Synopsis

[Powerful, aloof System × Brooding Host who wants to die but never says what he means]

Ling Yi × Xi Yan

Both are each other's first and only love; sweet romance, no angst, focused on their relationship, with some career-related plot. Secondary couple: Yan Shiyang × Qi Yan (they appear quite a bit early on, less so later).

System 001 bound to the wrong person for the first time, linking up with a brooding Host just as he was about to turn evil. It spoke, and the Host told it to get lost. It spoke again, and the Host told it to get lost again...

“Tasks must be completed before you can be unbound.”

The brooding Host had no choice but to finish his tasks, albeit reluctantly. With the System's help, he went from being an unwanted son of a wealthy family to a successful young man. But then, one day, the System suddenly disappeared. The Host searched for a long time, and when he couldn't find it, he reverted to his old ways. Then, at a banquet, the newest rising star in Ningcheng took his wrist. A cool voice sounded by his ear: “Host, long time no see.”

The brooding Host blushed, shook off his hand, and turned to leave. Still not satisfied, he turned back and stepped on his foot...

Later, the Host learned that the System had been paired with many Hosts before him. He got sarcastic and jealous every day, so the System pinned him down without another word and proved through action who it loved.

(The blurb is a little messy, so please bear with me ⌯oᴗo⌯)

The System isn't aloof in the traditional sense. It's a dutiful, procedural, aloof System. The Host is brooding but soft, never says what he means, and is always trying to die, so he's passive about everything.

The System isn't a System in the traditional sense, either.

Falling in Love With the System Is the Best Kind of Romance!

I mean, the System is the only one who truly understands the protagonist. The System helps the protagonist the most, and the protagonist helps the System level up. They're such a perfect match, right? Yeah, I don't have any stories like that, so please recommend some to me!!! (drops to their knees)

Please Recommend Stories Where the Host and System Fall in Love. The System, Not the Lord God!!!

The Host isn't useless and has plenty of his own ideas. He has no feelings for his mission targets and relies entirely on his acting skills. The System treats him really well and is very doting. Ideally, it should be a double male lead story!!! 🌝

The overall tone is sweet, but there's a little bit of tragedy at the beginning. Xiao Yan's family is really wicked and ruthless. It gives me the feeling that people's bottom line is so low. The Xi family is rotten from the root. Xiao Yan is really a rare good bamboo shoot in a field of bad bamboo.

I followed it to the end, it was a really good and heartfelt story. I just wanted more plot/romance for the main couple. It's not that the side couples are bad, but their romance was really good and sweet. 💕💕💕💕

So beautiful! May the young couple be happy forever! I love it so much! Did you see that? It's really good! Come and see!

It's so good! Xiao Yan's early life was really tough; she was always being "pushed" along. The accidental binding was perhaps fate, as the original host and Xiao Yan became good friends. The future of 001's body remains a mystery, but it's actually quite nice.

It's quite good. There's a lot of content about the original host, Qi Yan, at the beginning, but Qi Yan is really a good person, a little sunshine, not blindly kind, and also a bit tragic. He genuinely cares for Yan Yan. Then 001 becomes human and lives happily ever after with Yan Yan. Big Brother Ling Yu really loves gossip. The Ling family is all very kind.
