Lin Moyu is eighteen and suffers from severe social anxiety.
He fears crowds, stammers when he speaks, and lives by one rule: “They can't see me, they can't see me, they can't see me.”
On his first day of school, he faints in front of 3,500 people. When he wakes up, he finds himself bound to a social-butterfly System that calls itself “The Life of the Party.”
The System's logic: fight poison with poison. The more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen.
Its first mission: take the stage and belt out “Loyalty to the Nation.”
So he cracks on the high notes, sings off-key, and finishes with a contorted expression.
Then he becomes famous.
The campus forums fill with memes of his singing face, and people point him out wherever he goes: “That's him! The guy who sang like his life depended on it!”
And that's not all.
The System starts issuing even more ridiculous missions:
Get Xia Wanqing, the chairwoman's daughter, to say, “You're really interesting.”
Make the frail, talented Jiang Chuyi smile from the heart.
Get Qin Xiaoye, president of the esports club, to admit, “You're one of us.”
And…
In front of Su Nianqing, his childhood friend and creditor, the System suddenly stops working. Forced to show his true self, he stammers before her all-seeing eyes.
When a socially anxious master of inner monologues is forced to switch between four different personas around four girls:
a charming jokester, a clumsy protector, a master of dirty talk, and… his true self.
He says: I just want to be invisible.
The System says: No, you don't.
The girls say: Lin Moyu, who are you really?
This is the story of someone who fears people to the extreme, forced by the System to torment them in turn.
It's also the story of someone who finally learns to step into the crowd.
