In a world ruled by cultivation, bloodlines, and ancient magic, Priyanshu Yadav awakens in the body of a fallen noble—mocked, forgotten, and powerless. But unknown to all, he carries the Hidden Villain System, a legendary force that rewards manipulation, secrecy, and absolute control.

Tasked to rise from the shadows, he must never expose his true strength. Instead, he weaves a grand conspiracy: puppeteering kings, corrupting heroes, seducing legends, and building a harem of powerful women—all while remaining unseen.

As chaos spreads across kingdoms, Priyanshu crafts an invisible empire, mastering forbidden techniques and ancient domains. He’s a strategist, a manipulator, a villain cloaked in righteousness.

In a world where power is justice, he won't just survive—he’ll rule. Not from a throne, but from the darkness behind it.

HIDDEN VILLAIN: BEHIND EVERYTHING

The first rays of dawn had barely touched the spires of the Imperial Cathedral when the massive bronze bells began to toll—slow, heavy chimes that echoed across the city like the judgment of gods.

All across the capital, people stopped. Priests knelt. Nobles paused mid-bite. Even the Empress stood silently in her private chamber.

Because this bell tolled only once every decade.

The Holy Church had sent a Bishop.

At the southern gate, a procession approached.

Dozens of armored paladins rode in formation, their silver armor gleaming with sacred runes. At their center walked a solitary figure — a woman in pure white robes, barefoot, untouched by dust. Her long silver hair floated behind her as if carried by divinity itself. Her eyes were closed, but each step she took resonated with power that bent space and made even the city's strongest cultivators shiver.

Bishop Seraphina — also known as The Listener of All Lies.

Priyanshu Yadav watched the arrival from his hidden chamber beneath the Loyal Dog Headquarters, a glass of spirit tea in his hand and a cold smirk on his lips.

"So… the Church finally sends their saint."

Asha, seated across from him, looked uneasy for once. "She's dangerous. You can't lie near her. Even thoughts of deception can trigger a divine reaction. And if she suspects..."

"She won't," Priyanshu said calmly.

"I don't lie. I twist reality until truth becomes my ally."

Just then, a crimson-haired youth burst into the chamber — a high-level agent of the Loyal Dogs.

"My Lord," he said breathlessly, "Seraphina is heading straight to the Grand Temple. But before entering, she issued a public command — 'All disciples, nobles, royals, and sect representatives are to gather before me by dusk. The truth of this Empire shall be revealed.'"

Priyanshu stood, the shadows clinging to him like an emperor's cloak.

"She's not just here to search," he muttered. "She's here to purge."

Convert a bishop? Now that was a challenge he hadn't expected.

Later that evening, under the blood-red sunset, the grand temple plaza was filled with everyone — sect leaders, dukes, saintesses, and disciples.

And at the center, standing on a platform of holy light, Seraphina opened her eyes for the first time.

And the moment she looked at Priyanshu across the crowd, her expression... flickered.

Not in recognition, but in confusion.

"…You…" she whispered, loud enough for the entire plaza to hear. "You should not exist."

Everyone turned to look at Priyanshu.

His lips curled into a calm smile.
