This translation is by Attica (BC Novels) at bcnovels d͎o͎t͎ c͎o͎m͎

(Note from Attica: This is one of the most recent extras released for Scum Villain’s Self-Saving System, and my personal favorite extra. The general premise is that Shen Qingqiu dreams of how Luo Binghe spent those five years between Shen Qingqiu’s suicide and resurrection.

Please let me know what translations could be improved.)

Listening to his strong and composed voice, Shen Qingqiu laughed: “You speak as if you being gentle will not make me hurt.”

Without waiting for Luo Binghe to react, Shen Qingqiu had already reached out with both hands.

“I’ll gladly endure it1.”


This extra is by Attica and was originally spread around the Scum Villain fandom as a Google doc and it’s also posted at https://penjournalhappy.wordpress.com.

Reika’s Notes:

  • The donghua (Chinese animation) is here! You can watch it here for free and with English subtitles (official Tencent video link, other languages also available). The official English title is “Scumbag Villain.” I believe there is also a Tencent Video app for mobile phones/tablets that is different depending on which country you live in.  Let’s support the official animation!
  • I’m absolutely loving the donghua! I thought that I wouldn’t like the 3D graphics but once I started watching I forgot all about any flaws and just enjoyed myself immensely. What did you think of Scumbag Villain?
  • A Youtube video is also uploaded later (two weeks later?) on the official Tencent Video channel. Here’s episode 1 on Youtube. Click on the button that says “CC” to watch it with subtitles.
  • This chapter is by Attica of BC Novels.
  • Please let me know if there are any errors.
  • Thanks for reading.

  1. What a beautiful extra. I wish there were more moments like this when SQQ takes the initiative to start their lovemaking session…..honestly the extras make Bingqiu a very shipable pair ❤

    1. Thank you so much for the hard work, I loved the translation very well done.

  2. Luo Binghe lay down, turned over, and moved the body to nestle into his arms. He said: “In the past, when the Bai Zhan Peak disciples picked on me and beat me up, Shizun always came up with a method to get back at them.”

    Whenever bingpup is bullied, Shizun is always to the rescue. I am very much in love with BingQui my favorite MXTX couple!!!!

  3. Re-reading it again and again. Love this extra! I still shed tears whenever I read it. Looking back, the only time Luo BingHe hurt Shen QingQiu was back on the Jinlan City incident (when SQQ thought LBH was LQG) . LBH wasn’t just jealous, he’s also hurt since the shizun who told him races don’t matter, suddenly avoids him like a ghost upon learning he’s a half-demon. Adding Xin Mo sword’s influence, he could only vent his frustrations to the cause of his heartache: his Shizun. When he also attempted ‘sexual assault’, I realized he really just meant what he said (he just wanted to scare SQQ). Probably because he was both mad and hurt cause his Shizun still shuns him. He couldn’t stand SQQ not paying him attention so he couldn’t help intentionally making SQQ mad. BECAUSE why would the LBH in this chapter be so scared of giving his Shizun a nightmare if he’s really an asshole pervert? Many people are annoyed and hated him because of this. I was of them. Sorry, Bing-mei. That 5 years of patiently and earnestly taking good care of SQQ dead body was very heartfelt. We love you! Be happy with your Shizun!

  4. WHY DOES IT ALWAYS JUST END AS IT’S GETTING GOOD??? My poor heart can’t take all of this ugly crying and tension…\(`•A`•)/?!

  5. Aaaaaaaaaa aaa a a a I love the extras because they deepen their relationship, making it even more shippable. Still, I’m not someone who particularly cares about smut, but damn I at least need to know not EVERY time they make love it’s painful for Shizun,,,

    Are there any more extras not yet translated?

  6. Lou Bing Bing is such a kawaii potato that must be guarded at protected at all cost. He is a badass demon king but deep inside he is insecure and scared. Oh Lou Bing Bing don’t worry Shizun will never leave you again. Ugly crying in this chap huehuehue. That is why I really love Lou Bing Bing among the brothers (him, Wei Ying and Hua Cheng) I don’t have a heart to hate him. I also love Shizun hahaha his internal dialogue and internal screaming. I love you my favorite walkout queen. Hope Scum Villain manhua will be continued in the future.

  7. The ending here made my poor heart squeeze even more. After seeing how his little hedgehog suffered for him those five years, he felt so moved that when he woke up he just had to finally cave in and show his love 😢

  8. Their happiness makes me happy too.

    Thank you so much for translating this novel. You are all true heroes.

  9. Now we know why Binghe turned out this way rofl xD… Idk he was probably bisexual to begin with but Airplane Dad never wrote any lovable male characters.

    The hugging and close skin contact probably wasn’t taken as possible sexual harassment because Binghe didn’t show signs of revulsion from way before.

    SQQ’s actions are somewhat too indulgent and ambiguous for pure master and disciple relationship. Not even the average father (who is not in love with his son) would be this sticky. Thus SQQ was probably secretly in love with Binghe from the beginning and think he wasn’t doing anything out of ordinary… 😂 How tsundere.
    (Tsunderes FTW)
    Ig it’s only natural since he loves 《Proud Immortal Demon Way》as much as a “inseparable, demanding wife” as Airplane Dad noted.

    1. Oh, thanks for the link. I was just given the Google doc so that’s the one I linked.
