Some stories aren't about how deeply the top and bottom love each other. They're about love and hate tangled together: a string of melodramatic misunderstandings, a bloody fight where neither will say what's on their mind, and an ending where all that love comes to nothing.
As the "Pure Hate System," 448's job is to...
Guide each Host to transmigrate into a book, act recklessly, and spend their whole lives entangled with their beloved, trapped in a love-hate relationship with no happy ending.
...But something seems off about this batch of Hosts QWQ!!!

[World One: Pheromone Attraction]
Pretend playboy, spoiled Alpha CEO top x cool, gloomy Alpha professor bottom
System: You're both Alphas. Your pheromones attract and repel each other. You'll be entangled for life, and even removing your glands won't separate you. You'll never find happiness.
CEO: I understand. I'll hate him.
(Six months later)
"I've got a new research direction."
Professor: "Are you interested in having a child?"
CEO: "We're seriously working on hating each other. Don't drag another little life into this!"
Professor: ...
Professor: "What should we eat tonight? Let's go out."
CEO: "Lobster stir-fry!"

[World Two: There Is No Love in Esports]
Down-on-his-luck veteran top x rising star rookie bottom
System: He approached you under the pretense of love, then took your starting position and made people think you threw matches, until the online abuse drove you insane.
You bind him to you for life with a marriage certificate, then jump off a building on the day he wins the championship, ruining his reputation.
Veteran: Leave it to me. I'll make him hate me forever!
(Six months later)
The viewers stare, stunned, as the rookie, dressed in the veteran's team jersey, solemnly gives him an intimate couples' gift.
The veteran strolls by, yawning, steals a rice ball from the rookie's desk, and taps him on the head.
The rookie tugs at his sleeve. "Log in. Let's play matchmaking."
Veteran: "Are you giving me your buff?"
Rookie: "Yeah, you can have it."
Viewers: Wait, weren't they supposed to be bitter rivals, with the rookie stealing the veteran's starting position?!

[World Three: Immortals and Demons Cannot Coexist]
Heaven-blessed Immortal Venerable who falls to the demon path x bold, flamboyant Demon Lord
System: You fall into the demon realm and get close to him to send intelligence back to the immortals. Deep down, you hate him and want him dead, but every assassination attempt fails, and he abuses you instead.
Immortal Venerable: I'll make him regret this for the rest of his life!
(Six months later)
"I hate you."
Lounging on the Demon Lord's golden couch, the Immortal Venerable says lazily, "You abandoned your husband and child."
The Demon Lord laughs helplessly and tugs at the end of his hair. "If you let that mutated little potbellied pig you're raising climb into bed with us again, I'll hate you too."

Years later,
The System clutches a cyber-style honorary banner, looking utterly bewildered amid flowers and screams of excitement.
Isn't it the Pure Hate System?
Why are they giving it a disgusting award called "Best Little Sweetheart Matchmaker"!!!!
Well, it's not bad, actually.
Heh heh.
[Reader Advisory]
1. The tops and bottoms are a 99% match. Some are older, some younger. Everyone is handsome and powerful. Comments expressing hate, trying to break up the couples, or arguing over who tops and bottoms will be deleted.
2. At heart, this is a silly, sweet story, with idealized tops and bottoms. Its style is a little different from the author's previous books. Don't expect anything too cerebral. No pregnancy in the main story, though the extras make no promises.
3. In World Two, the bottom is a jungler and the top is a marksman. It's perfectly normal for the jungler to give the buff to him later on. There's no intention of setting up a threesome with the other three teammates!
