Chapter 5: Lin Ming’s Deception Exposed, the Female Lead Disappointed

A new day arrived.

During morning reading, most of the students in Class 3, Grade 12, were already present, diligently working on test papers or reciting texts.

However, two people were exceptions: Lin Ming and his chubby friend sitting behind him.

The chubby friend’s family owned a factory, and he knew he had no hope academically, so he had started slacking off.

He knew about Lin Ming’s family situation and didn’t want to disturb his studies. But every time, it was Lin Ming who actively sought him out to chat. And since Lin Ming’s grades had recently improved significantly, the chubby friend stopped worrying.

Lin Ming ignored the annoyed expressions of his deskmate and the chubby friend’s deskmate and continued chatting with his friend.

Except for Xia Xinyan, he didn’t care about the feelings of other classmates.

Suddenly, the sound of a teacher entering the classroom echoed.

Lin Ming looked back and saw Liu Yunshuang, the English teacher. He quickly turned around, sat up straight, picked up his English book, and began to recite vocabulary.

However, he was still sneaking glances at Liu Yunshuang from the corner of his eye.

Looking at Liu Yunshuang’s well-fitting teacher’s attire, which accentuated her curvy figure, Lin Ming couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild.

Although he boasted to his friend with endless dirty jokes, speaking as if he were an expert, he hadn’t actually experienced any of it.

In the past, he didn’t have the courage to approach girls, but now, he looked down on ordinary girls.

Even though he had a good relationship with Tiger Lord now, he hadn’t visited any of the clubs under Tiger Lord’s name. He now felt that only women like Xia Xinyan or Liu Yunshuang were worthy of him.

Lin Ming fantasized about scenarios where both of them served him together.

As for Liu Yunshuang’s fiancé, he didn’t take him seriously at all, considering him just a brainless rich kid.

Lin Ming had his own confidence and assurance—his Perspective Eye and a powerful inheritance.

Lin Ming’s eyesight was actually a bit nearsighted, but one day, he suddenly picked up a magical pair of glasses. Curiously, he put them on, and with a “shua” sound, they merged with his eyes.

Then, Lin Ming suddenly realized his nearsightedness was gone, and he had gained a special ability—X-ray vision.

Before he could fully digest this surprise, another pie fell from the sky and hit him!

The old man he had casually saved from some thugs turned out to be the legendary King of Killers!

The old man said that Lin Ming had extraordinary bones and excellent comprehension, so he decided to take him as his disciple and gave him a secret cultivation technique.

Soon, he would become the true King of Killers.

Therefore, even the richest man in S City was nothing in his eyes, just a blade of grass.

Just as Lin Ming was fantasizing about his future good life, he saw Liu Yunshuang walking towards his desk.

Liu Yunshuang’s expression was cold, and upon closer inspection, there were dark circles under her eyes that she couldn’t conceal.

“Lin Ming, come out for a moment!”

Without waiting for Lin Ming’s reply, Liu Yunshuang had already walked out to the corridor.

Lin Ming felt strange but obediently followed.

Out in the corridor, Liu Yunshuang directly handed him a piece of paper.

Lin Ming raised his left hand but found it difficult to move. He smiled sheepishly and took the paper with his right hand instead.

On it were a few English sentences.

“Lin Ming, translate these sentences!”

“…” Seeing these “gibberish” symbols, Lin Ming’s head swelled. He couldn’t understand the meaning at all and could only stammer, “Um… Teacher Liu… some of the words are too complicated… I haven’t memorized them yet…”

Seeing Lin Ming like this, the coldness in Liu Yunshuang’s eyes intensified.

There were indeed a few difficult words in the sentences, but these words had appeared multiple times in recent exams.

How could a “good student who loves learning,” with decent grades and who constantly asked her questions, not have mastered them?

Thinking of this, Liu Yunshuang suddenly reached for Lin Ming’s left hand.

Now she could verify the truth.

If those thugs really knew Lin Ming, they wouldn’t have actually broken his hand. After all, such an injury would take a long time to heal and could leave lasting effects.

If Lin Ming was fine, it meant the information Wang Haoran provided was true.

If Lin Ming’s hand was truly broken, she could just take him to the hospital and give him a few hundred thousand.

Liu Yunshuang just wanted to know the truth.

Caught off guard, Lin Ming tried to dodge, but his hand was firmly held. By the time he reacted, the splint on his hand had been forcefully removed.

“Teacher Liu, you…”

Lin Ming just started to say something when he saw the murderous look in Liu Yunshuang’s eyes.

Apart from a scratch less than three centimeters long, there were no signs of injury.

Even if Liu Yunshuang wasn’t a doctor, she could tell from Lin Ming’s forceful struggle and lack of pain that his hand was fine!

