As a Villainous Side Character, I Just Want a Quiet Life

I'm an utterly ordinary college student. After staying up late to rant about a frustrating hero novel, I focused my criticism on how the villain wasn't ruthless enough and the protagonist was too much of a bleeding heart.

When I woke up, I'd become the novel's vicious villain with the same name: Lian Perulia, a disposable young master who, at just thirteen, was hated by everyone, about to be disowned by his family and expelled from the academy, and destined to die on the streets.

My golden finger? Just a shabby status screen showing [Strength 6, Stamina 3, Reputation -99], along with sinister skills like "Make Excuses Lv. 2" and "Frame Someone Lv. 3."

Where was the genius prince start I was promised?! Did I get this hellish difficulty for free with my phone plan?

To stay alive, I devised the ultimate plan:

Keep a low profile: stay away from the protagonist group and avoid every plot event.

Graduate safely: survive at the academy, even if I have to clean toilets. I must not get expelled!

Follow the plot, but only a little: To keep the world from falling apart (mostly because I'm afraid I'll be the one to break first), I have no choice but to play the villainous side character and trip up Ian, the child of destiny. But I have one rule: cause trouble, never cause harm!

But the plot plays dirty!

The perfect goddess Eleanor suddenly started following me, then nearly got herself killed in a cave. What could I do? I had to save her mouth to mouth while frantically thinking, "Troublemaker, stay away!" then cut my wrist in the middle of the night to feed her my blood (literally), and pretend it was an "accident."

The reward for saving her life wasn't gratitude, but her increasingly frequent stares and the murderous looks from her group of girlfriends.

I just want to quietly play the villain and graduate! Why do the main characters keep flocking to me?
