I Don’t Want To Be A Villain - Chapter 1
Beauty, who are you? ”
Tang Mingxi stared at the mirror for a full five minutes. After confirming that the androgynous beauty in the mirror was himself, he couldn’t help but ask again, “Beauty, who are you?”
“Second Young Master…”
The nanny, Auntie Wang, carefully pulled Tang Mingxi out of his confused state.
He looked down at his slender, beautiful body with tears in his eyes. His six-pack abs were gone.
Then he looked up at the unfamiliar room. The exquisite chandelier and the handmade cashmere carpet were filled with an aura of extravagance, decadence and love. Outside the window it was snowing heavily- it was still summer last night.
Auntie Wang thought that Tang Mingxi was still angry because his husband Ye Heng had fought back, so she comforted him. “Second Young Master, calm down. Ye Heng didn’t know what was good for him and dared to fight back. You can punish him, but don’t hurt your body.”
When Tang Mingxi heard this name, the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but twitch.
The truth was right in front of him. He had to admit that he had transmigrated.
He had even transmigrated to a novel he had read before and become the cannon fodder ex-wife with the same name as him.
That’s right, he was a cannon fodder, and Ye Heng was the male lead of “The Best Son-in-Law in the City”.
In the novel, Ye Heng was a fox who pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger, a demon who killed without batting an eyelid, and a male lead who was more of a villain than the original villain.
And he was the cannon fodder ex-wife who beat and scolded the male lead in the early stages of this male lead’s counterattack. In the end, he died without a grave.
Tang Mingxi remembered that one second he was having a drink with a client, and the next second he was transported to this novel he had read before.
In the original novel, Ye Heng, the legitimate son of the Ye family, the richest family in the capital of Yunjing – or even the country – lost a power struggle with his mother. He brought his seriously ill sister with him and was exiled to Ningcheng in the south. On the verge of death, he was saved by Old Master Tang.
To repay Old Master Tang for saving his life, Ye Heng concealed his identity and agreed to become the Tang family’s son-in-law. A year ago, he became engaged to Tang Mingxi.
Originally, he thought that after getting engaged to Tang Mingxi, he would be able to get expensive treatment for his sister. Who knew that Old Master Tang would unfortunately die half a year later?
After the death of Old Master Tang, Tang Mingxi became even worse. Not only did he not know how to repay Old Master Tang’s kindness, he even saw Old Master Tang’s kindness as a way to humiliate him. After all, who could bear to marry a male “wife”?
So Tang Mingxi used Ye Heng’s seriously ill sister as a bargaining chip to threaten him. He humiliated Ye Heng, beat him, scolded him, and tortured him.
One can imagine the consequences of offending the male protagonist. It didn’t take long for Ye Heng to regain the identity of the legitimate son of the Ye family in Yunjing and seize power by force.
Now that he was in power, the first person to have bad luck would be him, Tang Mingxi!
At the end of the original novel, Tang Mingxi was in a miserable state. He was locked up in a small black room by Ye Heng and tortured.
In the end, he was thrown into a group of sharks and was bitten to death by thousands of sharks!
To say that he would be torn to pieces by five horses was a light punishment. This was simply … he had died without leaving any remains!
“Second Young Master, Second Young Master?” Auntie Wang’s voice rang out.
At that moment, Tang Mingxi’s back was already soaked with cold sweat.
This devilish beginning made Tang Mingxi roll his eyes and almost fall to the ground.
However, if he went back now, he would die. Since he was here, he might as well make the best of it.
Since he had transmigrated to become Tang Mingxi, he definitely couldn’t let his fate repeat itself.
“Where did you say Ye Heng was just now?” Tang Mingxi calmed down. He was so scared that his voice was a little hoarse.
Auntie Wang said, “Second Young Master, Ye Heng has been kneeling in the blizzard for a day and a night. Don’t worry, he’s kneeling in the courtyard. Without your order, no one dares to let him get up! ”
Tang Mingxi, who originally wanted to suck up to the male protagonist, was speechless.
Could this world still be good?
Yes, ever since Ye Heng married into the Tang family, he hadn’t had a good day.
Beating, scolding and humiliation were all common. Depriving him of food was considered a light punishment.
