How To Survive as a Villain

The three of them quietly ran away. Even though Xiao YuAn was very wounded and feverish, he didn’t slow them down. Instead, this situation made them feel the desire to survive greater than anything else.

Probably because the soldiers of the Southern Yan Kingdom had just arrived at the Imperial City, there were few of them stationed outside Xiao YuAn’s bedchamber, so their escape went really smoothly.

Yang LiuAn followed closely behind Xiao YuAn all the way. He was feeling really nervous and was also holding his breath from time to time to observe the surrounding situation. Meanwhile, the other black-clothed man was quietly exploring the road ahead, with a sturdy posture and an extraordinary force.

Xiao YuAn couldn’t help looking at the black-clothed man.

He hadn’t really guessed who it was yet.

Xiao YuAn originally thought that this man should be Xiao Fengye, but on a second thought, Xiao Fengyue was a gentle and elegant qin player. It doesn’t matter how much he wanted to repay his kindness, Yang LiuAn would never let his lover participate in such a dangerous task.

Then, who was this man dressed in black walking right in front of him?

Was this a new friend of Yang LiuAn’s? The fact that he’s willing to come with him to this miserable Imperial Palace to rescue someone he doesn’t know, is enough to consider him as a friend of life and death¹.

When the three of them managed to escape outside of the Imperial Palace, Yang LiuAn whispered to Xiao YuAn: “Your Majesty, right now the gate of the Imperial City is being heavily guarded by the troops of the Southern Yan Kingdom, and they won’t allow some people to leave the City. Let’s find a place to settle in the suburbs first and tomorrow morning we will disguise ourselves as refugees who’ve left their hometown, with that we will be able to leave the City. At the post station outside the Imperial City, there’s a carriage that I have prepared long ago. As long as we’re able to get out of the Imperial City, everything will be alright.”

So hardworking, you’re really worthy of being called a hardworking man! You’re so reliable!

Xiao YuAn nodded his head and followed Yang LiuAn and the other man towards a ruined temple in the suburbs. It was probably because of the war that this temple had lost all its incense and the monks had already left, leaving behind only the broken walls, and a few dusty Buddha statues.

Yang LiuAn came forward and knocked gently on the door three times. After a few seconds, the door of the temple slowly opened halfway with an overwhelming ‘creak’, and behind it Xiao Fengyue poked out half of his face. Upon seeing it was them, he breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door all the way, welcoming them in.

Xiao YuAn had just walked into the temple, when suddenly a dark shadow rushed towards him! Xiao YuAn took a step back in fright but he was still tightly held by that person.

“Wuwuwu², you’re fine Imperial brother! Great, you’re really alright!” Princess Yongning hugged Xiao YuAn’s waist. Her voice choked with joy and she was way too excited to see him, so she was unwilling to let go. Xiao YuAn eased his breathing and gently laughed, reaching out to pat Princess Yongning on the back.

“I’m fine, I’m really fine, you….”

Wait, what the fuck are you doing here???!

!!!!???

When Xiao YuAn came back to reality, he was suddenly very stunned. As if he was struck by a thunderbolt, and didn’t know how to react except to stupidly stay frozen in place.

Why is Princess Yongning here?!!

If she’s here!

She’s here!

Here!

Huh????

Shouldn’t the female lead be at the Imperial Palace at this point. Staying together with the male lead, entangle together with him, fall in love, hold hands, and finally start to imagine a future together?!

What are you actually doing here!?

Did you run away without doing anything with him? Are you two trying to play the game of sadomasochistic love?

You two really know how to play!

“Imperial brother, you’ve been badly injured.” Princess Yongning took Xiao YuAn’s hand and took a closer look at the wound on his arm, her tone of voice was filled with distress.

“Don’t worry about it.” The black-clothed man who hadn’t shown his face yet, stepped forward as he pulled off the black cloth covering his face: “There’s medicine to treat injuries here, and my guards are also proficient in the medical arts,”

Xiao YuAn wasn’t only completely dumbfounded right now.

He was also straight out of breath.

Fuck!!!

Why is the second female lead, Xiao PingYang, also here?!!!

What the fuck is this, this, what the fuck is this magic plot!!!!!

Probably beacause Xiao PingYang thought that Xiao YuAn’s three sudden shocks weren’t explosive enough, she added: “I didn’t want to make it clear so early, but after hearing from Yongning that you already know about our feelings, in that case, I’ll simply make it clear. Yongning and I are already deep in love, and I hope His Majesty will feel comfortable with Yongning and I being together.”

Xiao YuAn asked Xiao Pingyang: “Who are you in love with?”

Xiao Pingyang was stunned, but she still replied regardless: ”Yongning.”

Xiao YuAn turned his head and asked Princess Yongning again: “Ning’’er, are you and her in love with each other?”

“Yes, Imperial brother. Didn’t you already know about her ever since a long time ago, and let me stay with her?” Princess Yongning looked very happy.

Xiao YuAn turned his head and asked Yang LiuAn: “What does it mean to be in love with one another?”

Yang LiuAn scratched his head with a confused expression in his face: “Your Majesty… doesn’t it mean mutual love and admiration between two people?”

Yes, there’s no problem with your explanation, ten points for you.

Since there’s no problem with the definition, then….

Then! You! Transmigrated! To! A! Fake! Book!!!

Are! These! Even! The! Same! People! From! The! Original! Book?!!! Or did the original plot make a 360 spin that exploded in the air?!

How can the female lead and the second female lead end up together? Where’s the male lead?!!! Is the male lead more afraid of losing face?!!!

Who am I?! Where am I?! How did the plot become like this!!!
