Fantasy World: I Have No Choice but to Become the Villain

[Not invincible, not a power fantasy, slow-burn growth, no absolute good or evil]

This is the story of someone who transmigrated.

Human nature is evil.

Li Gu stands beneath the shadow of the Li clan. The way before him seems bright, yet he cannot move.

He looks at the shackles around his feet and the burden on his back, then falls silent for a long while.

Suddenly, he laughs. “The very things I hate are the things I need. How tragic!”

(Becoming a villain is a process. There is no true protagonist or antagonist in the conventional sense; Li Gu simply acts like one.)
