After I Became the Villain, the Male Lead Set His Sights on Me

Finance whiz Shen Qingxian transmigrates into a modern urban power fantasy as its most notorious villain, doomed to a tragic end.

His survival plan is simple: stay away from the male lead, keep a low profile, and lie low until the story ends.

But the plot starts falling apart as soon as he opens his eyes.

Lu Jue, the male lead who should have crushed him beneath his heel, looks at him with an increasingly intense gaze.

The opportunities that should have gone to the male lead keep falling into Shen Qingxian's hands by sheer coincidence.

Just as Shen Qingxian decides to lie flat and become a harmless wastrel, Lu Jue corners him somewhere deserted, his gentle voice concealing a cold scrutiny:

"Shen Qingxian, who are you really?"

"Why does every time you 'step aside' bring me closer to my goal?"

Only then does Shen Qingxian realize that the original story's protagonist may be reborn, with far more secrets at his disposal.

And the world's malice goes far beyond that. A power above the plot itself is treating them as errors that must be erased.

When the false curtain of the modern city is torn away, it reveals the cold System controlling all living things.

The hunter and his former prey are forced to join hands, dancing together at the edge of the abyss.

"An alliance?" Shen Qingxian raises an eyebrow.

"Or we die together." Lu Jue smiles, offering him a knife and a rose.

This is no tale of transmigrating and surviving. It's the beginning of a god-killing crusade.

And his most dangerous enemy may be his only accomplice.
