The Saiweisi primary plane is about to evaluate the Systems with the lowest scores in the annual assessment.

They are sent into small worlds and bound to Hosts in hopes of passing.

Examiner: What are your criteria for choosing a Host?

Systems (in unison): The best-looking one!

They stare at each other, then start fighting

“Damn it! My Host is the best-looking!”

[Exam One] Tragedy Reversal System (completed)

★ E-rank human, fake male god top x S-rank male insect, gentle and elegant bottom

He Xian is selfish and scheming, yet uses his handsome looks to fashion himself into an unattainable “white moonlight.”

After faking his death to complete his mission, people still remember him for four hundred years.

Hillis Anqiluo, a great noble of the insect race, a top-tier star in politics, and an interstellar tycoon, is adored by countless people, yet no one can touch his heart.

All anyone has heard is that he once had a human lover whom he loved deeply, but who has since died.

[Exam Two] Social Climber System (completed)

★ Pure-hearted genius of the Daoist arts top x Refined scoundrel, ghost of the Heavenly Dao bottom

Wen Yi, an orphan raised in a Taoist temple, travels from the countryside to the big city to meet his betrothed. The woman’s elders look down on him, and with nowhere to go that night, he crouches on the roadside and gets talked into bonding with a strange System.

System: Stick with me and you’ll get food. Are you in?

Duped Wen Yi: Sure, sure.

Later, when he’s used as bait and chased by ghosts, the System: Hold on, if you’d told me this was the job, I’d never have bonded with you, even if you beat me to death!

[Exam Three] Protagonist Development System (completed)

★ Powerful, villainous top x Sickly, captive songbird protagonist bottom

Zhou Beiyan, the base lord of Base City 3213, loves teasing cats and dogs and has a thoroughly nasty streak. He kept a songbird pet for three years, only to discover it wasn’t what he’d been sold when the city fell and everyone died.

The damn slave trader had passed off a snake they couldn’t sell as a delicate little songbird and charged him a fortune.

Zhou Beiyan, who had spent his life tricking others, only learned on his deathbed that he’d been played like this. It was a colossal humiliation.

Zang Qing, a promising military academy student, was accidentally injured and became a cripple who could no longer take beast form. His unscrupulous parents sold him into the slave market for food, and a notorious city lord bought him.

He thought his fate was now bound to this man, but Base 3213 was destroyed one day. Zhou Beiyan died, and Zang Qing’s heart died with him.

When he opened his eyes again, Zang Qing was back three years in the past. A System told him: You’re going to become the protagonist’s man.

[Exam Four] True Love Search System (updating)

★ Talented, amorous, witty transmigrated prince top x four candidates for true love, all bottoms

Qi Huaiyuan, courtesy name Boshan, was born in the autumn of 1915.

At the age of thirty-five, one night in this romantic Republican-era literary prodigy’s life, a System chose him, and he was transported to another time and place in a daze.

Kindhearted Mr. Qi’s first mission sends him into a cursed body.

Having inherited the original owner’s memories, Qi Huaiyuan has a huge question mark hanging over his head.

He is a down-and-out prince whose official social status is listed as dead, with a cursed beast’s body. He’s not only a wicked criminal who abducts men, but is also currently wanted by the authorities.

The System has issued its mission: Find true love within three months.

Looking at his ugly reflection in the mirror, Qi Huaiyuan grits his back teeth and decides to treat it as a challenge. So...

Every night, he writes in his diary:

Qi Boshan, oh, Qi Boshan, you’re still cleaning up messes today!

(Four romances, choose one.)

Blurb for After Reading His Mind, I Have to Become Empress?

Dai Yao is the only son of a military family, with exquisite features and a lazy, delicate constitution. Thanks to his widowed father’s doting affection, he lands an easy government post in the capital and plans to lie flat, living out his life as a carefree rich idler.

But then the new emperor ascends the throne, changing the mood at court overnight. The ministers are forced to compete with each other, and the young lady of the Cui family, Cui Yue, is exceptionally permitted to participate in state affairs.

Rumor has it that Cui Yue had a strange encounter and can see other people’s private secrets and scandals. What’s more, everyone can hear her inner thoughts.

At first, Dai Yao thinks it’s a ridiculous joke. The next day, however, he has a wonderful time listening to gossip.

[Wow, General Li’s youngest son brought a pregnant mistress back from the frontier. When the daughter of the Meng family, who was engaged to him, found out, she started a hunger strike and insisted on marrying General Li himself, saying she’d make that faithless man call her “Mother”!]

Dai Yao, shocked and excited: Heh, this is juicy.

[And Minister Li is a lecher, with a courtyard full of beautiful concubines. Little does he know that his wife and his lovely concubines are all lovers, secretly carrying on behind his back every night.]

Dai Yao, moving to the front row to listen to the gossip: Splendid, simply splendid.

The officials at court all look proper on the surface, but secretly they’re straining to listen, until Cui Yue reveals an explosive secret about the person at the very top.

It turns out the imperial harem has been empty because the emperor has had a white moonlight since his youth, but his years of unrequited love have never borne fruit.

As Cui Yue lists the white moonlight’s traits, Dai Yao realizes that everything matches him except the gender. He’s not smiling anymore.

Recently, Dai Yao has shed his lazy ways, bought a whole roomful of books, and shut himself in his study every day after work to read intently.

Lord Dai is pleased. He secretly has the servants bring out a few books, planning to improve himself alongside his son.

Instead, the books’ colorful illustrations and eye-watering titles nearly make his eyes roll back.

Your Majesty, Your White Moonlight Has Run Away Again

The Tyrant’s Beloved

Dai Yao, passing by at just the right moment: “...Father, if I said I was possessed, would you believe me?”

Lord Dai pretends to believe him, then burns the books and the room together that night.

That evening, Dai Yao clutches the only surviving book, Thirty-Six Ways to Make His Majesty Fall in Love with You, and ponders it seriously.

If I do the opposite of what this book says, maybe the emperor won’t fall for me.

Later, with the bedding in disarray and his clothes askew, Dai Yao crawls out from beneath the golden silk quilts on the imperial bed, crying, “I was wrong, I was wrong! This isn’t how it went in the book.”

The satisfied new emperor wraps an arm around his waist and pulls him back again. His long, narrow phoenix eyes burn with greed and passion as he coaxes Dai Yao in a cloyingly sweet voice. “Minister Dai, what kind of story do you want? I’ll have Cui Yue write it for you tomorrow.”
