I Quit Being The Villain Novel

Gu Xia transmigrated into a fantasy world, cursed to embody a villain with a predetermined tragic fate. For countless lifetimes, he was a mere pawn within the novel "The Emperor of Luck," ensnared by a system that offered empty promises of reward, only to deliver despair. Each cycle concluded identically: a crushing defeat by the protagonist, leading inevitably to his death. However, after a thousand failed attempts and a system malfunction, Gu Xia reached his breaking point. He had endured enough. He refused to be bound by the preordained narrative, by the protagonist's inevitable victory, and most definitively, by his role as the villain. With a mental cry of defiance, Gu Xia announced his revolt. He would no longer be the villain; he rejected the plot, the heroines, the protagonist, and everyone else involved.
