After Reincarnating as the Villain in a Novel, All the Female Leads Went Off Script - Chapter 1:
Chapter 1:
“Qing Jingrou! Where are you?!”
In pure darkness, Su Mu’s terrified and anxious voice echoed alone.
“Qing Jingrou! I’m here to take you home!”
Su Mu looked around in all directions, completely unaware that within this “Lightless Forbidden Land,” a pair of cold, sinister eyes was staring straight at him.
Immediately after, a mysterious and profound fluctuation spread outward.
The entire forbidden land began to twist violently, and everything within it was annihilated.
Su Mu’s expression was filled with extreme terror.
Even at the moment before he was shattered into pieces, he still clung to his professional integrity, repeatedly shouting the name “Qing Jingrou.”
As his consciousness gradually blurred, Su Mu instead felt a sense of relief.
“Hoo… damn it, I finally finished acting.”
But the next moment, a beam of light tore through the darkness before his eyes.
Su Mu leapt up from the bed in delight. Not far away, rows of massive halberds radiated powerful auras and gleamed brilliantly.
“Hahaha! Your young master has finally come home!”
“Good morning, Young Master~”
By the bedside, a row of gentle and delicate maids bowed in unison and greeted him softly. A special fragrance filled the air.
Su Mu was instantly dumbfounded.
Wait.
This isn’t right?!
Why does this scene look so familiar?!
“Damn system!”
Su Mu roared inwardly, his heart filled with anger at being toyed with.
Ding! I’m here, Host.]
“Didn’t you say that once I completed the plotline mission, you would send me back?! What is going on now?!”
[The system has detected that the original world line has collapsed and has now restarted the mission.]
“What the hell?”
Su Mu thought he had misheard.
[Please complete the mission again, Host.]
“Complete your damn—!”
Su Mu cursed loudly.
Decades ago, he had originally been just an ordinary person on Blue Star, ordinary in the sense that he casually owned hundreds of billions in assets and casually enjoyed luxury cars and beautiful women, until he read an online novel.
“Divine Abyss Continent,” a standard male-oriented brainless power fantasy novel. The protagonist, Chen Shu, was born humble but possessed extraordinary talent. With the help of countless women in his harem, he slapped the faces of various villains along the way and ultimately ascended to become an Immortal Emperor.
Perhaps due to the author’s twisted sense of humor, such a novel also gave the protagonist a bizarre “virgin cultivation” setting. Before becoming an Immortal Emperor, he could only engage in extreme emotional tug-of-war with all the female characters.
Because Su Mu saw excessively brainless plotlines in the novel and could not help but curse the author for being shameless, he was forcibly dragged by the damn system into the novel’s world and became a cannon-fodder villain.
The system also demanded that Su Mu must complete all plotlines before he could return.
“Does that make any sense?” Su Mu was stunned.
“Divine Abyss Continent” was not a serious novel at all. It was pure wish-fulfillment. For the sake of excitement, that damn author dared to write anything.
This garbage plotline already disgusted him after acting it out once, and now he had to do it again?!
“Damn system, I’m not playing anymore. Send me back right now!”
Su Mu’s tone was extremely unpleasant, a mass of anger pent up in his chest.
[Ding! Host, calm down. There was a small accident in the original timeline. In the later stages, a large number of characters collapsed, which led to the destruction of the world.]
[The system has forcibly restarted the world and made “a tiny bit” of correction. This is the last time.]
What the hell?
World destruction?
What kind of situation was this?
Hearing this, Su Mu’s anger subsided quite a bit.
Thinking that this was all for the sake of going home, compromising was not embarrassing. He took a deep breath.
“Fine. I’ll trust you one last time. Tell me, what’s the situation now?”
[Ding! Considering the special circumstances, the system has very thoughtfully skipped the Host directly to the key plotline.]
[Current plotline: Chapter 43, Disciple Acceptance Ceremony!]
As a veteran actor, Su Mu was extremely familiar with this part.
The plot was not complicated and took place in the Heavenly Ascension Holy Land.
In the original novel, Su Mu deliberately entered the Heavenly Ascension Holy Land in order to get close to the female lead, the Iceberg Goddess Qing Jingrou, solely to become her fellow disciple and spend time with her day and night.
