The Villain’s Brain Short-Circuited
The wildly popular YY wish-fulfillment novel Chronicles of Defying Fate took the internet by storm with its protagonist Lu Yuan’s dark counterattack story. Enduring hardship and lying low, he was framed by his master and cast into an abyss. After unlocking his foreign realm bloodline, he turned completely dark, slaughtering all his enemies, and ultimately became the overlord unifying all domains. His master Gu Qingheng, however, was the most tragic villainous sacrifice in the book—tortured in captivity for three years before being shot dead with an arrow.
Gu Lin, a long-time devoted reader, finished the novel only to be infuriated by the author’s padded plot, botched ending, and collapsed characterizations, dying from choking in a fit of rage. When he opened his eyes, he had transmigrated into the body of Gu Qingheng, the villainous master fated to a brutal death.
In the original novel, Gu Qingheng was a scumbag who envied his disciple’s unparalleled talent and humiliated him at every turn, a mere stepping stone on Lu Yuan’s path to darkness. After transmigration, Gu Lin’s only goal was to defy fate and escape the ending of being tortured and shot to death. He cast aside the original body’s malice, abandoned his cold demeanor, and raised the young Lu Yuan with a protective, doting attitude. He exposed the conspiracies hidden in the original work and fixed its broken plot logic.
But he never anticipated that his mere desire to survive had derailed the novel’s dark main storyline entirely: the mad disciple who was supposed to kill his master cold-bloodedly became his loyal, ever-present companion; the forces of various domains that should have been his enemies turned into his protectors; and a bond transcending master and disciple quietly blossomed between him and Lu Yuan.
