I, the Villain - Vol. 1

Chapter 1
“To force me into an engagement, you really are pulling out all the stops!”
A voice filled with gritted teeth rang in his ears. Lucas Grey opened his eyes in a daze and looked at the stunning woman before him, her expression cold and aloof.
This ... is a hospital ward?
The person in the mirror is him?
At that moment, a surge of memories not belonging to him flooded his mind.
Lucas Grey, the good-for-nothing young master of the Grey family, sole heir of the third generation, was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Whatever he wanted, he got.
But he had fallen in love with the female lead, Rose White.
After three years of tireless pursuit and receiving no response, he resorted to a foolish move. During a banquet at the White family, he deliberately fell from an upper floor.
He intended to fake an injury for sympathy.
Who would have thought, he ended up swapping places with another Lucas Grey with the same name.
[So, this stunning beauty in front of me is Rose White, the female lead of the popular novel “Return of the Godly Tycoon”?]
[Have I transmigrated into the book?]
[Fuck you, just because I complained once that the brainless simp villain in the book had the same name as me, now I’ve become the simp myself?]
After understanding the situation, Lucas Grey nearly coughed up blood.
Other people transmigrate and become the protagonist, rising to the peak of life. Why does he have to be the villain?
Just thinking about the plot where “Lucas Grey” gets brutally crushed by the crooked-mouthed Dragon King made Lucas Grey want to cry.
No, he had to stay far away from the female lead, far away from the crooked-mouthed Dragon King.
[Ding. Congratulations, host. Supreme Villain System unlocked.]
[System scan complete. Host perfectly fits the villain profile in the novel “Return of the Godly Tycoon.” You are specially invited to play the villain, assist the male lead, and complete the god-tier plot reversal.]
[Once the plot reaches its finale, the host can return to the original world and receive a reward of ten billion Dollar.]
Hold on. As long as he follows the plot to the end, he gets ten billion Dollar?
Damn, if he takes that back to the real world, he could live a life of luxury, never lifting a finger again.
Alright.
This villain role is his. No one can take it from him.
Lucas Grey looked up at Rose White and saw that she was staring at him with eyes full of shock.
His heart skipped a beat.
[What kind of look is that? Don’t tell me she suspects something. Could she have figured out that I’m not the original Lucas Grey?]
Rose White took a sharp breath when she heard his thoughts.
From just now, she had been hearing a strange voice.
That voice said she was the female lead of a novel, and something about transmigration.
That was already bizarre enough. But now, this guy said he’s not the original Lucas Grey?
What kind of joke is this?
“Lucas Grey, are you talking with ventriloquism? Or did you fall and hit your head when you fell from upstairs?”
Lucas Grey was stunned when he heard that.
[You’re the one who hit your head. I just transmigrated and haven’t adapted to this villain identity yet.]
[The most urgent task is to get Rose White to agree to the engagement. That way, the male lead can make a grand entrance at the engagement banquet, slap faces, and take Rose White away.]
[But verbal coercion isn’t enough. According to the novel, Rose White resisted in every possible way until she was swindled by the CEO of KY Group, leaving her with nothing. Her family nearly went bankrupt, and only then did she reluctantly agree to the engagement.]
[So, I need to pretend to be deeply in love and reinforce my simp persona. Once the White family goes bankrupt, I’ll add fuel to the fire and threaten her.]
Rose White’s beautiful eyes narrowed. She looked at Lucas Grey in disbelief.
This wasn’t ventriloquism.
It sounded like his inner voice.
But why could she hear his inner voice?
No, that wasn’t the point. The point was, he said the CEO of KY Group tricked her and nearly bankrupted the White family?
Impossible.
