The Humble Villain Just Trying to Stay Alive

[Fantasy • Transmigration • Villain • No Saint]

My name is Lin Fan. I'm just a mortal. In this world ruled by martial might, all I wanted was to survive, quietly and humbly.

But for reasons I don’t understand, everyone who once bullied me has ended up dead…

And somehow, I’m still alive.

Why? Because I’ll do whatever it takes to survive. No matter how low I have to stoop.

I’ve begged. I’ve bowed. I’ve swallowed my pride more times than I can count.

And strangely, people began to admire me.

Some are heads of noble families. Some are sect leaders.

Even scholars from great academies have written songs and built monuments in my honor.

They say I’ve done incredible things.

But… did I?

You’re not me. You don’t know what I’ve truly done.

Before powerful masters, I shrink back in fear.

Before great clans, I lower my head and obey.

Before enemies, I kneel and grovel without shame.

Because I am no hero.

I’m just trying to survive.
