When Jiang Li declared his acceptance of the system's identity and acknowledged that he was now a Host, a person chosen by a Mighty Whoever to save crazy people, the system immediately initiated the transfer and tossed him into a whirlwind of time and space.
His mind turned black, all his senses turned off as all he could perceive was darkness. Fortunately, throughout the process, he felt no pain. When he came back to his senses, all he felt was a bit of dizziness, nothing more.
"Host, we're now in the first world."
Jiang Li heard the child-like voice and subconsciously opened his eyes. Or, actually he never closed them, the correct term should be 'he regained his sense of sight'. Now his retinas were being assaulted by various colors and shapes. It hurt a bit after. His head was also aching and he wondered whether this was the late aftereffect of the transfer.
Only when the pain finally subsided did he remember that he had been confined for so long in an endlessly dark space. It was no wonder his eyes got hurt by the sudden waves of colors and lights.
Jiang Li blinked. He could now see clearly again, and in front of him was a noisy, ugly and seemingly annoying figure crying. That was just his subjective opinion which was actually not very reliable. Anyway, he looked away almost immediately. The system didn't warn him that when he woke up, a wailing woman dressed in fancy makeup and wigs would greet his poor eyes.
With closed eyes, he asked in his mind, "System?"
"I'm here, Host."
The young man was silent for a while. The system didn't know what was running on his mind, but it got somewhat frightened as the man unintentionally let out suppressed noises in his mind. It was as though he was trying to stop laughing out of anger. And to be honest, the system didn't get how he made it possible!
Luckily, before the system turned crazy from fear, Jiang Li spoke up, the tone bland but forceful. "Explain now what you have to explain, or else...."
025 was silent as well for a while, wondering why he laughed eerily at the end of his statement. It was late to realize that its host was making threats. But thankfully, it still managed to do so and did begin to educate its host in panic.
"Ah, host! You're now in the first world, it's a modern one, similar to your original world, except it's before the apocalypse. You have taken over as a campus heartthrob of this world's story, and your job is to avoid letting the villainess end up the way she originally did. You have to resolve all the resentments of the original villainess' soul, ensuring that this world doesn't die out of the crazy villainess' self-destruction."
"I suppose what you mean is don't let her become a villainess."
"Ahm, actually, it's alright as long as you don't let her become crazy and die crazily like that. Villainesses, in a sense, are actually like female leads. Oh, I almost forgot, the world revolves around a few important people. The leads, the secondary leads and the villains. But like I said, villainesses are actually like female leads, to be precise, they're failures of female leads. But their importance and the allocated world energy to them are the same. What you actually have to do is prevent them in contaminating the world's energy allocated with the resentment they harbored after they went crazy. If ever that happens, the aftermath could damage or in a worst case scenario, destroy a world!"
"...Do you know it all didn't make sense to me? Just like how I don't get why that woman is crying in front of me?"
"Actually, host, you'll later learn the reason once you inherit the original's memories. And I suggest, you take the memories first, and let me do a thorough explanation later when you're alone by yourself."
Jiang Li wished he could at least give a glare to the system. He thought it was so stupid. How come it didn't realize that it should do so the moment he arrived? Was it hard for an AI to realize that throwing someone without knowledge of the situation he would wake up into was like throwing a cannon fodder towards a random direction with no rhyme or reason?
"025, next time, do your job properly! Before I transmigrate or before I open my eyes the next time I transmigrate, I want every information related to the original implanted in my mind!"
The system exclaimed with its imaginary mouth wide open. It just learned that it did quite mess up and immediately promised, "I'll make sure to do that next time. Sorry, host. For now, please relax and accept the memories."
Jiang Li followed its direction. He remained standing, half-leaning on the wall, his eyes close. Then his long-awaited information finally flooded in.
Just like what 025 mentioned, the world was like a parallel modern Earth, with the same advancement in technology, but different history and people.
The story took place in Jasper City.
The female lead was a rich second generation named Bai Qing, 21 years old, naturally beautiful, hardworking, and charming. As said, she was unlike most second generation ladies who only knew what shopping and spending money were. No. She was not a good for nothing, but instead a smart and capable person already helping her father uphold their fashion and clothing line.