“Hehe…”

Lin Ming never imagined that Liu Yunshuang would directly check his hand. The bandage was just for show. He couldn’t help but feel guilty and started to explain in a low voice, “Teacher Liu, my hand is fine, but I couldn’t persuade my mom…”

“Lin Ming, enough!”

Hearing Lin Ming shift the blame to his parents, Liu Yunshuang couldn’t help but shout angrily.

Liu Yunshuang felt that he was beyond redemption and gave up on trying to teach him.

“Lin Ming, you don’t need to come to me anymore. I can’t teach you.”

“You’re on your own!”

Watching Liu Yunshuang’s angry retreating figure, Lin Ming sighed.

“Sigh, there’s no need to be so angry, right?”

But inwardly, he didn’t think it was a big deal.

“Forget it, I’ll apologize after school. After all, she’s my woman, I have to coax her!”

Chapter 4: The Sixth Life Begins, Memories Return

The mother and daughter were startled. They watched as Liu Zhong, in a fit of rage, threw down the documents and went outside to calm down.

The two of them picked up the documents on the table and began to read.

The more Liu Yunshuang read, the paler her face became.

These documents contained information on Lin Ming, the contents of which were roughly as follows:

Lin Ming, from a poor family, with parents who were both laborers. Even though they worked hard to send Lin Ming to high school, he still didn’t strive to improve himself, spending his days hanging out with people outside of school and frequently getting into group fights.

Recently, Lin Ming’s grades suddenly improved. He claimed to have “seen the light” and even shaved his head to show his determination. However, many classmates suspected him of cheating, as some had seen him acting furtively and shaking his head during exams. Others had asked him questions from the test papers, and he couldn’t even write out the most basic trigonometric formulas.

However, Liu Yunshuang was unaware of all this and instead admired Lin Ming, who constantly asked her and Xia Xinyan for help with his studies.

Lin Ming pretended to be a good student on the surface, but secretly he knew the underworld boss, Dragon Lord. The delinquents near First High School all called him Brother Ming.

Seeing the photos of several delinquents, Liu Yunshuang’s face instantly turned white.

Weren’t these the same people who had harassed her before? At that time, it was thanks to Lin Ming’s appearance that they were driven away.

Lin Ming was also injured in the process, and Liu Yunshuang stood up Wang Haoran to take him to the hospital.

Moreover, these same delinquents had also harassed Xia Xinyan, but they were similarly driven away by Lin Ming.

“How could this be…”

Liu Yunshuang hurriedly turned to the next page, and sure enough!

The ones who broke Lin Ming’s hand a few days ago were also these same delinquents!

Not only that, but some of the delinquents referred to Liu Yunshuang and Xia Xinyan as “sister-in-law,” believing them to be Lin Ming’s women.

Seeing this, Liu Yunshuang’s expression turned extremely ugly, while Zhang Yijuan, beside her, continued to read the documents with a blank expression.

The documents clearly detailed how Liu Yunshuang had argued with Wang Haoran multiple times to defend Lin Ming, and how she had been late for appointments with Wang Haoran several times to help Lin Ming with his “homework.”

Most importantly, there was one instance where Wang Haoran went to the school to give Liu Yunshuang flowers, but was provoked by Lin Ming, who said things like “Teacher Liu is destined to be my woman.” Wang Haoran, unable to contain his anger, hit him.

But Liu Yunshuang, arriving at the scene, only saw Wang Haoran hitting Lin Ming. She felt extremely sorry for Lin Ming and even threw the flowers in Wang Haoran’s face.

After reading the documents, Zhang Yijuan abruptly stood up, her expression cold.

“Mom?”

“Don’t call me Mom! I don’t have such a shameless daughter like you!”

Zhang Yijuan glared at Liu Yunshuang and prepared to walk out of the living room to find Liu Zhong.

For a gentle and refined lady like her to blurt out such words showed how angry she was.

As she reached the door, she suddenly turned back, her face filled with disappointment.

“You are not allowed to steal the soup in the kitchen!”

…

Back at home, Wang Haoran was already enjoying a relaxing bath.

[Ding, the host used literary embellishment, selective quotation, and distortion of facts, causing Liu Zhong and Zhang Yijuan to deeply detest the male lead Lin Ming, and the female lead Liu Yunshuang to be completely disillusioned with Lin Ming. Male lead Lin Ming’s Protagonist Halo -100! Host Fate Points +100! Ability Points +10!]

Most of the content in the documents Wang Haoran gave to Liu Zhong was true, except for the last incident.

At that time, for some reason, the original owner, upon seeing Lin Ming’s goofy, grinning face, felt the urge to hit him.

