The Female Lead Brought Her Lover to the Wedding Banquet and Broke Off the Marriage; I Slaughtered Her Entire Family - Chapter 1:

Chapter 1: I Opened My Eyes and Became the Villain?

“Lin Chen, I’ll give you a word of advice! Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river—never look down on a poor youth!”

“Even if your Lin family holds immense power, I’m not the least bit afraid!”

“Today, I’m taking Wanqing away!”

Why did these lines sound so familiar?

Lin Chen suddenly opened his eyes, dazed as he looked around. Inside the golden, resplendent palace, lanterns were lit and decorations hung in celebration. It was clearly a grand wedding hall.

He was dressed in a black ceremonial robe—clearly the groom. Yet opposite him stood a breathtakingly beautiful bride in a flowing white wedding gown, holding tightly onto another young man’s hand. Her eyes were firm, as if swearing an oath to the heavens.

“Lin Chen, I’ve never loved you! Li Feng and I pledged ourselves to each other long ago, and we will never betray that! It’s perfect that all the elders are here today to witness—I’m breaking off our engagement!”

Zhou Wanqing’s eyes were filled with cold resolve, as if she were glaring at her enemy.

Lin Chen suddenly realized—damn, I’ve become the villain!

He had just woken up to find himself transmigrated into a high-level martial world, and he was the genuine villain. Today was supposed to be his wedding day with Zhou Wanqing, but the so-called child of destiny, Li Feng, had barged in and stolen the bride in front of everyone, even challenging him to a duel.

As expected, the child of destiny defeated the villain.

The Lin family became a laughingstock, while Li Feng rose to fame, starting his path of reversal. Empowered by fortune and destiny, he eventually became a Martial God and turned around to slaughter the entire Lin family.

Recalling all this, Lin Chen couldn’t help but clench his teeth in fury.

Damn it, the original host was such a pathetic simp!

It wasn’t enough that he wore a massive green hat—he even dragged the entire family to the grave. If Lin Chen were the Lin family’s ancestor, he’d climb out of his coffin just to strangle this disgrace of a descendant.

His body trembled in rage. Since he had transmigrated into this body, he absolutely wouldn’t let that pathetic ending repeat.

If he was going to be the villain, he’d be the strongest one. He’d slaughter every so-called protagonist blessed with destiny!

“You’ve got a lot of nerve!!”

A furious voice boomed through the hall.

A noblewoman dressed in luxurious clothes descended the staircase. Her skin was smooth, her figure graceful—it was impossible to tell she was over forty. Behind her followed dozens of Lin family martial artists, their aura overwhelming.

“Mom?”

Lin Chen instinctively called out.

“Shut your mouth!”

Gu Qingzhu glared at Lin Chen, her eyes burning with fury. She couldn’t understand how the prestigious Lin family, full of heroes for generations, could have produced a useless coward like Lin Chen—especially from her own womb.

Ignoring the noble daughters of the Cloud Region, he had fallen for a girl from a poor background and trailed behind her all day like a dog. No matter how she scolded or hit him, he never retaliated. He constantly showered her family with rare treasures, becoming the most infamous simp among the noble circles.

He even threatened to take his own life unless Zhou Wanqing married into the Lin family. Gu Qingzhu had compromised again and again.

Yet Zhou Wanqing showed up with a pretty boy and humiliated the Lin family in front of all their guests.

“A daughter of the Zhou family—who gave you the guts to betray my son? Was it because the Lin family treated you too well that you forgot your own place? Answer me!”

Gu Qingzhu’s voice boomed like thunder.

The hall instantly fell silent.

Guests exchanged uneasy looks. Everyone knew this pair of shameless lovers was doomed. Offending the Lin family meant even ten lives wouldn’t be enough.

Zhou Wanqing’s delicate body trembled slightly, but as soon as she looked down at her lover gripping her hand, all fear disappeared.

“Aunt, the Lin family has indeed treated me well over the years, but I never asked Lin Chen for any of it. Everything he gave was one-sided—how could you blame me for that? I’m just an ordinary girl, I didn’t dare refuse him. I could only endure it in silence. You’re a woman too—why must women make things hard for each other?”

Lin Chen almost vomited blood hearing this.

I accepted your kindness ≠ I accepted you.

This is the infamous “candy girl fallacy”—destroyed in one hit.

“Heh.”

Gu Qingzhu sneered coldly. “Endure in silence? Without the Lin family’s protection and support, would your Zhou family have risen so quickly? Gold and silver, rare treasures, martial arts techniques—your Zhou family took them all. You even spent it all before the end of the month and had Chen’er ask for more. You even tricked him into stealing the legendary Cloud Spirit Stone and giving it to you—do you think I don’t know?”

Zhou Wanqing’s face turned pale, her lips twitching. She had thought she was flawless, but Gu Qingzhu had seen through it all.

