Gu Yan transmigrates into another world, only to become a villain: the very first minor boss standing in the way of the Child of Destiny's rise to greatness. His ending is already set.
He plans to be a good person and change the plot, but it turns out the System he's bound to is a Villainous Misdeeds System. He can only earn rewards by committing wicked acts befitting a villain.
If he can't be a good guy, then he'll be the ultimate villain and fight the protagonist to the bitter end!
After Gu Yan receives the System's passive skill [Reasonable Conduct], he suddenly realizes that the heroines who once looked down on him are starting to act strangely.
He steals his beautiful master's underwear and openly declares that he'll take it home to jerk off with.
Yet his master gazes at him tenderly and says, "Yan'er must have known I would be injured when I broke through during this seclusion, so he came all this way to heal me. As for the clothes, he only took them because he didn't want me to feel indebted to him."
He openly peeks at his junior sister bathing, then strips naked and stands face-to-face with her.
But his dazzlingly beautiful junior sister looks at him, deeply moved, and says, "Senior Brother must have sensed that a pervert was lurking outside and rushed in because he was worried about me. He faced me so openly only because he didn't want me to feel embarrassed all by myself."
The Empress, the Demon Venerable, and the Saintess all give similar explanations for their own reasons.
When Gu Yan casually kills every disciple of an orthodox sect to complete a mission, the Child of Destiny leads the others in denouncing him and urges the heroines to turn back from the wrong path.
But the heroines gaze tenderly at Gu Yan and say in unison, "He must have had a reason for doing this!"
Gu Yan looks at the dispirited protagonist and gives him an evil smile. "Sorry, but villains really can do whatever they want."
