Scheming, mean, and sporting a pile of secret identities: an alpha top, paired with a cool, refined, married beta bottom who is a third-rate actor
Blurb:
Reborn overnight, he thought he had landed a cheat-powered, face-slapping revenge story.
Who could have guessed Shang Ji had picked up the wrong script, and ended up with a scum-bag System instead?
In his previous life, for some reason, Shang Ji was never able to perform with his cool, beautiful wife. His wife had done exactly as asked, wearing nothing but a loose shirt, with nothing underneath and two long, pale legs on display. Yet even with the arrow nocked, he still couldn't let it fly. In the end, all he could do was sigh in regret and leave.
In this life, after a car ran over his cerebral cortex, he finally came to his senses. As it turned out, in this damned world, he was written as an impotent husband, while his sweet, soft wife was coveted by countless people. The worst offender was the overpowered protagonist of this world, who spent every day either wishing him dead or hoping he'd get divorced.
Now that he'd gotten a second chance, the damn System actually thought he'd been insufficiently impotent in his previous life, which was why his wife hadn't ended up with the overpowered protagonist. So it angrily decided to turn him into a total scumbag, issuing him a series of ridiculous missions, including but not limited to:
Insult Fang Zhuo once.
Shang Ji: Sure, baby, you're so hot. Are you asking to get fucked?
Beat Fang Zhuo once.
Shang Ji: Sure, spanking counts as beating.
Ask Fang Zhuo for a divorce.
Shang Ji: Sure, baby, if you still can't get pregnant this time, we'll get divorced.
Everything proceeded in an orderly fashion, until one day the System excitedly noticed Fang Zhuo had started sneaking around and avoiding Shang Ji. It suspected their marriage was falling apart and figured this was finally the perfect chance for the overpowered protagonist to swoop in and steal him away.
But when it turned around, Fang Zhuo was nestled in Shang Ji's arms, looking blissful as he said, "Honey, I'm pregnant."
System: What the hell???
Later, on a dating reality show...
The overpowered protagonist threw his money around and used his influence to get himself cast as a mystery guest. He thought he could finally get away from Fang Zhuo's ever-present husband.
But when he arrived at their destination, a romantic island brimming with the air of love, he saw Shang Ji lounging on the beach in sunglasses. Beside him was their little one, who had just learned to walk.
The overpowered protagonist was floored. "What are you doing here?!"
Shang Ji casually put an arm around his wife. "Sorry, this island belongs to my family."
In short: A carefree, laid-back man decides to put in the effort for love!
