This novel has two storylines: a fantasy main plot and a slice-of-life romance.
The main plot revolves around a ridiculously troublesome System that loves to subvert expectations. It is a power fantasy, and the protagonist only ever gets the short end of the stick when dealing with the System. He suffers physically, but never emotionally!
The romance is a slow-burn, pure-love story with one heroine.
A refreshing, unconventional power fantasy with a lighthearted, comedic tone.
Fantasy storyline:
Chen Ming transmigrates to another world and awakens a System, but it takes two whole years for the System to bind to him.
During those two years, in a rural area with scarce spiritual energy, he relies on a single Qi cultivation technique, learning through repeated trial and error until he manages to reach the Golden Core Realm.
His talent and insight are frighteningly impressive. It seems he can get by just fine without the System.
Two years later, the System finally binds to him, but he hesitates.
He can't shake the feeling that something is off about the System. Maybe some powerful expert created it to control him or steal his talent.
So, for the first time, he refuses the System.
But the punishment that follows wipes out all his cultivation!
“If the System wipes out my cultivation every time, how am I supposed to cultivate at all? And if I don't cultivate, how will I ever get home?”
Romance storyline:
Chen Ming receives a quest from the System.
Hoping to break the stalemate, he simply refuses the quest at first, then secretly sneaks over to its location.
There, inside a cave, he runs into a stunning young woman.
To his surprise, the damn System tells him to steal the girl's clothes!
Does he look like the kind of guy who would do that?
But then he thinks it over. Since this girl is connected to the System, he needs to find out who she really is.
After mulling it over, he makes his move.
Who knew that on his very first attempt, he'd accidentally pull out a lock of the immortal maiden's hair!
What happens next...
“Waaah... I'm ruined, and it's all your fault!”
“Get out of here! I only sealed your spiritual power and made you take your first dump ever. Is that really such a big deal?”
