I Was Lounging Around, Then Sat Bolt Upright: The Villain Is Actually Me

Male-male romance | narcissistic pairing | reborn | self-redemption | younger love interest | one-on-one

A black-hearted, obsessive, unhinged younger man × an older man who seems like a lazy pushover but is actually a mad dog

Every time he was reborn, he tried to save everything, only to be targeted by a madman again and again. After suffering through three lifetimes of torment, Yan Chenguang was reborn once more with some of his memories missing. Calm and composed, he decided he would never trust anyone again. He would become a cold, heartless lunatic who sent everyone flying, then wait for a fine day to perish alongside the world.

But when he opened his eyes in this life, the script had inexplicably changed. A younger version of himself and several companions as sweet and innocent as white lotuses had appeared by his side. Faced with their naive faces and enthusiastic invitations, Yan Chenguang, who just wanted to lie around, thought: Don’t try to save anything. It’s pointless… Wait, you’re going to wipe out that entire clan? Even the earthworms, cut lengthwise? Isn’t that a little rash?

Something seemed off. Where were the kind, innocent white lotuses he’d been promised? Why were they all villains?

At least his younger self seemed relatively normal. Wait, what do you mean it was all an act? Why are you standing on someone’s head and smiling at him, saying he’ll be dead if he ever abandons you?

Before Yan Chenguang could think it through, his younger self blinked. “I just realized you look a lot like me. Could you be me…?”

Yan Chenguang stepped back warily. “I’m not your dad. You sprang from a crack in a rock. You don’t have a father.”
