As an artificial System, Qi Jiu's mission is to help the Host become a winner in life.
But this Host refused to listen to advice, insisting on following a revenge-and-punish-the-villains storyline, and eventually brought about his own death.
To complete his own mission, Qi Jiu took over the Host's body and stepped into the entertainment industry.
Qi Jiu had two goals:
1. Fulfill the Host's dying wish for revenge.
2. Reach the top of the entertainment industry, then retire and return to the System Realm.
When his haters unexpectedly learned that Qi Jiu planned to "retire as soon as he reached the top," they mocked him for daydreaming.
But at some point, Qi Jiu became everyone's favorite. An internationally renowned director, a hit-making comic artist, and a genius web novelist all began showering him with opportunities, helping him get closer to his goal of "retiring as soon as he reached the top."
As his haters came around, they also started to panic!
His fans tried everything to stop Qi Jiu from retiring, but nothing worked.
Just when they were losing all hope, Qi Jiu suddenly turned against his best friend, Huo Jingchi.
The two fought over trending topics and resources, and tried to sabotage each other's works... Huo Jingchi was the last obstacle on Qi Jiu's road to retirement.
Qi Jiu's fans all defected to the other side: "Brother Chi, you can do it! You're our only hope of stopping Brother Jiu from retiring!"
*
Huo Jingchi had a secret:
He was in love with his System, Qi Jiu.
Unfortunately, after Qi Jiu tricked him into completing the final mission, he promptly severed their bond and returned to the System Realm.
After being reborn, Huo Jingchi decided to be a Host who would never amount to anything this time.
As long as he didn't become a winner in life, Qi Jiu's mission couldn't be completed, and he'd have to stay bound to Huo Jingchi forever.
But something went wrong. When the two were supposed to be bound, Huo Jingchi waited and waited, but Qi Jiu never showed up.
Huo Jingchi figured Qi Jiu must have bound himself to the wrong Host. He searched the entertainment industry for people who might be "Qi Jiu's Host," but never found a thing.
Until Huo Jingchi realized that his best friend Qi Jiu, whom he'd met after being reborn, was actually the very System "Qi Jiu" he'd been yearning for.
Huo Jingchi: "Retire as soon as you reach the top? You can forget about it."

Forthcoming Novel: "???-Level Protected Person"
In an era overrun by monsters, Fu You ate so many of them that they became an endangered species, saving the world.
After Fu You died, he transmigrated a thousand years into the future. He discovered that people could now take down little monsters all by themselves, so he happily settled into a lazy life, adopting a little sister and a few pets.

January 1, 3030: The Global Monster Ranking was updated.
The top three monsters on the list had all been replaced by unknown SSS-level monsters, and each one now had an extra stat: [Master: ■■]
The world was in an uproar.
"SSS-level monsters only exist in history books! Three of them showed up at once? That's insane!"
"Master... All three SSS-level monsters have the same master?"
"This is bad. If the [Master] so much as loses their temper, our world might be destroyed."
"The Federation should do something. Is there a plan?"
In preparation for a potential disaster, the Federation's Key Protected Persons List added a new entry: [???-Level Protected Person]
The person to be protected was identified as: the Master.
After the new law was announced, Fu You was envious. "The [Master] gets incredible treatment. I wonder who it is."
His little sister said with certainty, "It's you."
Fu You replied, "I hope so, too."
"You don't need to hope. It's you."
Fu You stopped arguing. "Still, SSS-level monsters really do taste good."
He'd barely swallowed a mouthful of saliva when...
The turtle on the table hid in its shell, the fish scattered in the tank, and the cat in his arms ran off before he could pet it.
Fu You was baffled. What was going on?
His little sister: "It's just the survival instinct of SSS-level monsters... I hope the Federation finds me soon. I've already sacrificed so much to protect the world and make sure this monster's Master doesn't get the chance to lose his temper..."

After being recruited, Fu You spent his days having his pets work and taming little monsters for the Federation, living a comfortable life of eating for free and waiting to die.
One day, Fu You got a monster-taming assignment and was sent to its location. When he saw the target, his face instantly turned pale.
The other person smiled and held out a still-beating heart. "It's been a thousand years. Look, my heart still beats for you."
Fu You: "..."
So this is a monster-taming job?
Fine. He'd beat this little monster up first.
