You’re Supposed To Be The Villain, But You Effortlessly Win Over The Female Leads?

Chapter 65:

When the first episode aired, the production team brought in a TV and gathered everyone to watch it together.

Due to Jiang Feng’s live streams and the clips that had leaked, the ratings for Metamorphosis had skyrocketed.

Many viewers had gathered in front of their TVs well before the show began.

Those who weren’t near a TV held their phones, eagerly waiting for the live stream.

At 8 o’clock sharp, the show began.

It opened with introductions of the rural children.

Grandma was overjoyed when her granddaughter appeared on the screen.

“That’s my granddaughter!” she exclaimed excitedly. “It’s such a pity my daughter’s working in town now. I wonder if she’s watching this.”

“Don’t worry,” someone replied. “You can watch anything online these days.”

“True,” Grandma sighed. “But I still wonder how my granddaughter is doing in your house. She’s never been away from me for so long, and it’s already been a week…”

Amid Grandma’s nostalgic rambling, the feature film began.

The first person to appear was Jiang Nan.

Dressed in a white shirt and sitting in a study, he held a book, giving off the impression of a studious and warm-hearted young man.

The subtitle introduction read:

[Jiang Nan, top student at a prestigious middle school in City C.]

They even added a glowing light effect around him, making him look like the protagonist of a TV drama.

In his previous life, this was precisely why so many fans had fallen for Jiang Nan.

He had garnered a massive following as people saw him as a gentle and caring big brother.

As a result, the original owner of Jiang Feng’s role was criticized by the entire internet, with everyone siding with Jiang Nan.

Sure enough, the live chat was soon flooded with comments praising Jiang Nan.

[Wow, such a handsome and gentle big brother! This is like an idol drama!]

[Jiang Nan… what a lovely name!]

[I love him already! I’ve heard Metamorphosis got two handsome guys this season, and I’ve been waiting for this. I love this gentle big brother type!]

These comments made Jiang Nan feel a surge of satisfaction from head to toe.

It was as if he’d just gulped down an ice-cold beer on a sweltering summer day—his exhaustion from the past few days seemed to vanish in an instant.

All the frustrations he had faced suddenly felt worth it.

The audience clearly had discerning eyes.

They knew who truly deserved to be their favorite.

Jiang Feng?

Ha!

There was no comparison.

…

Soon, the show broadcasted the scene where Jiang Nan woke Jiang Feng up.

This was Jiang Feng’s first appearance on the program.

He was shown with messy hair and an irritated expression, which made Bai Qingqing burst into laughter.

“Hahahahaha! You totally deserve that!” she said, unable to contain herself.

“Why are you laughing?” Jiang Feng grumbled.

“Sorry, I couldn’t help it! It’s your hair…”

Over the past few days, Bai Qingqing had grown closer to Jiang Feng.

She had started to understand his personality a bit better.

He was a straightforward person—brutally honest at times—but simple and principled. Though he acted tough, he had a soft heart.

The more time she spent with him, the more she realized that getting along with Jiang Feng was easy.

There was no need to worry about him playing mind games or plotting behind your back. If he had a problem with you, he’d confront you directly.

When Jiang Feng grumbled to the show’s crew, “You’re so annoying,” it was shown alongside a shot of Jiang Nan looking aggrieved.

The live chat once again erupted with criticism.

[Wow, this Jiang Feng is so rude! Everyone knows the show starts early. Why is he acting so lazy?]

[Exactly! If my kid acted like this, I’d be furious!]

[Poor Jiang Nan…]

These comments made Jiang Nan’s grin stretch so wide it nearly reached his ears.

He turned to Jiang Feng with a smug look.

“Xiao Feng, don’t be upset that the audience likes me more,” he said, barely concealing his satisfaction. “As long as you work on these flaws, they’ll forgive you. They won’t hate you forever.”

Jiang Feng stared at him, unimpressed.

“…Are you okay?” he muttered.

Bai Qingqing rolled her eyes so hard it was a miracle they didn’t get stuck.

Next to her, Aunt Li shot Jiang Nan an irritated glare.

“Xiao Feng is perfectly likable!” she snapped. “What’s wrong with sleeping in a bit during the holidays? Why do you need to wake up so early?”

In Aunt Li’s mind, Jiang Feng could do no wrong.

He had become her favorite, and everything he did was right.

“Hey, Grandma,” Jiang Nan responded, still trying to act superior. “I know you like Xiao Feng, but he’ll have to face the real world someday. People notice his flaws, and I just want to help him improve. I’m his older brother—I’m doing this for his own good.”

“Ha ha.” Jiang Feng responded, unconvinced.

“Brother, you’re really looking out for me,” he added sarcastically.

“Get lost,” he finished.

As the two continued to bicker, one particular comment in the live chat stood out:

[Are you all serious? Anyone praising Jiang Nan must have been paid by him. He’s such a hypocritical villain! Are you stuck in the past? Ever heard of live streams? Jiang Nan is just the son of the mistress, acting all high and mighty in front of the rightful heir. If I were Jiang Feng, I’d take a sack and beat him up.]

The room fell into an awkward silence.

Jiang Nan’s face immediately turned pale.
