I want to create a kingdom where life is as convenient as I wish it to be. A comfortable world where everyone can laugh and enjoy their lives as much as possible. That's what I truly and honestly want. Ideals without strength are nonsense, and strength without ideals is empty, right? I'm a greedy guy, but I don't have an interest in seeking strength just for the sake of power, without the ambition to do something with it. But... "What are you saying? I'm the mastermind of the war between Dragons and Humans?" "Yes, Your Majesty. At that time..." "What are you saying? I am the mastermind of the Demon Race invading the central continent?" "Yes, Your Majesty. At that time..."

I can't do this anymore I'm sorry, I'm quitting I just can't handle it no more, I need rest, loads of rest

"Pay my brother's $100,000 debt, or the wedding is off!" After seven years of bleeding himself dry for his fiancée, Ethan Vance was brutally dumped at the altar for a billionaire playboy. Humiliated and left with nothing, Ethan stumbled into the wrong hotel room—and straight into the arms of Victoria Sterling, the city's ruthless, untouchable billionaire Ice Queen. Drugged and desperate to escape a forced marriage to an underworld boss, Victoria makes Ethan an offer he can't refuse: "Marry me for one year, and I'll give you ten million dollars." She thought she was buying a convenient shield—a docile, broke doctor who would stay out of her way. But what she didn't know was that the ultimate betrayal had awakened an ancient, terrifying bloodline within him. Ethan Vance wasn't just a discarded doctor. He was the sole heir to a legendary medical and martial arts lineage—a Sovereign whose true power could make the world's wealthiest families tremble.

Once, Ethan Ashford gave everything for the woman he loved. In return, she betrayed him. Veronica Harrington secretly gave the resources she took from Ethan to her lover, Damien Blackwood, the so-called Chosen One, the Protagonist, the Child of Luck, or whatever else. While Damien and other protagonists took countless "fortuitous encounters" to become the world's heroes, Ethan became the villain everyone despised. Betrayed and tortured, his family was destroyed, his bloodline exterminated, and he died filled with hatred and regret. But fate wasn't finished with him. Ethan awakened a hundred years in the past, before every tragedy began. And that too with a heaven-defying System, called the Villain System, that could give him rewards for changing his own destiny and destroying these protagonists' fortunes. This time, Ethan knew every opportunity the Chosen Ones would obtain, every scheme hidden in the shadows, and every betrayal waiting for him. Did the Divine Healer descend from the mountains? "I'll steal his inheritance." Is the King of Soldiers returning to reclaim his glory? "I'll crush him before he even rises." The destined Son of Fortune? The Heavenly Genius? The Peerless Sword Saint? I'll take every one of their opportunities and leave them with nothing. "As for the heroines who once stood beside those protagonists... If they deserve redemption, they'll stand by my side instead. If they choose my enemies, they'll share their fate." In this life, Ethan would no longer be the stepping stone beneath the protagonists' feet. He would become the nightmare that hunts every Chosen One. After all... "Who says villains are destined to lose?"

"Three jobs. Endless sacrifices. A dying father. Yet my wife emptied our savings for her secret lover. When the hospital demanded another $800,000, she looked me in the eyes and said coldly: 'Sell your kidney. You only need one.' Desperate, I went to the underground broker. During the examination, an old professor saw the jade pendant around my neck... and suddenly knelt before me. Now everything has changed. The same hospital that wanted to throw my father out... now belongs to someone they never expected. And tomorrow, my cheating wife will walk in with her lover — ready to mock the 'worthless husband.' She has no idea what she's about to face."

His mother was abandoned, left to rot in a storage room. His blind sister had been sold as a gift to powerful men. And the woman he sacrificed everything for stood laughing beside her new lover. "My future is worth more than your entire family," Olivia sneered. Something inside Kevin died that day. But what Olivia didn't know was that prison hadn't broken him—it had transformed him. The desperate prisoner she mocked was secretly the last disciple of a legendary master. The same man now held the favor of billionaires, business empires, and the most powerful figures in the country. Holding his dying mother in his arms, Kevin made a vow. "You took everything from me." His eyes turned cold. "Now I'll take everything from you." They betrayed a son. They sold a sister. They created the billionaire who would become their downfall.
