Chinese title: 人渣反派自救系统
Notes: I’m translating the original, or old version of the novel — see ‘Raws’ link. It’s slightly different from the updated version you can get from the ‘Official raws.’ Please support the author! The official raws’ updates include some nice extra scenes/parts that are worth forking out your money for~
Summary
Can’t I read stallion novels anymore?! [1]
Shen Yuan is reborn into a young man and scum villain destined to die, Shen Qingqiu.
But it must be known that the original Shen Qingqiu was sliced alive by his disciple, Luo Binghe, into a human stick! A human stick! [2]
Shen Qingqiu’s heart is a full herd of grass mud horses [3] running full tilt, yet:
“It’s not like I don’t want to hug this main character’s thighs, but who let this fucking man be so black [4]. The revenge that needs to be taken is some thousands of deeds!
Why is all the romance that should be going to the women in the plot imposed on him?
Why as a scum villain, should he still have to block gun and knife for the protagonist and sacrifice himself?
Shen Qingqiu: “…… _(:□)∠)_I think I can still save him one more time.”
He wants to prove – even scum villains can live, and live coolly at that!
It’s also the story of a small white flower who later became a black flower attacking a scholarly, scum villain type.
This is the story of a master and disciple’s everyday unknowing, very strange, dog-blood process of falling in love.
It’s also a scum villain’s firsthand account of the male protagonist turning from a small white sheep into an overbearing black king, sort of story……
[1] Stallion novel: Meaning the genre of novel with an overpowered protagonist and harem (I think).
[2] Human stick: An ancient form of torture. All four of the person’s limbs are removed, leaving only the head and body to form a ‘stick.’
[3] grass mud horses: These Chinese characters strung together make up a homonym for an expletive. Shen Yuan is basically saying ‘fuck to the umpteenth degree.’ XD
[4] black: In this case, evil and/or sly.
My own straightforward summary:
The story of a guy who transmigrates into the scum villain of one of those harem xuanhuan/xianxia novels. The scum villain, Shen Qingqiu, is one of those looks-noble-but-is-actually-a-hypocrite types. Shen Qingqiu’s disciple is the ‘main character’ of the novel (Luo Binghe) who gradually turns blacker the more tragic things happen to him.
With the help of a very troll system, the new Shen Qingqiu tries to stay alive by staying on Luo Binghe’s good side (the original Shen Qingqiu was very mean to Luo Binghe, hence his terrible ending). However, heroes grow through adversity and Luo Binghe… definitely has a lot more tragedy in his future. And Shen Qingqiu’s system limits his actions.
The sometimes-angsty but also very touching story of a master and disciple. This novel contains BL that verges into yaoi only in the last chapter or so and in some extras. No harem though there are mentions of original!Luo Binghe’s harem. Very slow build romance but definitely worth the wait.

Hoho, you run a monopoly on translating “The Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System”. It really drives me off the edge thinking that everybody’ll have to probably wait a couple years for all the chapters to come out.

I’m curious, but why are there only 40 chapters listed? I remember Novel Updates stating that there are around 80 chapters with extras. Will you add the 40 chapters later or do you plan to only going to translate up to chapter 40? (Sorry if this sounds harsh) If you do have time, can you please translate all of the extras? I read about them in spoilers section for this novel, and the one about the MLs switching places seems very interesting! I hope you update soon! Thank you for all your hard work!

Don’t get me wrong, I really, really, appreciated that you translated this, but I… have to voice a small complaint. Currently, the update schedule for SCV has been a chapter per two months. I really don’t have that much a problem with that since you’re going through a difficult period of your life. What I’m concerned about is the chapters aren’t being released inline with what you say. Of course it’s tedious to wait for a chapter release, but what’s more frustrating for readers is having your hopes up and being let down. If SCV get’s too tough to translate frequently nobody would blame you.

Hi I am a new reader!
I just caught up and wanted to thank you for translating this story. So many pages, this must have been a lot of work. I discovered this story due to Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation and wanted to check out the author’s other works.
The worldbuilding and characters are engaging and this story is a good twist on the “transmigrated into a webnove” formula. I can’t wait for Luo Binghe to appear again, this will probably be really heartbreaking.
Please take your time to properly recover. I wish you all the best and will keep tabs on this story.