Last night, worried about his seriously ill sister in hospital, he sneaked out to see Ye Yue. Who knew that Tang Mingxi would find out and fly into a rage?
The two of them had a fight on the stairs. Tang Mingxi was born weak and only had a good appearance. How could he be Ye Heng’s match?
For the first time, Ye Heng fought back and pushed Tang Mingxi down the stairs. He hit the wall and fainted!
Auntie Wang still complained. “Ye Heng should look in the mirror and see what kind of person he is. He is just a son-in-law with no power or influence. He thinks he has the support of the Old Master’s last words and dares to control our Second Young Master. Isn’t it just that we’re usually a bit strict with him? Last time we hung him from the roof beam for three days and three nights and he still didn’t learn his lesson. We beat him and scolded him because he was wrong in the first place! ”
With every sentence Auntie Wang said, it was as if an invisible knife was being stabbed into Tang Mingxi’s chest.
After a few stabs, Tang Mingxi was on the verge of death. He held on to the bedside table and trembled as he spat out a wisp of his soul. He had completely given up on the idea of sucking up to the male protagonist.
Besides, according to Ye Heng’s cunning and clever personality in the original novel, if he tried to suck up to him, he might discover right away that “Tang Mingxi” had changed.
At that time, not only would Ye Heng want to kill him, but the Tang family would also kill him if they knew that he had taken over the Magpie Nest!
Thinking about this, Tang Mingxi sighed. My life is more bitter than a bitter melon.
“Auntie Wang.” Tang Mingxi interrupted Auntie Wang’s complaints. Thinking of the male protagonist kneeling in the courtyard, he imitated the original Tang Mingxi’s tone and said arrogantly, “Why is Ye Heng kneeling in the courtyard? Does he want Big Brother and the others to see him and say that I mistreated him?”
He thought to himself, “Hurry up and make the male protagonist stand up!
Auntie Wang patted her head. “Yes, yes, yes. Second Young Master, you are so thoughtful. This little b*tch is really full of tricks! I will go and bring him into the room to kneel down!”
Tang Mingxi: ? I didn’t mean that.
In less than a moment, Ye Heng was violently dragged by the servants and thrown into the room.
He had been kneeling for a long time and his knees were badly frozen. He lost his balance and fell to the floor.
“Dong!” Tang Mingxi, who was sorting out his memories, was startled awake.
Seeing the male protagonist of the original novel, Ye Heng, the person who wanted to kill him, Tang Mingxi would be lying if he said he wasn’t afraid.
When he thought of Ye Heng’s cruel methods, he almost rolled out of bed in fear. But in order to maintain his image, he could only suppress his fear.
But when he saw Ye Heng’s current appearance, even Tang Mingxi, who had read the original novel, couldn’t help but gasp.
Ye Heng’s eyes were gloomy and there was blood at the corner of his mouth. His exposed skin was pale white and bruises of various sizes were visible.
The young man was wearing only a thin sweater and had been kneeling in the snow for a day and a night. His lips were chapped and black, and one could only vaguely see his lost beauty.
Needless to say, when Tang Mingxi saw his face, his heart tightened. The young man’s body hadn’t grown yet, and his features were young and delicate. In the original novel, he was only 17 this year and had just got engaged to Tang Mingxi. He had to wait until he was an adult to marry Tang Mingxi.
And the day of their marriage would be the day of Tang Mingxi’s death in the original novel.
… Well, at least he had a year to think about getting a divorce and running away.
Tang Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief, but he still had a blank expression on his face.
Although Ye Heng was lying on the ground, he still had his head up. His overlong fringe covered his eyebrows, and his eyelashes, which were like crow feathers, trembled slightly. His pair of peach blossom eyes stared at Tang Mingxi calmly, like a cold, poisonous snake lurking in the darkness.
Tang Mingxi’s scalp went numb from his gaze. He could only feel that those eyes were filled with monstrous murderous intent and hatred.
The blizzard outside the window whistled and the cold wind raged. It was as sharp as a sword and covered the entire Tang family’s old residence with frost and snow.
Tang Mingxi’s room was clearly covered with a soft wool carpet. The boiling heat from the ground hit his face, making the room as warm as spring.
But at that moment, under Ye Heng’s cold gaze, Tang Mingxi’s heart sank.
