After transmigrating into a clichéd web-novel world, Xu Lin obtained a Villain Roleplay System.
As long as he listened to lovesick voice messages while playing the villain and getting crushed by the protagonist, he could become an invincible Immortal Emperor.
And so...
When Xu Lin pretended to look down on the heroine, the System felt both joy and sorrow in his heart:
[I, Xu Lin, have been reborn through countless cycles, and at last I've found you, my beloved... But dark currents are stirring in this world. To avoid being caught up in the dark upheaval, we can only wait until we ascend to immortality before revealing ourselves to each other.]
When Xu Lin pretended to be a villain, backed the heroine into a corner, and cackled menacingly while keeping track of when she would unleash her hidden power, the System wept bitterly in his heart:
[I'm sorry. To help you obtain the immortal's legacy, I can only force you into this situation... I hope you'll forgive me, the villain who planned it all, once you awaken your powers!]
The System's lovesick voice messages were a little annoying, but Xu Lin didn't pay them much mind.
After playing his role several times, Xu Lin was successfully cornered by the male lead.
But...
"Pfft!"
Before the male lead could strike the fatal blow, a scarlet sword tip pierced through his heart.
The heroine kicked aside the male lead's corpse, his eyes still staring lifelessly. Her blood-splattered face flushed as she gazed tenderly at Xu Lin.
"My husband... Now there's no one, no one who can keep us apart..."
