Xu Yuan transmigrated into a book, becoming the only son of the Xu family, a top financial magnate in a high-martial world. The original owner was a textbook cannon fodder character. From the start, he bullied the fated male lead, Jiang Ping, and his younger sister, Jiang An. In the end, Jiang Ping crushed the whole family, and his death was inevitable.
The good news: Xu Yuan arrived right in the middle of the bullying, before things had gone too far.
The bad news: the System showed up.
The [Villain Value System] activated, with simple, brutal rules: bully others, seize opportunities, and provoke the fated one to earn points, which can be exchanged for cultivation, martial arts, and pills. The more Jiang Ping hated him, the stronger Xu Yuan became.
Xu Yuan looked at Jiang An, crying so hard in her wheelchair that she was hiccuping, then at Jiang Ping, held down on the ground by bodyguards, his eyes practically bulging with rage. He cursed under his breath.
"Fine. I'll be the villain. It's better than dying."
And so the Xu family's castoff began his spectacular career as a villain: making a name for himself on the black market, face-slapping people at the academy, stealing the male lead's opportunities, setting up a military major, kidnapping a demon envoy, and selling intelligence to three different sides. He racked up points with his power and the System, while silently reciting the twenty-four-character principle to justify himself.
He picked fights only with prodigies, stole opportunities only from enemies, and at the most critical moments used the most infuriating words to save the people in the greatest danger.
Jiang Ping gritted his teeth in hatred. "Xu Yuan, what are you trying to do?"
Xu Yuan: "Earn points. What else?"
Jiang An, eyes red: "You say that every time..."
Xu Yuan: "Which time? When I insulted you, or when I saved you?"
Jiang Ping: "Stay away from my sister."
Xu Yuan: "Tell her not to make it to the fifth rank, and I'll stay away."
Jiang An: "I made it."
Xu Yuan: "...Then I'll get closer to you."