Even though he had received years of education and knew that Liu Yunshuang could arrive at any moment, he just couldn’t help but lash out.

Apart from this incident, everything else was true. All Wang Haoran did was rearrange the order of events.

According to the original story, the order of events was as follows:

1. Liu Yunshuang is harassed, Lin Ming plays the hero and saves the beauty.

2. Xia Xinyan is harassed, Lin Ming plays the hero and saves the beauty.

3. Lin Ming meets the underworld boss, Tiger Lord, and they become unlikely friends.

4. Wang Haoran bribes Tiger Lord’s subordinates to cause trouble for Lin Ming.

5. Lin Ming defeats the thugs who were causing trouble.

6. The thugs reveal that they are Tiger Lord’s subordinates, but Lin Ming smirks and personally calls Tiger Lord. Hearing Tiger Lord address him as “little brother,” the thugs realize they’ve misjudged him and quickly beg for mercy, acknowledging Lin Ming as their boss.

All Wang Haoran did was move events 3 and 6 to the beginning.

He didn’t say that the events in the document were arranged in chronological order. If someone misunderstood, it wasn’t his fault, right?

Wang Haoran wasn’t afraid of the Liu family investigating, because the matter of hiring thugs, after going through several intermediaries, couldn’t be traced back to him.

And most importantly, the thugs who caused trouble were indeed the same group of people!

It was likely that the author of “Very Strong, Very Romantic” was too lazy to write new characters, so they recycled these thugs, having them appear multiple times.

The only people who could deny the authenticity of the document were these thugs. However, compared to the Liu family’s trust in Wang Haoran, who would believe the words of a few thugs?

Moreover, to elicit Liu Yunshuang’s sympathy, Lin Ming deliberately wrapped his slightly grazed left hand in layers of gauze and even put on a splint.

Liu Yunshuang’s sympathy was indeed aroused, but if it were to be exposed…

After breaking off the engagement, Wang Haoran specifically left behind this document so that the Liu family would cut ties with Lin Ming.

Wang Haoran only wanted to deal with Lin Ming. Liu Zhong and Zhang Yijuan were still quite good to him and had even called to say they would apologize sometime.

As for Liu Yunshuang, if she knew what was good for her, he would let her go. If she continued to associate with Lin Ming, then let them be a pair of doomed lovebirds.

Wang Haoran began to hum a tune.

…

Meanwhile, at the bottom of an unknown, deep mountain…

A figure was meditating and cultivating.

Dressed in white, her face cold and aloof, she was like the bright moon in the sky, attracting attention yet discouraging any sense of desecration.

The powerful aura around her indicated her extraordinary strength.

But suddenly, cold sweat beaded on her smooth forehead, and the aura around her began to fluctuate.

Suddenly, with a “pfft” sound, the woman spat out a mouthful of blood, her aura becoming listless.

She had failed to break through to the Grandmaster realm. Not only that, but due to the backlash, her current strength had also fallen back to the early stage of the Transformation realm.

However, she had no time to focus on her own strength now, because a torrent of memories was surging into her mind.

In the first life, she failed her breakthrough. Somehow, her enemies learned of this and discovered her location. She desperately escaped, but just when she thought she was safe, a man appeared and killed her without hesitation.

In the second life, she was again besieged by her enemies and escaped. This time, the man didn’t kill her but saved her instead, and even cared for her deeply, regardless of his own life. For the first time, her heart stirred. But one day, time suddenly reversed, and she lost these memories, just like before.

In the third life, the same events unfolded, but this time, they successfully came together, exchanging vows under the moonlit sky. But right after their wedding, time reversed again.

In the fourth life, the same development, the same newlywed bliss, but to her dissatisfaction, the man also brought other women into their relationship, causing her to sulk for several days. However, just as she was expecting her husband to coax her, time reversed.

In the fifth life, they didn’t get married. Although the man saved her, he was also very rough with her, using various methods to control her, demanding that she help him deal with someone named Lin Ming.

At first, she resisted desperately, but later, her body became increasingly disobedient. As long as the man spoke, she would unconsciously obey. Sometimes, even without orders, she would actively try to please him.

Experiencing her own subservient behavior, after a particularly embarrassing scene, everything returned to the present.

Under the impact of such a massive influx of memories, she fainted uncontrollably.

Before completely losing consciousness, she unconsciously cried out the man’s name.

“—Haoran.”

Chapter 3: Resolutely Breaking Off the Engagement, Showing No Mercy

Wang Haoran drove to the Liu family home. Having been informed, Liu Yunshuang’s parents were already waiting.

“Haoran, come in quickly!”

Liu Yunshuang’s father, Liu Zhong, with his square face and dignified appearance, now wore a broad smile, looking amiable.

