Xi Lanci’s cousin awakened and realized he was living in a power-fantasy novel aimed at male readers.
His cousin was horrified to discover that his older cousin, Xi Lanci, was a flawless, dazzling genius who drove people wild with desire. In this power-fantasy novel, Xi Lanci was a minor villain who picked a fight with the protagonist just to give him some practice, then got killed off as cannon fodder.
Once the protagonist, a poor country boy who had come to the city, arrived in the capital to attend university, his cousin’s older brother began a miserable, unlucky life.
It was as if Xi Lanci had been bewitched. This genius, born into a top family, began targeting the shabby, poverty-stricken country boy, only to be slapped down and humiliated every time.
The country boy took a break and missed most of a semester. The moment he returned to school, he stunned everyone with his performance on an exam, stealing the first-place spot Xi Lanci had held for over a decade and humiliating him.
The boys and girls who had been in love with Xi Lanci began flocking around the protagonist. Worst of all, even Xi Lanci’s fiancée fell for him and would rather die than stay engaged to Xi Lanci.
The Xi family’s business also began to decline. Their clients were constantly poached and they came under attack. Only later did they learn that the poor boy they had looked down on was the one manipulating everything from behind the scenes.
Xi Lanci targeted the protagonist, who retaliated by secretly going after the Xi family and bringing them down. Xi Lanci became a homeless fugitive. The once-celebrated heartthrob was left disabled, forced to hide and scrape by, until he eventually died of depression in a rented room.
Meanwhile, the protagonist, Ye Chen, gradually became the supreme ruler of the capital’s most powerful families. Every family bowed to him and followed his lead. Even foreign leaders didn’t dare criticize him. All the young heirs and heiresses of the great families, along with the children of foreign presidents, competed to get into his bed at a single word from him.
He cultivated martial arts, reaching the realm of the Martial God. He could roam through space with his bare body and walk through the deepest seas. Later, he came across a cultivation opportunity in another world and started the cycle all over again: the poor country boy moved to the city, slapped down the great cultivation families, ascended to the Immortal Realm, and became an immortal sovereign who answered to no one.
His cousin: “…”
What the hell? Did this brainless wish-fulfillment fantasy have no sense of decency or limits?
His cousin flew into a rage and tried to stop his older brother’s tragic fate. Perhaps fate itself was taking over: no matter how much he helped, every attempt failed, and he could only watch his brother get humiliated by the protagonist.
His cousin looked at the cold expression on his older brother’s beautiful face and felt his heart break.
With nowhere else to turn, he remembered that the protagonist had a pure, kind-hearted girl in his harem. He decided to bring her into the story early and have her whisper in the protagonist’s ear, asking him to leave his brother a small business to keep him fed, and not to leave him disabled.
His cousin planned to bring the two of them together ahead of time. The story said that Ye Chen was cold and ruthless, treating his harem like disposable rags and having little interest in sex. But his stamina was so incredible that once he got going, he’d keep at it for days and nights, showing no mercy to the beauties in his harem. They were both terrified of him and in love with him.
His cousin waited downstairs, figuring he’d have to stay there for at least three days.
But the next day, he saw the protagonist coming downstairs.
His cousin was confused. Had the protagonist gone mad from practicing martial arts and become impotent?
Then he was confused again. The person in the protagonist’s arms didn’t seem to be the sweet, innocent girl.
And then he was confused yet again. The person in the protagonist’s arms looked a little like… his older brother?
His cousin: “…”
His legs went weak, and he dropped to his knees with a thud.
Had the protagonist already crippled his older brother by severing the tendons in his hands and feet?
The wealthy young men and women watching nearby were just as stunned.
Weren’t those two enemies? Why were they embracing?
His cousin rushed over in despair, clung to his brother’s leg, and wailed. As he cried, he noticed that the bracelet sold for a hundred million at auction, making waves in the charity world, was on his brother’s wrist.
His cousin was confused again.
Wasn’t this the bracelet the protagonist had bought for his adoptive mother?
*
After the protagonist targeted the Xi family, their business actually started doing better and better. Everyone who had gone after them got dealt with instead.
His cousin looked at the Xi family’s new collection of priceless pills and medicinal herbs, all provided by the protagonist, and fell silent.
The protagonist was famously ruthless, an absolute bastard of a male-lead in a novel for men. He was best known for keeping people under his protection, and every one of the treasures that had appeared at the Xi family’s estate had been carefully accounted for by the protagonist and the beauties in his harem. He never gave anything away for free.
And what a bastard he was: after leaving Earth, he abandoned his entire harem there and let the beauties grow old and die.
His cousin watched Ye Chen coming and going from the Xi family’s estate in silence, listening as he said over the phone, “If I, Ye Chen, want something, I always get it.”
“The Xi family’s fate is in my hands. He can’t refuse me.”
“We’re getting married soon.”
His cousin: “…”
His cousin was dazed, wondering if he was losing his mind.
