I Can Be the Top, But You’ll Have to Pay Extra

[No backlog. I write wherever the mood takes me and post as soon as I'm done.] From a visitor from beyond the heavens who calls itself a System, Jueming learns that this world is made up of three crematorium-romance novels. As it happens, there's a vacancy for one of the male leads who is supposed to be dragged through the emotional wringer. To keep the world from being destroyed, the System seeks out Jueming, whom its programming has judged to be the best fit. Jueming doesn't want to deal with it. “I'm a Demon Venerable. I'm not taking on some world-saving job.” The System detects Jueming's weakness. “Complete the mission and you'll get lots and lots of spirit stones!” Jueming, whose research has nearly left him with nothing but the clothes on his back: “…” Damn it! … For the money [crossed out] for the sake of saving the world, Jueming diligently follows the plot. But the story keeps springing all kinds of unexpected problems on him, sometimes by design and sometimes by accident. The aloof master who's supposed to be cold on the outside but soft on the inside is just plain cold. Jueming falls at the very first hurdle, before he can even become his disciple. The furnace who's supposed to be ravaged by cultivation before being picked up by a demonic woman from the Hehuan Sect gets his scenes delayed, and Jueming accidentally takes him in early. Then there's the lofty beauty who falls into a brothel, who's supposed to be the story's bottom but gets rewritten as the top and sleeps with all his clients… Jueming: I'm so fucking screwed. Worst of all, his nemesis, who's always looking for a fight, has gotten leverage over him. “You don't want people finding out that the mighty Demon Venerable is chasing after a man, do you?” “You don't want people finding out that the mighty Demon Venerable secretly wears women's clothes and pretends to be a woman, do you?” “You don't want people finding out that the mighty Demon Venerable goes to brothels… Wait, you actually went to one of those places?!” Jueming: “Maybe this world should just be destroyed!” The true love interest is his nemesis. The male leads and mission targets have romantic entanglements, but after he confirms his relationship with the true love interest, he only loves him.
