Chapter 1: Transmigrating as the Protagonist’s Father! Starting with Seven Gorgeous Daughters
“I’ve transmigrated… into a novel world…”
Inside a luxurious, grand office, a handsome middle-aged man with mature charm sat in an office chair, his eyes filled with complexity and a look of astonishment.
After a long moment, Xu Hao had no choice but to accept a fact.
He had transmigrated into the world of a recently read urban war god novel…
He had suddenly become a billionaire, standing at the peak of his life right from the start…
He didn’t have much time to live.
Because he was the villain in the book, the stepping stone for the protagonist.
Thinking about his fate, Xu Hao felt a pang of frustration.
Why did he transmigrate as the protagonist’s malicious father?
That’s right… he had become the father of the protagonist in the novel.
Apart from the protagonist, he also had seven stunningly beautiful daughters, who were the protagonist’s older sisters.
The dramatic part was—none of them were his biological daughters…
And he was a eunuch, unable to engage in any sexual activity.
He married a beautiful wife and adopted a child every year to cover up his true condition.
The storyline was obvious to anyone who understood it.
Seven stunning sisters, plus a beautiful stepmother—didn’t that create enough excitement?
Though Xu Hao noticed that later in the novel, the protagonist never seemed to end up with any of the women…
Everything was just to build anticipation.
“I’m surrounded by beautiful women, but I won’t touch any of them. I’m a eunuch, heh!”
But from the protagonist’s thoughts, it was clear—
He was undoubtedly a rebellious son, targeting his sisters and stepmother…
So here’s the question:
In a family where, apart from the protagonist, he was the only man,
How could the protagonist’s harem have any relations with other men?
So the author gave him the role of a eunuch.
[a man who has been castrated, especially (in the past) one employed to guard the women’s living areas in an Asian court.]
Because he couldn’t have any sexual relations, he became irritable, often shouting at his wife and being indifferent to his daughters.
He was the quintessential villain…
The ending was predictable: the protagonist would avenge justice by killing him.
A villainous father, a son who killed him, and who even took his sisters and stepmother—how could such a person be the protagonist?
And yet, the protagonist in the novel was extremely powerful.
He was the leader of the Dark World’s Heavenly God Temple, commanding a hundred thousand soldiers, skilled in many arts.
He was the typical all-powerful, unbeatable hero.
The plot started with him showing off, humiliating everyone, and killing anyone who opposed him…
The only thing Xu Hao was relieved about was—
He had transmigrated two and a half years before the plot began.
He had time to prepare for the arrival of the protagonist, the war god.
Facing the protagonist, who commanded a hundred thousand soldiers and was practically invincible,
Even if Xu Hao quadrupled his current wealth, it wouldn’t help.
As for when the protagonist returned, offering all his wealth, wife, and daughters in exchange for mercy…
Xu Hao didn’t dare to bet on the protagonist being merciful.
So… his only option was death?
【Ding… Host’s memories awakening, activating the villain emotional system…】
A cold, mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
Xu Hao felt a stir in his heart.
Having read countless web novels, he, of course, knew about the essential “golden finger” every transmigrator had— a system.
“System, what are your functions?”
【Collect emotions from people carrying the luck of fate, including but not limited to happiness, anger, sadness, joy… Emotional points can be used for system lottery…】
After a brief exchange, Xu Hao understood how the system worked.
It was simple and direct.
There were no complicated tasks; just gather emotions and try your luck.
Moments later, Xu Hao found himself in a dilemma.
Those carrying fate’s luck were essentially the protagonist and the female lead…
The protagonist would not appear for another two and a half years.
And in the novel, there were only about ten people who were considered the female leads.
Among them were his seven stunningly beautiful daughters.
The plot was filled with the protagonist showing off and building strong brotherly bonds…
Who the hell wanted to watch a romance with you?
At this point, Xu Hao wished the protagonist were a playboy so he could have more choices.
But now, aside from his daughters, there were only a few female leads.
Even if he tried to win them all, would he stand a chance against the unbeatable protagonist in two and a half years?
Did he have to be crazy enough to target his daughters?
Hmm… but they were all adopted.
【Ding… Newbie gift package granted, would you like to open it?】
The system’s notification sounded again.
Xu Hao’s eyes brightened, temporarily putting aside his thoughts and choosing to open it without hesitation.
【Ding... Congratulations, Host, you’ve received the Villain Aura…】
(Villain Aura: Ignore the protagonist’s luck, unaffected by intelligence reduction, and immune to luck backlash.)
Avoiding Doing Ridiculous Things When Facing the Protagonist in the Future
And it would be even better if he didn’t have to worry about backlash from fate.
In his previous life, Xu Hao had read many villain-focused novels.
The usual trope was that the protagonist carried the luck of fate and couldn’t be killed directly, or else the villain would suffer backlash from that luck…
Even though the villain had enough strength, he had to watch the protagonist run around unharmed, which was frustrating as hell.
The dumbass authors made it sound like it was part of the plot, but in reality, it was just a way to stretch the word count…
【Ding… Host detected with natural flaw, system has successfully healed it…】
Xu Hao closed his eyes and felt it for a moment. After a brief pause, a smile appeared on his face.
Considering his worth of billions, he could barely accept being transmigrated into the body of a man over fifty.
But he couldn’t accept the fact that he was a eunuch…
Now, with the cloud of gloom lifted, he smiled for the first time.
【Ding… Congratulations, Host, you have gained 10 points of free attributes…】
(These points can be freely distributed. You can check the panel for details.)
Xu Hao focused his thoughts, and a transparent attribute panel appeared in front of him.
Identity: Destiny Villain, Head of Xu Corporation
Strength: 11 (Average person: 10)
Physique: 12 (Average person: 10)
Mentality: 13 (Average person: 10)
Xu Hao carefully looked over the panel, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.
Perhaps because he often worked out and had high energy, his strength and physique were slightly above average.
As the head of a company worth billions, and having survived the political intrigues of the business world, his mental strength was naturally higher too.
“Deep Blue… oh no, System… add points.”
Without hesitation, Xu Hao allocated all his free attribute points to Strength.
A wave of warmth spread through his limbs, and he felt a pleasant, soothing sensation throughout his body.
Then, a surge of power suddenly exploded within him.
He clenched his fist, feeling the power coursing through him effortlessly, without any discomfort.
Xu Hao’s eyes sparkled with a new light.
Now that his body was in good shape, he might as well take care of his stunning wife, the protagonist’s beautiful stepmother…
