How to Tame the Chosen One [Quick Transmigration]

Pei Yan was a villain chosen by the Heavenly Dao, fated to be the stepping stone that helped the protagonist ascend to greatness in every lifetime. But the System told him that if he could steal even a little of the protagonist’s fortune, he might be able to change his fate. So he entered a cycle of reincarnation and dragged heaven’s favored sons down from their pedestals in an entirely different way. Pei Yan dealt them suffering, and they bestowed their fortune upon him. It was a very profitable arrangement. So if those heaven’s favored sons truly begged for a little of his love, it wasn’t as if he couldn’t indulge them. - [Malicious Fake Young Master from a Powerful Family x Poor Academic Prodigy, the Real Young Master / His Older Brother, the Family Head / A Partner Who’s a Scumbag with a Genuine Heart] Pei Yan transmigrated into the body of the fake young master the Pei family had raised for eighteen years. To replace the protagonist and remain with the Peis, he ingratiated himself with his gentle, aloof workaholic older brother, bullied and controlled the real young master at school, and sold company secrets to the heir of a rival family. His plan was to leave as soon as the truth came out, just to spite those arrogant sons of the Heavenly Dao. But for some reason, even though the truth was staring everyone in the face, his secrets still weren’t exposed. Even on a stormy night with howling winds and driving rain, his fake older brother always came home right on time, keeping watch by his bed and gazing at him with restrained tenderness. “Don’t be afraid. You’ll always be my only younger brother.” The academic prodigy he’d bullied clutched his sleeve. His usually proud and aloof face was full of obsession and despair. “Why are you looking for someone else? Didn’t you say... I only had to be your dog?” His partner, bound to him by mutual interests, gazed deep into his eyes and tested him with a joking tone. “If the Peis don’t want you, I do.” - [Blind, Soft-Rice-Eating Man in an Infinite Game x Dead Big-Shot Ex / Living Big-Shot Current Partner / The Unspeakable Ace of Spades, Captain of the Black Blade] Pei Yan was a villainous cannon-fodder character in the infinite world, utterly incapable of protecting himself and scorned by everyone as a useless parasite who lived off others. He survived by attaching himself to one big shot after another. When one died in a dungeon, he’d seduce a new one and keep living off him without a shred of guilt. According to the plot, after offending this world’s protagonist, the Ace of Spades, Pei Yan was supposed to be punished and trapped in a dungeon forever as an NPC. Pei Yan thought it over and decided the original plot was too conservative. Why change his protector every time when he could go after two at once? After all, triangles are stable. The players in the game lobby sighed over Pei Yan’s mercenary, heartless ways. Then one day, they saw his innocent, youthful face in the Ace of Spades’ livestream and finally understood why the big shots willingly let themselves be entwined and ensnared by that parasitic vine. On screen, the young man wrinkled his nose at the Ace of Spades, who had just barged into his home. As if he’d caught a familiar scent, his bright, captivating eyes curved into a smile, and he threw his arms around this fearsome figure without hesitation. He nuzzled the Ace of Spades affectionately, but called him by someone else’s name. The name of his first lover. The current big shot standing nearby was too late to stop him. His face darkened in an instant, as though someone had forcibly torn open a corner of his darkest secret. The Ace of Spades, who was famous for despising useless people, raised an eyebrow and looked down thoughtfully. Pei Yan’s eyes were bright but empty, reflecting no one at all. Could it be that Pei Yan... couldn’t see people at all? - Future worlds include, but aren’t limited to: [Scumbag Online Romance] [Showbiz Face-Slapping] [Imperial Court in Ancient Times] [Cultivation Furnace] A few tips: 1. The protagonist is the pursuer, and the love interest is split into fragments. Essentially one-on-one, villain x all. 2. The pursuer is a bad cat who manipulates people. The love interest is split into fragments, some good and some bad, but every fragment gets played by the little cat. P.S. There are fragments in every world. 3.
