothers on top of that, Lu Yichen was showered with every possible bit of love.

It was as though this novel had lowered everyone's IQ. Everyone sided with Lu Yichen unconditionally.

If Lu Yichen farted, they would sniff it and call it fragrant. Lu Xingchen seriously suspected that even if it were Lu Yichen's shit, they could mix it into their rice and eat it, giving a thumbs-up while praising it as a heavenly delicacy.

The original Lu Xingchen was later found and brought back to the Lu family, getting in Lu Yichen's way, so the author had written Lu Xingchen as someone everyone despised.

His parents did not love him, and his three older brothers did not care for him either. With Lu Yichen sowing discord, Lu Xingchen's standing in the Lu family was lower than a servant's. He was also a nobody in the entertainment industry, the kind the entire internet hated.

The reason Lu Xingchen had been able to transmigrate here was that Lu Yichen had arranged for someone to drug the original owner last night and send him to the room of some fat, big-eared boss with grease all over his mouth.

However, the person administering the drug liked Lu Yichen and disliked the original owner, so he had deliberately mixed rat poison into it. The original owner had died of poisoning on the spot.

Just like that, the original owner had been killed off less than three minutes after appearing in the novel.

Then Lu Xingchen had transmigrated here after dying in a car accident and viciously beaten up the fat boss, who had just been about to touch him.

He had also beaten the man guarding the door to keep him from escaping-the same man who had drugged him-until his face swelled like a pig's. Still furious, Lu Xingchen had grabbed the barely breathing man and treated him to a face wash in a public toilet bowl.

Before Lu Xingchen could leave the restroom, the drug had kicked in, and he had hastily knocked on the nearest room's door.

There, he had met Huo Chuyun.

As one of the few normal people in the book, Huo Chuyun was a nationally beloved award-winning actor and the Huo family's heir, so naturally, Lu Yichen had set his sights on him.

However, Huo Chuyun had rejected Lu Yichen's advances. Later, somehow, Lu Yichen had gotten together with Huo Chuyun's younger half-brother, Huo Junchi.

Huo Chuyun stood in the way of Huo Junchi inheriting the Huo family's assets, so the author had made him suffer terribly. As a child, his own mother had chased him with a knife and slashed at him, all to vent her anger on behalf of the illegitimate son.

The scar running across Huo Chuyun's brow and eye area had been left from that incident.

When Lu Xingchen reached that part of the book, he had let loose an endless stream of curses.

Although the book was absurd, fiction drew from reality. There were always parents who did not love their own children, and Huo Chuyun had also shown him what it meant to "raise yourself all over again, and do a very good job of it."

He liked acting, so he became an actor. Since those scumbags in the Huo family mocked him as a mere performer, Huo Chuyun won awards until he could barely carry them all, becoming the youngest actor in the entertainment industry to complete a grand slam of best actor awards.

From five-year-old children to seventy-year-old women, everyone had seen his performances. He had truly become a household name.
