Kidnapping the Heroine at the Start

"What the hell?"

"I actually transmigrated… and became the ultimate villain in a novel?!"

Yuyuan Tianfu—an ultra-luxurious villa complex located in the city center.

Inside the top-tier lakeside villa, a young man in his early twenties sat alone, scanning his surroundings while muttering to himself.

"This is some serious bullsh*t! Other people transmigrate and become the protagonist, but me? I end up as the damn villain!"

Lin Han's face alternated between pale and flushed as his head buzzed in disbelief.

In his previous life, he had spent years saving up to open a small bar. Though it wasn't large, the earnings were enough to live comfortably. He spent his days socializing with all sorts of people, was smooth in dealing with others, and had friends everywhere. Life was good.

Probably because he drank too much last night, he had been lying in bed, half-dazed, reading a popular urban fantasy novel. Who would've thought that after falling asleep, he'd wake up inside the damn book?!

This novel was a chaotic mix of urban fantasy tropes: the return of a god-tier soldier, a despised son-in-law becoming a dragon king, a miraculous doctor, a billionaire through system rewards, a sneering dragon king with a crooked mouth… Every single protagonist in the book treated Lin Han, the villain, as a stepping stone for their rise to power.

In the end, Lin Han met a tragic fate—his family destroyed, his loved ones lost. It was downright pitiful.

And let's not even talk about how the novel's trash author described him:

A gloomy aura, sinister gaze, cold tone, dark heart, despicable methods, treacherous actions. Even his name, Han (寒), literally meant "cold." This was a full-fledged, textbook villain!

He practically came with his own villainous theme music. All that was missing was a neon sign on his forehead flashing: "I'm the villain! Come kick my ass!"

Meanwhile, the protagonists had names like X Fan, X Xuan, X Chen, X Zhen—all with mysterious and tragic backgrounds. They were either born into poverty or had their parents sacrificed for some divine reason. You just knew they were destined for greatness.

As soon as the story started, every top-tier beauty in the novel would throw themselves at them like they'd lost their minds. The villains would line up neatly in order of power, just waiting to be crushed one by one. Money would flow into their pockets like a waterfall, enemies would willingly turn into punching bags, and the background characters would mindlessly cheer "666!" the whole way. Absolute winners in life.

And Lin Han's identity?

The eldest direct descendant of the Lin family in the Imperial Capital—the sole heir of his generation, and the future head of the family!

His father was a high-ranking official with immense power. His mother came from an elite family with boundless wealth. His grandfather? One of the five most powerful figures in the entire country!

Every relative in his family was a top-tier figure in their respective fields. Each one more badass than the last. Simply put, his entire family was overpowered beyond belief.

On top of that, he was engaged to the Imperial Capital's top-tier socialite, the precious daughter of the Luo family—Luo Bingyan!

His status was flawless from every angle. A walking, breathing golden thigh—no, a golden god-tier thigh encrusted with 108 diamonds!

But anyone with a brain could see it: this kind of background existed solely to be EXP fodder for the protagonist! If his ending wasn't tragic, it would defy the laws of the universe.

"I swear, I wanna strangle that damn author!"

Knock, knock, knock.

The sound of knocking interrupted Lin Han's increasingly frustrated thoughts.

"Come in."

A group of black-clad bodyguards, who looked every bit like lackeys, entered carrying an enormous sack made of rough burlap. Carefully, they placed it on his four-meter-wide luxury velvet bed.

"What the hell is this?"

Lin Han walked over, utterly baffled.

He poked the sack. The thing inside was soft and had a bit of elasticity, kind of like a balloon filled with warm water. The sensation was oddly pleasant.

"Uh…"

The bodyguards exchanged awkward glances. The leader, Old Six, cleared his throat and said, "Young Master, didn't you order us to kidnap Luo Bingyan? We've brought her to you."

Lin Han: "???"

Only then did he remember—this was something the original Lin Han had done before he transmigrated.

The previous Lin Han had been obsessed with Luo Bingyan, but after failing to win her over, he had resorted to kidnapping her out of sheer desperation.

Lin Han frowned, deep in thought.

If this were just a simple kidnapping, it wouldn't be too hard to handle. But he knew the full story—this was a carefully orchestrated trap!

Who was Luo Bingyan?

The beloved granddaughter of Old Master Luo, the most pampered little princess of the Luo family!

Although the Luo family was a tier below the Lin family, if Old Master Luo found out Lin Han had tried to force himself on her, he'd risk his life to seek justice!

And the mastermind behind this setup?

The first protagonist in the novel—the returning war god, Ye Fan!

Right now, Ye Fan was just a lowly security guard at Luo Bingyan's company. But if he had really wanted to stop the kidnapping, there was no way Old Six and his men could've succeeded.

Ye Fan was deliberately baiting the trap.

Soon, he'd swoop in like a hero, staging a dramatic rescue.

Here's how it would go:

While Old Six was kidnapping Luo Bingyan, Ye Fan secretly planted a tracker on him.

After Luo Bingyan woke up, Ye Fan would arrive like a divine warrior, absolutely wrecking the bodyguards.

Just as Lin Han got desperate and pulled a gun on him, Ye Fan would intentionally take a non-fatal shot for extra sympathy points.

Right on cue, Old Master Luo would show up, protect Ye Fan, and turn against the Lin family.

Result?

Ye Fan not only trampled Lin Han, but also gained Luo Bingyan's affection, secured a powerful connection with the Luo family, and turned the two families against each other.

A quadruple win.

Meanwhile, Lin Han?

Completely screwed. He hadn't even done anything yet, and he was already the perfect scapegoat.

Lin Han exhaled sharply, waving his hand to dismiss the bodyguards.

The men hesitated before leaving, glancing at each other in confusion.

Something was off.

Wasn't the young master supposed to throw back his head and cackle "Kekekeke!" at the sight of Luo Bingyan?

Why did he look so stressed instead?

Lin Han sat back down, deep in thought.

This was his first time being a villain—it was a lot to take in.

No. He had to do something.

The trap had already been sprung. If he just let it play out, he'd be completely doomed.

Luo Bingyan—the biggest ticking time bomb—was right beside him. He couldn't let her say a word about the kidnapping.

Ding!

The voice in his head caught Lin Han off guard, but a grin soon spread across his face.

Just now, he'd been debating whether to go with the flow and enjoy what little time he had left…

Or rewrite the script using his knowledge of the novel.

Now, with the system's arrival…

He had his answer.

Fine. A villain? So be it.

Since these protagonists wanted to ruin his life, then he'd just send them all to hell first!

And hey… if he remembered correctly, every protagonist had a bunch of stunning wives, didn't they?

Heh.

Lin Han's lips curled into a knowing smile.
