I Never Meant to Clear My Name

Bound to a Villain System, Xiao He has no intention of redeeming himself.

To him, being reviled by everyone is no hardship.

But the people of the world insist on reading their own meaning into everything.

Seeing him covered in infamy, they assume he has labored painstakingly and borne humiliation, trading his own wicked reputation for peace throughout the land.

Centuries later, history books sing his praises, honoring him as a hero who sacrificed his good name for righteousness.

Xiao He: ...There’s really no need.

Only Xiao He knows the truth.

There was no self-sacrifice for a noble cause, no patiently biding his time.

He simply weighed the pros and cons. That’s all.
