When a Cannon-Fodder Male Supporting Character Gets a Princess System [Showbiz]

Next up: Book Transmigration: After Everyone Hated Me, I Became Everyone's Favorite. Launching tomorrow! Blurb: Xi Qing transmigrates into an interstellar school novel as an ugly, universally loathed cannon-fodder character. He arrives just as the original owner is threatening to kill himself over a loudspeaker unless the male lead agrees to date him. Afraid the male lead will break his legs, Xi Qing nervously changes his tune: "To thank my classmates and teachers for looking after me, I'll give each of you a pound of strawberries. They're really sweet!" The crowd, who had been waiting for him to kill himself, burst out laughing: Everyone knows fruits and vegetables in the interstellar era cost more than houses. How could a penniless guy like you afford to give them away? And a whole pound of strawberries? Strawberries are practically extinct now! Everyone waits to see Xi Qing make a fool of himself, until a week later, when Xi Qing drives a truckload of strawberries to school... Everyone: What the heck!? Xi Qing is a groundhog. He's average at everything else, but a natural farmer. In the food-scarce interstellar era, what they need most are people who can farm. Those who make outstanding contributions in this field can even be awarded official rank and noble titles. With his talent, Xi Qing saves the interstellar worlds from famine and becomes the darling of countless people. Xi Qing can grow rice and even lingzhi mushrooms, and he has managed to grow the legendary ginseng fruit, but he can't grow a single blade of grass! Xi Qing, the groundhog who lives on grass, feels like he's going to starve to death. With no other choice, he knocks on the door of the Marshal who owns an entire planet covered in grass. The fluffy groundhog holds out a bowl and asks timidly, "Could I trade food for your grass?" The legendary killing machine of a Marshal replies coldly, "No." Seeing the disappointment on Xi Qing's face, he adds, "Not food. You can trade yourself." P.S. 1. An interstellar farming story. The love interest is everyone's favorite, and the story is indulgently sweet. Blurb for this story: Luo Zhen transmigrates into a book as a cannon-fodder male supporting character. This character was the heroine's childhood friend and devoted himself entirely to taking care of her. Not only did he get nothing in return, but because of her, the male lead and villainous powerhouses kept targeting him, until he lost his reputation and his family was destroyed. The first thing Luo Zhen does after figuring out what's going on is get as far away as possible from the heroine and her circle of admirers. But then he gets bound to a Princess System with a very strange style... System mission one: The Mermaid Princess mission is now active. At 3 a.m. tomorrow, wake your roommate and play him a lullaby. Luo Zhen looks at the second male lead, who is sleeping in the bunk below him and breaks the original owner's legs in the book. His knees ache in anticipation... System mission two: The Snow White mission is now active. Within one minute, snatch the apple from your deskmate after he finishes eating it. Then take a fall and spit the apple out. Luo Zhen looks at the villain sitting beside him, who will eventually destroy his family. His fingers start shaking violently... System mission three: The Thousand and One Nights mission is now active. Starting now, tell your prince a story every day until you've told 1,001 stories. Luo Zhen is furious: What the heck!? Where am I supposed to find a prince!? The male lead: I'm right here. -- Luo Zhen once asked the System why it had chosen him. The System merely asked, "Were you poisoned when you were a child?" Luo Zhen: "Yes." System: "Have you ever been kidnapped?" Luo Zhen: "Yes." System: "Can you understand what small animals are saying?" Luo Zhen: "Yes." System: "Does everyone think your problems get solved thanks to a powerful man?" Luo Zhen: "Yes... What? No!" The male lead: "Yes, that's right." System: "Then you're the princess I've been looking for all these years!!!" [Couple: Ji Yue] P.S. 1. The protagonist is the original owner, so this isn't Book Transmigration in the true sense. 2. All characters are fictional and have no real-life counterparts. 3. The blurb was inspired by a Disney princess meme on Weibo. Theme:
