The Villain Is Surrounded by Delusional Female Leads Who Won’t Leave Him Alone - Chapter 2:

Chapter 2: Just Transmigrated and Already Made a Mistake. What? Am I a Temporary Worker to Take the Blame?

Worried about getting into another car accident, Fei Yangyao had one of his bodyguards take the driver’s seat. 

Fei Yangyao’s character setting in the novel included his love for personally driving sports cars, which explained why he never hired an actual chauffeur.

Complaining quietly in his heart, Fei Yangyao sat in the back seat and immediately opened the system’s introduction to understand the current situation.

[…]
[…]

After listening to the system’s explanation, Fei Yangyao learned that this world was based on the novel “Dragon King Descends: Carefree in South City”, but it was incomplete. 

As long as he played the villain Fei Yangyao properly, finished the related plotline, and repaired the Heavenly Dao, he could return to the real world. Not only that, but he would also be granted three wishes.

By then, wouldn’t it be wonderful to own a mansion and marry a rich, beautiful woman?

Although Fei Yangyao was already a rich heir in this novel’s world, his existence merely served as a stepping stone for Ye Chen. Eventually, everything he had would be taken away.

As for changing the novel’s direction? Impossible. If he carelessly altered the plot, he might be erased by the system. The risk was too high. The system made it clear that the Heavenly Dao was above all.

In that case, Ye Chen must be the chosen one of the Heavenly Dao—something a mere villain couldn’t oppose. Besides, the system was called the “Heavenly Dao Repair System.” How could he go against the very thing that gave him power?

If he simply went along with the flow, completed the task, and returned to reality, his grandmother could wake up again…

He remembered how his grandmother once wished to see her grandchild someday. But to have a child, he needed a girlfriend first. A girlfriend…

“But system, even if this is a novel world, I don’t want to wear a green hat. What happens to the female lead later?”

[Rest assured, Host. Such Heavenly Dao-displeasing events will never occur. I guarantee satisfaction—you’re satisfied, I’m satisfied, and the Heavenly Dao is satisfied. There will be no green hat for you.]

“Good! Excellent!” Hearing that promise, Fei Yangyao felt relieved. The novel hadn’t explicitly stated anything back then, and he used to wonder whether the author had avoided writing it for some reason. Now it seemed it wasn’t omitted—it just never happened.

His grandmother had once fallen ill from anger after his uncle was cheated on and became a vegetable. Though such cases were rare, he absolutely couldn’t let that tragedy repeat itself.

According to the book’s timeline, not much time had passed yet. His grandmother’s hospital bills were already paid for more than a year, so that was one less thing to worry about. Once he finished the novel and returned home, everything would be fine.

It’s just acting, right? He’d act!

Still… why did this system’s voice sound oddly familiar? Forget it. No point overthinking. Once he went back…

Just as Fei Yangyao started planning what to do with his three wishes, dreaming of the carefree life awaiting him after his return—

“Young Master, you haven’t delivered the flowers to Miss Gu yet…” Seeing that Fei Yangyao seemed ready to head straight home, the butler, Uncle Fu, hurriedly reminded him.

“Miss Gu?”

I didn’t forget—I just have no clue what point in the novel this is!

He’d just transmigrated and got caught up in an accident! How could he care about Gu Xiyue right now!

At that moment, the system’s voice echoed in his mind.

[Chapter 8: The Simp Villain Fei Yangyao Makes His Debut, Ice-Cold CEO Gu Xiyue’s Fake Public Relationship]
[Characters: Fei Yangyao, Gu Xiyue, Ye Chen]
[Plot Completion: 10%]
[Plot Rating: G-rank]
[Warning! Host must act in accordance with your role and complete the relevant plot to a passing degree, or the novelline may collapse, and you may lose your rewards!]

“What?”

10%? Where? I just got here!

No one told me anything! How am I supposed to know the plot? Does this rating mean I’m doomed the moment I appear?

When Fei Yangyao finally calmed down, he realized this intersection was right in front of Gu Corporation’s main gate, and behind him was a delivery truck loaded with 520 supreme golden roses. Suddenly, the memory of Chapter 8 from the novel came flooding back.

