The Scumbag School Hunk Got Played by Me [System]

--Next up: Save Me a Spot for My New Novel, I'm Livestreaming in Heaven--

Pei Shen, the infamous deadbeat student at Haichuan No. 1 High School, seems wild and unruly, but he's actually a lovesick puppy chasing Lu Wenxu, the top student and campus heartthrob.

Confessing during the flag-raising ceremony, sending 999 roses, and other such grand gestures are all routine for him.

Until one day, he has a dream.

In it, Lu Wenxu, who's usually so aloof, not only insults him for being a deadbeat student, but also has one of Pei Shen's kidneys removed to save his own unrequited love.

Even worse, Pei Shen realizes this might not be a dream at all. It may be something destined to happen in the future.

Pei Shen runs away, buying a standing-room ticket and fleeing in the middle of the night.

By chance, Pei Shen gets bound to a Study System. If he doesn't start studying properly, he'll be forced to take part in certain utterly gruesome intimate activities with Lu Wenxu.

At first, Pei Shen doesn't believe it. I just don't want to study! So what? You've got the guts, kill me!

Later, he practically wants to kneel before the System and apologize:

I was wrong. You might as well just kill me.

At last, things are peaceful. Lu Wenxu is initially relieved, but as time passes, he can't help following Pei Shen with his eyes whenever he sees his back.

Day one: Hah, playing hard to get.

Day two: He's throwing a tantrum. No big deal.

A month later: He's with someone else? He doesn't want me anymore? Huh?

*

After struggling through his studies for ages, Pei Shen suddenly sees the light.

Why the hell would I date? Is it more fun than studying? Is it better than coming first in class?

Even if I'm going to be someone's lovesick puppy, it can only be Wang Houxiong or Xue Jinxing!

One day, Lu Wenxu finally can't take it anymore and corners him in the stairwell. "Why are you ignoring me? ... Which matters more to you, studying or me?"

Pei Shen replies helplessly, "Studying, obviously!"

Lu Wenxu sounds a little hurt. "So you don't want me anymore, is that it?"

--Save Me a Spot for My Upcoming Novel, I'm Livestreaming in Heaven--

Huai Zhen, a junior employee at a livestreaming company, has just one wish in life: to earn enough money to pay off his mortgage as soon as possible.

After drifting for ages on the edge of love and pain... no, hunger and poverty, he makes a long journey to a temple to pray for a great blessing.

"Gods of every kind, please make sure I sign a major streamer this year. Your humble devotee will eat vegetarian for the rest of his life."

"Really? Then give me that fried chicken leg you just bought."

At this, Huai Zhen looks to the side. Holy crap, Marshal Tianpeng?!

Cosplay is so popular these days! Inspired, Huai Zhen talks the man into doing a livestream. To his surprise, Marshal Tianpeng becomes a top-tier star in the mukbang world.

What surprises him even more is that the man really is Marshal Tianpeng.

From then on, Huai Zhen begins a fantastical journey livestreaming for the immortals of Heaven.

The Dark Lady from the beauty channel: "This is this year's trendiest rotten-tomato shade~"

The All-Seeing Eye and the All-Hearing Ear from the gossip channel: "That movie star has had an illegitimate child for ages."

Even the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess switch to the music channel and start rapping: "A thunderclap, a power that pierces the heavens, a golden hammer that brings the sky crashing down!"

And then there's this familiar face:

"Double-tap 666, everyone! I'm going to show you how to cook myself in an alchemy furnace!"

Great Sage! Please stop showing off your powers!!!

With all these big names on board, Huai Zhen no longer has to worry about money. Just as he's about to pay off his mortgage, he's pulled into a terrifying livestream in the Underworld.

The man before him, dressed in black with red eyes and unparalleled good looks, is Chi Xiao, the ghost general of Fengdu.

Chi Xiao corners him. "Have you been avoiding me lately?"

Huai Zhen waves his hands. "No, no. I've just been busy paying off my mortgage."

Chi Xiao frowns. "Isn't my residence in Ghost City big enough for you?"

Huai Zhen is about to cry. "Bro, how about we get a place in the world of the living for a change..."
