Lan Se is mistakenly dragged by the System into a novel he has only heard of but never read, and is completely baffled.
He has no idea who the protagonist is or how the plot unfolds. The only thing he learns from the System's mission is that the villain is named Yi Bian.
And the damn System runs off as soon as it assigns the mission, leaving him alone, shivering in fear.
In other words, he can only go home by completing the mission, defeating the villain, and fixing the plot.
Before meeting Yi Bian, Lan Se: ??
Why bother fighting a villain?
Is cake not delicious, or are games not fun?
After meeting Yi Bian, Lan Se: Oh, I'm in!
This villain is kind of handsome. I've decided to defeat him with love!
Yi Bian notices that the black-hearted lotus from the neighboring Lan family has recently been hanging around him all the time.
At first, he sneers: Hah. Trying to set your sights on me? Not a chance.
Later, Yi Bian: Ah, this is actually great.
The System returns later to check on the results:
Huh? What the heck?
Why have the male lead I found and the villain gotten together?!
Theme: Life is hard, so cherish every moment as you go.
