Before Ascending the Throne

He Xi, the successful man, the winner in life, the man with no desires, is forced (or rather, willingly chooses) to set out on a mission with System 001 in order to resurrect his ex-wife (not really).

Not long afterward, System 001 says in horror, "The mission requires you to help the male lead ascend the throne, not take the throne yourself."

He Xi, the winner in life, replies calmly, "The wind is too loud. What did you say? I can't hear you."

And 001 dies.

Years later, when the Systems of the next generation ask 001 the secret to success, the "weather-beaten" 001 lights a cigarette and, after a long silence, says, "First, you need a successful Host."

This book is also known as My Host Never Takes the Missions Seriously, How a Hardworking System Fell from Grace, The Villain's Redemption, and A Successful Man's Journey.
