Ji Ye is an utterly ordinary Minesweeper prodigy. One day, while playing, his hand slips and he clicks on the last mine that hasn’t been flagged. And then...
The mine actually explodes!
That’s how he transmigrates and gets a countdown Minesweeper System.
The ridiculous System demands that he save the male lead of a novel in exchange for more time on his countdown. If the countdown hits zero, the System will explode!
Ji Ye: ...Wasn’t I supposed to get a golden finger?
That would be bad enough, but Ji Ye asks the System, “Can you show me the original story?”
System: “Insufficient access privileges. Unable to view.”
Ji Ye: “Then at least give me a hint?”
System: “Insufficient survival time. Unable to redeem.”
Ji Ye: “I don’t even know who the male lead is! How am I supposed to save him?”
System: “This is outside the scope of our services. Please resolve it yourself, Host.”
Then Ji Ye hears the System say, “Host’s remaining survival time: 24 hours. The countdown begins now. Please complete your mission as soon as possible.”
As soon as it finishes speaking, a row of red numbers appears in his mind: 23:59:59.
Ji Ye flies into a rage: “You piece of junk, you might as well just explode!”

After Ji Ye finally completes the mission, has his memories erased, and returns to reality, the System comes looking for him again.
System: “An anomaly has been detected in the mission world. The male lead’s mental state has undergone severe fluctuations, and mission progress has reset to zero. Host must return to the mission world and continue the mission, or the System will detonate automatically.”
Ji Ye, who has lost his memory and been forcibly sent back into the mission world: ?
The male lead, upon seeing Ji Ye: instantly soothed, clutching him in a tight embrace.
Ji Ye: Who’s this?
System: “Beep. Mission progress has been restored to full. Mission complete. Host’s memories will now be erased, and Host will be sent back to the original world.”
The male lead looks at his empty arms and breaks down all over again.

1. Not a typical transmigration-into-a-book story.
2. An alternate universe.
