Shi Tingyun transmigrated into a book and was bound to a vicious System that came with a comment feed.
The comments told him that the junior brother in front of him, who was crying pitifully, was adored by everyone, while he was just a stepping stone destined to have his bones ripped out and muscles torn away.
Shi Tingyun: Got it. I know how to handle this one. I'll take the evil path and speedrun it.
While the adored one's harem members were fighting over his affections, Shi Tingyun used a tree branch to trigger an infinite combo, pinning the secret realm's strongest monster to the ground and beating it senseless.
The comments flooded in: [Other people cultivate by comprehending the Dao, but you cultivate by exploiting System bugs?!]
And that wasn't all.
Chu Xinglan, the aloof Sword Venerable who was far and away the strongest in the original story, turned out to be severely directionally challenged and constantly sleepy.
Shi Tingyun immediately latched onto him, turning the adored one's ultimate dream lover into his own personal carry.
When he encountered a monster he couldn't beat, Shi Tingyun simply shoved Chu Xinglan forward. "Honey, chop him down!"
After cutting down his enemy with a sword capable of destroying the world, the Sword Venerable would turn around and fall instantly asleep against Shi Tingyun's shoulder.
The adored male lead stared in shock at the ultimate backer Shi Tingyun had stolen away.
The System shrieked in a meltdown: Host, you've completely wrecked the world's main plot!
Shi Tingyun: Shut up. Make one more sound and I'll unplug your server.
