Waking up as the villain is bad enough.
Waking up as this villain is a death sentence.

When domineering CEO Xiao Yu’an opens his eyes, he finds himself in the body of a doomed emperor in a third-rate stallion novel—a.k.a. the villain who imprisons the righteous protagonist Yan Heqing and dies a gruesome death for it.

Not on his watch.

Armed with knowledge of the plot and a strong will to stay alive, Xiao sets out to rewrite his fate. Instead of cruelty, he offers kindness. Instead of power games, he offers friendship. After all, Yan is supposed to build a grand harem and rise to greatness—Xiao’s just here to support him… from a safe distance.

But as fate unfolds, nothing goes according to plan. The story still hurtles toward war, conquest, and betrayal. And Xiao finds himself tangled in misunderstandings, overly helpful courtiers, and a very conflicting relationship with the man he’s supposed to fear.

How to Survive as a Villain is a laugh-out-loud danmei transmigration comedy full of political twists, emotional confusion, and a very reluctant villain who might just become the hero of his own story.

High schooler Lin Feiran has a very antagonistic relationship with his dormmate, Gu Kaifeng… That is, until Lin Feiran suddenly develops the ability to see ghosts. Since Gu Kaifeng’s high level of yang energy keeps spirits at bay, Lin Feiran finds himself forced to stick to his once-nemesis like glue. Gu Kaifeng quickly becomes smitten, so Lin Feiran must keep up the relationship charade if he wants to keep his ghost repellent around.
