Chapter 1 - Arrogant fiance

"Shen Wuxiao, we're only engaged, not married yet. What right do you have to make decisions on your own?"

"If my parents and siblings hadn't come here, I wouldn't have known that today was actually supposed to be our wedding!"

"Get out there and explain yourself right now. Explain to the guests you invited, or you'll suffer the consequences!"

"Boom!"

A loud slamming sound echoed as the door closed. Shen Wuxiao glanced at the tightly shut door and furrowed his brow.

The woman who had just pointed at him and scolded him was none other than his fiancée, Liu Qingqing!

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, Shen Wuxiao was still processing the memories in his mind.

"This... is a world from a martial arts novel... did I swap places with Shen Wuxiao, the villain in the novel?"

Shen Wuxiao found all of this incredibly hard to believe.

It wasn't a soul swap; rather, it was an exchange between two people from different worlds who looked identical and shared the same cruel personality.

The original Shen Wuxiao from this world went to his original world and was hit by a car, replacing him.

A flood of other memories surged into his mind.

Shen Wuxiao covered his forehead and gritted his teeth.

"Young Master Shen, please, please get off my wife!"

"Young Master Shen, you hit my father, so you can't hit me!"

"..."

He seemed to fall into a void, and from that void came various words, all about the outrageous things this identity had done years ago.

These things seemed like minor issues to Shen Wuxiao.

He began to recall all the information about his identity.

I am a connoisseur, an aficionado, and a professional practitioner of beauty!

His appearance was impeccable; he possessed refined qualities, clear and bright eyes, an elegant posture, and unmatched beauty!

And his background was extraordinarily powerful!

My father's combat strength was tremendous—he was invincible throughout the world.

My mother was the richest woman in the world, and she lived on the Lingkuang Oil Field.

He was content being a playboy.

However, everything changed after he met the female lead, Liu Qingqing.

A young man who liked to fool around transformed into a pure-hearted fighter, solely to protect the white moonlight in his heart.

Shen Wuxiao granted all of Liu Qingqing's requests, elevating the Liu family from a third-rate clan to a first-rate clan.

His efforts paid off when Liu Qingqing became engaged to him.

Unfortunately, the woman he thought was his ideal woman, his fiancée, was actually thinking of someone else.

That person was Lin Chen, the protagonist of this world.

The story begins with today's wedding banquet.

Liu Qingqing got engaged to Shen Wuxiao two years ago, but the two never had an intimate relationship.

Shen Wuxiao felt a bit anxious, so he took the initiative to arrange a wedding banquet and invited many people to attend.

So everything could be forcibly settled, without informing any family members, he hastily completed everything.

Liu Qingqing had Lin Chen in her heart, and her engagement to Shen Wuxiao was also for her family's prosperity.

Now that he suddenly wanted to get married, she naturally disagreed and, in her anger, launched the same scene where she threatened Shen Wuxiao to explain.

As expected, the male protagonist would return to the stage after he went on stage to speak, and then I would exit.

Shen Wuxiao furrowed his brow, a wave of tremendous anger rising in his heart.

"Damn it, what a coward!"

Shen Wuxiao cursed, but he was cursing the original Shen Wuxiao who held this identity.

With such a terrifying background, falling at a woman's feet was truly pathetic!

Then there was Liu Qingqing, so spoiled she became arrogant, truly believing that climbing to a higher social status would make her a phoenix.

She truly forgot what her family used to be like, and she also forgot what class means!

When did a fat dog start barking wildly in its owner's house?

Should we kill this woman and let her last until New Year's?

After absorbing all the memories and knowing how the story would unfold, Shen Wuxiao immediately made a phone call.

"Uncle Wu, bring some people to the Dragon Court Seven Star Hotel. Don't send ordinary people; they must at least be second-rank martial arts experts!"

(Rank 1 is the lowest, Rank 9 is the highest, Rank 1 to 3 are low-level martial artists, Rank 4 to 6 are mid-level masters, Rank 7 to 9 are high-level grandmasters, and each rank has sub-stages from Level 1 to Level 9.)

After hanging up the phone, Shen Wuxiao straightened his clothes in front of the mirror and a thin smile appeared on his face.

Uncle Wu was a fifth-rank, seventh-level master arranged by his family to protect him.

In the original storyline, Uncle Wu didn't even appear.

That was because Shen Wuxiao didn't know Lin Chen existed.

This caused them to be taken advantage of and crippled in one blow.

Prepare now. A third-rank martial artist, a sixth-level trained in the military, is nothing.

Shen Wuxiao stepped toward the banquet hall.

As I stepped out the door, the crackling sound of radio waves echoed again in my mind, followed by a scene.

"Ding! The most suitable villain has been found. The Villain Plunder System has been activated!!!"

"Bound to host, Shen Wuxiao"

"?"

"Plunder everything from the protagonist of this era, including luck, opportunities, women, organs, etc."

"Plundering, including doing a series of things detrimental to the current protagonist, or even killing the protagonist of destiny, can all earn points."

"The host can propose their own tasks, which will be created by the system. You can accept tasks at any time, and the points awarded will be determined by the task content."

Points can be exchanged for anything you need in the store.

The series of system words left Shen Wuxiao somewhat dazed.

A plunder system, and even physical plunder—basically killing the protagonist!

Shen Wuxiao was quite surprised and pleased.

"Can I take a mission to kill the Chosen One? He must die today!"

"Yes, that yields..."

