I Only Meant to Praise the Skills, but I Won People's Hearts

Urban transmigration, System, grounded realism, an underdog's rise, an ensemble cast, and standing up for what's right. No overwhelming superpowers: skills and principles are what break the deadlock.

Lin Xu transmigrates straight into a living hell.

He wakes up in the body of a recent college graduate, unemployed from day one. With barely any money, he struggles to find work and is repeatedly rejected. Then he gets ripped off at a shady noodle shop, while his family keeps pressuring him and his job applications disappear into a black hole. The road ahead is pitch-black.

Just as he begins to lose his way, the [Heartbound System] activates right on schedule.

By living up to its principles, he can draw and upgrade all kinds of practical skills.

Lin Xu anchors himself with a set of twelve values and is the first to unlock [Rhetorical Insight], which lets him see through verbal traps at a glance.

When faced with unscrupulous shop owners who overcharge customers and maliciously sabotage job seekers, he gathers evidence and reports them under the law, using the rules to shatter their arrogance.

He stays true to himself, learns new skills, and solves problems that others are powerless to face or see through.

When someone falls into a scam, he speaks up and exposes it. When someone has nowhere else to turn, he offers a hand. He helps talented people with ideals who are mired in hardship find a way forward, drawing countless ordinary people out of the mud and into his orbit.

When Lin Xu wants to stop: all he wanted was to slowly build up practical skills to make a better living. Without even trying, he gathered a group of like-minded people struggling to get by, and they all pitched in to push him onward!
