1 Rebirth as a villain

Shen Yue is a college student studying engineering. He loves reading xianxia novels in his free time. He has read most of the top novels in novel updates. Even if he found the protagonists annoying due to their arrogance and extreme cruelty, they were better than beta Japanese mcs who were pathetic to him. Whenever he was bored in class or at home, he would daydream about being reincarnated as a mc in a xianxia world and gathering a harem and becoming op. One day, as he was crossing the street while daydreaming, he got hit by a car and blacked out.

When he became conscious again, he found himself in some sort of a classroom. A red-haired woman in a blue dress seemed to be talking about something. Some words like "glory city"…. "fighter, demon spiritist"….. caught his mind.

'Wait doesn't this sound familiar? Glory city, this is the name of city in "Tales of demons and gods". And this scene is the beginning of the story when the mc named Nie Li got reincarnated. Am I in a dream and right now I became the mc of the TDG? Wait, there is a girl sitting beside me and there is an orange haired young boy two rows behind me looking at her. Wait, the mc is not supposed to be sitting beside any girl. Also, that boy looked familiar. Right, that face looks very similar to the mc in the TDG manga and this girl beside me looks like the main heroine Ye Zi Yun. OH MY GOD! ##!##! Doesn't this mean I am her disgusting fiancé Shen Yue who is supposed to die later in the story. Why the hell am I dreaming like this. Is it because I have the same name as him? At least let me be a mc in my own dream. Not good, I must wake up so I can have another dream'.

Shen Yue tried to pinch his thigh and arm to wake himself up but the pain felt too real. The girl beside him was looking at him with a weird look. 'Wait, this dream is too real. Let me try to enjoy even if I am a villain of the story'. When the woman(supposedly his aunt) started talking about how nobles are different from commoners and the commoners should accept their miserable fate, Nie Li spoke up. 'This is following the script quite well. For now, let's just wait and see'.

As Shen Yue expected, Nie Li went on to make a bet with 'his' aunt to reach Bronze Rank in the test in two months and was asked to stand behind the class with a group of his friends. When the class was over, Shen Yue went on to his home. Unsurprisingly, he gained some of the memories from previous Shen Yue, so he was able to find his way back. As he started to assimilated his host's memories, he remembered that he has an older brother who is engaged to Xiao Ninger and a father who is in charge of finances for the Sacred family. His father is favored to inherit the position of patriarch.

'Wait, if the story follows the script, my father would lose his position because of Nie Li's schemes, and my whole family would be annihilated because of betraying Glory City. If that happens, doesn't that mean I will die as well? Wait, I just reincarnated, why should I die and become a stepping stone for the mc? I must think of a way to survive. Right, but where is my cheat item? Every reincarnator is supposed to come with an op chat item that can help him become strong. I hope I am not the only one without one. Let's wait and see for now.'
