Villain: I Was About to Flee When the Yandere Empress Blocked the Door

Gu Ci transmigrates into a book set in a world of high martial arts and female rule, becoming a wealthy young villain who mercilessly bullies Su Qingyue, the fated heroine.

According to the original story, the day the heroine awakens and reaches the summit will also be the day he is executed by a thousand cuts and his family is wiped out!

To stay alive, Gu Ci binds himself to an Emotion System. He keeps up the act of an arrogant, overbearing villain in public, while secretly doing everything he can to protect the heroine: giving her peerless martial arts manuals, stopping deadly assassins, and even defying fate to cure her younger sister's terminal illness!

His moves are as fierce as a tiger's, and Gu Ci somehow propels Su Qingyue to the throne of the Empress ahead of schedule.

With his death sentence seemingly averted, Gu Ci buys a standing ticket in the dead of night, ready to fake his death and disappear, his good deeds forever concealed.

But just as he is about to board, a hundred thousand Divine Guards seal off the city, and a fleet of helicopters blots out the sky.

Su Qingyue, now at the pinnacle of power, fixes him with bloodshot eyes. Holding a cold, long blade, she corners him against the wall, her sickening smile sending chills down his spine:

"Gu Ci, after secretly protecting me for so long, who do you think you can leave me for?"

"If you dare take even half a step out of here today, I'll make the whole world pay for it with you!"

Staring at the completely corrupted, obsessive Empress before him, Gu Ci is stunned. "System, you never said raising the heroine's affection would drive her insane!"
