Shen Shitan was a servant boy in the Yong Dynasty. Every day, he either took the blame for his master or got beaten in his place. After accidentally falling into the water, he woke up in the body of the real young master, a cannon-fodder character in a beloved fake-heir novel.
He was a timid, vicious, abandoned child from a wealthy family, a seeker-streamer who was cursed by the entire internet.
The Comeback System waved its flag and cheered: You have to expose your wealthy family's true colors, slap them in the face, and make a comeback! Take back everything that belongs to you!
Shen Shitan, trembling with fear: Expose them? This lowly one wouldn't dare. The most important thing is that my masters are happy!

Forced into a PK challenge and punished with fifty bird's eye chilies, he was grateful. Thank you, Master, for giving me food to eat!
Framed for stealing by the fake young master, he dropped to his knees in a flash and slapped himself left and right. Please calm down, Young Master. I'll slap myself to prove my innocence!
His fiance publicly broke off their engagement. He smashed a teacup, then knelt on the shards. This lowly one isn't worthy of such good fortune. Of course you should break off the engagement, Young Master!
System: Oh no, I bound myself to a spineless pushover. He's never going to make a comeback in this lifetime.

Shen Shitan had a secret: he couldn't feel pain, so he could do whatever he wanted to himself without getting hurt.
He ate bird's eye chilies, and his fake parents and the fake young master ended up in the hospital with chili-induced stomach ulcers.
He livestreamed himself slapping his own face, and the whole internet's haters clutched their swollen cheeks, their heads buzzing.
He dropped to his knees on the shards, and everyone at the banquet burst into tears, kneeling and begging him to get up.
Everyone who shared his pain: !! We can't go on living like this!
--
Shen Shitan, trembling with fear: But what have I done wrong? If it will make my masters happy, I'll take a thorny branch and beg forgiveness right now.
So he broke off a willow branch and started whipping himself as hard as he could.
Everyone, screaming in despair: Stop! You have to stop! Please!
The Comeback System watched the comeback score soar and began to doubt its very existence.

With blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, Xie Ciqing grabbed Shen Shitan's hand as he once again beat himself without mercy. His eyes narrowed dangerously as he whispered like a devil:
"Do you want to be a servant all your life? Don't you want to turn the tables and make the people who bullied you suffer?"
Shen Shitan stared at him in shock. This lowly one...
Xie Ciqing clapped a hand over his mouth. "From now on, I'll teach you how to be their master."
Whether you want to or not, you have to!
