“Qin Xiao, come to my office!”
Hearing the voice, Qin Xiao looked around the classroom. Everything felt both unfamiliar and familiar. With a sleepy look on his face, he followed behind the teacher in a daze.
“Damn it, did I transmigrate?!”
He never imagined something like this would happen to him, and to make it more absurd, he had transmigrated into the body of a young master from a prestigious family.
That alone wouldn’t have mattered much, but after merging with the original host’s memories, Qin Xiao realized this was the world of an urban web novel.
No wonder a truck had chased him around corners before the transmigration, determined to hit him—it was delivering fate.
Had he known earlier, he would’ve just cooperated. Instead, he ran like a dog, even lost his shoes.
Now fully aware of his situation, plotlines from the novel flashed through his mind.
According to the novel’s plotline, the villain was a super overbearing CEO who got repeatedly humiliated by the protagonist after each encounter.
And that wasn’t the worst of it. The villain even abandoned his goddess-level, flawless fiancée and went to fawn over a white lotus green tea.
He was treated like a fool by both her and the protagonist.
Even after getting publicly humiliated, he still wouldn’t give up on the green tea girl. To prove his so-called devotion, he gave them his blessings and willingly became the protagonist’s lapdog.
He helped the protagonist build half his empire, just to show how gentle and loyal he was to the woman he loved.
“What the hell? Was this really written by a human being?!”
Qin Xiao recalled the plotline of The Divine Doctor Dragon Emperor, the Domineering Live-in Son-in-Law, and suddenly felt awful.
Back then, he thought it was a fun read. But now that he was in it, he realized the author had to be brain-dead for ten years straight to write something this idiotic.
This was like rubbing the reader’s brain into the ground and flushing it down the toilet.
Looking back now, that author didn’t see readers as human. Otherwise, how could they write something like this?
A noble young master from a wealthy family, raised with elite education and refinement, would act like that?
“Hehe, good thing that big villain isn’t me. If it were me, I’d puke for three days straight!”
Qin Xiao felt relieved at the thought.
All of that tragic fate belonged to the villain—Qin Xiao’s older brother Qin Lin, who now spoiled and doted on him. It didn’t have much to do with him, Qin Xiao.
But the more he thought about the Dragon Emperor protagonist, the more his head hurt.
Sure, he had transmigrated and knew the plot, but this was an urban brain-dead novel. The protagonist’s plot armor was ridiculously strong.
Once the protagonist showed up, everyone else’s IQ dropped. Could he really change that?
He couldn’t just sit by and watch his ‘beloved big brother’ turn into the protagonist’s lackey, could he?
Used as a stepping stone for the protagonist to shine and slap faces?
And if that happened, Qin Xiao’s own fate wouldn’t be any better. He’d become a lackey alongside his overbearing CEO brother, getting bossed around like a top.
Even random female leads could treat him like dirt.
As a noble son from a wealthy family, with a life of luxury ahead of him, why should he end up like this?
In fact, in the original novel, just one sentence from the original host annoyed the female lead, and he got slapped across the face.
And stuff like that happened often—he was constantly humiliated. No dignity left.
Damn it…
Thinking of this made Qin Xiao feel waves of pain. His groin was twitching in sympathy.
“System, hurry up and show yourself!”
[Ding! Hello, host. The Fate Assistance System is at your service.]
Hearing that voice, Qin Xiao instantly perked up. “Heh, I was just shouting for fun. Can’t believe it really answered!”
[…Host, if you say it like that, I might just leave.]
Qin Xiao quickly said, “Don’t! How can you leave? Without you, how can I play this game?”
When he heard the system wanted to leave, of course he couldn’t accept it.
The protagonist’s plot armor was ridiculous, and on top of that, he was the Divine Doctor Dragon Emperor. In a ‘harmonious society’ like this, going up against him without a system would be suicide.
He had no intention of becoming a disposable background character.
[This system is the Fate Assistance System. It provides the host with full support to transition from villain to protagonist. All you need to do is seize the protagonist’s luck, and you can replace him.]
Qin Xiao immediately understood.
As expected of a system—short, sharp, and to the point.
Still unsure, he asked tentatively, “System, can I just kill the protagonist? That’s the quickest way, isn’t it?”
[Ding! Uh, this system isn’t a villain system—it’s a Fate Assistance System. It won’t provide everything to the host. So if you do that, what benefits do you gain?]
Qin Xiao coughed. That made sense. If killing the protagonist didn’t bring any rewards, then there was no point.
At least until someone could replace the protagonist, that guy still needed to exist.
“So what exactly do I need to do?” Qin Xiao asked.
[Ding! The host must seize all of the protagonist’s luck to increase your villain points. The system will then help you replace the protagonist and break free from the world’s plot line.]
[Aside from the protagonist’s golden fingers, you can take his subordinates, wealth, fame… and female leads. Each time you seize one, you’ll receive a reward based on the achievement.]
[Kind reminder: in urban novels, the female leads are the protagonist’s biggest plot advantage aside from his golden finger. Seizing them can bring unimaginable rewards.]
Qin Xiao suddenly understood what he had to do.
Urban fluff novels didn’t involve much killing or scheming—just a few typical plot devices. Easy.
And this kind reminder from the system was very interesting.
Wasn’t this telling him to steal the female leads?
This… this…
I like it. Hehehe…
“System, you really get me. Hehehe…”
[…]
[Ding! As this is the host’s first time using the system, a starter gift package has been awarded. Please click to open it.]
Hearing that, Qin Xiao immediately lit up. He didn’t even ask for it, but the system already handed him a starter gift.
A system that didn’t scam the host? Worth praising.
“Qin Xiao, I’m talking to you! What are you thinking about?”
Just as Qin Xiao was chatting with the system, Xia Shiya’s voice rang out.
Seeing Qin Xiao giggling foolishly, Xia Shiya frowned. Why did he look slightly… off? Was it just her imagination?
She frowned and said, “Qin Xiao, what’s going on with you lately? Why are you messing up every day and always stirring up trouble?”
Qin Xiao rolled his eyes inwardly.
What else could it be? The plot line was starting, and the world’s script had already begun lowering his intelligence.
