You Promised I’d Be Hated, System. You Lied to Me

Ran Xingchen, a washed-up C-lister who wants nothing more than to slack off, lands at the top of the trending charts after an awkward late-night rehearsal photo with top-tier star and film emperor Gu Hanyu goes viral.

The good news: She’s famous. The bad news: She’s infamous.

Even “better,” a [Scandalous Superstar Training System] binds itself to her on the spot.

The System declares: “Get hated to the extreme, and you’ll naturally become famous! Make trouble and collect negative emotions!”

Fail a mission? How about a combo of electric shocks and headaches?

Ran Xingchen reports for duty through tears, working diligently.

On a live variety show, she eyes Gu Hanyu’s coffee and “accidentally” slips. Instead, she does a jaw-dropping full split in front of everyone, and her skirt rips on the spot.

The whole internet cracks up. He falls silent for two seconds, then picks up her high heel. “...Is this some new kind of coffee wake-up ritual?”

On set, she rushes in just before the film queen Qin Yue’s big scene and demands that a slap be added.

The film queen grabs the director’s hand in turn. “Give her a solo scene for this crazy-beautiful-character act!”

The harder she tries to ruin her own career, the more her reputation veers off course, and her infamy score teeters on the brink.

Then the prestigious Lin family shows up. A DNA test reveals that she’s their real daughter, missing for seventeen years.

The System instantly glitches and shrieks: [Warning! Public favorability has gone off the charts! Logic chain broken! Self-destruct imminent, ]

To save the System, she posts desperately and tags the icy top-tier star: “Next time, I’ll pour the coffee straight in your face :)”

One minute later, Gu Hanyu posts a marriage certificate.

Certificate holder: Gu Hanyu. Her name is clearly visible in the other field.
