[Complete, so feel free to enjoy!]
Lou Qingnuo is the Host of System No. 778, “Torrid Romance.” His specialty is leaving behind the image of an unforgettable first love just when he and each world’s male lead are at their most lovey-dovey, then walking away without a backward glance.
That sounds pretty strange. Everyone else does everything they can to win over the male lead and reach a happy ending. You’re deliberately forcing a bad ending? That makes no sense, does it?
778: What doesn’t make sense about it? Happy endings are everywhere these days. The world needs more bad endings to restore the balance!
Lou Qingnuo: I think you’re just jealous...
In the end, Lou Qingnuo’s talent for creating sweet, romantic bubbles around the male leads was so off the charts that the negative energy after each bad ending threw the world’s balance toward tragedy. Little System 778 couldn’t handle it anymore...
778: Host, you’ve turned your skills up too high! The male lead’s darkening is going to backfire on me!
Lou Qingnuo: What should we do?
778: Hurry back and give them happy endings to restore the balance!
Lou Qingnuo felt as if a bolt of lightning had struck him. The male leads in these worlds were all dangerous characters. He’d won them over out of the blue, then abandoned them. If he went back now, would they let him off easily?

As Lou Qingnuo was hauled back from a horde of zombies by one of the man’s subordinates, the man sitting in the seat of power turned his cold gaze on him and said mockingly, “What, couldn’t make it out there, so now you’re thinking of your old flame?”
Before Lou Qingnuo could open his mouth, the man seized him by the chin.
