I'll Save the Brooding Villain, No Matter What [Book Transmigration]

Saving the Brooding Villain Is Up to Me

Wen Tian transmigrates into the domineering CEO novel he was reading before he died, becoming the doomed cannon-fodder character who first drives the villain to darkness.

Good news: The villain hasn't turned evil yet.

Bad news: His hand has just slapped the villain across the face!

A vivid red handprint stood out against Jiang Han's pale, cold face. His pitch-black gaze swept over Wen Tian, chilling him to the bone.

"What are you looking at?" Wen Tian glared back, eyes wide, and demanded fiercely, "You scored three points lower on this exam than the last one. Wh-what happened?!"

Jiang Han: ???

Wen Tian angrily tore open a little cake. "Then I can't give you a gold watch. You'll have to make do with this silver one!"

Jiang Han licked the mark on his lips and said meaningfully, "Thank you, young master?"

.

The original Wen Tian was hopelessly lovesick, madly in love with the male lead, Lu Chen. He trampled on Jiang Han to curry favor with Lu Chen, refusing to let him get better grades than Lu Chen, look better than Lu Chen, or treat the male lead's love interest better than Lu Chen did.

Jiang Han was only the son of the Wen family's housekeeper. His mother was gravely ill, his father was a compulsive gambler, and the young boy's back was bowed beneath the weight of it all. He had no right to fight back.

All he could do was be Wen Tian's dog.

But fate had other plans. Jiang Han turned out to be the real young master of the Lu family, switched at birth with Lu Chen. After being brought back into the Lu family, the first thing Jiang Han did was bankrupt the Wen family. Then he confined Wen Tian, who had bullied him, in a villa and put a leather collar around his neck, as if keeping a little dog.

In the end, the original Wen Tian was driven to a mental breakdown and jumped to his death.

.

After transmigrating into the book, Wen Tian nervously works to raise Jiang Han's favorability and tries every way he can to save the brooding villain.

Since he can't go out of character, Wen Tian racks his brains to exploit loopholes in the System.

For instance, if Jiang Han scores lower than the male lead, he gets 100,000 yuan. If he scores higher, he gets 100,100 yuan and 38 fen. Wen Tian is fair about rewards and punishments, and has no feelings whatsoever.

Whenever the villain gives him a suspicious look, Wen Tian makes him kneel on the floor and polish his shoes.

I'm so... so evil!

Every time this happens, Wen Tian curls his toes, feeling like the most irredeemable person alive.

But he doesn't know that whenever Jiang Han sees him holding his nose high in the air, he thinks Wen Tian looks like a proud, pampered little ragdoll cat: fierce on the outside, but soft and cuddly, ready to topple over at the slightest push.

Finally, one day, when Jiang Han crushes the male lead and takes first place in a competition, Wen Tian's eyes curve with joy. But he still puts on a haughty air and says, "H-how could you beat Lu Chen?"

"Then I'll only give you a villa. You don't get a swimming pool!"

Jiang Han laughed.

He knelt on the floor, clasped Wen Tian's hand, and said, "Young master, I don't want a villa. Could you punish me some other way?"

Wen Tian's eyes widened. "Wh-what do you want?"

Jiang Han licked his palm, his expression lovesick and sorrowful. "Young master, slap me."

Wen Tian: ...You little brat!

I raised you like my precious son. How can you actually want to be a dog!
