Du Rui, an exceptionally forgetful reader, finds himself transmigrated into one of the top male harem stallion novels, but as the antagonist. Now inhabiting the role of Xue Xinyu, the cunning villain, Du Rui struggles to maintain his s...

Now imagine poor Du Rui, our unsuspecting reader-turned-accidental-character, trying to navigate this chaotic mess. Where in the seven hells am I? his inner monologue screamed, laced with a colourful array of expletives that would make a sailor blush. Who would've thunk it? This laid-back bookworm, who once struggled to keep up with the convoluted plot and endless character list, now finds himself smack dab in the middle of this... well, let's call it a 'masterpiece' for lack of a better term. With a groan that could wake the dead (and possibly startle a few undead), he peeled himself off the bed, feeling as lost as a chicken trying to solve a Rubik's cube.
Standing up, Du Rui shuffled towards the mirror like a detective in a B-list mystery flick, squinting at his reflection as if expecting it to morph into something more heroic or at least less bewildered. Yep, same old face staring back, same questionable taste in pyjamas. But now, thanks to the universe's twisted sense of humour, he was a living, breathing character in this literary dumpster fire.
Raising his head, Du Rui pondered, Not only have I transmigrated into the worst novel, but I'm also the antagonist? What was his name again... Huawei? Let's stick with Huawei-something for now...
Huawei-something, to be precise, was Huai Xiaozhun, the man who became a peak master and later adopted the name Xue Xinyu, ultimately ascending to the position of Crown Prince of Ende, known as Xiao. He was the sect master who took Liang Zhiguan in as his only disciple after years of not accepting any disciples.
"Am I supposed to be the bad guy now? Do I at least get a cool villain monologue?" he muttered, trying to recall if the antagonist's job description included anything glamorous like world domination or, at the very least, a really snazzy outfit.
As Du Rui gazed into the mirror, he couldn't help but smirk at the sight of Xiao's former glory, now embodied in Xue Xinyu. Preening like a peacock, he admired his reflection, revelling in the undeniable handsomeness that now graced his form. "Well, well, well, look who's a stud muffin," he chuckled to himself, striking a pose that screamed "Peak Master chic."
Sure, it wasn't his original body, but hey, who's complaining when you've got looks that could stop a charging bull in its tracks?
Even in Zhao Lian's eyes, he was described as the most handsome man he had ever met, despite their adversarial relationship in the end.
With a resigned sigh, he slumped back on the bed, pondering his fate in this zany, undead-filled narrative. "Alright, Du Rui, it's time to step up your game. If I'm stuck here, I might as well make the best of it. Maybe I'll be the first antagonist to win over the readers with charm and a really detailed harem management plan."
It didn't take long for Du Rui, now going by the name Xue Xinyu, to determine which arc he had landed in. he discovery of a pendant—a familiar one, mind you, given to the original Xue Xinyu (who, for simplicity's sake, we'll now refer to as Huai Xiaozhun) by none other than Liang Zhiguan—served as a bright neon sign pointing to their current location in the literary labyrinth. This nifty trinket revealed that Xue Xinyu was already knee-deep in his role as Liang Zhiguan's teacher, situating our tale somewhere within the epic tapestry of the Qi Yun Peak arc.
