Qiu Huai dreams of doing nothing and living off others, but before he can even get started, the System kicks him into the world of a book.
What can Qiu Huai do? If you don't show them what you've got, they'll think you're a pushover! So he goes off the deep end.
The System lets out a piercing shriek. "No! Host, you can't make the female lead fall in love with you. Don't forget our slogan!"
Qiu Huai bellows, "Take the greasy man's path and make her give up on love!"
The System says, "...Good one."
So he goes even further off the deep end. One day, he cheers for the female lead at a competition. "Woman, have you fallen for this handsome, dashing me yet?"
The female lead's eyes clear at once. Get lost. You're so gross.
He gets his answer and smiles faintly. So this is the joy of being even more unhinged than everyone else. But if you spend enough time by the river, you'll eventually get your shoes wet. One day, he gets the lowest score in his grade, and the original owner of the body he's inhabiting wakes up furious. Xia Chuzhi says ominously, "If you don't come first in your grade, you'll pawn your soul to me."
Qiu Huai feigns shyness. "Darling, you love me that much?"
Xia Chuzhi says, "..." What sin did I commit to deserve this?
