After dying, sword cultivator Lin Xinghe binds to a System and discovers that he is merely a nameless, disposable character in a xianxia novel whose entire sect was wiped out.
If all his grueling training and endless cultivation can't overcome the ending already written into the plot, he might as well give up.
The Disposable Character Comeback System: "Host, I believe you're not just a pretty face."
Lin Xinghe: "No, I am."
Hah. I used to want to rely on my strength, but you wouldn't let me. Now I only want to rely on my looks, and you won't let me do that either. Why not?
This is the story of a lazy, unmotivated disposable-character Host who makes a comeback by giving up!
Beloved beauty on the receiving end VS crazy, obsessive pursuer
#Short Skits#
◆[A disposable celebrity who is the protagonist's anti-fan in an entertainment-industry novel]
System: When the protagonist is beset by scandals, speak up in his defense and support him. That's the first step to making a comeback.
Lin Xinghe: Heh, you're right.
Then he turns around and posts a veiled jab at the protagonist, accusing him of using a publicity stunt, making absolutely sure not to do anything that might earn him the protagonist's favor. Instead, he exploits the protagonist to his heart's content:
"I twisted my ankle. Come carry me."
The System is stunned, waiting for Lin Xinghe to be exposed by the protagonist's fans as the plot dictates. But it waits and waits, only to see the protagonist pull him into his arms with obsessive fervor, pin down his hands, and demand that they follow each other on Weibo.
"Dreams of a bed full of stars, my Xinghe. Be good and call me hubby."
(Lin Xinghe: Damn it, now I have another scandal about the Movie Emperor being illiterate.)
◆[A greedy disposable fiancée who despises the protagonist in a space-opera novel]
System: When the protagonist is seriously injured, give him money, help him, stay by his side and care for him. That's the first step to making a comeback.
Lin Xinghe: Mm-hmm, that's very well said.
Then he immediately summons his servants to dump the gravely injured protagonist outside his manor and contacts the Imperial Laboratory to come collect the body.
"Even if you die, don't die in front of me."
The System is exhausted, waiting for the protagonist to return at the peak of his power and take revenge on Lin Xinghe. But it waits and waits, until the protagonist caters to Lin Xinghe's tastes, offers him a planet as a betrothal gift, kneels at his door, and asks for his hand:
"All I ever think of is Xinghe, but Xinghe is still not as dear as you."
◆[A vicious disposable prince who bullies the protagonist in a historical novel]
System: When the protagonist is at his most helpless, care for him, help him, and offer him warmth. That's the first step to making a comeback.
Lin Xinghe: Mm-hmm, you're right about everything.
Then he turns around and kicks the protagonist, who has been sent to the palace as a hostage, to the ground. Barefoot, he stomps hard on the protagonist's hand. His pale, slender fingers lift the protagonist's chin as he roughly wipes the tears from his face. His glistening eyes are full of disgust as he humiliates him:
"What a coward. All you can do is cry."
The System gives up hope and waits for Lin Xinghe to become a disposable character. But it waits and waits, only to see the protagonist treasure him above all else, make him cry as he overwhelms him with affection, and whisper loving words into his ear:
"I offer myself as your servant and give you my kingdom."

◆[A fake young master who bullies the protagonist in a wealthy-family novel] True young master seme VS fake young master uke
After seeing Lin Xinghe use his pretty face and unwitting flirtation, along with his slack-off attitude, to drive the world's protagonists into a frenzy, crawling at his feet and willingly offering him everything, the System finally shuts its mouth.
Lin Xinghe: Good. The world's finally quiet. Let me lie down a little longer.
The protagonist presses close: As you wish...