"Ding! The system has issued a mission: kill the Chosen One. Completing this mission will give you 1 million points. This mission is valid indefinitely until completed."

Considering the host usually enjoys eating, drinking, and having fun, and is not interested in martial arts, the system will provide a beginner villain gift package.

"Realm advancement, Rank 6, Master Level 1..."

Shen Wuxiao felt his blood and energy surge, and he seemed reborn.

Such a human touch showed a broad perspective.

He couldn't wait to rush to the banquet hall, eager to continue the interrupted story and kill the protagonist.

...

In the banquet hall, people were coming and going, all giving congratulations to the Liu family.

Shen Wuxiao's identity was no secret at all; he came from the capital and was a member of the Shen family.

There were countless people who wanted to curry favor with him.

The Liu family had become wealthy; one man's success brought prosperity to the entire family, even distant relatives and extended family members benefited from it.

Even the family's dogs were "legitimate livestock" and fed public rations, and the rolling pin in the kitchen was almost given the title of police baton.

After today's events, the Liu family's status in Zhonghai would undoubtedly reach number one.

Which powerful family wouldn't dare give them face?

"The Liu family is so lucky to have Young Master Shen protecting them like this. When else could I get such fortune?"

"Come on, first you need to have a daughter as beautiful as Liu Qingqing!"

"My daughter isn't pretty, but her cooking is pretty good, right? Not as good as Liu..."

"Shh... lower your voice, the Liu family isn't something we should be discussing now."

Several people whispered among themselves, filled with envy and jealousy.

The Liu family also enjoyed treatment they had never received before.

The thought of having a son-in-law like Shen Wuxiao made them stand tall.

What made them most proud was that Shen Wuxiao listened to every word their daughter said.

Whatever they wanted, they only needed to tell Liu Qingqing, and their wish would be fulfilled in a short time.

"Patriarch Liu, congratulations!"

"Master Liu, let's sit down and chat sometime. It's been years since we last drank tea and chatted together!"

"We'll see when there's an opportunity!" Liu Jinshu, the current head of the Liu family, smiled, but his arrogance was unconcealed.

The more congratulations a family received, the more arrogant they became.

Right at that moment, a figure approached.

As soon as they saw the newcomer, everyone immediately went over to greet him.

Liu Jinshu also approached and greeted his son-in-law: "Wu Xiao, how are the preparations?"

Shen Wuxiao stopped when he saw Liu Jinshu.

A thin smile appeared on his face: "Ready? Has the Liu family arrived?"

Liu Jinshu nodded, acting like an elder: "They've arrived, everyone is here, the atmosphere is quite lively. It's just that Qingqing's younger brother is abroad, so we didn't have time to notify him."

Shen Wuxiao still smiled and said, "It's fine, however many you have, the entire family must gather here today!"

Liu Jinshu became even more proud, as if to say, "See? No matter how high the son-in-law's status, he still has to care about the Liu family's feelings."

This shows how important this matter is, to the point they're thinking of bringing the entire Liu family!

Shen Wuxiao said nothing more and went straight to the stage.

The atmosphere immediately quieted, everyone craning their necks, waiting for the eldest son of the Shen family to speak.

"Tap tap..." The microphone was tapped twice.

"It is an honor for all of you to attend my wedding banquet today!"

One sentence made everyone present feel extremely embarrassed.

Indeed, if it were a legitimate wedding, they wouldn't be judged based on the title of eldest son of the Shen family.

"I'm not one for empty talk, so let's have today's female lead, my fiancée Qingqing, say a few words to everyone!"

Shen Wuxiao said this deliberately.

Enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience.

Liu Qingqing, who had been hiding in the shadows hoping to see Shen Wuxiao clarify the wedding news, turned green with anger.

That bastard was really trying to shift the blame onto her!

But in this situation, she couldn't hide anymore.

So, Liu Qingqing gritted her teeth and slowly walked out.

However, her face looked very pale.

When she walked onto the stage, she deliberately turned her face away from the microphone, furrowed her brow, gritted her teeth, and said to Shen Wuxiao, "What do you mean by this?"

"You'd better explain yourself as clearly as possible. If you embarrass the Liu family, I won't forgive you!"

"Quickly explain to everyone that today's wedding banquet is a joke."

Shen Wuxiao looked at her as if she were an idiot; she was truly spoiled rotten.

She was going to die anyway, so there was no need to rush.

Shen Wuxiao laughed and said, "You call it a joke, but do you yourself have plans to get married?"

Or are you planning to wait for someone, meet them first, then have a farewell romance? Or will you break off the engagement with me after someone comes?

Hearing this, Liu Qingqing's expression changed: "You... what nonsense are you spouting? I don't have time to waste with you. Clarify now!"

Shen Wuxiao nodded: "Alright, alright, I'll listen to you!"

He raised the microphone and laughed, "Ladies and gentlemen, aren't you curious about what we were whispering about?"

"Well, Qingqing, she wants the ceremony to end quickly and is urging me to go to the bridal chamber. She says she can't wait!"

The people below immediately began to jeer and laugh.

"Looks like Young Master Shen is quite vigorous!"

"Is Liu Qingqing really that eager? I really want to try it! Wait, where did my G-plastic go?"

Liu Qingqing was stunned hearing this, completely unable to believe it.

"Shen Wuxiao, have you gone crazy? How could I possibly..."

Before the rebuke was finished, a terrifying voice suddenly came from the entrance of the banquet hall.

"Who gave you the courage to humiliate Qingqing!"

"You've committed suicide; you deserve to die!"
