NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1
Chapter 1:
Lin Liang sat on a luxurious memory foam bed, taking one last moment to confirm the memories swirling in his mind. A fresh set of memories had just appeared in his head.
Playboy Young Master, the Four Great Families of Jiang City, Jiang City University, the campus belle Li Ruo…
The last scene in this newly gained memory was “Confession Rejected, Getting Drunk in a Bar, Sudden Death in the Middle of the Night.”
What a truly unlucky soul.
Lin Yue watched this first-person narrative of the pathetic life of the boot-licking young master, covering his face silently.
“Damn… I really did transmigrate.”
“And I’ve landed in this brainless world.”
Glancing around the lavishly decorated room, with single pieces of furniture worth enough to buy a house, he thought that an average person transmigrating here would probably jump for joy, completely overwhelmed.
After all, the owner of this body was the eldest young master of the Lin family, one of Jiang City’s Four Great Families in this world. He was also the Lin family’s sole heir.
With billions in assets and doting parents, his entire life as the Lin family’s young master consisted of partying, fooling around, and spending extravagantly.
Yet Lin Liang felt no joy.
Because this world, after carefully going over every detail, was without a doubt… the world of a dumb harem power fantasy novel.
And the young master of the Lin family? Just from his character setup alone… it was obvious he was a classic villain.
It just so happened that Lin Liang had read this novel in his past life!
“The King of Lethal Charm in the City: Chronicles of a Lustful Playboy.”
Even from the title, you could feel the overwhelming aura of stupidity!
The plot was brainless, the settings were brainless, the protagonist was brainless, and each female lead had both ample chests and empty minds. The villains were the epitome of idiocy.
And among all the idiotic villains… the most foolish of them all… was Lin Liang!
As the young master of the Lin family, he actually played the role of a devoted simp for the heroine, Li Ruo!
True, Li Ruo was the campus belle of Jiang City University, with a seductive figure and an innocent, pristine face… Her aloof and distant demeanor made her the ultimate “cool beauty.”
At first glance, she could definitely be called the epitome of pure desire!
But, Li Ruo had never once shown Lin Liang a kind face… For some reason, this young master had latched onto her!
And because of that, nine out of ten times the protagonist flaunted his superiority, he was humiliating Lin Liang.
To show off in front of Li Ruo, he’d wager on car races and end up handing the protagonist a luxury car. He’d report parties to the authorities and forcefully confess to Li Ruo, only to be rescued by the protagonist.
Frustrated and driven to rage, he eventually hired assassins to kill the protagonist, unknowingly gifting the protagonist a chance to level up.
In short, “Lin Liang” contributed to the protagonist’s gains even more than the protagonist’s master and friends.
Just thinking about playing such an idiotic role in this brain-dead world filled Lin Liang with dread.
After recalling the novel’s timeline, he realized that the plot had just started. Yesterday, he had publicly confessed to Li Ruo and been flatly rejected.
Even with billions waiting for him to squander, he couldn’t bear to stay in this place for another second!
“Screw this! I want to go home!”
Perhaps his longing to return home was too intense…
[Ding! Detecting the host’s strong emotional fluctuation! System activation complete!]
At this moment, he awakened a system!
“A system? Oh, yes, yes… System, can you take me home?”
A spark of hope flared in Lin Liang’s heart.
[Once you complete all of Lin Liang’s plot arcs in the original novel, you’ll automatically return to your original world and resume your life!]
[Please, seriously fulfill the role of the villain “Lin Liang” until your exit!]
“What? I have to wait until my plot is over?”
“And I have to calmly play the villain all the while?”
Lin Liang was stunned.
But as if to comfort him, the system immediately continued.
[To compensate the host, this system offers a video editing feature!]
[You can edit videos of everything in this world!]
[The system will randomly select viewers from across the multiverse!]
[As long as viewers experience emotional reactions from watching your videos, you’ll earn rewards!]
[Even when you return to your original world, these rewards won’t disappear!]
Hearing the system’s voice, Lin Liang felt a slight sense of relief.
“Editing? Multiverse viewers?”
“I can only edit content from this world?”
“What’s even worth watching here? It’s a ridiculous world…”
“The novel was already cringe-worthy; turning it into videos will only make it worse…”
“Wait a second!”
An idea suddenly struck Lin Liang.
Brainless doesn’t mean it won’t attract viewers!
He remembered a type of video that had been very popular in his previous life: satirical commentary videos on terrible movies, trashy games, and low-rated anime! Using sharp sarcasm and humor to entertain viewers!
Couldn’t he create that sort of content here?
He could directly mock all the nonsensical aspects of this brainless world!
He’d critique the protagonist and female leads’ idiocy, roast the absurd and laughable plot twists and coincidences…
It would be incredibly effective!
And it would also help him stomach the stupidity of these characters.
After all, once you vent your frustration, they’re not quite so irritating anymore.
It would help him play the role of the “villainous young master” to perfection.
It would be killing three birds with one stone!
Without delay, Lin Liang prepared his first video.
Well… even though the main plot hadn’t started, he already had a great idea.
He’d make a video introducing this world, the protagonist, and his own predicament!
With that thought, Lin Liang opened the system’s built-in recording feature.
On the camera, a handsome, dashing face appeared—more attractive than the typical celebrity heartthrob.
“Well, not too different from my face before I transmigrated.”
He smiled, ruffled his hair, cleared his throat, and began recording.
“Ahem—a big hello to all my viewers!”
“I am… a transmigrator!”
Meanwhile…
In a small apartment near Jiang City University…
[Ding! Congratulations, you’ve been selected to watch a preview video from “Lin Liang!”]
The screen displayed a white interface, and Li Ruo, a girl with an innocent face touched with a hint of allure, stared at the solitary video on the screen in confusion.
[Shocking! I’ve Transmigrated into a Dumb Power Fantasy as the Villainous Young Master!]
