[Two male leads + childhood friends + transmigration into a book + System + cultivation + devoted to each other + happy ending]
Overworked office drone Shen Zhao dies from working overtime and opens his eyes inside a male-oriented cultivation novel, as the Shen family's cannon-fodder third young master, who has just offended the male lead beyond all measure.
The original male lead, Xie Tingyun, is a textbook overpowered hero: he entered Treading Snow Sect at fourteen, tested as having a supreme wind spirit root, formed his core at nineteen, and became the youngest Golden Core cultivator in the Hongmeng Spirit Continent in a thousand years.
But Shen Zhao remembers the ending: this overpowered hero has his dantian crippled, his spiritual roots stolen, and his cultivation destroyed, before retreating alone into the mountains to await death.
Even more absurdly, the Destiny System binds itself to the wrong character and assigns him a mission: raise the overpowered hero's luck value from negative ten to nine hundred and ninety-nine.
With his luck value at negative ten, he can only rely on raising the hero to stay alive.
Offering comfort, taking disasters in his place, snatching opportunities, and face-slapping villains, Shen Zhao only wants to be good friends with the male lead and live peacefully until the end.
Who knew that once the overpowered hero grew up and made something of himself, the way he looked at Shen Zhao would get stranger and stranger?
He used to say, "Keep away from me." Now it's, "Go on, try running."
Shen Zhao: Wait, aren't we brothers?
