Warning! The Steel-Spined Loner's Puppets Have All Become Empresses

After transmigrating to a world ruled by puppeteers, Su Ming realizes something is seriously off about it. Other people's puppets are weapons of war, but here they're all “lifelike companions”? As a top engineer, Su Ming insists, “Women only slow down my sword arm. Only data never lies!” He awakens the Reverse Bond System: whenever one of his puppets falls in love with him, his cultivation skyrockets automatically. To exploit the bug and level up, he decides to act like an emotionless repairman. “Don't move. I'm just checking your core circuits. Why are you blushing?” But then... The aloof sword-immortal puppet: “Master stayed up all night to fine-tune me. He must care about me!” (Ding! Cultivation +9999) The yandere witch puppet: “Master turned down my pain sensors. He's so gentle. I want to lock him up forever!” (Ding! Broke through a major realm) Looking at the room full of top-tier empress puppets gazing at him with eyes full of longing, Su Ming breaks down. “I really just wanted to run a performance test! Don't come any closer!”