Liu Yunshuang’s mother, Zhang Yijuan, was also very satisfied with this son-in-law, constantly showering him with warmth and concern. After all, he was wealthy, handsome, capable, devoted, and respectful to his elders. What parents wouldn’t want such a good match for their daughter?

But Liu Yunshuang just didn’t like him. She was very cold towards Wang Haoran and even threw tantrums over it, running off to live in the school dormitory. This forced Liu Zhong and his wife to lower themselves as elders, fearing that this good son-in-law wouldn’t be able to stand their daughter’s temper and would leave.

After entering the house and sitting down, Liu Zhong noticed that only Wang Haoran had come. He had already informed his daughter, and Haoran would definitely pick her up. Thinking of something, his expression turned unpleasant.

“Haoran, is Shuang’er being unreasonable again?”

Zhang Yijuan also chimed in, “Haoran, don’t mind her. Shuang’er is just spoiled by us. When she comes back, I’ll definitely give her a good talking to!”

“Uncle, Auntie, you’ve misunderstood.” Wang Haoran said meaningfully, “Maybe Yunshuang is tutoring one of her good students again and forgot the time!”

Although Wang Haoran and Liu Yunshuang had clashed several times over Lin Ming, they both tacitly avoided mentioning it to their elders. Therefore, Liu Zhong and Zhang Yijuan didn’t know about Lin Ming and naturally didn’t understand the implication of Wang Haoran’s words.

However, they would soon find out.

After the three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, Liu Yunshuang finally returned.

As soon as she entered, she glared at Wang Haoran, who was getting along well with her parents, then heavily threw her bag onto the sofa and sat next to Zhang Yijuan, fuming.

“My dear daughter, what’s wrong? Who upset you again?”

“Ask him!”

Seeing Liu Yunshuang pointing at Wang Haoran, Liu Zhong spoke to Zhang Yijuan first, “Wife, look, this is all because you spoiled her. She’s so grown up, yet still so impolite!”

“Dad!”

Hearing Liu Zhong’s scolding, Liu Yunshuang felt wronged. Whose side were they on anyway?!

Wang Haoran chuckled as he watched Liu Yunshuang, then took out the documents he had prepared and turned serious.

“Uncle, Auntie, I actually have something important to tell you this time.”

Seeing Wang Haoran’s demeanor, Liu Yunshuang panicked a little. If her parents knew that they had quarreled over a student, they would definitely force her to resign.

“Wang Haoran! We can resolve anything ourselves!”

Ignoring her, Wang Haoran continued, “I’ve decided to break off my engagement with Yunshuang.”

“…Haoran, what did you say?!”

Hearing these words, both Liu Zhong and Zhang Yijuan were shocked. The last time Wang Haoran visited, they were still discussing when the two would get married, his words full of love and anticipation. What had happened today?

“Haoran, did Shuang’er do something to wrong you? Tell us, we’ll help you get even!”

“Yes, yes!”

“Dad! Mom!” Hearing her parents, once again, immediately put the blame on her without a second thought, Liu Yunshuang couldn’t bear it anymore.

Usually, in front of her students, she was mature and calm, but in front of her parents and Wang Haoran, she couldn’t help but act out.

“I didn’t do anything to wrong him! It’s him, he’s always unreasonable!”

“Just because I helped a male student with his homework, he broke the boy’s hand! I even paid for the medical expenses!”

“He’s a senior in high school, his family is very poor, and he has the college entrance exam in a few months. He’s ruined the boy’s life!”

Liu Yunshuang became more and more aggrieved.

“After we get married, am I not even allowed to see my dad?!”

Hearing their daughter’s extremely aggrieved voice, the couple didn’t know who to believe. Their daughter was usually a bit willful, but she never lied.

But Wang Haoran didn’t seem like the kind of person who would do such a thing either. Liu Zhong had investigated Wang Corporation and knew that Wang Haoran was usually very kind to people and had never used his power to bully others.

“Um… Shuang’er, is there some misunderstanding between you and Haoran? Just tell us what happened!”

“Yes, Haoran, you too. It’s best to talk things out!”

“There’s no misunderstanding.” Wang Haoran’s expression remained calm.

“Although we only have a verbal engagement, I feel it’s better to explain the situation to Uncle and Auntie personally.”

“Since Yunshuang hates me so much, let’s officially break off the engagement.”

“Uncle, don’t worry, the cooperation between our two families will not be affected.”

“However, the specific development plan for the land in South City may need to be renegotiated.”

Wang Haoran finished speaking methodically. Seeing that Liu Zhong was about to persuade him again, he immediately handed the documents in his hand to Liu Zhong.

“Uncle, you’ll understand after reading this.”

“I’m determined to break off this engagement!”

