The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System: Ren Zha Fanpai Zijiu Xitong (Novel) Vol. 2

The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System: Ren Zha Fanpai Zijiu Xitong (Novel) Vol. 2

The blockbuster danmei/Boys' Love novels from China that inspired the animated Scumbag System series streaming in English! This comedic tale of a man reborn as a villain in a fantasy novel series who ends up romancing the male protagonist is now in English, for the very first time! Half-demon Luo Binghe rose from humble beginnings and a tortured past to become unrivaled in strength and beauty. With his harem of over three hundred wives, and dominion over both the human and demonic realms, he is truly the most powerful protagonist--in a trashy web novel series! At least, that's what Shen Yuan, online alias "Peerless Cucumber," believes as he finishes reading the final chapter in Proud Immortal Demon Way. But when a combination of rage and a poor meal choice leads to his death, Shen Yuan finds himself reborn into the world of the web novel, in the body of Shen Qingqiu--the beautiful but cruel teacher to a young Luo Binghe. Although as Shen Qingqiu, he now has incredible power and abilities as a cultivator, he's destined to be horrifically punished for crimes against the protagonist, so this new Shen Qingqiu has only one course of action: get into Luo Binghe's good graces before the young man's rise to power. That's the only way he'll escape the awful fate of a true scum villain! This fantasy (xianxia) comedy built around the romanticized love between two men (danmei) was the first series by Mo Xiang Tong Xiu to spur a global multimedia franchise, followed by her later blockbusters Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation and Heaven Official's Blessing. The Seven Seas English-language edition will include exclusive, all-new covers and interior illustrations from Xiao Tong Kong (Velinxi) and feature a translation by Faelicy (faelicy) & Lily (lily_ocho).

THINGS ARE GETTING HEATED!!! LETS GO LETSGO!!!!

after reading this i realize kalo volume sebelumnya itu lebih ke introduction aja sekaligus konflik kecil-kecil to familiarize with the settings & characters. yang volume ini? muah. i love it so much.

i love fictional men being possessive, having soft-spot, and being a simp only for someone he loves ♡-♡

agak kocak soalnya ngeliat hampir setengah novel isinya nunjukin si qingqiu ngambil kesimpulan dari setiap kejadian suka ngawur… tapi di sisi lain ngerti juga kenapa dia selalu begitu since kalo diliat dari perspektif dia yang taunya novel yang dia baca itu stallion novel for male fantasy, jelas aja gak akan kepikiran genrenya mendadak jadi BL T-T (poor qingqiu)

“One party wanted to meet but couldn’t, and so had clung to a corpse for five years. The other party avoided the first like the plague but still felt like he ran into him a great deal.”

Gentlemen, bear this in mind: When history is officially recorded, it's often whitewashed or embellished, the actual facts purposefully withheld, and many times the unofficial version is the truth.
