《Host, At Least Let the Villains Act First!!》


 Prologue

    Shu Huaping was like a plagued orange. From outside she looked like a delicious and appealing orange, but if you were to touch it you will know that on the inside she was hollow. Her family did not even saw her as human; she was more like a display doll only created to show off in the face of other elite families. She was caged in the path that her family created for her even before she was born. When she finished high school, everyone admired her since she was the perfect lady, and even she was the fiance of the heir form the most prominent family in the country, but she was tired. Tired of alwaysdoing what people told her. Tired of pretending to be someone she wasn''t. Tired of just being a trade tool in her family. Tired of just living. But she never thought of suicide. That was the easy way out of things and it would not change anything.


    "Hey, have you heard that Shu Huaping again got first place in the National Examination?" StudentA said with admiration in her eyes.


    "Well, we are talking of that Shu Huaping. It would be weird if she didn''t get first place. You are a little late in the news. What is an unexpected news is that she failed to enter to the top University in the Country.It appears that she turned in a blanc answer sheet" Student B said inschadenfreude.


    "The one that is late in the news is you. Didn''t you know that Shu Huaping was accepted to the top university of X country? Obviously, she would give a blanc paper since we are talking about X country most respected university. In her eyes out top university is garbage. I''m sure she only went for courtesy."


    **********************************


    In the Shu Mansion.


    "WHAT KIND OF RESULTS ARE THESE?! DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH FACE YOU MADE ME LOSE? OF COURSE YOU DON''T YOU ARE JUST A PIECE OF GARBAGE THAT COULD NOT EVEN ACE THE ACCEPTANCEEXAM FOR A SMALL UNIVERSITY!" Mr. Shu was completely mad and irrational at the moment.And when she saw that Shu Huaping did not respond, he grabbed the ashtray and threw it at her.This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work.


    Seeing the ashtray coming to her face Shu Huaping did not hesitate to dodge the projectile. When Mr. Shu saw that he did not hit her she got even angrier and began to throw at her all the things that were near him.


    "YOU ARE JUST A LITTLE BITCH. IF IT WERE NOT FOR ME WHO PICK YOU UP, YOU WOULD HAVE BEEN LONG DEAD, AND IF THAT DAMMED OLD MAN ENGAGING YOU TO THE MENG FAMILY, YOU WOULD NOT BE OF ANY USE TO ME. WHY DIDN''T YOU DIED ALSO WITH THAT BITCH OF A MOTHER." That was it. That was the line that people could not cross, and he was already a mile inside. Shu Huanping''s hand was bleeding, and her nails were perforating her palm, but she can do nothing. She doesn''t even have the power to defend her deceasedmother, so she just turned around and left.


    "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?I HAVEN''T FINISHED TALKING...YOU...BI...KILL.." As she walked away from the mansion Mr. Shu voice became lower and lower until she could not hear it anymore. Just as she got out of the Mansion, she got a text from her "friends" from school asking her if she wanted to go shopping with them. She did not think much and just told them that she would be there.


    "Haaa~ I''m so tired already, and it had only been 18 years"


    Shu Huaping spent the whole afternoon with her so-called friends spending money like crazy. When they were walking to another store she sees that a kid was running after a ball. Her mother was on the phone, and she did not notice it. The light turned green and the cars seem to not have seen her.


    Shu Huaping thought that it could be a good idea to die saving someone and did not think twice when she jumped to save the child. She graved the kid by the arm and threw her to her mother side, but since the inertia did not let her stop on time, she was not able to get out of danger.


    Crash


    When she got hit by the car, she did not feel pain, but a yearned calmness. "Finally, I can get some rest."


    Just as she was closing her eyes to rest forever a voice sounded in her head.


    [Finally, Xiao Meng found you, host]


    ''What was that voice? Well, it doesn''t matter anymore.''


    Shu Huaping, the respected, admired, and envied the first daughter of the conglomerate Shu, died.


    Or so she thought.

 Nah, I will laze around in my second life.

