City: I Started As A Rich Second Generation Villain - Chapter 1 - Transmigrated into a Rich and Handsome Villain

【Villain System activating…】
【Activation complete…】
【Host detected…】
【Binding in progress…】

Gu Junqing, who had been in a deep slumber, heard a mechanical synthesized voice that jolted him awake from the endless darkness.

“Huh? Didn’t I die?” Gu Junqing was somewhat astonished.

He looked around and found himself in an extravagantly decorated large room. The bed beneath him felt soft and comfortable, the chandelier overhead exuded luxury and grandeur, and the Persian rug on the floor hinted at its hefty price tag.

Suddenly, Gu Junqing heard the same mechanical voice he had heard while unconscious.

【System binding complete. Distributing novel content.】

A flood of information surged into his mind, causing Gu Junqing to feel dizzy. It took him a while to gradually recover.

“Did I actually transmigrate into a cliché urban novel?” Gu Junqing pinched the bridge of his nose, speechless.

The transmitted information revealed that the world Gu Junqing had transmigrated into was a fusion of countless cliché urban novels. His role was the son of the head of the Gu family, the leading clan among the four great families of Luodu. This was the classic setup for a villain—an outstanding background, wealthy parents, and immense family fortune.

While others transmigrated as protagonists, he ended up as a villain—the kind who gets his assets and love interests stolen by the protagonist, doesn’t survive past chapter fifty, and exists solely to be humiliated by the protagonist’s show-off antics.

However, as he took in the luxurious surroundings, he thought that such an extravagant lifestyle wasn’t so bad. This dreamlike experience seemed like something only possible in fantasies, though maintaining it in the future wouldn’t be easy.

Gu Junqing got out of bed and surveyed the entire room. The space was roughly one hundred square meters, with furnishings and decorations exuding a lazy, indulgent style. He walked into the dressing room, which featured a full-length mirror.

He looked into the mirror.

The person reflected had eyes that seemed to capture the essence of heaven and earth—clear, devoid of impurities, yet unfathomably deep. His skin was as translucent as jade.

Soft strands of hair swept across his forehead, tracing elegant arcs in the air. His black hair contrasted with his pitch-black pupils, resembling sparkling obsidian—clear yet imbued with a gentle, watery softness. His complexion was exquisite and pale, like ancient jade—flawless, slightly transparent, with a cool, icy touch. His nose was delicate and straight, and his face was as flawless as a crown jewel.

White cufflinks and a neatly pressed British-style pinstripe shirt showcased his meticulous demeanor, perfectly accentuating his well-proportioned figure.

Standing at an ideal height, his body appeared slightly slender, clearly indicating a lack of regular exercise.

“Do handsome, wealthy guys like this still end up as simps nowadays?”

In his previous life, Gu Junqing had been nothing more than a diligent office worker—a man nearing thirty without a wife, with an ordinary appearance. His only hobby was reading novels, and he particularly enjoyed stories where the protagonist humiliated handsome, wealthy villains. Little did he expect that after collapsing from overwork and dying, he would end up in a world similar to his previous one, now playing the role of a handsome, wealthy villain.

“Ah, fate truly plays tricks on people. I wanted to be the chosen one, not the ultimate villain, damn it!” Gu Junqing sighed helplessly.

【Transmission complete. Distributing the newbie package now. Will you claim it?】

The mechanical voice he had heard while unconscious echoed once more in his mind.

“Huh, is this the standard system for transmigrators?” Gu Junqing murmured to himself.

“Claim it,” Gu Junqing said calmly after composing himself.

【Newbie package distributed: One dose of Physique Enhancement Potion, 1000 Villain Points】

Suddenly, a status panel appeared in his mind, startling Gu Junqing for a moment.

He opened the panel to take a look.

[Host: Gu Junqing]
[Age: 18 (Adult)]
[Combat Power: 4 (Average person: 5)]
[Charm: 90]
[Villain Luck: -100]
[Villain Points: 1000]
[Skills: Advanced Learning Ability; Intermediate Piano Skill; Intermediate English Skill; Intermediate Math Ability]
[Items: None]

The panel displayed various stats about Gu Junqing. A combat power of only four? Was he really that weak? Gu Junqing clicked his tongue in disbelief.

Still, it made sense. He was still in school, chauffeured to and from classes in luxury cars every day, with little to no exercise. However, thanks to his tall stature, handsome features, and privileged upbringing, his charm was undeniably higher than average.

Whether it was his family background, looks, or academic performance, Gu Junqing was considered the school heartthrob, with countless girls secretly harboring crushes on him.

“System, can you explain in detail what Villain Points are used for?” Gu Junqing asked curiously through his thoughts.

【This system is the Ultimate Villain System, designed to help villains defy fate. Villain Points are earned by suppressing the protagonist through various actions. These points can be exchanged for a wide range of items in the system shop, including cultivation levels, skills, and items. Villain Points can also be used to check the stats of protagonists and heroines.】

【Ding! Friendly reminder: Due to your innate luck traits, you are naturally despised by the chosen protagonists. You cannot avoid being hunted by them. Do not entertain the naive idea that staying out of their way will keep you safe.】

Just as Gu Junqing was thinking about avoiding the protagonists and staying far away from them, the system reminded him otherwise.

“So it seems there’s no escaping it. I was considering studying abroad to avoid them, but that won’t work. With my luck, some military king protagonist might just decide to eliminate me out of sheer annoyance. Foreign countries aren’t as safe as Xia Country, after all. There’s no room for recklessness,” Gu Junqing muttered in frustration.

“System, use the Physique Enhancement Potion,” Gu Junqing commanded after a moment of thought.

Suddenly, a warm current flowed through his body, and his originally frail physique began to strengthen noticeably.

Checking the panel again, his combat power, which had been only four, had multiplied tenfold, reaching forty—eight times the strength of an average person.

Not only had his body grown stronger, but his spirit felt more vibrant as well. The gloomy aura typically associated with villains had diminished significantly.

Gu Junqing carefully reflected on his current situation. He was currently studying at Tianlin High School.

Tianlin High was arguably the best high school in all of Jiangling City, and Gu Junqing ranked among the top in both academic performance and family background, with few able to rival him. However, even such a perfect man—tall, rich, and handsome—could lose his head over a woman.

His pursuit tactics were almost identical to those of a school bully from his past life—not only did he act as if he owned the world, but his approach was also incredibly rigid.

He not only forcefully tried to make the female lead his girlfriend but also prevented other men from getting close to her. A high-caliber man like him was inexplicably fixated on Murong Wan, showing no interest in any other woman.

Yet the female lead simply couldn’t stand Gu Junqing. After being completely won over by the male lead, she shamelessly exploited Gu Junqing’s affection and even ended up causing his death.

“This rich young master’s approach to chasing a girlfriend is way too rigid—even stiffer than my roommate from my past life who’d been dead for three days. He doesn’t even know how to use a little strategy,” Gu Junqing sighed, rubbing his forehead.

“But now that I’m here, I’ll finish what you couldn’t accomplish,” Gu Junqing sneered.

The information transmitted by the All-Worlds Villain System had already made him aware of just how tragic this villain’s future would be.

It resonated with him so deeply that his heart filled with disdain and hatred for those self-righteous protagonists.
