Rebirth: The Villainous Young Master in a Novel

Chapter 002: The Villain Counterattack System

———

“Ah…”

At this thought, he let out a startled cry, almost pulling down his pants in front of the beautiful doctor to check.

In this day and age, rebirth wasn’t anything special, and being reborn as a wealthy young master was a huge bonus. But being reborn into the world of his own novel? What kind of nonsense was that?

He had read so many rebirth novels, but none of them had a plot like this!

What devastated him the most was that his current identity was actually the villainous young master from his own novel! A character he had written to be incredibly unlucky, miserable, and pathetic. This was worse than killing him!

Seeing him scream hysterically, Shen Xiaoyan couldn’t help but widen her beautiful almond-shaped eyes and mutter, “It seems like he really did hit his head and go crazy.”

At that moment, the door to the hospital room was pushed open with a bang, and six or seven people rushed in.

“Ah Cheng!”

The woman at the forefront hurried over and sat down on the edge of the bed. She grabbed his shoulders and examined him carefully, her eyes reddening as she said, “My child, how could something like this happen? I was so worried. If anything had happened to you, how could I go on living?”

As she spoke, her voice choked up, and tears began to spill from her reddened eyes.

Looking at the elegant and dignified woman in front of him, he could almost immediately determine that this was the mother of the villainous young master, Ji Jing.

“Ah Jing, don’t worry. I just heard the doctor’s report. Ah Cheng is out of danger now and just needs some time to recover,” said a tall, middle-aged man in a well-tailored shirt and suit. He had a faint mustache and neatly combed black hair, exuding the image of a refined gentleman.

Shen Guotao, Shen Xiaoyan’s father, chairman of Qingmao Medical Group, a conglomerate with nearly a hundred large medical institutions and over ten thousand employees. He was a renowned figure in the private medical industry in the country!

The Qingmao Hospital he was currently in was one of Shen Guotao’s properties.

Just as he had described in his novel, the characters matched perfectly!

In an instant, he made a judgment: Shen Guotao was undoubtedly part of the villainous faction in the novel.

Shen Guotao glanced at him a few times, then turned to Shen Xiaoyan and asked, “Xiaoyan, is that right?”

Shen Xiaoyan hesitated before nodding, then pointed to her head, indicating that Young Master Song had some minor issues with his brain.

“Then let the doctors run a full check-up. It shouldn’t be a big problem,” Shen Guotao said with a wave of his hand, summoning a group of experts for a diagnosis.

He wanted to say that he was perfectly fine, but under Ji Jing’s concerned gaze, he had no choice but to go along with it to avoid causing more trouble.

After a thorough examination, the doctors concluded that everything was normal and that his symptoms might be due to the aftereffects of a concussion.

“No illness, no disaster, all is well,” Shen Guotao said with a cheerful smile, his words smooth and pleasant to the ear. “Ah Jing, since Ah Cheng is fine now, let him rest. I happen to have some matters to discuss with you.”

Ji Jing, however, wanted to stay by her son’s side.

“Um… Mom, I’m fine now. I just want to rest for a while,” he reluctantly accepted this sudden mother figure.

“Well… alright. I’ll have the nurse wait outside. Call if you need anything,” Ji Jing finally agreed, softly instructing him before leaving the room with the others.

Before leaving, Shen Xiaoyan gave him a puzzled glance, as if she sensed that something was off about the young master after he woke up. But she couldn’t quite put her finger on what it was.

Of course, the look in her eyes was still mostly filled with disdain and disgust.

He was well aware of how the heroine, Shen Xiaoyan, viewed him. The despicable things he had done in the past were too numerous to mention, and he had even harassed Shen Xiaoyan on multiple occasions.

Fortunately, Shen Xiaoyan, as he had written her, possessed the compassionate heart of a healer. Otherwise, if he had fallen into her hands, he might have ended up even more injured!

If this were a typical novel, the reborn young master would undoubtedly turn over a new leaf, strive to improve himself, and win back the heroine’s heart through various intentional or unintentional actions, transforming her from disgust to love, and eventually making her a member of his harem!

But the problem was, the world he had been reborn into was the world of his own novel, and the protagonist wasn’t him. How could he stage a counterattack now?!

Not to mention, he had already been secretly rendered impotent by the protagonist!

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Song Shicheng pulled down his pants for a quick look. At first glance, everything seemed normal, but in reality, several key acupuncture points had been targeted with silver needles, ensuring he would never be able to perform again.

Of course, the protagonist had done this very discreetly, so discreetly that even the doctors hadn’t detected it. If it weren’t for the fact that he was the author of the novel, he would have been completely in the dark.

“I must be the unluckiest person among all those who’ve been reborn. Others might face a hard mode, but I’ve been dealt such a bad hand that it’s practically unplayable!” Song Shicheng thought in despair. If he had known this would happen, why had he written his character to be so miserable?

Thinking about the protagonist’s “exceptional medical skills,” Song Shicheng couldn’t help but shudder.

While authors and readers might find it satisfying to see the villain get brutally humiliated, when you become the villain yourself, who would want to continue suffering like this? Even authors who enjoy torturing their protagonists wouldn’t go this far!

Just as he was drowning in sorrow, a sleek virtual interface suddenly appeared before his eyes, accompanied by a mechanical voice…

“Villain Counterattack System has selected a character. Binding in progress… 10%, 20%, 50%, 100%. Binding successful! Villain Counterattack System officially activated!”

What was this? Could it be the legendary rebirth gift package: a system cheat?!

Song Shicheng was once again stunned, but having already experienced rebirth, his adaptability was quite high. Once he regained his composure, he began to study the system.

The interface had four options:

**[Luck]**: 7
**[Missions]**: None
**[Items]**: Empty
**[Shop]**: Locked

The interface was simple and easy to understand, but what did “Luck” mean?

As he pondered this, a pop-up window appeared: Luck is relative. The original protagonist of the novel world has a Luck value of 100. If the villain wishes to counterattack, they must weaken the protagonist’s Luck while increasing their own.

Hmm… Song Shicheng roughly understood.

To put it simply, the protagonists of most novels are blessed with overwhelming luck. For example, falling off a cliff but learning a peerless martial art, being plain-looking but winning the affection of a goddess, or inadvertently doing something small but gaining the favor of a master.

This is what is known as “Luck.”

As for the villains in novels, their treatment is the exact opposite. For instance, being tall, rich, and handsome but despised by the goddess, trying to show off but always ending up embarrassed, or attempting to achieve great things but always screwing up and dragging others down.

Looking at his own Luck value of 7, it certainly fit the role of a villain.

While it was true that the protagonist’s strong Luck was something both authors and readers agreed on, now that he had become the villain, he obviously couldn’t accept such treatment anymore.

Even if it meant destroying the protagonist he had created with his own hands, he absolutely could not allow himself to be humiliated and tortured any further.

Song Shicheng quickly made up his mind.