The protagonist, Chen Shu, “stood up for justice,” harshly condemned Su Mu’s act of using connections and directly challenged Su Mu, who was a whole major realm above him.
In the end, Chen Shu won by a narrow margin in a single move, instantly becoming famous in the Holy Land and being regarded as a young prodigy.
“Alright then…”
Su Mu felt somewhat helpless.
“If you dare lie to me again this time, I won’t let it go.”
[Ding! This system aims to provide the Host with the most perfect plotline experience. The system and the Host are on the same side.]
Su Mu sneered inwardly.
Bang bang—
The door was knocked, and the voice of Butler Mo sounded from outside.
“Young Master, it’s almost time. We should set off.”
“Coming.”
Su Mu switched expressions instantly.
As a veteran actor, immersing himself in the plotline had already become instinct. Acting skills were the least of his worries.
He raised his hand slightly, and the maids hurried over to help him change his clothes.
Before long, a refined and handsome young noble appeared on the spot, though his complexion was somewhat pale and carried a faintly sinister softness.
Before leaving, Su Mu deliberately selected a fierce-looking halberd from the weapon rack. This was his signature weapon.
He swung the halberd lightly, revealing a wicked smile.
Su Mu nodded in satisfaction.
After leaving the room—
Uncle Mo looked at the Young Master he had watched grow up. Now that he had become a handsome youth, Uncle Mo could not help but sigh inwardly.
“The Young Master is good in every way, except his taste is truly questionable.”
“Why did he have to fall for a woman like Qing Jingrou?”
“Sigh…”
Following the butler, they boarded the flying boat and swiftly passed over the vast Su Family territory, heading straight for the Heavenly Ascension Holy Land.
Even on the flying boat, one could feel the extremely dense spiritual energy and the laws of the Great Dao in the air. This was the foundation of the Immortal Clans.
The power structure of the Divine Abyss Continent was not complicated. The Three Great Holy Lands stood above all, followed by the Ten Great Immortal Clans. The Su Clan was one of them.
Any single force possessed unimaginable power. Countless experts resided within. Even destroying a small world could be done with a mere flick of a finger.
Su Mu was the only son of the Su Clan’s Patriarch and the sole heir of the Immortal Clan. His father, Su Ningye, was the strongest expert of the Su Clan, a top-tier great cultivator at the peak of the Immortal King Realm.
With such a supreme identity and background, Su Mu’s own cultivation talent was not bad.
Yet despite this, the role he played was a cannon-fodder villain, a brainless simp.
Of course, in the original novel, Su Mu regarded this as true love.
On the flying boat—
“Uncle Mo, is Qing Jingrou also in the Holy Land right now?”
Su Mu dutifully played the role of a deeply devoted simp. More than ten years of solid acting made it impossible to detect any flaw.
“Uh… Miss Qing… she is also on the way to the Holy Land.”
Uncle Mo paused slightly but still answered honestly, sighing even more deeply in his heart.
“Young Master, Qing Jingrou really isn’t worthy of you. Please wake up…”
The flying boat soon arrived at its destination.
Su Mu flipped his body and landed in the plaza, with the Heavenly Ascension Holy Land right before his eyes.
With the Su Clan’s strength, Su Mu had no need to enter the Holy Land at all. He came purely for the female lead.
As for Su Mu’s father, Su Ningye, he doted on him to an extreme degree. After all, he had obtained a son in his later years, so he deliberately pulled strings to allow Su Mu to enter openly.
As for why strings could be pulled, it was naturally because the Su Clan was a “shareholder” of the Heavenly Ascension Holy Land. The Three Great Holy Lands were originally established jointly by the Ten Great Immortal Clans.
The moment they landed—
Uncle Mo called out to Su Mu and handed him a storage ring.
“Young Master, this is an enrollment gift prepared for you.”
Su Mu raised an eyebrow.
This plotline did not exist before.
However, he still accepted it with a smile.
“Thank you, Uncle Mo.”
Uncle Mo slowly shook his head, “No need to thank me. I didn’t prepare this. It was Miss Han Ying. She gave it to me in advance and specifically instructed me to hand it to you once you arrived at the Holy Land.”
Su Mu: “Who?!”
