[Quick Transmigration] The Strict One's Love

Tough love means love from a strict person. The phrase comes from the stepmother tea party, where elegant stepmothers use it to explain their behavior.

.

As the villainous elder of the protagonist-bottom, and the source of his miserable childhood, Chu Tingyun's only job is to be the biggest stepping stone to the protagonists' happy ending, making the protagonist-tops feel sorry for the protagonist-bottom.

Chu Tingyun: Um, okay. I'll do my best.

The System made a point of saying that the universally adored protagonist-bottom had a kind of magical charm. As the story's villain and driving force of the plot, Chu Tingyun absolutely must not fall for him. This was important!

"Don't let your hostility toward the protagonist-bottom change into anything else! Or you're done for!"

The System repeatedly warned him. Chu Tingyun nodded like a bobblehead and treated the protagonist-bottom with heartless cruelty, making full use of his skills as a villain who goes looking for trouble. He gave it his all in showing him the strict love of an elder.

I'm doing a good enough job as a villain, right? Chu Tingyun thought optimistically.

.

[He has never once praised me.]

[He ignores my efforts and looks down on my admiration. Even my stupid, dog-brained cousin from a branch family can earn a word of praise from him, while all my painstaking efforts earn not the slightest bit of sympathy.]

[The people I don't care about praise and love me, while the person I love is cold toward me. God, how laughable and tragic!]

.

The System took every precaution, afraid its mission-taker would develop feelings for the protagonist, go easy on him, and cause a disaster. Later, it realized something was wrong.

It seemed that the universally adored, pitiful protagonist-bottom had changed, and the other characters had started acting strangely too.

"Waaah, you guys are all into McDonald's or something? How can you develop feelings for the villain..."

The System complained through its tears.

.

A universally adored, gentle top-focused story, with lots of one-sided crushes.

Theme: If silence is no longer allowed, then failing to praise enthusiastically enough becomes a crime.