Seeing Wang Haoran’s resolute manner, Liu Zhong swallowed his words and began to read the document.

Wang Haoran took the opportunity to stand up, preparing to leave the Liu family home.

“Hey, Haoran, don’t go yet, stay for dinner! Auntie is simmering your favorite soup in the kitchen!”

Wang Haoran politely declined Zhang Yijuan’s invitation.

“No thank you, Auntie. I have something to do at home, so I’ll go back first.”

Then he looked at Liu Yunshuang.

“From now on, we have nothing to do with each other.”

After speaking, he walked out of the Liu family home.

Liu Yunshuang, sitting on the sofa, watching Wang Haoran successfully break off the engagement and resolutely leave, for some reason, couldn’t feel happy. There was a sense of loss in her heart.

But after hearing his last two sentences, an unknown anger burned in her heart.

Something to do at home? There’s only you at home, you eat alone, what could you possibly have to do?!

Using such a lame excuse, did he really not want to stay at my house?

Fine, don’t stay then, who cares?!

Liu Yunshuang attributed her anger to the fact that she should have been the one to break off the engagement, but now it seemed like she was the one who had done something wrong.

Muttering a few more curses at Wang Haoran, Liu Yunshuang then looked curiously at the document in Liu Zhong’s hand.

Wang Haoran said it contained the reason for breaking off the engagement. What could it be?

Liu Yunshuang never thought it would be because of her.

Of course, she also felt that Wang Haoran wasn’t the kind of person who would spread rumors. So what could this thick stack of documents be about?

Wanting to ask, she saw Liu Zhong’s face darkening.

Liu Yunshuang couldn’t help but feel a little scared.

“Dad?”

Unexpectedly, Liu Yunshuang’s words were like lighting a fuse.

“Don’t call me Dad! I don’t have such a shameless daughter like you!”

Chapter 2: The Scheming Protagonist, Lin Ming, Appears

“System, show me my personal panel.”

Wang Haoran: Host of the “Villain Counterattack System”
Fate Points: 0
Ability Points: 0
Strength: 70
Constitution: 90
Mental Power: 200
Charm: 90
Skills: Appraisal (Can identify all things);

Items: None

“Hmm…truly unremarkable… But I’ve already killed the protagonist so many times, now with the system’s help, I’m not afraid of him!”

“This time, I’ll aim to kill Lin Ming before the third female lead appears, achieving the fastest possible clear!”

However, when Wang Haoran recalled the plot of Lin Ming defeating him in the original story, he still felt the urge to complain.

Wang Haoran didn’t understand why the rich villain in urban novels always dealt in real estate. Perhaps it was because it made the plot easier to progress.

After all, the protagonist could always find evidence of accidents on construction sites under the villain’s name, or of forced demolitions, and then use this to bring down the villain in one fell swoop.

In the novel’s plot, this was how Wang Haoran ended up in jail, and Liu Yunshuang took the opportunity to unilaterally announce the annulment of their engagement.

However, he later found a chance to escape from prison.

Unfortunately, the prison break wasn’t a benefit the author gave him, the big villain, but rather an arrangement to completely finish him off.

After breaking out of prison, Wang Haoran became angrier and angrier, so he secretly snuck into Liu Yunshuang’s dormitory, wanting to vent his anger.

The protagonist Lin Ming happened to come over to “comfort” Liu Yunshuang, who was “sad” about the broken engagement, and the two ran into each other.

The result was that Wang Haoran was no match for Lin Ming and was killed on the spot. He was a fugitive who had broken into someone’s residence, compounding his crimes.

So, not only was Lin Ming not guilty, he was even praised for his righteous bravery.

Moreover, this scheming male lead could clearly crush him, but he deliberately suffered a minor injury, which was then “accidentally” discovered by Liu Yunshuang, moving her so much that she immediately pulled the male lead into her room to apply medicine.

“Hmm… now that I’ve severed ties with Liu Yunshuang, the female lead… the next step is to remove the malignant tumor from the Wang Corporation…”

Wang Haoran, following his memory, fired the key personnel who would cause problems for the Wang Corporation in the future and replaced them with more reliable individuals.

Although these dismissed employees hadn’t caused any trouble yet, their hands weren’t entirely clean, and Wang Haoran easily found evidence against them.

Busy all afternoon, Wang Haoran drove to the entrance of S City’s First High School in the evening.

Since it was on the way from Wang Corporation to the Liu family home, he decided to stop by and see the male lead.

Some time had passed since school ended, and only a few scattered students were passing by the school gate.

Leaning against his Rolls-Royce, he ignored the amazed gazes of the surrounding students and waited quietly.