    "An unfamiliar roof. Ah no, that is another kind novel" When Shu Huaping woke up and stood up form the supposed-to-be bed. She roamed the room and besides the intent of bed, rag-likeclothes, try-to-be plates, and rotten wood as furniture.


    At that time, the most cliche thing happened. The head pain blah blah blah, the recovery of the body''s memory blah blah blah, and also getting the skills of a 21st century Mercenary Queen blah blah...wait a minute.


    "How is it that I have the memories and skills of a Mercenary Queen?"


    [Xiao Meng can answer that!]


    As if it was something that this body had done a thousand of times, Shu Huaping took a step back and put a defensive stance. After Shu Huaping realized what she did was a lost in thought for a while.


    ''How did I do it?'' While she was lost in thoughts the voice sounded again.


    [Host there is no need too so alert. Xiao Meng will do nothing bad to you~]


    The voice sounded like a 5-year-old trying to sell his cuteness because he had done something wrong.


    With caution, Shu Huaping was searchingin her surroundings for the origin of the childish voice.


    "Who are you, and what you want?" She threw in the air trying to catch the position of her opponent.


    [Xiao Meng is Xiao Meng. And Xiao Meng only wants to help Host understand what is happening.]


    ''Who is this Xiao Meng? I am unable to detect his presence; not even in a radius of 500m. Wait, how am I able to know if he is not that far away?''


    [Host it is normal that you are confused since you thought that you would be dead but don''t worry. Before you soul could go the road of reincarnation, I helped you find a body that was compatible with your soul]


    "...So I did not die?''


    [No. I was impressedthat you sacrificed your life for the life of a kid, so I save you] ''I am sure that now host will like me more and will give me lots of praises hehe''The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.


    "Tch. So I did not die"


    ''...Did I just hear Host clicking her tongue? No, it must have been my imagination since I have seen all my Host life and Ican see that Host is a kind, benevolent, patient, and has a big sense of justice. It is impossible for her to do something like that''


    "So what was the reason you saved me?"


    ''It would not be like in those novels in which the MC is throwninto a world inside a novel, and has to follow some dumb "villainsystem" or something, right?''


    [Host Xiao Meng has seen all your life and thought you would be the best Host in the world for the "Heroine System", so when your time in that world ended Xiao Meng kept you soul and transmigrated it to this world~]


    ''Now praise Xiao Meng for doing something good~''Our childish system thought that he did something good, so he was not expecting the answer that he got form Shu Huaping.


    "You know that I was so near to be able to rest in peace? Now everything is ruined, and you still haven''t answered my question. Where am I, and what in the world in the ''Heroine System''?" It could be noted that the tome of Shu Huaping was getting worse and worse.


    (¡¤_¡¤? ''What did Xiao Meng did wrong?''


    [Host you are being mean to Xiao Meng waaa]


    "Get to the point!Where am I, and what in the world in the ''Heroine System''?"


    The true personality of Shu Huaping was totally the opposite of what she acted in her past life. She was a person that doesn''t have much patience when people keep on changing topics, she would let the world burn if it did not involve her, and she would follow the flow until it was beneficiary for her, then she would force the flow to comply with her. In her past life, she was forced to act like a respectable member of nobility only to use her as a trade tool, so not a lot of people, or to be precise no one knew how her true personality was like. That is why our Xiao Meng did not know the personality of his new Host.


    *Sniff sniff* [Ok, Xiao Meng will tell you so don''t get mad. Host, right now you are on the Yizu Continent. More specifically in they Shuilong Kingdom''s Shu General''s State.]


    Xiao Meng has the mentality of a five years old child, so his concentrationwas not the best. When he began to explain to Shu Huaping, he totally forgot what happened before.


    [Xiao Meng brought Host here because of the "Heroine System" which is a system that helps the Host to achieve their dreams and ambitions following the path of a novel. Xiao Meng doesn''t know why all the Host until now were mean to us systems, so Xiao Meng went searching for a good Host, and that is why Host is here. Now Xiao Meng has only one question for you Host. What do you want to achieve? Getting at the top of civilization?Become an immortal? Being a successful merchant? Become the Queen of the world? Find true love? Do not worry Host you just need to tell Xiao Meng, and Xiao Meng will help you achieve it!]


