A truly silly beauty, naturally adorable, pampered, teary-eyed sweetheart bottom × sharp-tongued, scheming, sinister domineering daddy top who goes mad when he loses his wife

Shang Huaixi is bound to a System. His mission is to stop the tyrant top from ruling with an iron fist.

He knows he has some education, but not enough to become a court remonstrator, so all he can do is climb into the tyrant's bed and whisper in his ear.

The plan goes smoothly, and the ending is heading in the happiest possible direction, but

You don't fear an opponent as powerful as a god. You fear an ally as stupid as a pig:

The System is leaking sound!

So, starting one day, the tyrant can always hear strange voices:

[Congratulations, Host! You've successfully saved a loyal minister. Mission completion is now at 65%.]

[...Congratulations, Host! Mission completion is now at 72%.]

[...Congratulations, Host! Mission completion is now at 86%.]

As the numbers rise, the tyrant gradually figures it out. Once they reach 100%, this noisy little oriole will leave him.

But how could he let that happen?

With success getting closer and closer, Shang Huaixi is about to go home and inherit a farm.

But

[...Warning! Warning! The target's mental state is rapidly deteriorating! Host, take action immediately!]

Shang Huaixi is utterly confused. Two minutes later:

[Because the target's mental state is too low, the inner world is about to collapse. It will restart in five minutes...]

The System is constantly being repaired, but still costs a fortune. It takes N restarts before the inner world is finally reconstructed.

Shang Huaixi starts the beginner's village storyline again, batting his eyelashes to charm the tyrant into taking him back to the palace.

But once he enters the palace, everything starts going wrong. His mission progress not only stalls, it actually goes backward!

Backward!

Undaunted, Shang Huaixi presses on with his mission, working hard at it, or rather, fishing for three days and drying the nets for two.

Yet the harder he tries, the worse things get.

Something must be wrong!

His first suspect is the System. Shang Huaixi fights it tooth and nail, only to discover that his tyrant husband is controlling the score.

Shang Huaixi has had enough. He throws a tantrum and says he wants to go home

Whenever he throws a fit, the tyrant's mental state drops.

And when it reaches zero, he'll have to restart the beginner's village storyline again...

The tyrant's eyes are bloodshot as he holds Shang Huaixi in his arms.

The emperor, who holds the power of life and death, trembles as he takes Shang Huaixi's hand and says:

"I'll give you anything you want... Just stay."
