The Pretty Cannon Fodder's Haunted Hotel [Management]

After living for over twenty years, Wen Yunnong was suddenly harmed and learned that he was living inside a book. He was a disposable side character, trapped in the story's plot and unable to escape, even after dozens of loops.

At the same time, a self-proclaimed hotel management System showed up. If he bound himself to it, ran the hotel, and reached the highest level, he could escape the plot, break free from the loop, and be himself again.

The System sang its own praises: [No need to pay 998 or 98. Just confirm the binding and take a luxury hotel home. You even get to escape the plot. What's not to love?]

Wen Yunnong agreed without a second thought. What a deal! He was in! Take a chance and turn a bicycle into a motorcycle. Things couldn't get any worse, could they? Besides, the System had gone to all the trouble of showing up. He couldn't send it away empty-handed.

There was just one little problem:

At other hotels, the guests were all human. His hotel was full of all kinds of strange ghosts and monsters.

[Congratulations, Host, you have successfully bound yourself to a haunted hotel. A new guest will arrive within twenty-four hours. Please be prepared to serve your guest with enthusiasm, fighting spirit, and a strong sense of responsibility.]

Wen Yunnong: ??? What? Ghosts what? Monsters who? What happened to trust between people and Systems?

[Help your first guest fulfill their wish and catch the real culprit who killed them. Upon success, you will receive a 10% plot deviation reward for this world, and your hotel will be upgraded.]

Wen Yunnong, who had been considering slacking off because the System wasn't what he'd expected, sat bolt upright on his deathbed and got straight to work.

Upgrading the hotel wasn't important. That plot deviation reward was the real prize.

At first, an ordinary person accidentally booked a room and screamed all night after checking in. Wen Yunnong thought his business license was about to be revoked. Instead, the hotel became a sensation, hailed as the most uncanny haunted-house attraction ever, with high-budget 3D effects that let you experience close encounters with ghosts in your sleep.

Wen Yunnong: What even is this?

As the hotel upgraded again and again, it became famous throughout all of China, and Wen Yunnong became someone the male and female leads could never hope to match.

At first, the male lead was contemptuous and cold toward Wen Yunnong. Trash like him shouldn't show his face. Later, his face got slapped hard.

At first, the female lead was arrogant and disdainful toward Wen Yunnong. He was just a lovesick dog. Later, she became that dog herself.

Wen Yunnong's response? "Who are you people? Do we know each other?"
