The Villain’s Face Slapping Counterattack

Chapter 1

This is my first time mtl-translating a novel, so if you see a mistake or feel that something sounds off, let me know and I’ll check it!

There is a line where MC mentions how he’s died, so potential trigger warning?

Face-Slapping the Film Emperor and Empress (Entertainment Circle)

Zhou Xu lay at the bottom of the cliff with his leg broken, the fierce pain twisting his expression.
But the situation in front of him was more severe; a group of wolves were staring at him.

In the dark night, the eyes of the wolves faintly glowed green.
They were monsters more terrifying than ghosts.

A wolf howled, the creepy and shrill sound echoing throughout the ravine.

Dark clouds covered the moon.

Suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled.

The first bolt of lightning fell.
The wolves began their attack, and Zhou Xu could only clench his hands tightly and endure the agony of being bitten and torn apart.

His flesh stripped from bone, the wolves’ teeth sinking into his body, the only thing Zhou Xu could do was grit his teeth.
The anger in his heart had long taken root and sprouted.
And at that moment, the tender bud that had been growing for so long blossomed into a tree called “hatred”.

He wanted revenge, and he must find an opportunity even if he had to undergo the pain from his hundred deaths.

At that moment, Zhou Xu was fully devoured by the wolves, and his spirit entered a vast space.

After a moment of panic, Zhou Xu immediately examined the ring on his little finger.

Zhou Xu, who was extremely clever, was able to discover in a short time that the system was out of order.

The fault was very small, but it was enough for Zhou Xu to seize the opportunity and turn the glitch into a major breakdown.

When Zhou Xu woke up again, the world had changed.

’

He raised his hand and felt the ring on his little finger emitting a faint heat.
Zhou Xu bowed his head and smiled, his eyes dark and cold.
How wonderful, the system was now under his control.
Zhou Xu was originally going to be promoted to the rank of military counselor of Noah Galaxy’s army division.
His IQ was outstanding, surpassing everybody else.
In fact, in regards to controlling the system, he did not exert much effort but firmly captured the fleeting opportunity.

Zhou Xu looked at the information from the ring, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Well, he was still the villain.
He was supposed to die by drug overdose, but that was before.
This time, Zhou Xu wanted to see who would toy with who, and who would die.

After tidying up his clothes, Zhou Xu sat up straight because the original owner of the body was, at the moment, about to audition for a role, which he (original) didn’t get.
But, it could not have been any more simple for Zhou Xu.
He only had to be his true self, because the role was for the most sinister and vicious villain in the play.

“Hehe, this is getting interesting,” Zhou Xu whispered, the corners of his mouth tilting up.
He bowed his head, completely hiding his amusement.

Zhou Xu had originally been living in the Noah Galaxy.
He had just been promoted to the Interstellar Military Division.
But, when the Admiral had presented him an award, he was forcibly removed from his original world and bound to the “will not die in peace” system, playing as the villain in every world.

He was forced to cross a hundred worlds, which meant that he died a hundred times.
Within those hundred times, his actions were restricted by the system, and so he was hacked to pieces, pierced by arrows, eaten alive, beheaded, mutilated, gang-raped to death……

Zhou Xu, who was not a good man, sowed seeds of hatred within throughout his deaths.
Now, Zhou Xu not only wanted to live a wonderful life, but also let those with the protagonist’s halo see that if their opponent’s IQ was online, their halo was actually useless.

The host was also called Zhou Xu, just like all the previous worlds.
Here, he was the youngest son of Zhou Qiang, the chairman of the Zhou Group.
However, Zhou Qiang was very opposed to Zhou Xu entering the entertainment circle.
His thinking was very old-fashioned, and he thought the so-called actors were a joke.

Zhou Xu had a brother named Zhou Yang.
Although Zhou Yang also did not support Zhou Xu’s acting, he had always been concerned about Zhou Xu.

Because he wanted to become an actor, Zhou Xu was subsequently driven out of house by Zhou Qiang, and the father-son relationship was even severed.
When he died, Zhou Xu didn’t know that his father had always cared about him.
Zhou Qiang had even let his brother Zhou Yang send people to protect him and added money to his bank account.
However, they did not notice that Zhou Xu had become addicted to drugs.
At his death, Zhou Xu was only skin and bones.

The original Zhou Xu was very arrogant.
With his excellent looks, he soon rose in the entertainment circle, but his acting skills were ordinary.
Zhang Hanshu, the world’s protagonist, was an actor like Zhou Xu.
They had similar styles, so they often clashed over roles.
Zhou Xu was, of course, never able to snatch the leading role.

From the beginning of his career, the male master was watched over by Sun Yue, who was the film empress at that time.
He gradually improved his acting skills with the help of the film empress, and eventually became the film emperor.

When Sun Yue discovered that Zhou Xu was gay, she detested the arrogant man who always got in the way, and so, she leaked the matter to the media, causing Zhou Xu’s acting career to suffer a huge blow.

She even found someone to lure Zhou Xu into taking drugs.
In the end, on the day that the protagonist became the film emperor, Zhou Xu died from drug overdose.

Zhou Xu and Zhang Hanshu were the same, but had different endings.

’

Zhou Xu rolled the script in his hands into a cylinder, hit his palm with it once, and raised his head, his manner becoming arrogant.

Another person wanting to audition entered the small waiting room, causing it to become more crowded.
This was the protagonist Zhang Hanshu.

In the original world’s storyline, this was not the first time that Zhou Xu and Zhang Hanshu met.
The two had long been enemies, and so they found each other unpleasant to look at.
But they r