Not long after, he saw Liu Yunshuang walking over, accompanied by a cute, pure-looking girl and an ordinary-looking boy with a bandage on his left hand. The three of them were chatting and laughing.

The male and female leads of the early stages of the plot were all present.

Looking at the familiar face with short-cropped hair, tanned skin, and a strong build, Wang Haoran recognized him as the protagonist, Lin Ming.

After messing around for two and a half years, just as he was about to make his final sprint, he finally woke up, shaved his head to show his determination, and decided to work hard.

However, Lin Ming’s so-called “awakening” was simply cheating on exams using his “Perspective Eye,” and his so-called “hard work” was just using tutoring as an opportunity to get close to the class representative, Xia Xinyan, and his English teacher, Liu Yunshuang.

Otherwise, why didn’t he go to the math teacher with only a ring of hair left on his head to ask questions?

Although Lin Ming had ordinary looks and a roguish aura from fighting, and his smile reached his ears, he had such a good relationship with Xia Xinyan, the school beauty of First High School, and the beautiful teacher Liu Yunshuang that it made the male students passing by envious and jealous.

“System, show me his abilities!”

[Okay.]

Lin Ming: Protagonist of “Very Strong, Very Romantic”
Protagonist Halo: 1000
Strength: 120
Constitution: 100
Mental Power: 80
Trust: -10
Charm: 50 (Doubled for female leads, halved for various villains)
Golden Fingers: Low-Level Perspective Eye, King of Killers Inheritance (Progress: 27%)

According to the original work, Lin Ming’s Perspective Eye could not only see through things but also zoom in and out on distant scenes like a telescope, and it would be upgraded later.

However, even though Lin Ming was a bit of a womanizer, he never used his Perspective Eye to peek at the female leads. After all, the protagonist was not close to women, he just wanted to give all the girls a home by creating a harem!

Of course, it was also possible that the author felt that since the protagonist could eventually see everything with his own eyes, why bother doing something as creepy as “peeking”? So, they added such a setting to make the protagonist seem righteous.

Just as Wang Haoran was checking Lin Ming’s abilities, the approaching trio also noticed him.

Since Wang Haoran had often come to greet them before, the three weren’t surprised.

Xia Xinyan first glanced at him with disdain, then said goodbye to the other two and got into a car that had been waiting on the side of the road.

This little girl was still a student and couldn’t control her emotions.

Wang Haoran knew why she was like this.

The novel’s plot described how Xia Xinyan initially misunderstood that Lin Ming had gone to fight again and reported him to the class teacher, which resulted in Lin Ming being criticized.

After learning about this, Liu Yunshuang personally went to Xia Xinyan to clear up the misunderstanding. Xia Xinyan, knowing the truth, felt very guilty and worked even harder to help Lin Ming with his studies. At the same time, she was also very angry at Wang Haoran, the culprit.

When Lin Ming saw Wang Haoran, a strange look flashed in his eyes. Then he timidly said to Liu Yunshuang,

“Teacher Liu, I’ll be going then.”

Liu Yunshuang, who had a “I knew it” expression and was looking at Wang Haoran smugly, seemed to understand something upon hearing Lin Ming’s words and replied with a firm tone,

“Be careful on your way.”

“Lin Ming, don’t worry, I won’t let him hurt you again!”

Watching the two of them displaying their deep teacher-student affection, Wang Haoran’s mouth twitched uncontrollably.

How could Lin Ming, with his just-released-from-prison appearance, put on such a “I’m so scared, please comfort me” act?

Wang Haoran was about to throw up, and Liu Yunshuang actually fell for it?

After Lin Ming left, just as Liu Yunshuang was about to speak, Wang Haoran interrupted her.

“I came to remind you not to forget to go home tonight.”

“I’m afraid you’ll be helping your good student with his homework again, tutoring until you forget the time, just like before!”

“Okay, goodbye!”

After finishing, Wang Haoran slipped into his car and drove away.

Leaving Liu Yunshuang standing there in a daze.

Wang Haoran’s main purpose was to observe the protagonist Lin Ming. He wouldn’t have minded giving Liu Yunshuang a ride, but after seeing that scene, he decided against it.

Liu Yunshuang, left behind, gritted her teeth in anger after a moment of stupor.

She stomped her foot fiercely.

“Wang Haoran! You think your ‘playing hard to get’ will work?!”

“Don’t think I don’t know, you want to break off the engagement so you can complain to my dad and have him force me!”

“Fine, break it off then! I won’t give you, this bastard, another chance!”

-The Female Lead is Completely Useless, and You Say You’re the Villain?-

Chapter 1: My Fiancée Wants Me to Apologize to the Male Lead?

On the wilderness, the setting sun was blood-red. A man lay dying on the ground, blood streaming from his eyes. After being rammed by an SUV at full speed, he could no longer speak.

