What Do I Do After Becoming the Protagonist’s Archrival?

Lin Shenggu, the undisputed king of abandoning stories, has left readers furious once again! Ignoring the comment section's flood of warnings to send him razor blades, he coolly announces, “The author won three million in the lottery. This story is dropped.” Just as he's about to dream of getting rich with his winnings, the readers' overwhelming resentment strikes him down and sends him into the book he wrote.

He opens his eyes in a daze. He's become Su Yuqing, the scum villain from his own story who tormented the male lead so badly that the whole internet was furious, and who died the most horrific death of all. He gets skinned alive and cut in half, a death he'd made up years ago just for thrills. Now even thinking about it makes his teeth ache. This isn't transmigrating into a book, it's marching straight to the execution grounds!

Lin Shenggu drops to his knees and bursts into tears: “I was young and foolish when I did all that. Now I just want to survive! I can't mess with the male lead, so I'll just avoid him, right?”

But the plot goes completely off the rails. A cannon-fodder villain who was supposed to be killed off after eighty chapters somehow steals every female lead's storyline!

“Don't hold a knife to my neck to force the male lead to give in! I'm a villain, not a tool! Are you blind? Villains have their pride too!”

Lin Shenggu stares at the plot in chaos and begins to doubt himself: “They must have given me the wrong script...”

Reader's Guide

1. Characters: a cold on the outside, unhinged and snarky top × a bottom who was timid and insecure before being reborn, then became sinister and domineering, and ultimately turned into an extremely clingy, loyal puppy

2. Tone: satisfying and cathartic all the way through, with no angst. The top is a walking heartthrob, there are very few potential landmines, and the melodrama is just the right amount.

3. Highlights: villain's self-rescue + plot going off the rails + mutual push and pull. Lighthearted, funny, and easy to read.

4. Save this, lovely readers! Follow the updates so you don't lose your wayヾ(≧∪≦*)ノ
