《Life of a Villain》Chapter 3: Villain
Advertisement
"Who am I, Lu An?"
With his gaze fixed on the ceiling, his mind processed all of the memories that had flooded over him. His memories led him to believe that the body belonged to a young boy named Lu An.
He had an unnatural expression on his face as a result of the memories he acquired about this world. It is the same Lu An who was the first person Fang Yan killed in the novel.
True, he was transported into the world of the novel he was reading. It's still difficult for him to believe he's been through something so magical, and not in a good way.
Transmigrated into the body of a Villian, who would be the first to be slaughtered. He recalled that after killing Lu An, Fang Yan wiped out the entire Lu family in the novel.
Andy stared at the ceiling for a long time as he lay on the ground, his expression showing he was still shocked.
Although he wanted to believe it was a dream, the pain he was experiencing at the time convinced him that it was not.
He couldn't believe he was in the same world he had read about in the book the day before.
Thinking about the book, it was nowhere to be found.
Until last night, he was still reading the book, but this morning he seems to have gotten sucked into it.
According to his memories, he was the Lu An, a wastrel young master of the Lu Family in the Blue Lord empire's Floating Valley city.
He sighed and closed his eyes as he took a trip through the memories. Even though it was unbelievable, this was the reality, and he had no choice but to accept it.
After a while, a teardrop slipped from the corner of his eyes and landed on his cheek.

As he opened his tear-filled eyes, he let out a sorrowful laugh as he mumbled, "I was an orphan without parents, you lived like an orphan even with the parents"
He now understood why Lu An smiled when he was about to die. Even though he was killed by a man, he must have been relieved to be free of a suffocating life.
His father had many children from multiple wives, and he was one of them. His own mother had five children, and he was the second-born among them.
In this world, people cultivate energy around them to become powerful.
Despite being born with a weak body, when he was five years old he was tested for cultivation. It was found that his meridians were ruptured, and his body was unable to cultivate.
When his family found out he could not cultivate, they abandoned him. And even his mother had stopped caring for him.
At a time when parents should spoil their children, he was left alone in this world.
It's a fantastical world where people can fly like Superman if they have the power. And power comes from cultivation.
They must cultivate in order to become powerful. In the eyes of cultivators, if you can't cultivate, you're the lowest of the low, and no one respects you.
As Lu An craved for love, he yearned for everyone's attention.
And to get everyone's attention, he started creating a nuisance; he got indulged in alcohol and sex.
As his frustration increased, he grew addicted to alcohol. His frequent visits to the pleasure palace made him an infamous dandy in the city.
His father was the clan's head, so he was no stranger to money.
Lu An's family arranged his marriage to a girl from the Shi clan. The Shi clan was a servant clan of the Lu family. The girl with whom he was engaged was the daughter of the Shi clan's elder.

Among the younger generation in the city, Shi Yi was known for being one of its most talented youngsters. Furthermore, she was selected to become a disciple of the Eternal Palace, which is part of the powerful sect. Of the Blue Lord Empire.
In the book, Fang Yan was also chosen to become a disciple of the Eternal Palace, where he met her.
Many people in the city were dissatisfied with Lu An's engagement to Shi Yi. There was also disagreement within the Shi clan about Lu An, a Dandy known throughout the city for his immoral behavior.
Regardless, no one dared to speak to the Lu clan because they were the city's hegemon.
When Lu An found out he was engaged to Shi Yi, a spark of hope ignited in his heart that there might be someone out there who would care for him. However, he was always given the cold shoulder by her.
He drank so much alcohol in the Pleasure House yesterday as a result of his growing dissatisfaction with life that he died while unconscious and Andy took over his body.
As Andy recalled the memories, he looked in the mirror, seeing a helpless boy with a look of yearning in his eyes.
"I guess he was the villain, wasn't he?"
