It Turns Out, They Are the Protagonists Novel

Mu Zhi'an initially sought to befriend the heaven-chosen protagonists, but upon closer inspection, he realized that the beautiful women surrounding him were either the protagonist's childhood sweethearts or fiancées. To his astonishment, these girls all fell for him instead of their destined partner. Emboldened by this reversal, Mu Zhi'an conceived an audacious plan: eliminate the protagonists and claim their position as the world's true master. After painstakingly defeating several protagonists and amassing tremendous resources, he generously distributed his wealth among the women to strengthen them. Confident that such abundance would elevate him to immortality and imperial status, he believed his transformation was assured. However, when heavenly tribulation clouds gathered above and several women transcended as empresses through the lightning tribulation, Mu Zhi'an's hope crumbled. He finally understood the bitter truth: the women he thought he controlled were the true protagonists all along, and he remained merely a supporting character in their destiny.
