After filling out a survey, Gu Xicun unexpectedly got pulled into a Don't Fall in Love Challenge, in real-life mode, no less.
When he saw his assigned target, Gu Xicun thought to himself: This one's a sure win.
His type was sunny and outgoing, and the System seemed determined to make sure he couldn't lose, matching him with a gloomy, antisocial, possessive young master.
Did this even count as a challenge? Apart from his looks, the young master wasn't Gu Xicun's type at all.
Two months later... Gu Xicun: The young master's sweet, cool, and clingy. I'm sold.
And so, after failing the mission, he was thrown back into the System.
His second mission took place in the world of cultivation. His target was the aloof, celibate, untouchable Changlin Immortal Lord, who seemed to drift through the world like a celestial being.
After his memories were erased for failing the mission, Gu Xicun was calm as still water. Sorry, I'm not interested in a block of wood.
But this untouchable immortal was no pushover. He kept hovering around Gu Xicun day after day, seducing him without even trying.
Unable to take any more of the teasing, Gu Xicun declared righteously: Could you please stop showing up in front of me?
The Changlin Immortal Lord replied haughtily: Fine. Don't regret it.
After Gu Xicun successfully completed his second mission, the System suddenly told him that the Changlin Immortal Lord he'd dismissed so contemptuously was actually Lin Fengming.
Lin Fengming had successfully made Gu Xicun fall in love with him and completed the heart-fluttering challenge. He entered the second world to find Gu Xicun, only to be rejected.
Gu Xicun: I rejected the person I like, and he's really holding a grudge. What do I do?
