Xu Fan pulls an all-nighter and dies suddenly, only to transmigrate into the cannon-fodder villain of the urban power fantasy novel The Supreme Mad Doctor! According to the original story, three chapters later the protagonist will crush both his legs, bankrupt his family, and ultimately drive him to jump to his death. Just as despair sets in, the [Villain Self-Rescue System] successfully binds to him.
The first thing he does after being reborn is give up on suppressing the heroine and hand over a key project, all before the protagonist can show up and face-slap him. Everyone thinks the Xu family's young master has gone mad. Only he knows he's rewriting his death script on a knife's edge.
He invests in future tech giants and builds ties with forces on the fringes of the original story, carefully advancing step by step in a city under the protagonist's halo. By the time Ye Chen finally realizes that this "playboy villain" has been quietly making plans, Xu Fan already wields enough power to overturn the plot.
In this life, he'll make everyone understand: even villains can defy fate and change their destiny!
