Splitting the Heavens Novel

Upon transmigrating into the body of a wealthy young master, the protagonist quickly realizes his new reality mirrors the web novels he once read—except he's cast as the villain. The telltale signs are unmistakable: a determined youth he's looked down upon, a crippled man from a ruined clan whose engagement was just broken, and worst of all, the protagonist himself is responsible for that broken engagement. Even the former fiancée seems to be taking an interest in him now. Recognizing the classic setup where arrogant young masters inevitably fall to rising protagonists, he refuses to follow the same doomed path as countless villains before him. Rather than wait for these potential heroes to grow strong enough to defeat him, he resolves to suppress them all before they mature, determined to rewrite his fate and avoid the typical villain's downfall.