Let’s rewind to the “VCR” version:

Today was the female lead Gu Xiyue’s birthday. Fei Yangyao had ordered 520 golden supreme roses, planning to publicly confess to her in front of Gu Corporation.

He waited until evening. When Gu Xiyue came out, she was, as usual, accompanied by several bodyguards meant to keep Fei Yangyao away. Among them was Ye Chen.

When Gu Xiyue saw Fei Yangyao waiting with a car full of bright red roses, her already cold expression turned even icier.

Fed up with his constant pestering, she pointed to one of the bodyguards—none other than Ye Chen—and coldly declared that he was her boyfriend, telling Fei Yangyao to stop harassing her.

Fei Yangyao, humiliated, ordered his own bodyguards to “teach Ye Chen a lesson” and make him back off.

Unfortunately, what he didn’t know was that Ye Chen wasn’t an ordinary man—he was the Young Master of the Dragon King Hall, its most gifted prodigy, and, most importantly, the novel’s main character and face-slapping expert!

Ye Chen’s purpose in South City was to unite its entire business world, paving the way for Dragon King Hall to control the southern region. His first target was the weakest of the four great families—the Gu family.

And of course, the Gu family’s CEO, Gu Xiyue, was already his destined woman. He was working as her bodyguard solely because of her.

Otherwise, why would the Dragon King humble himself?

Ye Chen cultivated the “Thousand Yang Divine Technique,” which demanded strict discipline—before reaching the peak of the Martial Lord Realm, he had to remain pure. Breaking this rule would cripple his cultivation or even destroy his life.

Once he reached that peak, if he found a perfectly compatible yin counterpart, he could progress to the “Ten Thousand Yang Divine Technique.” However, that part wasn’t fully written in the novel, so Fei Yangyao didn’t know the details.

At this stage, Ye Chen’s strength was roughly equal to that of heavyweight champion Tyson.

Against a dozen bodyguards, Ye Chen easily defeated them one by one. Then he broke Fei Yangyao’s leg, sending him to the hospital—temporarily out of the novel.

Summary version: He chased, she was annoyed. She dodged, he pursued. Desperate, she pointed—Ye Chen appeared. One punch later, Fei Yangyao was down, hospitalized, and out.

But now, since Fei Yangyao’s car accident delayed him, he’d completely missed that key plot!

His car had stopped at the corner—right in a blind spot!

Gu Xiyue, not seeing him, simply left in the opposite direction.

All the props and actors were in place, but the scene was never performed!

Checking the time, Fei Yangyao realized Gu Xiyue was probably already home. The scene was officially ruined.

But was that his fault?

“System, this isn’t right! That 10% isn’t on me. Can I retake it?”

[Past events cannot be reshaped.]

The mechanical reply made Fei Yangyao feel a dark cloud hanging over him. For a moment, he swore the system was laughing at him.

Yes, definitely someone was sabotaging him!

“Wait, what kind of bugged system are you? I arrived at the wrong time—how could I possibly finish that plot?” Fei Yangyao argued logically. “Even the Emperor of Heaven couldn’t have passed this!”

“Don’t tell me I’m just your temporary worker scapegoat?”

He truly suspected that.

In his past life, whenever something went wrong, companies would always blame the “temporary worker.” Surely the system wouldn’t pull that PR stunt, right?

[Feedback received.]
[Scanning…]
[Detected: Unknown anomaly caused plot deviation.]
[System compensation will be issued within seven days.]
[New mission unlocked: Plot Compensation Task.]

“Phew, not bad! The system actually responded quickly. Knows its mistake and makes amends!”

“But what’s this Plot Compensation Task about?”

[This task aims to repair the world’s narrative damage caused by the unknown anomaly. The host can complete it by doing things beneficial to repairing this world’s balance.]

“Beneficial to repairing the world? That’s so vague. What are you, a moral guidance system now? Does helping old ladies cross the street count? Donating blood? Contributing to society?”

“Or maybe… I can trigger another plot where Gu Xiyue and Ye Chen fake their relationship again?”

