I Want To Be A Villain, But Fate Says Otherwise
Chapter 1
Leo, feared across continents as the ruthless mafia king, never expected to die in such an embarrassing way. Betrayed by his own right-hand man — the man he trusted the most — he collapses in a warehouse full of smoke and gunpowder. His vision dims, but instead of fear, Leo starts laughing, low and cold.
leo
I’ll be back (mutters). Crueler. Meaner. Worse than all of you combined
But the darkness he expects never comes. Instead, he opens his eyes to a dazzling golden ceiling that looks like it belongs in a royal palace. He groans, thinking he’s in some strange afterlife hospital, until he tries to move and notices something wrong. His body feels tiny. Soft. Luxury-soft. Expensive-soft.
Then a maid bursts into the room, tears streaming down her face
Female
Young Master Mimi! You’re awake!
He sits up and immediately realizes this body isn’t his. The hands are slim. The voice is lighter. The reflection in the nearby mirror shows a beautiful boy with messy hair, pouty lips, and delicate villainous charm.
The villain of the famous novel he once skimmed out of boredom.
Leo processes this for three seconds… then grins like a maniac.
He laughs, delighted. Not scared. Not confused. Just excited
Mimi(Leo)
Perfect. Round two. A brand new playground
The maid flinches, misreading his joyful villain grin as something dangerous. Leo couldn’t care less. He stretches his new arms and smirks
A new world. A new identity. No mafia police chasing him. No betrayal. Just the freedom to be wicked.
Leo — now Mimi — decides instantly
He will be the greatest villain this world has ever seen.
Chapter 2
The moment Mimi stands in front of the mirror, he appreciates his new face with an expert criminal’s eye. Long lashes. Sharp jawline. Innocent-but-evil expression. A villain’s beauty meant to intimidate heroes. He touches his cheek, admiring the expensive softness.
Instead of panicking like a normal transmigrator, he lifts his chin proudly
Mimi(Leo)
Universe, I accept the gift. Thank you
He throws the bedsheets off and marches around the room, fully claiming the identity of Mimi — the spoiled young master everyone hates. Perfect for chaos. Perfect for mischief. Perfect for evil.
He opens the door dramatically and the servants tremble. One drops a tray. One hides behind another maid. Mimi loves the energy. Fear suits him.
Mimi(Leo)
(Announces), from today onward, this mansion shall witness a new level of villainy!
The servants scream. One faints. Mimi is thrilled.
He immediately begins planning. His goal list is simple
1. Ruin the protagonist’s journey.
2. Prevent the two male leads from gaining plot armor.
3. Dominate the entire world if he feels like it.
4. Look beautiful while doing it.
Everything seems perfectly set. What could possibly go wrong?
Well… the universe. Apparently.
Because the moment he tries to practice his villain smirk in the hallway, a maid walks past, sees him, and says
Female
Young Master Mimi…! You look so kind today!
He tries again — sharpened glare, lifted eyebrow, cold aura. Another servant stumbles, bows, and says
Female
Your determination inspires us, Young Master
Mimi(Leo)
💭Is this world broken? Is my villain energy not working?
Still, he brushes it off. One or two misunderstandings won’t stop him. He will prove he’s evil.
Chapter 3
Determined to establish his villain reputation, Mimi summons one of the mansion guards. The guard walks in nervously, saluting with trembling hands. Perfect target.
Mimi steps forward, voice low, channelling his mafia past
Mimi(Leo)
If you ever slack off on duty again, I’ll—
Before he can finish the threat, the guard’s eyes widen… and suddenly fill with tears.
male
I… I’m sorry, Young Master! I didn’t think you cared so much about my performance (cries). Thank you for reminding me of my duty!
Mimi(Leo)
(Freezes mid-threat). Huh? Care? No— I meant—
But before he can correct the misunderstanding, two more guards rush in after hearing the commotion.
male
Young Master! We heard everything!
male
So inspiring!
Your passion for discipline—!
Mimi(Leo)
💭(Stands there, furious). Passion? Discipline? I was trying to be terrifying!
He tries again. He pushes the guard lightly against the wall, lowering his voice
Mimi(Leo)
If you fail again, I will personally—
male
PERSONAL guidance?? (the guard shouts, saluting with sparkling eyes). I’m honored!
Other guards begin clapping
male
Young Master Mimi is truly maturing!
male
He just hides it under a cold exterior!
Mimi can’t take it anymore. He storms off, hair flying dramatically, muttering
Mimi(Leo)
💭This world is broken. I’m threatening people and getting praised?! Absurd!
He slams his door shut and screams into a pillow.
This was supposed to be his villain era — not a charity event!
