I Thought I Was the Good Guy, but It Turns Out I’m the Boss

No romance, a touch of misinterpretation, campus superpowers, everyone's favorite, playing dumb while hiding one's strength.

Jiang Huaijin transmigrates into a comic he's read. He often skips around when he reads, but has the plot really changed this much from what he remembers?

Why has the protagonist team, who were supposed to fight side by side, inexplicably fallen apart? After Jiang Huaijin, in a stroke of terrible luck, manages to reunite them, he discovers a series of schemes against the team hidden in his own secret chamber.

Only then does Jiang Huaijin realize he's not some background character in the original story. He's the hidden boss. So what was he doing being so helpful before?

Giving himself more work?

As it turns out, the best decision he ever made was to pretend to be an idiot in front of everyone.

Later, when his betrayal of the protagonist team is exposed, he fakes his death and runs away. Before he “dies,” he even puts on one last pitiful act.

“Brother Nan... you really don't believe me?”

By mistake, he becomes the protagonist team's dearly missed friend who died young. When they meet again, he's wearing a mask, and no one recognizes him.

“You remind me of someone I used to know.” Yu Henian gazes at him, looking somewhat dazed.

“Someone you used to know? Someone who's dead?” Jiang Huaijin smiles. “If they're dead, you should stop thinking about them.”

He stands behind them, betraying them once again.

“I'm off. Don't miss me!” Jiang Huaijin says with a cheeky grin. “And quit glaring at me.”

Unfortunately, they really are the protagonists of this world. They even survive that.

But when Jiang Huaijin really does die, why won't any of them believe it?

“I don't believe it. He's faked his death more than once. That liar can't really be dead, can he?”
