Ming Yuan was an actor who played villains.
But after his character's final scene, he faked his death and left. The male lead and his best friend turned against each other, went dark, and destroyed the world.
To save the world, Ming Yuan could only return with the System to the time before the world fell apart, play the villain from the beginning, and do his best to reform the chosen ones who had gone dark.
System: [I have good news and bad news.]
Ming Yuan: "What's the bad news?"
System: [The male lead has been reborn, and his corruption level is at 100%.]
Ming Yuan: "...Then what's the good news?"
System: [He loves you.]
Ming Yuan: ???
Ming Yuan looked at the other chosen ones, whose corruption levels were just as high, and teared up. "Please don't tell me they've been reborn too."
System: [Not exactly.]
Ming Yuan had just started to relax.
System: [But they dreamed of quite a few scenes from their previous lives, and they all involved you.]
With a red veil over his head, Ming Yuan listened to the chosen ones calling him "sweetheart," "wife," and "darling." He felt utterly wronged. "Is this why the chosen ones want to marry the villain?" Please give the villain a little dignity, will you? He's the villain!
The chosen ones: What's that little mouth of yours going on about? We don't understand. We want to kiss you.

[You can do anything you want to them. Even if you break their legs or pierce their hearts, they'll drag themselves to you on broken legs, bleeding out, and beg you not to leave.]
[They love you beyond saving.]
[Please note]
1. The protagonist is stunningly beautiful and adored by everyone. He's the object of countless one-sided crushes in a brainless wish-fulfillment story.
2. Multiple versions of the male lead, all devoted, feral, wild, abandoned, or lovesick dogs. Several versions appear in each world, with plenty of melodramatic rivalry.
3. The protagonist isn't the traditionally delicate and gentle type. He's a lively little beauty.
4. More details to come.
