Duan Shuchen has a bipolar System, a doomed Villain role, two protagonists who refuse to follow the plot, and one suspiciously attractive male rival who keeps ruining every single one of his evil plans. Clearly, he has transmigrated into a terrible novel. His objective is simple: Be evil. Fix the plot. Get the Hero and Heroine back together. Avoid dying. Secure a stable office job with benefits. Unfortunately, the System is malfunctioning, the protagonists are conspiring against him, and his so-called rival has enough unresolved sexual tension with him to constitute false advertising. But mark my words: You were DEFINITELY told in the synopsis that this is NOT a BL. So whatever happens next is between you, Fate, and your own poor reading comprehension. What to expect: Cultivation-world bureaucracyGenre-savvy crack comedy with an actual plotFound familyAn exhausted Villain who would genuinely prefer administrative workA Hero who keeps getting dragged into terrible romance tropesIdentity mysteries and reality-breaking SystemsRomance hidden underneath mutual antagonism