[Host must decide independently. The system’s evaluation will be comprehensive.]

“What kind of system doesn’t even give proper instructions? I’m leaving a one-star review!”

[Host must decide independently. The system’s evaluation will be comprehensive.]

“…Forget it. I’ll figure it out later.”

Hearing the system’s unyielding tone, Fei Yangyao sighed helplessly.

[Hoo~] (a quiet sigh)

“Wait, did I just hear you sigh? Are you mocking me?”

Suspicious, Fei Yangyao frowned. If the system’s voice weren’t so mechanical, he could almost imagine a blushing girl nervously fanning herself.

When no reply came, he figured it had gone silent mode and logged out of the system.

“Let’s just go home.”

According to the original novel, Gu Xiyue would already be home by now. There was no way to chase her down to act out the “fake couple” scene.

Besides, Ye Chen wasn’t even around—how could he perform the script without the protagonist?

Go to the hospital? He wasn’t injured! Showing up there for no reason would make him look insane. They’d probably send him straight to the psychiatric ward!

“What about the flowers?” Uncle Fu asked.

“The flowers? Just throw them away like before,” Fei Yangyao said casually.

Though it felt wasteful, he reminded himself to stay in character. A spoiled rich playboy wouldn’t care about wasted flowers anyway.

After a long day, Fei Yangyao decided to return to his villa, send A’Jiu away, and rest before figuring out how to play his role better.

He already had a plan to get rid of her, but the acting part still gave him a headache.

Though he’d joined a drama club in high school, as an unnoticed background member, he’d barely acted. The others even agreed he had zero talent.

So playing a spoiled rich kid? Not his strength.

A big challenge indeed.

Still… Fei Yangyao believed in himself.

Besides, maybe he could exploit a loophole.

Since the novel followed Ye Chen’s perspective, Fei Yangyao was only mentioned during key appearances. What he did off-screen wasn’t described. That meant small deviations wouldn’t matter as long as he maintained his public image.

As long as he acted like a spoiled heir in public, what he did privately in his villa wouldn’t break the plot.

“Wait, maybe don’t throw the flowers yet…”

Too wasteful. Maybe they could be reused somehow.

Fei Yangyao searched his phone to see if the roses could be repurposed.

[Temporary Mission: Donate 520 Supreme Roses to South City Nursing Home.]
[Task Summary: Donate 520 Supreme Roses to South City Nursing Home.]
[Task Requirement: Donate 520 Supreme Roses to South City Nursing Home.]

“…”

Did this system just copy-paste the task three times?

Well, whatever. Could roses even be used for charity visits? He didn’t know, but it wasn’t a bad idea. At least he’d have something to do with them in the future.

“Uncle Fu, don’t throw the flowers away. That’s wasteful. Send them to the city nursing home.”

“Oh, and another thing,” Fei Yangyao said, suddenly remembering his image. “Make sure no one knows it was from me. Keep it anonymous. My reputation needs to stay intact.”

He then glanced at the “barbecue” beside him—A’Jiu, who still looked like she was daydreaming about being eaten.

“Understood, Young Master,” Uncle Fu replied.

A’Jiu, loyal as ever, didn’t care about anything except her Young Master’s orders. Unless it was something serious, she let everything go in one ear and out the other.

“Also, A’Jiu, don’t repeat anything you heard in the car today.” Fei Yangyao added another precaution—if A’Jiu promised something, she’d never break it.

“Okay, A’Jiu won’t tell anyone. A’Jiu is barbecue now. If you don’t believe me, we can pinky swear.” She stretched out her hands, carefully hooking her right pinky with her left.

“I believe you. You’re not a child anymore. But fine, let’s pinky swear—an adult pinky swear!” Fei Yangyao extended his hand solemnly and hooked her pinky.

“Not a child anymore…” A sparkle flashed across A’Jiu’s eyes. “Alright!”

Under the dim streetlights, the glimmer in her gaze went unnoticed by Fei Yangyao.

“Pinky swear, hang for a hundred years, never break it…” The overlapping voices of a man and a woman echoed softly in the car, while Uncle Fu smiled quietly in the driver’s seat.
