Summary
Highlights
Su Yu, after expressing frustration with a 'trashy novel,' is transmigrated into it as the villain, who is fated to die. A 'villainous system' binds to him, offering rewards for acting as a villain and disrupting the original plot. He immediately receives a 'newbie package' including a cultivation technique, attribute points, and a talent called 'Spit Out Your Heart's Voice.' Su Yu quickly learns to use his new ability to manipulate and antagonize those around him.
Su Yu begins his villainous path by subtly undermining Jiang Chen, the novel's protagonist. He gains villain points when Lin Yuyan, an important character, defends him and when Jiang Chen's attempts to enact the 'hero saves the beauty' cliché fall flat. Su Yu uses his 'Spit Out Your Heart's Voice' ability to expose Jiang Chen's manipulative tactics to Lin Yuyan, causing her favorability towards Jiang Chen to drop and increasing Su Yu's villain points.
Su Yu continues to draw from the villain system, using his points to purchase items and enter lotteries. He acquires the Kun Peng Treasure Art and orchestrates events to gain more villain points. He also manipulates his subordinate, Bai Wan, to make changes to his living quarters, establishing his new, more leisurely villainous lifestyle.
Su Yu attends a qin competition where the goddess Moon Chan is seeking a talented musical partner. Using his insights from the original plot and his 'Spit Out Your Heart's Voice' ability, he correctly interprets Moon Chan's unspoken desires and wins her favor, much to the dismay of other suitors and the original protagonist figures. This encounter leads to Moon Chan falling for Su Yu, significantly altering the original storyline and earning him massive villain points and a high-level lottery chance.
Su Yu faces assassins from the Shadowfiend Hall, sent by Wang Yu, an antagonist. He uses a 'Heavenly Dignity Guardian Ticket' to dispatch them, showcasing his growing power. He also receives gifts and tokens from other powerful figures who are impressed by his strength and ruthlessness. He further solidifies his relationship with Moon Chan, forming a bond that defies the original plot.
Lin Yuyan, enraged by Moon Chan's presence at Lingyun Peak, confronts Su Yu. Su Yu, using Moon Chan as his 'wife,' publicly humiliates Lin Yuyan, further solidifying his villain image and increasing his villain points. He leverages his knowledge of the original plot to manipulate events, such as a visit from the Moon Palace Master, ensuring Moon Chan's continued presence by his side.
Su Yu uses his advanced lottery rewards to gain powerful skills, including the 'Art of Transforming Everything,' which he uses to transform his talking goldfish (Jin Guo Guo, an Ancestral Dragon bloodline) into a human daughter figure. He also acquires 'Invincible Heavy Pupils,' a powerful observational ability. He strategically gives Lin Yuyan a longevity fruit, further manipulating her emotions and increasing her favorability towards him, turning her into another manipulated piece in his game.
Su Yu encounters Luo Ganxue, a key figure from the original novel. He arranges for her to train with Empress Han Yi, effectively detaching her from the original protagonist's path and gaining her loyalty. Later, at the Yaoguang Gambling House, Su Yu cleverly uses Jin Guo Guo to locate a valuable stone, outmaneuvering Jiang Chen, costing him a fortune, and publicly humiliating him, further ruining Jiang Chen's reputation.
Su Yu confronts the weakened Jiang Chen, using Jin Guo Guo and his divine brick to defeat him. He intentionally breaks Jiang Chen's Dantian, effectively crippling his cultivation. He then accepts Jiang Chen's master, Yun Guei Yue, as his own servant, revealing her betrayal to Jiang Chen and completely alienating their relationship. With the original plot entirely subverted and Jiang Chen's destiny destroyed, Su Yu officially completes his main survival mission, now free to forge his own path as a villain, with limitless power and influence.
