[System + multiple heroines + comedy + romantic rivalry + jianghu + lighthearted + reborn]
This is not a story about a villain opposing the protagonist. If that's not your thing, please don't read.
Gu Ran finds himself transmigrated into a novel as its ultimate villain. The System tells him, “After you complete the plot and get killed by the male lead, you can go home.”
So he diligently plays the “villain,” never turning back from the long road of getting slapped in the face.
Along the way, though, he happens to kick-start an industrial revolution and boost productivity, helping more people afford food. Then he notices the heroines looking at him differently.
In the end, he goes to his death, waiting to go home.
But what arrives isn't a door home. Instead, he is reborn as his nineteen-year-old self, along with a despairing message from the System:
[Host! The heroines have joined forces to overthrow the Heavenly Dao. Your plan to go home has been reset. To help you complete your mission as soon as possible, the Affection System is now online. Please stay away from the heroines.]
Gu Ran: “...”
Before his eyes:
The mischievous maid's yandere side is in full bloom. “You won't abandon me again this time!”
The cool, adorable sword prodigy has inexplicably grown close to him. “Have we... met before?”
The flirtatious, playful Saintess of the Demonic Path is always circling around him. “Young Master, your scent is so familiar.”
And the resourceful eldest princess, who holds the imperial court in her hands, gives him a meaningful smile...
And Master, what do you mean, you sealed my System?
Gu Ran clutches the System, wanting nothing more than to slack off.
System: “Host, new mission: survive the romantic rivalry.”
Gu Ran: “...Is it too late to go back and follow the original plot?”
It's been a month, and it's only been ten chapters. No one in the production team dares to rest like you.
