My Novel, My Villain: Rewriting Destiny as the Author

When struggling web novelist Li Yuan's manuscript gets rejected, he burns it in frustration—only to wake up inside his own story as a disposable villain destined to die at the protagonist's hands. But there's a twist: he created this world, and he knows every plot point, every secret, and every weakness. Armed with the author's ultimate cheat and a burning desire to rewrite his fate, Li Yuan refuses to play the cannon fodder role. If the protagonist wants to level up, he'll have to face the one person who knows the script better than anyone—his own creator.