    When Xiao Meng finished talking, he sounded like if a small kid were looking at you with shining eyes expecting a positive answer. No human being with a heart could say no to a kid that looked at the like that. Well, except Shu Huaping.


    "Nah, I will just laze around in my second life. Since I assume there is no way to undo what is done, why don''t I relax in this lifetime? I could not do it last time, so I will do it this time. I will go with the flow."


    [...Eh?]

 You will know pretty soon

    [..but you...you are Xiao Meng''s Host. You are supposed to be the protagonist! Host, what are you doing? Listen to Xiao Meng! waaa~]


    Before Xiao Meng could continue with his tantrum like a kid that did not get what they wanted, Shu Huaping stood up and began to search around the small room.


    "Well, didn''t you said that I was the host of the "Heroine System" meaning that I am in something like a novel or something similar, isn''t it?" In the tone in which it did not sound like a question but more like a statement, so Xiao Meng did not have another choice but to answer.


    *Sniff Sniff* [It is true. Right now, Host and Xiao Meng are inside a novel form your old world, but what does it have to do with Host going around in circles in the room?]


    Shu Huaping stopped looking around and put a face like what Xiao Meng said was a stupid question.


    "Aren''t you a dumb a system?"


    [Xiao Meng is Xiao Meng! No System!]


    "Oh, so you don''t refuse that you are dumb?"


    [...]


    "Well, besides the fact thatXiao Meng accepted that he was dumb, let''s returnto the main topic. The reason I am going around in circles is to find something sturdy enoughin this room capable of holding a kick. Oh, this looks sturdy enough."


    Shu Huaping said as she moved her nightstand to the door. Seeingwhat she was doing her after hearing her explanation still did not helpour Xiao Meng to understand what his Host was talking about.


    Shu Huaping could clearly see a question mark on top of Xiao Meng inside her consciousness. She was trying really hard to not laughin his face that if you paid attention her shoulders were shaking a little, but you cannot blame her for bullying Xiao Meng since it was just too inevitable.The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    "Let me explain it to you. Since I am the Host of the ''Heroine System'', it means that I became the protagonist, and going by the memory of this body, she is the first official daughter of the General State,the location of her mother or even if she is alive is unknown, has the reputation of being a cripple, is engaged with one of the crown prince, and has an outstandingwhite lotus sister. There is always a scene after that."


    [What scene is Host talking about?]


    Obviously, Xiao Meng is unable to follow what his host was talking about.


    "You will know pretty soon. Anyways, I have a weird feeling in my body. Like it is lighter, and that I have more control over it.Why is it like that?"


    That was actually that was bugging constantly in Shu Huaping''s mind. She knows that in this world cultivation and the internal force exited, but like in all novels the protagonist does not have any of them since either they were poisoned by the concubine or someone or their potential was sealed by their real parents to protect them.


    [Oh, that is because the original owner was able to cultivate, but she did not awake her talent until she was 4 which is a year later than all the kids in the continent; therefore, the General thought that the original was a waste]


    "...Are you telling me that this body already has cultivation and internal force?But that doesn''t make any sense. Even if she awoke her talent a year later by being 4, she would still want to obtain the praise and recognition of her father. Why would she not tell him?"


    [Host, you don''t need to think too hard about it. The reason is that for a year after being found out that she was a cripple, she was constantly bullied and despised by her own family, and her father did nothing to stop it even he encourage it and put her as an example to shame her even more; by consequence, the original began to detest her father, so her hiding her straight is not so unreasonable.]


    "Oh, so it was like that"''Host at least try to show some compassion. Why is it that my host changed so much when she arrived here? Wuuu~''


    After hearing the story of the original Shu Huaping did not felt much since she already knew the story. Will you feel anger or rage when someone tells you something like the original''s past if you already know how it all happened first handily?...Well, Shu Huaping might be the exception, but that is not the point.


    " I have another question..."


    *Baam*


    *kyuaaaaaaaaaa*


    Just when she was about to ask another question, there was a loud noise coming from something hitting the door with a lot of force followed by a loud screech.
