I’m Calling Off This Engagement. I’ll Be the Villain Instead

After transmigrating as the heir to one of Modu's top families, Gu Yunxiao opens his eyes at his own engagement banquet. His fiancée, Liu Ruyan? She's upstairs in a hotel room with some pretty boy. The original owner spent three years groveling at her feet, pouring money and resources into the Liu family until it became a second-rate clan, only to end up with a green hat. Gu Yunxiao retaliates by reporting them for soliciting sex. Reporters and police arrive, and the adulterers are caught on a livestream. The engagement is called off, funding is withdrawn, and Old Master Liu dies of rage on the spot. Liu Ruyan still doesn't repent. She runs away with her pretty boy? Fine. I'll take back the villa and freeze your accounts. Let's see how you two lovebirds like having nothing. All of Modu thinks the young master is still the same lovesick simp, until they see the female bodyguard at the peak of the Dark Force stage standing beside Gu Yunxiao, and hear that the Liu family was wiped out overnight. This novel is also known as How a Villain Is Made, The Simp Awakens and Goes on a Rampage, and Crushing the Child of Fortune.
