NOVEL SIMPLE Chapter 1 – Break Engagement, right? Hurry up
Suzhou and Hangzhou, Tang Family.
Today was the birthday banquet of the Tang Family's old master, and the entire elite of Suzhou and Hangzhou had gathered.
A handsome young man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes suddenly shivered and blurted out, "Damn it."
After quickly adapting to the memories in his mind, Tang Yu felt a bit overwhelmed.
He was an avid fan of online literature, having read at least eight hundred urban feel-good novels if not a thousand.
Recently, he had unexpectedly acquired a Villain System.
This shitty system sent him into feel-good novels to play the villain. Surviving through major plot points would earn him rewards.
If he made it to the grand finale, he could return to his original world with all the rewards and wealth!
But damn it, every time it started at a hellish difficulty level.
For example, in the eighth book he transmigrated into, he was a security guard blocking the protagonist from entering a company.
Everyone knew that security guards and bodyguards were high-risk professions in urban feel-good novels.
His fate was to be punched by the male lead Long Shuai, crashing through glass and dying on the spot.
The previous round was even more ridiculous; the protagonist of that book was Heavenly Lord Beixuan!
A once-in-a-generation Heavenly Lord who failed his tribulation crossing and was reborn in the city to cultivate, capable of single-handedly resisting missiles!
As a villain, he didn't even get a chance to speak before being slapped to death.
The saying "A master leads you to the door, but you get shot at the entrance" perfectly described this shitty system.
"System, what damn book is this?"
Tang Yu shouted in his mind.
"This is 'War God Dragon King Roams Flower City,' currently at chapter fifty-seven," the system's cold voice replied.
With the system's prompt, Tang Yu quickly recalled the plot of this book.
***
It was another common feel-good novel. The protagonist was named Ye Chen.
He was from a prominent family in Yanjing, but his family was annihilated when he was five.
An old man took him abroad and trained him to become the top assassin!
He also founded the world's number one mercenary organization, Dragon Soul, earning the nickname Dragon King!
Besides that, his medical skills were top-notch, and he excelled at everything from gambling to appraising treasures.
This time, he returned to China under a pseudonym to investigate the massacre of his family.
Along the way, he planned to woo dozens of beauties and build a harem, ultimately reaching the pinnacle of life.
Tang Yu's identity was the eldest young master of the Tang Family, the leading family in Suzhou and Hangzhou, with assets exceeding trillions!
Transmigrating into such a character should have been a thrilling experience.
But no matter how noble the villain's status, he was just a stepping stone for the protagonist.
"Chapter fifty-seven's plot... Damn, I'm going to die again?"
Recalling the plot, Tang Yu's face turned pale.
According to the story, today was his grandfather's birthday banquet.
At this banquet, he was supposed to get engaged to the first female lead, Su Muyue.
The Su Family was also one of the four major families in Suzhou and Hangzhou, though ranked last.
Tang Yu was Su Muyue's simp, using all sorts of family resources to help her, pursuing her for three years without even getting a glance from her!
The Tang Family elders, unable to bear it any longer, decided to arrange a marriage between the two families.
When Ye Chen, the Dragon King, found out, he stormed the birthday banquet and took Su Muyue away.
Tang Yu, the simp, was kicked into a vegetative state by Ye Chen and soon died.
***
"This is toxic."
Recalling the plot, Tang Yu couldn't help but curse inwardly.
This villain setup was idiotic.
A Yale University graduate, handsome and worth trillions, would simp for a woman who constantly gave him the cold shoulder for three years?
If it were a rich handsome guy worth millions, he'd be driving a Cadillac to a club to enjoy himself.
"No, I need to think of a way."
Tang Yu scanned the hall. Today was his grandfather's birthday banquet, and many guests had arrived.
Soon, his gaze locked onto a young man.
That man was Ye Chen, sitting quietly in a corner with a glass of red wine.
His current identity was Su Muyue's bodyguard.
A bodyguard—everyone knew the pattern.
"Fine, I won't get engaged."
Just as Tang Yu muttered to himself, a beautiful girl in a blue dress walked over.
The girl had an extraordinary temperament and stunning looks, but her eyes were cold as a knife.
She looked at Tang Yu with a hint of disgust. She was the first female lead, Su Muyue.
Standing before Tang Yu, Su Muyue said calmly, "Young Master Tang, please stop bothering me. Let's call off the engagement; I won't agree to it."
Tang Yu had already sorted out his thoughts. Hearing this, he was more than happy and nodded.
"I agree."
Perhaps because Tang Yu agreed too readily, Su Muyue was momentarily stunned.
She widened her eyes at Tang Yu, hardly believing her ears. Did she hear wrong?
Meanwhile, a voice filled with sarcasm echoed in her ears.
[No engagement! I thank your ancestors for eighteen generations. Your great lack of virtue, I'll repay it in the next life. Hurry and elope with your Ye Chen. Hilarious, he needs you for his harem.]
Hearing this voice, she frowned and looked around.
Who was talking?
The voice sounded just like Tang Yu's.
But he hadn't opened his mouth. Was she hearing things?
"What? Didn't you want to call off the engagement? Let's go and tell the elders."
Tang Yu smiled calmly and urged.
As long as the engagement was called off, Ye Chen would have no reason to trouble him, right?
As a villain, the best he could do was avoid provoking Fortune's Chosen, then live happily as a rich handsome guy until the story's end.
Sweet!
"Alright."
Su Muyue nodded and agreed, following Tang Yu to talk to the elders.
Walking ahead, Tang Yu maintained a calm expression, but inside, he was overjoyed.
[Finally, breaking ties with this foolish woman. Now Ye Chen won't have a reason to bother me. I must survive until the novel's end. It's a pity though. The top beauty of Suzhou and Hangzhou, becoming part of Ye Chen's harem and dragging the Su Family to ruin. Truly a brainless feel-good novel.]
As the sarcastic voice echoed again.
Su Muyue was certain it was Tang Yu's voice.
Because they were the only two people in the corridor!
Known as the top beauty of Suzhou and Hangzhou, she relied not only on her looks but also on her exceptional intelligence and talent!
Quickly understanding everything, a hint of gloom flashed across her face.
Ye Chen?
He was the bodyguard she had hired recently.
She had been harassed by some thugs, and Ye Chen had saved her.
Seeing his skills, she kept him as a bodyguard to repay him.
Since becoming her bodyguard, Ye Chen had helped her with many things, and they had become good friends.
But what was this about a harem? She, a proud daughter of heaven, becoming part of a bodyguard's harem and dragging her family down?
In that instant, she felt a strong aversion to Ye Chen.
She, a proud daughter of heaven, how could she become part of a bodyguard's harem?
