Seven Seas provides the following Vol. 1 summary:
One man’s attempt to become the Final Boss goes completely awry when his buff item earns him sympathy instead of fear! Up against the Hero and chased by the very company who sold him the item, can he still manage to achieve his dastardly dreams?
Yin Biyue feels scammed. After dying as a two-bit villain in a multitude of worlds, he dreamed of becoming the Final Boss in the next world he’s reborn into. Unfortunately, the malevolent Fiend Halo he purchased from the Rebirth Company seems to be malfunctioning. Instead of inspiring fear in those who inhabit his new reality, his fellow cultivators see him as…a do-gooder. And this includes the bleeding-heart protagonist, Luo Mingchuan—the very man who Yin Biyue just tried to murder!
Before Yin Biyue knows it, he’s surrounded by allies and the fallout of a misunderstanding that makes everyone in his cultivation sect think he’s the victim. How is he supposed to achieve his dastardly dreams now?! Especially when the mysteries of his forgotten past keep popping up when he least expects them.

One man’s attempt to become the Final Boss goes completely awry when his buff item earns him sympathy instead of fear! Up against the Hero and chased by the very company who sold him the item, can he still manage to achieve his dastardly dreams?
Yin Biyue feels scammed. After being cannon fodder one too many times, he daydreams of becoming the Final Boss in the next world he’s reborn into.

With the Hero dead set on taking him down the path of righteousness and the Rebirth Company chasing after him to get their halo back, Yin Biyue is at a total loss. How is he supposed to achieve his dastardly dreams now?!
