One-sentence blurb: Turns out I'm the biggest mastermind behind the scenes~~ I feel so weak, helpless, and pitiful~~ Suddenly becoming a big shot is such a hassle.
Lin Muting looks like a scrawny weakling who's been hungry and cold his whole life, all skin and bones. His face is the only decent thing about him.
His whole face practically screams weak, helpless, and pitiful.
Then he discovers he's entered an infinite game.
Lin Muting: …
In the very first instance, Along the River During the Qingming Festival, he's the only traitor in the entire game.
That's right, he's a traitor who can survive only if everyone else dies.
We're doomed!!!
Meanwhile, all the other players are going crazy over this famous painting that supposedly every Chinese person knows.
Who can recite Su Dongpo's Ode to the Red Cliffs without getting a single word wrong?
They're not high schoolers taking their college entrance exams! They've been out of school for decades!
Who can paint Su Dongpo's Withered Trees and Strange Rocks?
They're not painters!!
Who can recite Ouyang Xiu's Record of the Old Drunkard's Pavilion from memory, while also being tested on regular script?
It's the internet age! Who still writes that damned stuff with a brush pen!!!
Can they cut it out? Several of them aren't even Chinese!
Instance: Green Jade Table: Lantern Festival
You've got to be kidding. This instance makes everyone solve lantern riddles. Okay, that's a relief.
But a few hours later...
This damn game. Every lantern riddle comes true, and getting one wrong is practically a trip to hell!
Lin Muting: I once solved every lantern riddle on an entire street and won a cartload of lanterns. You bunch of amateurs.
Couple: Arrogant, refined, rich, devoted, talented gong with split personalities & shou who seems weak, pitiful, and helpless but is actually a true big shot
Notes: 1. Shou-centered. He's good at playing weak to catch the strong and loves showing off.
2. Fans of The Untamed, please stay away.
Theme: Get to know the protagonist of The Little Pitiful One
