Transmigrate into a Book as the Villain: I Trick the Protagonist's Group by Playing a Role

Gao Yuan woke up one day to find himself inside an ongoing infinite-flow novel, as a cannon-fodder NPC who wouldn't survive three chapters.

In the original story, the protagonist's group would kill him in the first instance and give them a golden finger, leaving him dead without a body intact.

Familiar with the plot of the first three chapters, he has no intention of meeting the same fate.

Facing instances teeming with deadly traps, the protagonist's group, each with a halo of their own, still plan to use him as a pawn just like in the original.

Gao Yuan sneers and plays along, using his roleplaying golden finger to exploit plot loopholes, counter every move, and set traps at every turn.

In haunted instances and deadly trials, while others fight desperately to survive, he dodges death flags and turns the tables on the protagonist's group.

After falling into his traps time and again, the group finally realizes that this cannon-fodder character, who should have died early on, has already thrown the entire story into chaos.
