Chapter 1: The Villain Was Me

The dim glow of Lucian’s desk lamp flickered against the pages of his newest obsession—It’s Time to Change the Fate. He leaned back in his chair, half-lidded eyes narrowing as he read the final chapter of the trending web novel.

> > “The villain fell in love with the hero but never spoke of it. In the end, he died alone — hated, misunderstood, unloved.”

>They say villains don't get a happy ending <

Lucian scoffed, tossing his phone onto the bed.

> “Seriously? That’s how it ends? You made him suffer all that time, let him fall in love, only to kill him off without even a confession? Lame.”

He dragged a hand through his midnight-black hair and stood, stretching lazily. His tongue clicked in irritation.

> “And the hero—cold, perfect, untouchable. Aeron Vale. You really didn’t see the villain’s feelings? I’d sue you for emotional blindness.”

His heart ached, for reasons he didn’t understand. The villain’s last look haunted him like a ghost. There was something deeply familiar about it… like a sorrow he’d buried long ago.

But before he could dwell on it, dizziness swept over him like a wave crashing through his skull. The world spun, the floor dropped away, and darkness swallowed him whole.

He woke up with silk against his cheek and sunlight stabbing through tall windows.

> “What the hell…”

Lucian blinked, sitting up in a bed far too luxurious to belong to him. Crimson velvet sheets, carved furniture, gold-rimmed mirrors—

This wasn’t his room. This wasn’t his apartment.

A maid flinched beside the bed, her eyes wide. “Young Master Caelan, y-you're awake? Should I call the physician?”

> Young Master Caelan?

He stood, stumbling to the mirror—and froze.

The reflection staring back wore a silk robe and a bitter expression. Sharp crimson red eyes, high cheekbones, a body too perfect to be real.

> “No. No way.”

Books were stacked beside the bed, and one of them caught his eye. He picked it up, trembling.

> It’s Time to Change the Fate <

> But now... It's Time to Rewrite the Villain's Fate <

Chapter 34 – The Villain's Poisoned Tea

The exact moment when the villain's downfall began.

> “You’ve gotta be kidding me…”

He wasn’t dreaming. He wasn’t hallucinating.

He’d become the villain.

Caelan Veritas—the doomed character who was obsessed with the hero, manipulated by Liora, and fated to die unloved.

> “Of all people… why him?”

He stared out the window, smirking bitterly. “Well then,” he said, voice dripping with cool venom. “If I’m going to be the villain… I’ll rewrite this ending myself.
