Reborn As The Villain
My Fate In The Rain
⦿ 21st Century in the Year of 2025
Xing Li
What a stupid novel…The protagonist’s crush was killed by the villain, which ultimately led the protagonist to take revenge on the villain.
Xing Li
The plot is as bad as its title, “The Unrequited Love.”
Xing Li
My younger sister told me that it’s the number one heartbreaking novel at the moment, yet it’s quite disappointing. I could never sympathize with how it feels to lose a lover.
* Ringing- Call from Hua Xia *
- Xing Li picks up the phone -
Xing Li
Hey, sis. what’s up?
Hua Xia
Brother! Can you come meet me at Ding’s Restaurant? I’m having dinner over here and I have something to give you.
Xing Li
Eh, but it’s so late. You can give it to me tomorrow.
Hua Xia
No! No! Come right now! I have to give it to you by today!
Xing Li
What business do you have with me that requires such urgency, sis?
Hua Xia
Well, if you want to find out, you’ll need to meet me at Ding’s restaurant. I’ll see you here!
⦿ Hua Xia hangs up the call giving her brother no choice.
Xing Li
Geez that sister of mine. How inconvenient.
⦿ Xing Li grabbed his umbrella and made his way to meet up with his sister.
Xing Li
Wah, it’s pouring so hard outside. I better hurry before I get sick from the rain.
⦿ A perfect storm was brewing outside as the rain poured endlessly. As Xing Li waited to cross the city intersection, a heavy gust of wind blew away his umbrella from right under beneath his grasp.
⦿ Xing Li watched helplessly as his umbrella flew to the middle of the crosswalk.
Xing Li
Now I’m going to get all soaked!
⦿ As the light turned green, Xing Li walked towards the umbrella and bent down to retrieve his umbrella.
⦿ While Xing Li reaches down to grab his umbrella, an unseen truck emerges onto the scene and collides directly into Xing Li.
Random Pedestrian
Ahhhhhh!!! Someone got hit by a truck! Help!!!
⦿ Distant cries and yells can be heard as Xing Li’s body lays lifelessly on the cold concrete pavement.
Xing Li
💭 I feel cold. Am I going to die…? I’m scared…!
Xing Li
💭 Ah, Hua Xia. Your brother is… I’m sorry. I won’t be able to meet up with you…
Where am I?
- Xing Li opens his eyes -
⦿ As Xing Li rises from the bed, he gazes around the room to see that the room is lavishly decorated with fine and exquisite adornments.
Xing Li
💭 What’s going on here…? I remember I was lying in the middle of the crosswalk… yet here I am lying in this peculiar room…
Xing Li
💭 This certainly isn’t a hospital.
⦿ Xing Li suddenly experiences a throbbing headache.
Xing Li
Ouch, why does my head hurts so much?
⦿ Xing Li touches his head and notices that bandages are wrapped around his head.
⦿ Jie Yan, a young maid, then entered the room. She wore a plain, green hanfu befitting of a servant.
Jie Yan
Ah! My lord, you’re awake! How are you feeling?
Xing Li
💭 Did she just address me as a lord!?
Jie Yan
You’ve been unconscious for a whole day now. Lord Regent and Madam have been worried sick about you!
Xing Li
💭 Lord Regent… and Madam…? This could explain why I’m in this luxurious room… Did I by some miraculous chance get reincarnated into another universe as a lord…?
- Xing Li clears his throat -
Xing Li
I do apologize, but perhaps it’s due to the unconsciousness that I am experiencing some lapses within my memories… Can you please tell me your name?
- Jie Yan shows a worrisome face -
Jie Yan
I am your humble servant, Jie Yan, my lord.
Xing Li
Jie Yan… and what of my name…?
Jie Yan
Xing Li, my lord.
Xing Li
💭 Xing Li… Oh god, his name is the same as mine.
Xing Li
💭 Wait, isn’t that the name of the villain from the novel, “The Unrequited Love,” that my sister recommended me!?
Xing Li
💭 Don’t tell me that my soul has reincarnated into the body of Lord Xing Li the villain!? If the story goes as planned… then does that mean I am going to inevitably meet my fate!? Of course, it’d be just my luck to die two times over!
⦿ Jie Yan looks at Xing Li with a perplexed expression as a bewildered Xing Li sits in contemplation.
Jie Yan
My lord, allow me to bring you medicine and change your bandages for you. I’ll be back shortly!
- Jie Yan leaves Lord Xing Li’s room -
⦿ Xing Li decides to walk around and observe the room in his elegant and transparent white robe. An oval golden mirror catches Xing Li’s eyes as he walks towards it.
Xing Li
💭 In the novel, Xing Li was describe as a tall, handsome man with sharp hazel eyes and a high nose bridge. Petite face with beautiful, thin lips. The novel overemphasizes the unparalleled beauty and charm of Xing Li as he is the most beautiful man human eyes could ever set theirs eyes upon.
- Xing Li talks to himself -
Xing Li
Now, I’m curious to see how beautiful he-
Xing Li
-Cough- How beautiful I am.
⦿ As Xing Li stares into the mirror, he is immediately met with disbelief in his eyes.
Is Jie Yan Dead?
Xing Li
Holy…! How is this even POSSIBLE?! I am so GORGEOUS! Even I’m going to fall in love with myself.
⦿ A sudden thought came to Xing Li.
- Xing Li smirks maliciously -
Xing Li
💭 Anyone would fall for me with these kinds of looks! It was a good 18 years but now I can finally say goodbye to the single life! Woo-hoo!
⦿ Jie Yan knocked on the door and asked for permission to enter Lord Xing Li’s room.
⦿ Jie Yan did not receive a response and decided to enter anyhow since the sliding door was still left ajar. As she entered the room, she noticed Xing Li laughing menacingly.
- Jie Yan spoke with nervousness -
Jie Yan
My lord, please allow me to change your bandages.
Xing Li
💭 Oops, I was so immersed within my thoughts that I didn’t even notice her coming in.
Xing Li
Ah sure, you may change it.
- Jie Yan changes the bandages on Xing Li’s head -
⦿ Jie Yan immediately kowtows onto the ground crying.
Jie Yan
I’m so sorry, my lord! I didn’t mean to hurt you, I… I don’t want to die yet.
Jie Yan
Please! Show me mercy, I still have to take care of my sick brother.
Xing Li
💭 Uh… What just happened? I only said that my wound hurts.
⦿ Suddenly, memories of the villain Xing Li magically flow into Xing Li as if their souls were heavenly intertwined. Xing Li then experiences and re-enters a flashback from the villain’s memories.
⦿ The flashback brings Xing Li back to a scene where the villain Xing Li had a servant executed after she had brought him a freshly hot, brewed tea. It angered him because he had to wait for the tea to cool down.
Xing Li
💭 Ah right. I had totally forgotten that he mercilessly executed his own servants in the novel for trivial reasons. Of course, she would be scared…
Xing Li
Uh, Jie Yan… I’m not going to kill you. I’m sorry if I scared you.
⦿ In fear, Jie Yan abruptly bows down her head so forcibly that her head bleeds.
Jie Yan
No, my lord! This… s…s..servant is the one at fault. I d…d..deserve death! I made my lord apologize!
Xing Li
💭 Lord Xing Li was feared amongst his own people due to his short temperament and cold cruelty. I can now understand why Jie Yan has cowered so much in fear right before me. This is going to be quite problematic because I am NOTHING like Lord Xing Li!
Xing Li
Jie Yan, stand up.
⦿ As Jie Yan stood up, blood dripped from the center of Jie Yan’s forehead.
