The Lu Family.

  Today marked the birthday banquet for the patriarch of the Lu family, drawing the cream of Suzhou and Hangzhou's elite. A handsome young man with sharp eyebrows and piercing eyes suddenly flinched, blurting out a profanity. After quickly processing the memories flooding his mind, Lu Li felt utterly overwhelmed. He was a die-hard fan of online literature, having devoured at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, urban fantasy novels. Then, out of nowhere, he acquired a villain system. This damn system forced him to play the antagonist in these stories, rewarding him for surviving major plot points. If he made it to the grand finale, he could even return to his original world with all the loot! But every single time, he got hellish starting points. Like in his eighth book transmigration, he was the security guard tasked with blocking the protagonist from entering the company. As everyone knows, security guards and bodyguards are high-risk occupations in urban action novels. His fate? Getting punched through a window by the male lead, Dragon General, and dying instantly. The previous round was even more absurd—the protagonist of that novel was the Northern Xuan Celestial Lord! As the villain, he didn't even get a chance to speak before being slapped to death.System, what the hell is this book?

  Lu Li shouted inwardly.“This is War God Dragon King, currently Chapter Seven.”The System's cold voice chimed in.Prompted by the System, Lu Li swiftly recalled the book's plot.It was yet another formulaic, feel-good novel.The protagonist, Ye Chen, hailed from a prominent clan.At age five, his entire family was slaughtered. Taken abroad by an old man, he was trained into the world's most elite assassin! He also single-handedly built the Dragon Soul, the world's top mercenary organization, earning him the nickname Dragon King!Beyond that, his medical skills were world-class, and he could effortlessly appraise jade stones and treasures. This time, he had returned to City A under a false identity to investigate the massacre that claimed his family years ago. Along the way, he planned to seduce dozens of beauties, build a harem, and ultimately reach the pinnacle of life.Lu Li's identity is that of the eldest son of the Lu family, the foremost of City A's four major clans, whose assets have soared to over a trillion! Embodiment into such a role should be utterly exhilarating. Yet no matter how noble a villain's status, they remain nothing more than stepping stones for the protagonist. “Chapter Seven's plot... Holy shit, am I going to die again?”