The male lead was, of course, the richest man in the city, 27 years old CEO and Chairman of the Longfeng Group of Companies, Cheng Yijun. No more words are needed to describe how mighty and powerful this man was given that he became that wealthy and well-accomplished at such a young age.
The two met in a cliche party and the woman was unmistakenly drugged by some spoiled brat who had designs to soil her. But sorry for that dorky young man, his hard work went to the male lead.
Jiang Li's memories didn't say why the male lead suddenly rolled in the sheets with Bai Qing, but Jiang Li only assumed Cheng Yijun was a maniac for the sake of his brain's convenience. The guy seemed unlikable after all.
Who cares if he's powerful and accomplished?
After he forgot every promise he made with the other girl who helped him when he was in dire straits, when he even bedded another woman just because he wanted to appear helpful to a drugged girl, Jiang Li immediately crossed his name out of his dictionary. It was now synonymous to the words 'bastard', 'scum', 'stupid', and 'brain-dead'. That was how a male lead suddenly turned out in his mind.
And the villainess?
Jiang Li's lips curled into a beautiful but sarcastic smile as he browsed the memories.
This world was quite abnormal since it did not follow the norms when creating its villainess. Normally, the villainess would be another rich and influential lady, probably only a tiny bit lesser than the male lead. This was all to make the female-lead-bullying easier. But somehow, in this case, the villainess named Xie Na was not a rich heiress as one would expect from her.
Xie Na, the villainess of this world, was a peasant! A commoner! A poor woman from a backwater town who had been trying her luck in the city!
The first time she met the male lead was when she was 20 years old, three years before the sexy encounter between the two mains. It was at one of the many factories owned by the Cheng family where she works as a rank-and-file worker. The only reason the male lead took notice of her was due to an unusual incident where he stupidly tripped on the floor and fell into a squarish hole filled with many dangerous contraptions and machines. He would have been flattened into a meat paste if not for Xie Na immediately coming to his rescue, which she did by immediately switching off the massive devices underneath.
The male lead was grateful, of course, and took her out to a meal as his thanks. Since then, he began to notice her extraordinary beauty and felt pity upon her. He said a lady like her should not work in a dangerous environment like that and made her his personal attendant. From then on, the girl gradually fell for the rich and handsome guy who was actually not stupid or clumsy as she originally thought. As she discovered how responsible, witty and smart he was as a corporate person, her feelings also began to evolve from simple admiration to romantic love.
Jiang Li, as he reached this part, furrowed his brows. The development was really puzzling and now he was wondering if this was what the system meant when it said that villainesses were in fact, failed female leads. Jiang Li thought that this was his first time seeing a Cinderella-like antagonist like Xie Na. This progression was obviously for a heroine!
So back to the plot.
Cheng Yijun also showed signs of being partial to her on many occasions. After all, the original Xie Na was a very capable woman, only her origins and paper-written qualifications held her back. Nevertheless, when Cheng Yijun made her his personal assistant, he realized that he had uncovered a gem. His appreciation of her grew, and he did his best to treat her with the utmost care he could give, afraid of losing a super asset like her.
This attitude he gave her left an impression in her, and everyone else's, mind that he also loved the woman. For three years, this idea was fortified because he didn't clarify anything. The other party was thinking that he was just not a vocal person, and assumed he was reciprocating her love by the deeds he showed her. After all, he let her become a successful and rich woman. Because of this, she was able to solve some issues in her family in her hometown. He also brought her to many candle-lit dinners, bought her red roses every day, treated her so well... and before the grand encounter, he actually bedded her, albeit he was not fully conscious due to drunkenness.
The girl was very happy. She was expecting that when he learned how they already cooked the rice with love, he would immediately take responsibility and propose to marry her thus making her a real Cinderella.
But when the next morning came, he cruelly denied what they just did and was in refusal about the love she was claiming they had in between them. He left her crying there. But as a girl already slaved to love, she thought he was merely confused. Once his mind cleared, he would go back to her and ask for her forgiveness. She even planned to make him suffer a bit before forgiving him. Then she pictured in her mind that she would only pardon him if he proposed marriage to her.
Jiang Li clicked his tongue in annoyance as he read through this. He could already predict how the girl turned crazy. Surely, love did it all to her. Obviously, she fell for a guy not destined for her, made to wait for him like a fool. Then when the guy finally met his true destiny, she was left to wallow in grief, but as a stubborn lover, her heart didn't allow her to give up.
