Shen Yan, who had been unemployed for three months, accidentally activated the "Villain Simulator". In each simulation, he had to enter a story that was destined to end with the villain's failure, see through the tricks and seize the opportunity before the fateful protagonist took action, and bring the acquired abilities back to reality.
But when the jade slips, enemies, and old friends in the simulation appeared one after another in reality, he discovered that all rewards came with a price: with each ability gained, the tracking in reality got closer, and a strange memory called "Xiao Yan" also awakened in his body.
What's even weirder is that three people all claimed to know his past life, but gave three conflicting versions.
In order to protect themselves, Shen Yan and his sister Lin Wan began to investigate the truth. When all the answers force him to become someone, he decides to turn the rules around - since the story must have a villain, he can only define who that villain is.
