Transmigrate into a Book: The Master Starts Clearing His Name

Chen Luo transmigrates into a novel called Nine Heavens Overlord and gets bound to Luo Chen, the cannon-fodder disciple of the great villain.

To return to his own world, Luo Chen resolves to redeem the great villain, Shen Yingtang, and teach him about the good, the true, and the beautiful in the human world.

But it seems the great villain only wants to follow the plot...

.

To reform the villain, Luo Chen resolutely takes a blade for him, hoping to make him feel the warmth of the world.

Shen Yingtang: What makes you think you're worthy of taking a blade for me?

He then deliberately takes a blade for someone else in front of Shen Yingtang, hoping to awaken the great villain's sense of responsibility toward the world.

Shen Yingtang: Did a donkey kick your head?

Luo Chen embraces the great villain, who suffered abuse in the past, and gently tends to his old wounds, showing him that not everyone wants him to vanish into dust as soon as possible.

Shen Yingtang: He knows my secret. He has to die!

.Luo Chen wails in despair. Is the great villain's heart made of stone? After all this, why is he still unmoved?

.

Then one day, Shen Yingtang gazes at him for a long time. His stare is burning and impossible to escape, making Luo Chen's back go cold as he fears the great villain might kill him at any moment.

Just as Luo Chen wonders whether he should run away, Shen Yingtang says earnestly, "Luo Chen, be my partner."

Luo Chen: !!! System, explain this to me right now! Wasn't I supposed to redeem the great villain? How did the whole thing go off-script?

Well, damn. He avoided countless members of the villain's harem, only to fall into the hands of his own villainous master???