But when she got pregnant with his child... and he still refused her, even causing her to miscarry,... that was when her mind and heart truly broke. Thus, her broken-shell embarked the path of no return, with madness and crazy resolve to drag the world to hell with her.
Jiang Li was already too angry and incensed to continue. He stopped. He had to, or else, his already blackening heart would grow much worse than it was now. He counted his breathing in and out. It took him many seconds to calm down. Once he was back to a tranquil mood, he called out to his mind.
"System, in which part of the plot am I?"
The reason he asked was that the memories didn't include his current situation. Well, he knew that part of the reason was his current identity.
His name was the same. Jiang Li.
However, despite being a campus heartthrob, he was not really part of the storyline. In short, he's a cannon-fodder. Or maybe, worse than that, an extra.
"Host, Xie Na is still 19 years old. She's still in college. And you are one of his seniors from the same department. You are one of the campus idols, and there are many people confessing to you every day. This violet wigged girl is one of them. However, you rejected her harshly. Er, you're actually also known for being harsh to females..."
Oh. That explains why this species was crying before him.
'I sympathize with this weird girl, but I can also relate to the original.'
He suddenly felt awkward but knowing things already happened, he could only stand by the original's decision. However, despite turning cold and slightly prone to anger, he was still someone who respected feelings. A girl crying like this to him was leaving a bad taste in his mouth, and this was making him blame the system for pulling him into this situation.
With a sigh, he said, "Once again, I can't accept your feelings. Sorry, but I already have someone I'm fascinated with. May you find your true love someday."
Though he lied, he didn't act bothered by it and quietly retreated from the rooftop.

He also brought her to many candle-lit dinners, bought her red roses every day, treated her so well... and before the grand encounter, he actually bedded her, albeit he was not fully conscious due to drunkenness.The girl was very happy. She was expecting that when he learned how they already cooked the rice with love, he would immediately take responsibility and propose to marry her thus making her a real Cinderella.But when the next morning came, he cruelly denied what they just did and was in refusal about the love she was claiming they had in between them. He left her crying there. But as a girl already slaved to love, she thought he was merely confused. Once his mind cleared, he would go back to her and ask for her forgiveness. She even planned to make him suffer a bit before forgiving him. Then she pictured in her mind that she would only pardon him if he proposed marriage to her.Jiang Li clicked his tongue in annoyance as he read through this. He could already predict how the girl turned crazy. Surely, love did it all to her. Obviously, she fell for a guy not destined for her, made to wait for him like a fool. Then when the guy finally met his true destiny, she was left to wallow in grief, but as a stubborn lover, her heart didn't allow her to give up.But when she got pregnant with his child... and he still refused her, even causing her to miscarry,... that was when her mind and heart truly broke. Thus, her broken-shell embarked the path of no return, with madness and crazy resolve to drag the world to hell with her.Jiang Li was already too angry and incensed to continue. He stopped. He had to, or else, his already blackening heart would grow much worse than it was now. He counted his breathing in and out. It took him many seconds to calm down. Once he was back to a tranquil mood, he called out to his mind."System, in which part of the plot am I?"The reason he asked was that the memories didn't include his current situation. Well, he knew that part of the reason was his current identity.His name was the same. Jiang Li.However, despite being a campus heartthrob, he was not really part of the storyline. In short, he's a cannon-fodder. Or maybe, worse than that, an extra."Host, Xie Na is still 19 years old. She's still in college. And you are one of his seniors from the same department. You are one of the campus idols, and there are many people confessing to you every day. This violet wigged girl is one of them. However, you rejected her harshly. Er, you're actually also known for being harsh to females..."Oh. That explains why this species was crying before him.'I sympathize with this weird girl, but I can also relate to the original.'He suddenly felt awkward but knowing things already happened, he could only stand by the original's decision. However, despite turning cold and slightly prone to anger, he was still someone who respected feelings. A girl crying like this to him was leaving a bad taste in his mouth, and this was making him blame the system for pulling him into this situation.With a sigh, he said, "Once again, I can't accept your feelings. Sorry, but I already have someone I'm fascinated with. May you find your true love someday."Though he lied, he didn't act bothered by it and quietly retreated from the rooftop......
