The Villain Thinks He’s the Leader of the Righteous Path

After transmigrating as a farmer's son, Shen Yanting lost his memories of his previous life, but he still believed himself to be a heaven-blessed genius, destined to become a righteous leader who would uphold justice.

His friends and family couldn't understand him, but that didn't matter. The System's arrival proved he was one of a kind.

With the System's help, Shen Yanting came first in all three imperial examinations, rose through the ranks, brought honor to his family, and helped two generations of emperors usher in an age of prosperity.

Maybe he did so many good deeds in his previous life, because this one turned out unexpectedly peaceful.

System: Peaceful, my foot.

The System had bonded with a world-destroying villain. As it turned out, a villain was still a villain in a different world. This time, he wasn't trying to destroy the world, but he was charging full speed toward his own death.

The little villain had boundless energy, incredible destructive power, and endless resentment. Every day, he was either causing trouble or on his way to cause trouble, all in the name of upholding justice.

A passing rich merchant's son got slapped. A glance from a noble's child left them disgraced. A prince or royal grandson got so much as touched and ended up stripped of his claim to the throne.

The worst part was that this guy was lucky. His teacher indulged him, his wife protected him, and in the end, even the man on the Dragon Throne showed him the utmost favoritism.

The fellow villagers, classmates, and colleagues Shen Yanting had bullied: This is intolerable!

The Emperor: No one is allowed to bully my top scholar!

Everyone: Your Majesty, maybe take a look at who's bullying whom?

One day, Shen Yanting cried out to the heavens: "Heaven gave me life for a reason!"

The ministers were speechless: "A reason for what?"

Shen Yanting scoffed: "For all of you, of course."

When he got home, Shen Yanting began to complain: "Wife, they excluded me again today."

Xu Wanyan knew exactly what he was like, but still reached out to pat his dog head in comfort.
