Shen Tian held his head as he stumbled backward, staring at the unbelievable scene before him.

"...What the actual fuck?"

Because lying on the bed before him.

Bound hand and foot with silk restraints, her breathing soft and uneven from whatever drug had been forced into her body.

Was a random beauty...

Shen Tian’s brain nearly short-circuited.

One second ago, he’d been lying in bed scrolling through trash webnovels at three in the morning.

The next second he appeared here.

No explanation.

No warning.

Just instant criminal charges.

Shen Tian looked around in panic before immediately raising both hands.

"Okay, first of all, I didn’t do anything."

He pointed at the unconscious woman defensively, despite nobody else being in the room.

"I don’t even know her. This is entrapment. Cosmic-level entrapment."

Still freaking out, Shen Tian cautiously stepped closer to the bed.

Then he saw her face clearly.

And froze.

"...Wait."

His eyes widened.

The cold, beautiful appearance.

The elegant features.

That arrogant, icy look that screamed: "Lower your voice. Your existence is already irritating enough!"

A horrible sense of familiarity slammed into him.

"No way..."

Shen Tian’s face slowly turned pale.

"She looks exactly like the first heroine from that garbage webnovel..."

Before he could finish.

A cold, mechanical voice suddenly echoed in his head.

[Binding complete.]

[Villain Role System activated.]

Shen Tian froze.

"...Huh?"

[Host has successfully transmigrated into the webnovel: My Master Forced Me Down the Mountain to Pick Up Wives.]

Silence filled the room.

Then...

"...WHAT?"

Shen Tian nearly jumped into the ceiling.

"No no no no—absolutely not! I dropped that novel after 4000 Chapters because the protagonist had room-temperature IQ!"

[Warning.]

[Host currently possesses the identity of: Young Master Shen Tian.]

[Role: Early-stage villain.]

[Story fate: Crippled by the protagonist, publicly humiliated, exterminated alongside entire family.]

Shen Tian went silent.

His soul almost left his body.

Slowly, he turned toward the mirror nearby.

Blonde hair.

Light green eyes.

Sharp facial features so absurdly handsome that it could only have been done by God (Author) himself.

Tall, broad shoulders, muscular in all the right places - the kind of body that could make countless women willingly throw themselves at him.

Shen Tian stared at the reflection for several seconds.

"Damn, this body really is handsome... Make’s me wanna punch myself!"

Unfortunately, the original owner’s personality completely ruined the package.

The same idiot who tried to force himself onto the first heroine.

Only to get crippled by the protagonist shortly afterward.

And instead of quietly disappearing from the story like a normal character?

The original Shen Tian immediately started screaming about revenge.

He mobilized the Shen Family’s power again and again, using money, military, business suppression, connections, and even underground forces trying to crush the protagonist...

Only for everything he sent to get destroyed.

Again.

And again.

And again.

Until eventually the entire Shen Family collapsed alongside him.

Then Shen Tian remembered one final detail about the original owner.

"...Oh right."

This guy was also a legendary dog licker.

The type to spend millions on a woman only to be left on read...

A true grandmaster of simping.

Shen Tian’s face immediately twisted in disgust.

"...Yeah, I refuse."

Shen Tian immediately shook his head.

"Send me back. I do not have the mental capacity to deal with this bullshit. I’d rather sit behind a screen reading about this mess than actually live through it." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

[Impossible.]

[The system has already established a permanent connection with the host.]

"Well, disconnect it!"

[Request denied.]

"You can’t seriously expect me to stay here and get face-slapped by some overpowered protagonist with plot armor and negative IQ!"

Shen Tian pointed at himself angrily.

"I’m supposed to what? Stand there while he humiliates me in public, steals the woman I like, destroys my family, and then everyone claps because he’s the protagonist?!"

[The host will receive extraordinary rewards after successfully completing the assigned villain role.]

[All rewards may be brought back to the host’s original world upon completion.]

Shen Tian opened his mouth.

Clearly preparing to reject the system again.

But before he could speak.

Knock. Knock.

The sudden sound nearly made him jump out of his skin.

In an instant, Shen Tian spun around and dropped into the worst fighting stance imaginable.

One leg bent awkwardly.

Both hands raised like a discount movie ninja.

His eyes narrowed dramatically.

"...!"

His mind raced wildly.

’Wait. Could that be the protagonist already?! No—impossible... He’d kick down the door...’

Before Shen Tian could think any further, the door slowly opened.

A large, fat man, who was sweating, walked in while carrying two cases.

"Young Master," he sounded like a pig, "I brought the camera and recording equipment you requested."

Shen Tian quickly got back into a regular pose, forcing a stiff smile onto his face as he remembered.

The very first Chapter that made him leave over thirty hate comments under the webnovel.

The scene where the original Shen Tian planned to record compromising photos and videos of the defenseless heroine...

Only for the protagonist to burst through the window, save the beauty, dispel the drugs in her body with his cultivation techniques, and then beat Shen Tian half to death before delivering some self-righteous speech.

’God, this webnovel was so fucking stupid.’

Shen Tian sighed.

"...Just set it up."

At this point, Shen Tian had no choice but to follow the plot.

The sooner he could complete his role and return to his original world, the better.

At least, that was what the system claimed.

Honestly?

Shen Tian didn’t fully trust it.

As an experienced novel reader, he knew systems could be absolute scam artists.

Some treated hosts like slaves.

Some handed out impossible missions.

Some waited until the host got emotionally attached before dropping a "the real reward was friendship" ending.

Absolute terrorism.

Still...

If the system was telling the truth.

If he could really return to his world with supernatural rewards.

Then maybe suffering through this nonsense would actually be worth it.

’...Please don’t screw me over,’ Shen Tian muttered internally.

[The system values long-term cooperation with the host.]
