After sleeping for a thousand years, Chu Ying awoke one day in a brand-new sci-fi era.
The System from a thousand years ago had come with him:
"Long time no see, Host! Welcome to the great Transcendent Era. Let's restart our journey to conquer the stars and seas!"
Chu Ying: "Explain yourself."
The System chuckled.
"The usual deal: you have three days left to live."
"Earn faith points to stay alive."

Chu Ying quickly accepted reality. A thousand years ago, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, he had brought ruin to the realm and toyed with its warlords. Now that he had arrived here, was he still supposed to win favor by flattering the powerful? That was something he knew well.
All he had to do was conquer a few people. It couldn't be that hard.
As usual, he had the System list the powerful targets he needed to conquer so he could take them down one by one. But the System's eyes lit up, and it tugged at his sleeve.
"Host, do you know the fastest way to earn faith points in this world?"
Chu Ying followed its gaze to a huge electronic billboard.
"What?"
"Become a global superstar."
"Huh? ..." Chu Ying blinked, trying to make sense of it, then smiled faintly. "That sounds pretty good."

Chu Ying fell in love with being a star.
A thousand years ago, he had to give his all and die in service of the people to win a little faith from the common folk and a sliver of genuine affection from the warlords. But now, all he had to do was reenact the past, and countless people fell for him ...
On screen, the Great Zhou Crown Prince, so clever he seemed almost demonic, triumphed over the world. On variety shows, a fitness freak with special-forces-level stamina kept breaking records. And in the gossip columns, Chu Ying officially reclaimed his parents' family fortune and became a major figure in emerging industries.
Fans 😍: "My fave is freaking amazing!"
Haters 🤯: "Is this guy even human?"
At the same time, the era's so-called "overpowered heroes" came looking for him.
In public, Chu Ying was considerate, gentle, and dazzlingly charming. In private, he was wicked and willful, and he loved watching the powerful bend over backward for love.
"Be good. Don't ask for too much, or you won't be cute anymore."
The heroes gazed up at him. "Okay."
.
In the Transcendent Era, technology advanced at a dizzying pace, but human biology had stagnated. The United Government signed an agreement banning all experiments deemed inhumane, yet it still couldn't stop the "Genesis" organization from infiltrating society.
By then, Chu Ying had won awards around the world and become an undisputed global superstar.
Then he suddenly disappeared, and no one knew where he had gone.
When the "Genesis" human experiments came to light and humanity's survival hung in the balance, the United Government finally revealed its secrets and dispatched a force of ability users to fight for humanity's future.
At the pre-departure battle livestream, a familiar face appeared across the world's holographic displays:
Chu Ying.
"???"
The entire network was stunned.
#My idol went to war?#
#China's heartthrob, superpowered general Chu Ying#
#My fave is saving the world!#
#I knew Chu Ying wasn't human!!!#
#God#
Before they left, the System asked in confusion, "Host QAQ, why would you do something so dangerous?"
The handsome face beneath his crisp military uniform lifted a hand to straighten his collar. "What's the fastest way to earn faith points?"
"Become an international superstar."
"Wrong."
Chu Ying smiled. "It's saving the world."
P.S.:
1. A feel-good, everyone-loves-the-protagonist story, with an absurdly powerful golden finger. The protagonist is the strongest.
2. An overdose of swagger, face-slapping villains, and leveling up.
3. The protagonist isn't cold-hearted. Quite the opposite: he loves all living things. He has always been a romantic, from ancient times to the present, and he can feel sadness and tenderness.
4. The protagonist has never been chaste, in any era or country. On his way to becoming a global superstar, he casually wins over all kinds of overpowered heroes.
Premise: Pure fun!!!!!
