Transmigration of a Stereotypical Novel Reader

A sudden jolt, a dizzying sense of displacement, and Chen Yuan found himself staring at a reflection that wasn't his own. The man in the mirror possessed a breathtaking beauty, with flowing silver hair and eyes that held an aristocratic pride. This body, he realized, belonged to the pampered young master of the powerful Chen Clan, a figure he knew intimately from the novel he'd just read.

He was the "Peerless Genius Yuan," destined to be a cannon fodder, brutally killed by the protagonist. The memory of his past life, a stereotypical novel reader, was already fading, replaced by the vivid details of this new, dangerous world.

"Y-young Master, the Patriarch is looking for you at the Clan's Ancestral Hall," a trembling servant stammered, pulling him from his thoughts. The fear in her eyes was palpable, a testament to the original Chen Yuan's notorious arrogance.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yuan straightened his azure robes. He had to play the part, at least for now. His future depended on it.
