Wenren Qing, the ultimate villain in Infinite Gods, has power and influence beyond measure and can destroy the world as easily as crushing an ant.
But right now, he's just a part-time worker at a milk tea shop.
Then he discovers that everyone within three meters of him is thinking strange things?
"At this rate in the original, Wenren Qing and Ye Bai will clash in a few more chapters! Sob, my ship is going to get a bad ending!"
"Wenren Qing won't survive to the finale. I'll curse him now, so all the loot he drops will be mine."
"Why bother trying to win him over? Wouldn't it be better to just kill him?"
Wenren Qing: ...Are these people crazy?
Ye Bai is the future Child of Destiny, currently a miserable high school student grinding away toward the college entrance exams.
He can read minds, too, but only when he makes physical contact.
But all he hears is:
"Oh my god, Ye Bai is so handsome! But Wenren Qing is going to torment him horribly in the future..."
"I'll save Ye Bai and make him owe me. Then I can ask him to marry me, right?"
"I've written a story where Ye Bai loses his memory and falls in love with me. I'm looking for a chance to make him hit his head."
Ye Bai: ...??
Ye Bai wordlessly pulls his hand back.
This world is beyond saving.
After tracking down the source of it all, he finally fights his way to Wenren Qing.
The youth hides a blade among his roses, his gaze sharp as he enunciates each word:
"I hear you killed me?"
Wenren Qing stares at him expressionlessly.
"I've got several versions here: 'A Sea of Hate, a Sky of Love,' 'The Substitute Trope,' 'Faking His Death,' 'Marriage First, Love Later,' and 'The Righteous Beacon I Raised Turns on Me.'"
"Which one are you talking about?"
Ye Bai: ...??
After three seconds of silence, he tosses away his knife and offers Wenren Qing a rose. He says, with complete confidence:
"What if I'm here to find my happy ending with you?"
Wenren Qing looks down at him, the corner of his mouth curving almost imperceptibly.
"What a coincidence. No one's written that version yet."
From that day on, the villain and the protagonist join forces.
"You spend all day writing us a substitute, a groveling ex, or a runaway with a baby? Come here and tell us how that version of yours goes."
"You want to steal my golden finger? Here it is. Go ahead and see if you can take it."
"You want to kill me for my loot? Are you sure I won't be the one looting you?"
"Ye Bai had a whole litter of pups for me. Explain in detail how that happened."
