"Qin Lang, don't go too far! You planted spies around me and even had people follow me—just how despicable can you be?!"
"Our engagement was arranged by our families, but now I, Mu Yuyan, can tell you with absolute certainty—I don't like you. Not even a little. In fact, I despise you!"
"So from now on, stop bothering me!"
Tianhai City, Mu Family International.
Inside the CEO's office, Mu Yuyan, dressed in a sharp black office suit, glared coldly at Qin Lang across from her. Her expression was full of anger and her words sharp, as she sternly warned him.
But Qin Lang, who was being scolded, acted as if he hadn't heard a thing.
He sat dazed on the sofa, processing the flood of information in his mind, the corner of his mouth twitching.
Had he… transmigrated?
And into a web novel he had read before?
The ridiculous part was that he wasn't some lucky protagonist surrounded by gorgeous women—no, he had taken over the body of a major villain who was constantly humiliated by the protagonist!
Qin Lang, direct grandson of the Qin Family of Yanjing, the sole heir to the family fortune.
His grandfather was a legendary figure, a true titan of his generation, with countless military achievements to his name.
His father held an extremely high-ranking government position—one stomp of his foot could shake the entire nation!
His mother was a business magnate, holding major shares in various state-owned enterprises.
Everyone in his social circle was either rich or powerful.
He was the ultimate second-generation tycoon.
The second-generation elite.
He had been dealt a god-tier hand from the very start. Yet, in the hands of the original Qin Lang, he had somehow played it to absolute ruin.
He had been a pathetic simp, desperately chasing after his fiancée, Mu Yuyan.
He had tried to eliminate the "shield" Mu Yuyan brought in to keep him at bay, placing spies around her and engaging in all sorts of underhanded tactics.
In the end, he had even pulled a knife on that so-called shield—who turned out to be none other than the protagonist, Ye Feng. This, of course, led to his downfall, and Ye Feng completely crushed him.
And his once glorious family?
They became nothing more than Ye Feng's stepping stone, helping him level up as he rose to the top!
Just thinking about it was depressing!
A simp for a moment, straight to the crematorium?
But that was the old Qin Lang's stupidity.
Now that he had taken over, everything would change!
"Ding! Host identity confirmed. Destiny Villain System binding in progress..."
As the cold mechanical voice echoed in his mind, Qin Lang—who had read over three thousand web novels—knew instantly.
His golden cheat had arrived.
The Destiny Villain System—as the name suggested, its sole purpose was to assist him in becoming the ultimate villain, crushing the Child of Destiny beneath his feet, growing stronger and stronger in the process.
By seizing the protagonist's opportunities, he could earn Villain Points, which could then be used to exchange for items, skills, or lucky draws to further enhance his own power.
After quickly familiarizing himself with the system's mechanics, Qin Lang was quite satisfied.
Compared to putting on a fake righteous act,
being a villain sounded much more fun!
As long as he was enjoying himself, that was all that mattered!
Mu Yuyan stared at Qin Lang, who occasionally let out small smiles, her entire body trembling with anger.
If not for her bodyguards discovering it, she wouldn't have even known that her office had been bugged—her private life had been completely monitored by Qin Lang!
And this bastard actually had the audacity to sit there smiling?!
"Qin Lang, you still dare to laugh?! I'm calling off the engagement—I want to break off our marriage!"
Qin Lang, who had now fully grasped the system's capabilities, slowly lifted his head and responded indifferently,
"Alright."
"???"
What the hell?!
Mu Yuyan was stunned—Qin Lang agreed?!
Just moments ago, this guy was still shamelessly clinging to her, going as far as installing listening devices to monitor her every move. His obsession was downright insane.
Could it really be that the sun was rising from the west today? Was she finally about to break free from this nightmare of an engagement?
Qin Lang crossed his legs, lounging lazily on the sofa. Picking up a cup of tea, he took a casual sip and said, "Go ahead and annul the engagement. I have no objections. Just make sure to get the Mu family to bring it up first."
"You—!" Mu Yuyan frowned, her voice turning colder. "You're being unreasonable!"
Qin Lang chuckled. "Me? Unreasonable? Why not talk about your Mu family's greed first? And you, Mu Yuyan—don't think too highly of yourself. You think I don't deserve you?"
"If it weren't for my Qin family, your Mu family would have been wiped out ten years ago!"
Back then, Mu Yuyan's father and Qin Lang's father were close friends. But due to an accident, Mu Yuyan's father tragically passed away, throwing the Mu family into complete turmoil. Countless ruthless opportunists smelled blood and swarmed in like vultures.
It was Qin Lang's father who single-handedly stabilized the entire Mu family!
Out of gratitude, Mu Yuyan's mother personally proposed this engagement to secure the Mu family's future.
In other words, this engagement was something the Mu family had begged for!
Thinking about this, Qin Lang couldn't help but ridicule the original host.
That idiot… He had been holding a royal flush but played the game like a clueless simp!
Did he really not understand?
To a woman, a simp isn't even as valuable as a backup plan!
"There's another option for you," Qin Lang said, a smirk tugging at his lips. "We can pretend to stay engaged for now, but only temporarily. Who knows? Maybe one day, if I feel like it, I'll just dump you myself."
A heroine with protagonist-tier luck, huh?
Her fortune was no joke. Why would he let such a prime target go before draining her dry?
Mu Yuyan clenched her jaw, her silver teeth grinding together. "No way! And if you go too far, what am I supposed to do?!"
Qin Lang shook his head. "Wow, your mind really is dirty. Don't overthink it. We're just pretending to be a couple in public, that's all."
"But if you really can't accept it, then go back to your Mu family and have them call off the engagement. Just don't blame me if things… don't go well after that."
Did she think she could freeload off the Qin family without any consequences?
What a joke! Since when did the world hand out free lunches?
Mu Yuyan's frown deepened as she fell into deep internal conflict.
She knew exactly what would happen if the Mu family was the one to call off the engagement.
If Qin Lang initiated the breakup, the Mu family would lose some face, but they couldn't do anything to the Qin family.
But if Mu Yuyan was the one to break it off? That was an entirely different story.
Qin Lang was the direct grandson of the Qin family, their sole heir.
Breaking off the engagement like this would be a direct slap to the Qin family's face!
Forget about receiving the Qin family's protection—they would be lucky just to avoid being crushed!
Even though she despised the thought of staying engaged to Qin Lang, she knew that refusing his terms now would mean she had no way out in the future.
"Fine! I agree!" Mu Yuyan took a deep breath, her sharp, beautiful eyes flashing with determination. "But you have to keep your promise and annul the engagement in the end!"
"Ding! The storyline has changed. Congratulations, Host! Villain Fortune Points +1000!"
Qin Lang didn't reply. Instead, he stood up and grabbed Mu Yuyan's delicate hand, pulling her along as he walked out.
Mu Yuyan instinctively struggled, but Qin Lang interrupted her.
"What, you don't want me to annul the engagement anymore? A couple can't even hold hands?"
Forget it! Just think of it as being touched by a dog!
Mu Yuyan gritted her teeth, seething inside.
"Ding! Female lead Mu Yuyan has experienced emotional turmoil. Congratulations, Host! Villain Fortune Points +300!"
Qin Lang paid no mind to whatever wild thoughts were going through her head. Instead, he boldly let his gaze roam over her curvaceous figure, his eyes filled with undisguised mischief.
With a sly grin, he teased, "A word of advice—especially for beautiful women like you. Don't wear such tight clothes. Your body's too nice, you might attract some unwanted attention."
His grin widened.
"Last night alone, I had to stalk off two creeps."
