Mistakenly Saving the Villain (Novel) Vol. 1 (Special Edition)
Feng Yu Nie
by Hao Da Yi Juan Wei Sheng Zhi
Yin Biyue is tired of playing the disposable villain. After countless reincarnations as a low-level antagonist, he invests in a high-grade "Fiend Halo" from the Rebirth Company, determined to finally ascend as the ultimate Final Boss. But fate—and a faulty product—has other plans.
Instead of radiating terrifying malice, his halo projects an aura of tragic, misunderstood virtue that forces everyone around him to perceive his most ruthless schemes as acts of profound self-sacrifice. Most vexing of all is Luo Mingchuan, the golden-hearted protagonist Yin Biyue is destined to destroy. Despite Yin Biyue’s repeated attempts to solidify his villainous reputation, Luo Mingchuan remains steadfastly, annoyingly devoted, interpreting every assassination attempt as a sign of deep-seated trauma or secret affection.
Trapped in a web of his own unintentional heroism, Yin Biyue finds himself increasingly entangled with his sworn enemy, forced to navigate the treacherous politics of his cultivation sect while his carefully crafted persona crumbles under the weight of unwanted admiration. As buried memories surface, Yin Biyue must decide if he will fight to maintain his role as a monster or embrace the unexpected, dangerous intimacy blossoming with the only man who refuses to fear him.
TaylerA funny and light hearted read
"I initially wrote a review and now this is my updated one. Having read The complete book I can honestly say that I was excited to get home and have time to read. Yes this book does have multiple perspectives and we don't mainly get the protagonist perspective, but it's well executed and well placed. You get snippets of scenes at the end or in the middle of a chapter of someone sitting in a tavern or a conversation that we're not supposed to overhear. It's just another way to tell a story and honestly it's not seen a whole lot in Danmei. The characters are adorable, and even though there's not a whole lot of romance between them, the affection they have for each other is believable and understood. I've already pre-ordered book 2, and I hope it's actually a three book series. ["

EuribijaWonderful story
"Wonderful and engaging story. I love both character settings. Cute and silly "villain" and the mature protagonist discovering how their feelings slowly transform. ["

Mariah Lynn WolfInteresting
"This is and isn't a great story! Confusing I know. Usually when you read a book it's from our MC's perspective or at least super close but this story felt like it's from everyone else around the main characters prospective. Also I wouldn't mind the other perspectives so much if I didn't find the MC Villain so funny and interesting. I felt like I only get a taste of his perspective which pulls me in for a moment then I'm back to audience member 3's viewpoint. I still love the story I'm really hoping book two is more from our Villain's point of view and less everyone elses. ["
