Dating System: I Got Ugly, but I Got Stronger

When the System appeared, Lu Ming thought he was the chosen one.

Psychic crystals, matchmaking, supernatural powers awakening...

Until he discovered one messed-up truth:

The stronger his powers, the uglier he became.

His first matchmaking refusal: 85 points to 75.

Using the power of chaos to save someone: 70 points to 55.

Forcibly fighting a rift: 50 points to 30.

The System's ironclad rules were brutally clear: his looks could only get worse, and the corruption of chaos was irreversible. Each new power came at the cost of a face that grew harder and harder to show.

Then the Anomaly Response Bureau came knocking. Rift beasts began surging in the shadows. And whenever a girl named Xu Qinghuan appeared before him, the threads of causality around him went haywire...

At last, Lu Ming understood.

This wasn't a cruel prank by heaven.

It was a sacrifice demanded by fate.

Someone wanted to turn him into the perfect vessel for chaos.

Someone wanted to use his life to seal the rift.

And the System's matchmaking was pushing him toward the abyss, step by step.

"Am I getting uglier, or am I turning into a monster?"
