Villain Simulator: Death Was Just the Tutorial

Lu Qian wakes up in the body of a notorious playboy — the second son of the powerful Lu family, a man everyone in the Great Xia Empire knows to either fear or loathe. But something’s off. A familiar scene unfolds: a drunk, unconscious beauty — Liu Ruyue — lies alone, helpless on a deserted street. She's the cold, untouchable school idol and daughter of the prestigious Liu family. And her ever-present protector — the so-called protagonist blessed by fate — is nowhere in sight. Just as Lu Qian pieces things together, a cold mechanical voice echoes in his mind: [Villain Simulator Activated] Simulate the rise and fall of a true villain. Use villain points. Rewrite fate. Rule the game. Three chances. One life. No rules. As the simulation begins, Lu Qian must walk the tightrope between power and annihilation in a world where martial prowess determines everything — where saints can level cities, and the wrong move gets your bones dug out and your soul erased. He doesn’t care for heroism. He won’t beg for mercy. If fate made him a stepping stone, he’ll flip the script. If the so-called “chosen ones” want to play heroes — he’ll show them what a real villain looks like.
