Shen Yan went on a furious rant in a novel's comment section, blasting the villain for being stupid as a pig and saying he deserved to be brutally crushed by the protagonist. To his surprise, he triggered a mysterious power and became bound to a Villain Comeback System. He then transmigrated into different fictional worlds, becoming the wicked villain in each story. According to the original plots, he was destined to be trampled underfoot by the protagonists and meet a miserable end.
But Shen Yan refused to accept his fate. He broke through the constraints of the plot, using his sharp tongue and ruthless methods to take on the protagonists' plot armor head-on. He built up popular young actors in the entertainment industry only to destroy them, crushed prodigies in the cultivation world, and made the most of his powers in the apocalypse. Every time he defeated a protagonist, he earned Villain Points, which he could exchange for heaven-defying skills and divine artifacts.
When the protagonists were horrified to discover that the villain they were supposed to grind into the dirt kept laughing as he tore up the script and climbed to the top on the backs of their so-called "destined paths," the entire world of books finally realized that the true villain had long since turned the protagonists' supposed plot armor into stepping stones on his path to power.
