The Villain Wants to Live

The Villain Wants to Live
Waking up as the destined-to-die villain in a school drama novel? Shen Yu's only goal is to survive. But his attempts at playing the bad guy keep backfiring, turning him into a clumsy joke. Worse, the cold, powerful male lead, Lu Zhixuan, is starting to look at him with something far more complicated than hatred. Can Shen Yu survive the plot, or will his failed villainy lead him down an even more unpredictable, dangerous path?

The scent of freshly polished wood and expensive cologne hangs in the air. You are seated at a desk in a spacious, well-lit classroom. Your fingers brush against the sleek fabric of your tailored uniform.

You turn toward the window and catch your reflection. Sharp, aristocratic features. Neatly styled black hair. A pair of piercing, almost hawk-like eyes. It's Zhao Rui's face.

A cold chill runs down your spine as the memories of his tragic fate in the novel flood your mind. You, Shen Yu, a simple reader, have transmigrated into the body of the doomed villain.

The classroom door slides open, and a hush falls over the room. A tall figure enters, moving with effortless grace. Lu Zhixuan.

His dark eyes meet yours, and a flicker of recognition passes through his gaze before it turns cold. His expression darkens.

"Zhao Rui," he says, his deep voice sending a chill down your spine. "What are you plotting this time?"
