What is a villain?
He is deceit that ignores all rules, betrayal that strikes with merciless killing, wanton slaughter, and arrogance as mad as a demon.
He is jealousy that burns the heart like a wildfire. He is a lawless ruffian who acts with impunity.
He is a secretive, twisted love. He is an obsession that says, if I cannot have it, I will destroy it.
Hateful, pitiful, a stray dog with nowhere to go.
Arrogant, conceited, utterly lawless.
As a top-tier villain actor, Gu Wu's secret to success is simple: go mad all the way, with no way back.
Alluring and unruly: achieved (√)
Sinister and ghostly: achieved (√)
Utterly deranged: achieved (√)
Until the System turned around and slapped him with a [Deep Down, You Had Your Reasons] halo... From then on, the normal plot began to fall apart.
Protagonist A, deeply devoted and unrepentant: "I'm the one who wronged you."
Gu Wu, only halfway through his madness, froze. "Huh? Your... your next line isn't that!"
Protagonist B, eyes brimming with tears: "I've been misunderstanding you all along. Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
Gu Wu, who had been about to destroy the world, broke character. "Tell you what? There was never any misunderstanding!"
Protagonist C pressed his palms together, his gaze compassionate: "I will enter the demonic path and guide you to Buddhahood. Benefactor, turn back..."
Gu Wu, thunderstruck and staring in disbelief: "This is outrageous! The protagonist is stealing the villain's scenes!!"
To get the plot back on track and die by the protagonist's hand as planned, Gu Wu went at it like a mad dog, unleashing one big move after another. In return, everyone looked at him with even greater patience and pity.
"Stop pretending. I know you have your reasons."
"As long as you're willing to let go, the door will always be open to you..."
"Turn back..."
"You're still my good brother..."
"I'll help you..."
[Mission failure warning, mission failure warning!!]
Gu Wu wept: "I have no reason! I have no reason at all!! Why can't I get rid of this halo? I need results! I need my KPI!"
Ah! Please, please, just kill me!