Soon, several people got out of the car and stood over him, looking down at his struggling form. The women’s faces were icy, but the only man among them wore a smile. He gently stroked the hair of one of the women, a breathtaking beauty with an otherworldly aura.

“Thanks to you, my sweet Luoluo~”

“Master~”

The woman smiled with delight.

Then, the man took out a pistol.

“Which one of you wants to finish him off?”

“Me!!!” Everyone spoke up at once.

“…Then Xiaoyan, you do it!”

“Yes, Master!” A cute, youthful girl responded happily. Although she had never killed anyone before, after receiving the gun, she immediately and unhesitatingly fired three shots at the man on the ground.

“Bang—Bang—Bang—”

“Xiaoyan, very efficient. I thought you would hesitate, considering your previous relationship.”

The girl acted coquettishly, as if seeking praise: “Master, Xiaoyan has no relationship with him!”

At this time, another woman spoke up timidly, yet bravely:

“Master, Shuang’er also wants to…”

The man glanced at her and nodded. “Then you do it!”

Having received permission, the woman happily took the weapon. “Mm!”

Then, “Bang—”

Following suit, the other women on the scene took turns with the pistol.

“He caused trouble for Master, he deserves to die!” Each person fired a shot.

After the life on the ground had completely ceased, the man looked up at the sky. Twilight was approaching; the sky should be darkening.

But he noticed that the current dimness was abnormal.

“This time, the restart is a bit slow…”

Muttering to himself, the man was about to turn back to the car, but his hand was suddenly grabbed.

“Luoluo?” “Master…”

For some reason, she suddenly felt a strong sense of unease.

“You…won’t abandon us, will you?”

She couldn’t help but ask, yearning for her master’s reassuring answer. Looking around, the others had the same anxious expressions.

“…”

“Let’s go, we should go home.”

He simply said this and then turned to get into the car.

Home.

But before they reached home, all light in the world vanished.

Everything fell into silence and darkness.

After a long time, a familiar voice slowly reached his ears—

“…Hello everyone, I’m Caizi, a personal trainee with two and a half days of practice. I like singing, dancing, rapping, and basketball. Miao Ze Ke~?”

As a basketball landed in his hand, the animal praise song that would dominate the future world of internet memes began to play.

Hearing the familiar music, Wang Haoran sighed and shifted his gaze from the phone screen to the door.

As expected—

“Wang Haoran, how can you still be sitting there?!”

“Immediately, right now, get over to the hospital and apologize to Lin Ming!”

Seeing this familiar figure and hearing this familiar scolding, Wang Haoran only raised his eyelids slightly and continued watching the Tieshankao tutorial video.

“Miss Liu, are you finished?”

“You… Wang Haoran! What do you mean?!”

Seeing Wang Haoran’s uncharacteristic indifference, Liu Yunshuang was stunned for a moment, then an unknown anger rose in her heart.

“Wang Haoran, can you please stop being so unreasonable?!”

“Lin Ming is just my student. Just because I helped him with his homework, you sent someone to beat him up so badly he’s in the hospital?”

“Even if I am your fiancée, you can’t do this! Don’t I even have this much freedom?!”

Hearing this barrage of questions, Wang Haoran remained calm, slowly sipping his tea. He waited for Liu Yunshuang’s voice to stop before slowly speaking.

“If you’re finished, please leave. Don’t act like a shrew, it makes the Liu family’s upbringing look bad.”

“—Shrew?!”

Hearing this word, Liu Yunshuang was completely furious. Wang Haoran, who usually tried to please her and was afraid of upsetting her even slightly, now dared to sarcastically call her uncultured and a shrew? Clearly, this whole thing was his fault!

“Wang Haoran! If you don’t apologize to Lin Ming today, we’re breaking off the engagement!”

“Fine, let’s break it off.”

“Hmph! Then why aren’t you hurrying to the hospital… Wait, what did you say?!”

Liu Yunshuang couldn’t believe it. In the past, whenever she mentioned breaking off the engagement, Wang Haoran would immediately apologize and desperately try to reconcile. How could he agree so readily now?

Although Liu Yunshuang was very resistant to this marriage, and she planned to officially break off the engagement when she had the ability to do so in the future, right now she was only threatening Wang Haoran; she didn’t actually intend to break up.

She subconsciously believed that Wang Haoran would never give her up.

“I said we’re breaking off the engagement. Alright, that’s settled. I have other things to do.”

“Miss Liu, please leave. I will go to the Liu family this evening to discuss the details of the break-up with your father.”

Wang Haoran ignored her and called his secretary to escort Liu Yunshuang out.

“Wang Haoran, you bastard!”

