Hold on tight!
An Yi said, leaping straight off the rooftop.
Thud!
Dust scattered everywhere as the two landed firmly on the ground.
Shangguan Qianqian clung tightly to An Yi, her face pale, still shaken from the experience.
"Just jumping off a building! Why did you have to sprint like that?!"
An Yi patted her back. "Hey, we’ve already landed."
"Mm."
Shangguan Qianqian nodded, her beautiful eyes flickering with emotion.
"Shangguan Qianqian?! Is that really you?!"
Suddenly, a girl’s delighted voice rang out.
The newcomer was none other than Nie Qinglan!
She had spotted a man holding a woman, and when she realized the woman was Shangguan Qianqian, she couldn’t help but exclaim in excitement.
Then, Nie Qinglan quickly covered her mouth, realizing she might have interrupted an intimate moment.
Wait—
Nie Qinglan froze as if struck by lightning, momentarily stunned.
The man holding Shangguan Qianqian…
Was actually An Yi!!!
Her boyfriend was embracing her idol.
This… this…
"The sky is falling, folks!"
"Qinglan, what are you doing here?" An Yi asked, puzzled.
Nie Qinglan pouted, her voice full of grievance. "I went to the cinema to look for you last night and waited the whole night, but you never showed up."
"Then why didn’t you just call?!"
A vein throbbed on An Yi’s forehead.
Had this girl really waited for him all night?
Seeing the dark circles under her eyes, even his stone-cold heart felt a twinge of guilt.
Nie Qinglan whined, "Your number doesn’t even work! A long time ago, whenever I called, you’d always say you were smoking a cigar. After two times, you blocked me."
An Yi: "..."
Now he remembered.
This girl was too much of a handful. Back then, to avoid her pestering, he’d given her Ding Renfeng’s number instead… Ahem, not important.
Shangguan Qianqian pondered for a moment before looking at Nie Qinglan. "So you’re Nie Qinglan?"
She was inwardly shocked.
Empress Nie Qinglan?!
The underground ruler who unified Xia Country’s shadow factions?
In her past life, Nie Qinglan had been her idol!
Throughout history, few women had ever achieved such heights.
What surprised Shangguan Qianqian was that the current Nie Qinglan still acted like a rebellious teen.
"Yes, yes! I’m Nie Qinglan! Oh my god, my idol knows my name! Shangguan Qianqian, I adore you! You know, ever since you debuted two years ago, I’ve followed everything you’ve done—your songs, your dramas, I’ve watched them all! Especially the movie Where is Diaochan?—I bought tickets and watched it over a dozen times in theaters…"
Nie Qinglan’s eyes sparkled as she gushed like an excited fangirl, chattering nonstop.
This left Shangguan Qianqian both flattered and overwhelmed.
She realized that the larger-than-life figures from her past life weren’t as untouchable as she’d thought after being reborn.
Take the leaders of the Asura Sect, for example.
An Yi, the sect master known for dominating the world and slashing through the heavens, was actually a shameless, sleazy loser!
Lin Chen, the Grim Reaper, was just a scheming jerk.
Bai Xiu, the Nightmare, was a perpetually drowsy dead-fish-eyed guy.
Fang Jueming, the Fist Emperor, was a justice-obsessed, slightly dumb little twink!
And then there was Chen Bing, the sect’s strategist nicknamed "Thousand Schemes"—just a four-eyed nerd…
Shangguan Qianqian suddenly felt that maybe she could handle the role of vice-sect master after all.
Truthfully, the real authority in the sect lay with the sect master and the elders.
Her position as vice-sect master was more like a chief of staff—responsible for managing internal affairs and keeping things running smoothly.
Important? Sure. Indispensable? Not really.
Come to think of it, in her past life, the Asura Sect hadn’t even had a vice-sect master…
"Qianqian, why are you with An Yi…?"
After rambling for ages, Nie Qinglan finally circled back to the burning question.
Shangguan Qianqian replied seriously, "An Yi is my boss!"
"He’s your boss?!"
Nie Qinglan’s jaw dropped in disbelief.
Unthinkable!
Inconceivable!
Even though she often jokingly called An Yi "Boss" and pretended to be his secretary, Nie Qinglan had never taken it seriously.
What kind of boss walked around in flip-flops and cheap clothes, leading a bunch of small-time thugs?!
Ahem. "Well, I’m planning to start an entertainment company. Shangguan Qianqian is my first signed artist," An Yi declared calmly.
The epitome of low-key flexing!
Right now, he almost had the aura of a seasoned capitalist.
Ding! Side Quest: [Establish an Entertainment Company]! Reward: Secondary Profession [Singer]! Villain Points +100!
The moment the thought crossed his mind, the Villain System delivered a new mission.
An Yi: "..."
He wanted to curse.
The Asura Sect, which he’d somehow ended up founding, was already giving him a headache.
And now this entertainment company mission?!
He’d only just had the idea!
Why did the task pop up so fast?!
This Villain System was getting more and more ridiculous.
Suddenly, he missed the old days when it assigned him petty tasks like stealing, groping, robbing, and extorting.
Nie Qinglan’s eyes widened in amazement. "Really?! Then… do you need my help? I’m really interested in acting! I can sing too—my underlings all say I sound amazing…"
She wasn’t cut out for stardom.
If she could’ve made it in the industry, her father’s underworld connections would’ve turned her into a princess overnight—resources, promotions, hype, they could’ve forced her into the spotlight!
But in the end, since her only talent was her pretty face (with zero skills in singing, dancing, or acting), she’d been forced to "further her studies" at Donghai University.
Seeing Nie Qinglan’s excitement, An Yi had a sudden idea. He placed a hand on her shoulder.
"In that case, I’ll leave the task of setting up the entertainment company to you! Go for it!"
Nie Qinglan: "..."
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
