Yu Qingzhi's lifelong hobby was causing chaos, and he managed to land himself in an interstellar prison. His consciousness was sent into a virtual world as punishment.
System: You will play a villainous male supporting character, a scheming little green-tea type who loves making a fuss. You are forbidden from acting out of character at all times.
Yu Qingzhi: Hey, I know this one.
System: Villains make life difficult for the male lead. Their specialty is putting on a gentle facade before stabbing him in the back.
Yu Qingzhi: I like this role.
System: In this life you are entering, the male lead has been reborn, and the first thing he plans to do is deal with the backstabbers around him.
Yu Qingzhi: ...Don't panic. I think I can still keep my head down and survive.
In an ABO world, he is a frail omega who betrays the protagonist, the very person who once saved his life. (O tops, A bottoms.)
In a school setting, he is a reserved, arrogant top student who drives the school bully male lead to drop out and leave after just three sentences.
In an ancient setting, he is a gentlemanly official serving the Eastern Palace, yet he reports the crown prince for treason to an increasingly suspicious old emperor.
In a wealthy family, he is a pampered young master, sweetly calling the other man "Uncle" as he takes over all of his assets. (Family friends, no blood relation.)
The male leads come charging in for revenge, but who could have guessed that their supposed mortal enmity would change the moment they first laid eyes on Yu Qingzhi?
"He must have had some reason for what he did in his last life."
"I have to understand him."
After falling for Yu Qingzhi's layers upon layers of schemes, the male leads say:
"I'm the one who should apologize."
"I want to love him properly."
Not enemies, but the one in their hearts.
[A sweet-talking, seemingly delicate white lotus with a wicked sense of fun, top x a reborn, hot-tempered, supposedly straight bottom whose eyes are clouded by the top]
* One-on-one romance, happy ending, the bottom is always the same person.
* The protagonist's and villain's actions in their previous lives were generated autonomously by the virtual world, and involved no romance.
* The top had other reasons for ending up in prison. Neither the top nor the bottom is a perfectly good person.
* The settings of the mini-worlds may change before the story begins.