Liu Yunshuang ultimately couldn’t continue arguing and could only leave Wang Haoran’s office under the secretary’s guidance.

Wang Haoran watched them leave coldly, then rubbed his temples.

“This is… the sixth time, right…”

Every time, it started like this.

That’s right, Wang Haoran had transmigrated. He was brought by the “Villain Acting System” into a cliché urban novel called “Very Strong, Very Romantic” and became the brainless villain of the same name, constantly antagonizing the protagonist, Lin Ming.

In this novel, the villain Wang Haoran’s father had started from scratch in real estate, and after his father’s death, Wang Haoran inherited the business and became the richest man in S City at the young age of 25.

After taking over the Wang Corporation, Wang Haoran fell in love at first sight with Liu Yunshuang of the Liu family and began pursuing her relentlessly.

The Liu family, a century-old clan, had fallen on hard times in recent years and urgently needed a powerful ally.

One side had money but no power, the other had power but no money. The two hit it off and quickly arranged a marriage, intending to complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses.

However, Liu Yunshuang, as the person involved, was extremely resistant to this marriage. To avoid Wang Haoran, she even ran to a school in S City to become a teacher.

And the protagonist, Lin Ming, was a student in her class.

This is how Wang Haoran came into conflict with Lin Ming.

With his golden finger (cheat ability), Lin Ming continually showed off and slapped faces along the way, eventually destroying the Wang family and winning Liu Yunshuang’s favor, making her a member of his harem.

Transmigrated Wang Haoran naturally refused to accept this outcome. Obediently offering women and experience to the protagonist, and even offering his face to be slapped, what kind of masochist would do that?

Ignoring the system’s temptation of “Complete the plot to return to reality and receive rewards,” Wang Haoran used his foreknowledge and advantages to start manipulating the situation.

In order to eliminate the protagonist, he had gone through five cycles of reincarnation.

In the first life, Wang Haoran, having just transmigrated, used his foreknowledge of the plot to seize the protagonist’s opportunities in advance, kill all the female leads, and then concentrate all his power to eliminate the protagonist. After the protagonist died, the world restarted.

In the second life, Wang Haoran not only seized the protagonist’s opportunities but also preemptively snatched all the female leads, including Liu Yunshuang, either killing or capturing them. Unfortunately, after killing the protagonist, the world restarted again.

Then the third life…

The fourth life…

In the fifth life, bored, he tried to clear the game using unusual techniques.

So he educated the female leads on proper discipline…

Until now, the sixth life.

Every life started in this office.

The first few times, Wang Haoran was speechless seeing his fiancée questioning him for another man.

Although Liu Yunshuang only treated Lin Ming as a student, it wasn’t certain whether Lin Ming treated her as a teacher.

But now Wang Haoran was numb to it, finding it only amusing.

Focusing his mind, he began to communicate with the system in his head.

“Dog System, are you there?”

[…Yes.]

The system’s helpless voice sounded.

Was this necessary? Just because it had asked him to honestly follow the plot before? Was it necessary to hold a grudge for so long?

It had been called “Dog System” for five lifetimes!

“So, what’s the situation?”

[…Host, you’ve succeeded.]

The system’s voice carried a hint of disbelief.

[As expected, after five cycles of wear and tear, the Heavenly Dao has fallen into slumber.]

[This time, even if the protagonist dies, the world will not restart!]

“Whew—Finally…”

Wang Haoran breathed a sigh of relief.

“Dog System, you lost.”

[Understood…]

Wang Haoran had made a bet with the system in the first life, and the result was that Wang Haoran won.

The system had to make a decision that went against its own principles.

[Ding! System updating…]

[Ding! System update successful!]

[This system has been officially updated from “Villain Acting System” to “Villain Counterattack System”.]

[The “Villain Counterattack System” will help the host seize fate, counterattack the protagonist, and reach the peak of life!]

“Dog System, you’re finally useful!”

Wang Haoran was a little excited. This broken system had been slacking off for five lifetimes and was finally going to play its role.

If the system continued to be useless and just watch the show this time, he was thinking of using 306 (a powerful uninstaller) to get rid of it.

“Are there any newbie gifts or anything like that?”

[No!]

“Why?! I see other systems have them!”

[No means no. Because it’s a Dog System, there are none!]

“…”

“Whose dog? This must be slander!”

“But, as a good system, if you don’t give newbie gifts, and other systems find out, they’ll think you can’t afford to!”

[…Congratulations to the host for receiving the “Newbie Gift Pack”! Do you want to open it?]

“Yes!”

[Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving the skill “Appraisal”!]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving the skill “Seize”!]

[Ding, congratulations to the host for receiving the skill “Ability Block”]!