“I originally overlooked it since you were young and the Lin family’s future daughter-in-law, but you repaid kindness with betrayal—debauched and thieving!”

“I didn’t—I…”

Zhou Wanqing had no words. Her eyes turned red as if she’d been terribly wronged.

At that moment, Li Feng stepped forward, feigning righteousness.

“I truly love Wanqing. Your son is domineering and forceful, stealing what is mine. Instead of teaching him properly, you’re targeting a younger generation. Is this the Lin family’s sense of justice?”

Lin Chen gritted his teeth in fury.

It was Li Feng who encouraged Zhou Wanqing to steal the Cloud Spirit Stone for his cultivation. And this hypocrite dares pretend to be noble? How blind must the heavens be to bless someone like him with destiny?

The guests began murmuring among themselves. Gu Qingzhu’s patience had reached its limit.

Just as she was about to order the guards to seize the pair, Lin Chen stepped forward and said calmly, “Mom, this started because of me. Let me handle it.”

Gu Qingzhu frowned. “Chen’er, are you ignoring the Lin family’s dignity just to protect this shameless woman?”

Lin Chen sneered and shook his head. A cold light flickered in his eyes—one Gu Qingzhu had never seen before.

“All the dignity I’ve lost these years—I’ll take it back with my own hands.”

Gu Qingzhu’s expression changed slightly. Maybe letting Lin Chen end this himself would help him truly grow.

“Remember, the entire Lin family stands behind you. The Cloud Region’s 100,000 soldiers are behind you. Even if the sky falls, someone will hold it up for you.”

She wasn’t exaggerating.

One of the five remaining Martial Gods in the Cloud Region was Lin Chen’s grandfather, Lin Jun, who commanded 100,000 martial artists at the border. His three sons were all half-step Martial Gods.

Frankly, the Lin family’s power was enough to overthrow the empire without lifting a sword. Lin Chen, as the sole heir, could march into the palace and sleep with the emperor’s wife, and no one would dare touch him—killing a few people was nothing.

“Don’t worry, Mom.”

Lin Chen turned and slowly walked toward Zhou Wanqing and Li Feng.

Zhou Wanqing let out a breath of relief. To her, Lin Chen was a dog she could summon or dismiss at will. He was easy to manipulate and would surely let her go.

“Lin Chen, you’re a good person. I think we can still be friends…”

Before she could finish—

PAH!

A loud slap echoed through the hall.

Lin Chen’s entire body radiated killing intent. He roared, “Good my ass! You filthy slut—dare to cheat on me? Today, I’ll show you what it means to live a life worse than death!”

The scene flipped too fast. All the guests were stunned.

Was this really the same submissive, cowardly Lin Chen?

Zhou Wanqing’s cheek burned with pain. She froze. Never in her wildest dreams did she expect Lin Chen to hit her. Her shock quickly turned to fury. “Lin Chen, you actually hit me!”

Lin Chen ignored her and wiped his hand in disgust. “Damn, she reeks—can’t even wipe it off.”

Li Feng hesitated, then protectively pulled Zhou Wanqing into his arms. “Wanqing, are you okay?”

“Lin Chen, hitting a woman—what kind of man are you? If you’re a real man, fight me one-on-one. If I win, let us leave safely. Do you dare?”

Lin Chen smirked devilishly.

So, you finally said the line.

According to the original plot, the previous Lin Chen had agreed to the duel out of desperation to keep the woman he loved.

In this world where martial strength was supreme, the hierarchy went: Martial Artist, Grandmaster, Martial Lord, Martial God. Martial World Sovereigns were only heard of in legends—no one had ever reached that level since the beginning of time.

Lin Chen was born into the Lin family, naturally talented, and backed by endless resources. His cultivation was above Li Feng’s. He shouldn’t have lost.

But the original host fought recklessly and was full of openings. On top of that, Li Feng had a hidden trump card that allowed him to defeat Lin Chen in public.

Lin Chen wasn’t going to fall for the same trick again. He would give Li Feng no chance this time.

He raised his hand, ready to order all Lin family martial artists to beat Li Feng to death when suddenly a voice echoed in his mind like a whisper from a past life:

[Host detected. Destiny Villain System successfully bound.]

[This system is designed to assist the host in hunting down destiny protagonists and becoming the ultimate villain.]

[Newbie mission triggered: Accept the challenge from destiny’s child Li Feng to receive Earth-Rank Martial Skill – Annihilation Finger.]

Lin Chen accepted the system in under a second and was overjoyed.

With his current level, using an Earth-Rank martial skill would allow him to instantly kill anyone below a Martial Lord—let alone the not-yet-risen Li Feng.

“Fine, I accept your challenge,” Lin Chen said instantly.

Li Feng smiled faintly—everything was going according to his plan.

But as he gathered his spiritual energy and looked at Lin Chen, he suddenly noticed the corner of Lin Chen’s mouth twitching madly.

Wait a minute… why was he smiling too?
