I Transmigrated into a Novel as the Villain, So Why Did the Female Lead’s Character Collapse? - Chapter 1:

Chapter 1: Transmigrated into a Novel as the Villain and Bound to the Lie-Flat System

Inside the dim, silent, and deeply secluded warehouse, Zhao Xin was frantic with anxiety.

He shouted at the top of his lungs, “Wanqiu! Wanqiu! Where are you?”

As he shouted, he rushed forward in a panic, his eyes filled with worry. All he wanted was to find the person he could not stop thinking about as quickly as possible.

However, he did not notice at all that behind him, a pitch-black gun muzzle had silently aimed at the back of his heart.

In the next instant, someone pulled the trigger. Fortunately, the gun had a silencer attached, and the deafening sound that should have erupted was completely erased.

A bullet shot out from the darkness like a streak of black lightning and pierced straight through Zhao Xin’s heart.

The light in Zhao Xin’s eyes gradually faded. He stared blankly at the floor and murmured, “Finally… I can go home.”

At that moment, his consciousness began to blur. Even as his life was nearing its end, he still clearly remembered the ending arranged by the script.

Using the last bit of strength left in him, he struggled to stretch out his index finger. On the dusty warehouse floor, stroke by stroke, he wrote three words, “Xia Wanqiu.”

“I’m finally back!” Zhao Xin suddenly sprang up from the soft, comfortable Simmons bed.

He turned toward the windowsill and shouted at the top of his lungs.

A gentle breeze lightly stirred the exquisite curtains. The room was decorated in an elegant and grand European-American style, every corner exuding luxury.

On the tabletop of the desk, expensive watches from all over the world were displayed in rows. Any one of them was priceless.

“Why does this place… look so familiar?” Zhao Xin was filled with confusion.

He had transmigrated into this world more than ten years ago, but in his memory, his true home in reality was not anything like the room before him.

“Hiss, damn system, get out here! What exactly is going on?” Zhao Xin was no ordinary person. He was a transmigrator, and like other transmigrators, he had been bound to a Lie-Flat System.

[Ding! Severe damage has been detected in the plot of the instance where the host is located. The Heavenly Dao of the instance has restarted the world. Host, please experience the plot again.]

“What the hell? Are you kidding me?” Zhao Xin was so furious he nearly jumped out of his skin. “The plot was already 99% complete, and now you’re telling me it was damaged? Why do I feel like you’re deliberately messing with me?”

[Please rest assured, host. The Lie-Flat System shares the same goal as you and will absolutely not scam you.]

Time went back to more than ten years ago. Zhao Xin had been born into an incredibly happy and wealthy family.

In this family, his father was kind and loving, his mother was gentle and doting, and the brothers got along very well. Their lives were filled with laughter, warmth, and harmony.

But who could have imagined that the unreasonable Lie-Flat System would suddenly appear and forcibly bind itself to him without a word?

Afterward, it dragged him straight into the current world and turned him into a male supporting character in the novel Return of the War God. Worse still, he was a complete simp.

The Lie-Flat System told him that as long as he followed the original plot of the novel step by step like a salted fish, he would be able to return to Earth and reunite with his real family.

Return of the War God was a typical male-oriented power fantasy. The protagonist was Ye Kong, the eldest grandson of the family ranked first among the Four Great Families.

When Ye Kong was young, his parents were brutally ambushed and killed, and he himself was forced to wander overseas.

During his eighteen years abroad, he endured everything in silence and constantly tempered himself.

Eighteen years later, Ye Kong returned to the Nation and began an unstoppable, cheat-like life.

Not only did he win the hearts of many beauties, but he also successfully built a commercial empire of his own. The plot was thrilling and satisfying, the kind that made readers feel deeply pleased.

In this novel, bold and novel plotlines appeared one after another.

To satisfy the readers’ desire for gratification, the novel had more than eighty female leads.

The relationships between these female leads were complicated. Some were mother and daughter, some were sisters, some were twins, and so on. In the end, all of them entered the protagonist’s harem.

However, none of this had much to do with Zhao Xin. He had transmigrated into a vicious male supporting character who shared the same name as the protagonist.

In the early part of the novel, his role was to be repeatedly humiliated by the protagonist while constantly trying to steal the protagonist’s wives.

Fortunately, Zhao Xin did not care much about any of that. As far as he was concerned, as long as he could finish the plot and return to the real world, then with the Lie-Flat System, his future days would definitely be relaxed and carefree.

Over the years, Zhao Xin had racked his brains to maintain the persona of a villainous male supporting character. He had earnestly and painstakingly completed the entire life of that villainous supporting role.

But who could have imagined that he would actually have to do it again?

“Screw that. I’m not playing anymore! Hurry up and send me back!” At this moment, Zhao Xin had completely run out of patience and no longer cared about anything.

However, the only response he received was the maddening silence of the Lie-Flat System.

After a long while, Zhao Xin could only helplessly accept reality. He knew very well that without the system’s help, he could not go back at all.

“What exactly is my situation now? Don’t tell me I have to start over from birth.”

[Host, please rest assured. The Lie-Flat System has already helped you skip the previous eighteen years. You will restart from the point where the plot was changed.]

“Heh, now you finally decide to show up.” Zhao Xin sighed helplessly. Since things had already come to this, he could only grit his teeth and accept reality again.

“Then what part of the plot are we at now?”

“The Zhao family birthday banquet in Return of the War God.”

The plot of the Zhao family birthday banquet was actually very simple. In this chapter, Zhao Xin appeared in the novel for the first time as the vicious male supporting character.

His character setting was that he was an extremely devoted simp for Xia Wanqiu, the cold and aloof female CEO. He loved Xia Wanqiu so much that he was practically dying for her.

When he saw Xia Wanqiu bring the protagonist, Ye Kong, to attend his birthday banquet, he took the lead in provoking them and looking for trouble.

In the end, the protagonist Ye Kong taught him a harsh lesson, and Ye Kong also used this chance to become famous among high society.

“I’m making this clear right now. This is the last time! If I finish the plot this time and still can’t go back, I absolutely won’t cooperate with you again!” Zhao Xin’s expression was serious, and his tone was full of determination.

At that moment, knock, knock. A series of knocks came from outside the door.

“Young Master, the formalwear for your birthday today has arrived.”

“Coming!” Zhao Xin took a deep breath and tried hard to calm his emotions.

In an instant, an excited smile rose at the corner of his mouth. Then he quickly walked to the door and opened it.

After more than ten years of tempering, Zhao Xin’s acting skills had already reached perfection. Switching expressions was as easy as blinking to him.

“Young Master, here you are.” The nanny handed an exquisite suit box to Zhao Xin. Watching Zhao Xin’s cheerful back, she could not help sighing softly.

In the nanny’s heart, their young master was clearly a kindhearted good child. How had he become so hopelessly obsessed with such a cold and heartless woman like Xia Wanqiu?

Zhao Xin changed into the brand-new suit, then chose a watch he thought matched best and put it on. Only then did he go downstairs in satisfaction.

The Zhao family mansion was extremely large, covering more than 1,000 square meters.

It used a European-style two-story duplex design.

The wooden staircases on both sides were made from precious golden nanmu wood, and in the center was a spacious living room.

In the living room, there were sofas made from the most precious silk in the world.

Antiques and famous paintings were arranged throughout the living room in a natural and elegant order. The entire home looked like a palace of art.
