Corporate Villainy: Trampling Protagonists as a Business Dad

In a world where megacorporations rule like feudal dynasties and cultivation is under corporate rule, Vincent Cornelius wakes up in a silk-sheeted bed beside a suspiciously curvy woman.

Reincarnated into the body of a doomed CEO fated to be a “villain's father”. Vincent quickly realizes he's a disposable background character— the kind destined to be humiliated, ruined, and killed so that his pathetic son, can become a stepping stone for some arrogant, heaven-defying, cliché cultivation protagonist.

Unfortunately for fate, Vincent didn’t reincarnate to play along.

He reincarnated to ruin protagonists for profit.

Armed with the Corporate Villain Expansion System, every cruel scheme, humiliating press leak, or market manipulation against protagonist nets him Villain Points—and every time he crushes a “fated encounter,” his Luck Points rise.

Turn the protagonist into a drugie? +400 VP + 50 LP

Reduce the mercenary king to a job of a small security guard? +500 VP +100 LP

Cause chaos in a protagonist's harem—emotional betrayal, internal sabotage, or seduction ? +1,000 VP +200 LP

As his mid sized logistics corporation moves towards becoming a corporate megaforce, Vincent must climb the cultivation ladder, weaponize capitalism, and outwit Fate itself—one bankrupt protagonist at a time.

The world wants him humbled.

The story wants him deleted.

But Vincent Cornelius is here to rewrite the script.

He’s about to prove that in this world, the real golden finger is a hostile takeover.

Disclaimer (Filed Personally by Vincent Cornelius):

If, by some cosmic accident, any names, corporations, or highly sensitive trade empires mentioned in this story resemble real-world entities—rest assured, it’s entirely coincidental. I am far too busy conquering fictional markets to bother with actual ones.

No offense is intended. No lawsuits, either. Unless you’re a protagonist. In which case… file away. I'll be waiting—with a better lawyer and a hostile takeover plan.

This is fiction. Relax. Or invest.
