[Story Blurb]

Still grinding through monsters to level up? You're outdated!

Sell junk for cash instead!

Sure, the wasteland is a world where civilization has collapsed and resources are scarce. Ruins lie everywhere, and not only are all kinds of mutated creatures vicious enough to make you their next meal if you let your guard down, there are also depraved villains roaming the streets, ready to rob you blind and leave you for dead.

But!

In this post-apocalyptic future, mutated creatures fill the sky, bioweapons roam the land, and humanity is a weak species barely clinging to survival. Everything except humans can be recycled and sold for cash!

Discarded medical equipment can fetch five thousand gold. Mutated creature limbs can fetch ten thousand. Bioweapons are even more popular!

Sell junk and get rich!

Pay to get stronger!

Pay fifty thousand to upgrade to System 2.0!

Pay five hundred thousand to upgrade to System 3.0!

Pay five million to upgrade all the way to System 4.0!

Clear prices, honest dealing!

We'll put you on the fast track to a life of showing off, picking up hotties, and hunting monsters!

Young man! What are you waiting for? Join us and save the world!

Facing the System's relentless persuasion, Jiang Xiaoluo, the male lead of a popular male-oriented web novel who has crossed into this world, is sorely tempted...

From the moment Chu Bojun was born, he was destined to be shackled and locked away like a caged bird in a tower.

His only freedom was to lose himself in sleep and embark on all kinds of adventures in his dreams.

Sometimes, he would wonder if one day someone might come along, riding on a rainbow cloud, and take him on a free and unexpected adventure...

Then one day, borrowing someone else's body, he met a young soldier who could cleave his chains with a single slash...

In short, the male lead of a popular male-oriented web novel is transported to a post-apocalyptic future. To survive with his precious companion, the System lures him into making money by recycling junk and paying to level up, while he also happens to fall into a pure romance. [Very misleading!]

A wasteland apocalypse story with plot-driven leveling, reverse transmigration into a book, a System, and a golden finger. A power fantasy with a one-on-one romance.

Male-oriented leveling-story protagonist Jiang Xiaoluo, top x pure-romance, artsy beauty Chu Bojun, bottom.

(The bottom uses a clone as an alt to date the top early on, then returns to his real body later.)

The bottom is beautiful, strong, and rich, not miserable (he's too crazy to think he's miserable).

The top is tall, handsome, and powerful, but poor (no matter, his lover is rich).

[New Story Blurb]

A malicious switch at birth left Lin Moxuan branded as an illegitimate child until he was fourteen.

After finally being switched back, he thought he could at last earn his family's approval.

But the moment they treated him as dead, he finally understood: he had only been fooling himself!

In their eyes, he had always been a second-rate nobody!

As a son, he was only a second-rate failure in his father's eyes.

As a brother, he was only a second-rate fake in the eyes of his siblings.

As a student, he was only a second-rate prospect in his teachers' eyes.

As an actor, he was only a second-rate star with more scandals and insults than notable work in the eyes of the audience.

As a lover, he was only a second-rate substitute in the eyes of his fiance, good for nothing but paving the way for the man in his heart.

They didn't just use him. They trampled on him, then tried to emotionally manipulate him into making way for Lin Mojin, who had already taken over his life!

Lin Moxuan was furious! He refused to accept it!

When he got a second chance at life, he crawled back from hell and became completely twisted!

After his transformation, he made them all pay!

The Lin family begged him to return as their true young master.

His father came to him again and again, asking him to return and inherit the family business.

His older brother and sister tearfully begged him to come home, saying he would always be part of the family.

His teachers shamelessly went around proclaiming him their star pupil.

The haters who had once flooded his page with insults could only swallow their bitterness and watch his career flourish as he gained both fame and fortune.

Even the fiance who had once looked down on their engagement knelt in the rain and begged him to come back.

Ha...

But Lin Moxuan's twisted nature was beyond repair. All he did was add fuel to their road to ruin...

He Lianyue had merely glanced a little too long at the poodle who took pride in wearing a collar at the Lin residence. He never expected the Lin family to deliver that person to his bed that night.

But this wasn't the right person.

Instead, they'd sent him a feral kitten, drugged and covered in wounds, still baring its fangs.

The kitten even bit his hand, leaving a mark.

The bite mark faded with time, but it left its stamp on his heart.

* A fictional modern setting, all in service of the plot.

* No redemption for the whole cast. They all get their comeuppance.

* Old-school melodrama. Please go easy on me.

* The top changes.

A breathtakingly beautiful, arrogant, and intense mad kitten of a bottom. He's a pitiful victim early on, then grows ambitious and career-driven. (He's not a good person.)

A seemingly flirtatious, wealthy, refined top who is actually devoted and family-minded. He's an expert at handling cats. (He's the bottom's tranquilizer.)

Theme: The male leads struggle alongside humanity as they face the wasteland and the fate of the human race.
