[Four completed older books, author has a solid track record, read with confidence!] Wanxing Russell finally recalled his past-life memories on the eve of his eighteenth birthday, only to discover that he had been reborn in a Galgame world known for its "hundreds of war-story tropes": The Holy Hero's Revenge. He was the duke's son, the kind of character who "supplies the hero's gear early on, then becomes a stepping stone later," with a standard villain plot: try to force himself on the heroine, then get crushed by the hero's revenge!
"Wait, does that mean I just have to stay away from the heroine?"
Easy! He'd rather starve to death or jump off the top floor of his mansion than go near the heroine! As long as nothing went wrong, he could live out a second life of luxury, with the perfect maid, Loaier, at his side!
So Wanxing Russell really didn't want to steal the heroine away! But...
"Damn, why do they have a world-class charm effect?! Loaier! Save me!"
"Damn, why does their affection go up even when they're being coerced?! Loaier! Save me!"
"Damn, why are they coercing me now... Don't come any closer... Loaier! Help!!"
"I get it!" Wanxing murmured, utterly exhausted, his face pale. "You all think I'm not dying fast enough!"
