DESTINY VILLAIN: Rebirth of the Thieving Immortal

Chapter 2: The First Woman Stolen** 

Zhuo Fan walked through the bustling streets of **Jiangnan City**, the heart of trade and power in the modern world. To an ordinary person, this was just another metropolis—full of high-rise buildings, business tycoons, and struggling students.  

But beneath its surface, **hidden cultivators, underground sects, and ancient aristocratic families** controlled everything. The strong preyed on the weak. Wealth was power, but **true power belonged to cultivators**.  

And at the center of it all, soon to rise, was **Lin Feng**, the novel’s protagonist.  

*Not if I take everything from him first.*  

His first step had already begun—**stealing the Ancient Jade Pendant**.  

But he wasn’t going to stop there.  

Su Xiaoxiao.  

Lin Feng’s **first love**. The woman who, in the original timeline, would be **the first to fall for him** after he displayed his brilliance and dominance.  

But **before that happened**, she was just **an ordinary rich girl**—the daughter of a once-wealthy businessman whose company was on the verge of collapse.  

In the novel, Lin Feng would meet her **after his rebirth** when she was at her lowest point. He would effortlessly save her father’s business, and Su Xiaoxiao, touched by his power and charm, would **fall in love with him**.  

That meeting, that moment of gratitude, was **the foundation of their relationship**.  

But if Lin Feng never met her?  

If **someone else** saved her first?  

Then her fate—**her heart**—would no longer belong to Lin Feng.  

Zhuo Fan had already investigated the Su family’s situation. **Su Group**, once a dominant real estate company, had been suffering heavy financial losses for the past year.  

A powerful **hidden cultivation family**, the **Zhao Clan**, had intentionally crushed their business, forcing them into bankruptcy. Soon, Su Xiaoxiao’s father, **Su Cheng**, would become desperate enough to take **a high-interest loan** from an underground faction—one that **Lin Feng would later destroy to save them**.  

Zhuo Fan had no intention of letting that happen.  

Instead of waiting for the Su family to fall, **he moved first**.  

He contacted **a wealthy businessman**, someone Lin Feng wouldn’t meet until much later in the novel—**Luo Tianhai**, a ruthless corporate overlord and underground force.  

Zhuo Fan approached Luo Tianhai with an offer:  

**“You want to weaken the Zhao Clan, right? I can give you leverage against them.”**  

With just a few well-placed investments and manipulations, **Luo Tianhai crushed the Zhao Clan’s attack on Su Group, stabilizing their business**.  

Su Cheng, unaware of the bigger game at play, was **beyond grateful**.  

And the man who had "orchestrated" his salvation?  

Zhuo Fan arrived at the Su family’s mansion just in time for the celebration. The previously despondent **Su Cheng** now stood before him, his face full of gratitude.  

“Young Master Zhuo, you don’t know how much this means to me…! If you hadn’t stepped in, my family—Xiaoxiao—” Su Cheng’s voice trembled with emotion.  

Zhuo Fan gave a calm smile. **He had played his role perfectly.**  

“It was nothing, Uncle Su. I only did what was right.”  

At that moment, a voice interrupted them.  

“Father, who is this?”  

**Su Xiaoxiao had arrived.**  

She was **exactly as described in the novel**—long dark hair, bright intelligent eyes, and an elegant beauty that made her stand out even in a world of elites.  

In the original timeline, she would have been **heartbroken and struggling**, her once-luxurious life falling apart.  

Now?  

She still had her wealth, her security.  

And **the man who had saved everything was standing in front of her.**  

Su Cheng immediately introduced him. “This is Young Master Zhuo. He saved our family.”  

Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened. She looked at Zhuo Fan with surprise and curiosity.  

A moment later, she smiled. **“Thank you.”**  

And just like that—**Lin Feng lost his first woman before he even had a chance to meet her.**  

In the original novel, Su Xiaoxiao had fallen for Lin Feng **because he saved her when she had nothing left**.  

That emotional bond?  

Gone.  

Without Su Xiaoxiao as his first love, **Lin Feng’s early motivation to show off his power and dominance was shaken**.  

He wouldn’t realize it yet.  

But when the time came, when he searched for the woman who was supposed to admire him—**he would find her standing next to someone else.**  

**Zhuo Fan had stolen Lin Feng’s first opportunity.**  

And this was only the beginning.
