Lin Zhou dies suddenly with an unfinished PowerPoint still in his hands. When he opens his eyes again, he has become a disposable scholar doomed to die within three chapters, bound to a System that orders him to fix the plot.
Faced with a heroine waiting to use him as a “catalyst” and a male lead eager to step on him to climb higher, the former office drone believes in only one thing: staying safe.
He avoids the plot during the imperial exams and earns travel money, watches the rich family’s domestic battles from the sidelines, acts obedient to dodge hidden attacks within the palace walls, and conceals his abilities while cultivating in the immortal realm...
When the System warns him that he has strayed from the main plot, he retorts, “Does surviving to the end not count as completing the mission?”
This is the story of how he uses his practical mindset to stay alive in all sorts of ways across different worlds, while incidentally throwing their plots into chaos. Want to step on him to climb higher? Ask him first if he’ll let you.
