Luo Zhou transmigrated into a book and became the cannon-fodder fiancee of the male lead. All he had to do was carry out a series of face-slapping and broken-engagement maneuvers, then bow out and focus on his career.
But when he saw that the male lead was still a toddler, Luo Zhou was dumbfounded. What was he supposed to do?
The System explained: The readers had voted to change the male lead's love interest. Instead, it would be the future biggest villain in the book, the toddler's young uncle.
His ultimate purpose here was to die alongside the villain.
Luo Zhou: Die together... Great. How much do the readers hate me to want that?
Fine, then. He'd live to a ripe old age with the villain, get along wonderfully with the little one, and spite the readers.
Once everything went according to Luo Zhou's plan, the villain became immersed in a life of comfort and the male lead wouldn't let go of him. Only then did the System cry as it told him that he'd transmigrated into the wrong book: a no-cp novel where the toddler and the male lead had the same name.
As the male lead of a no-cp novel, Pei Zonghuan now only knew how to fall in love, not build a career. The company's performance kept declining, and the readers were tearing their hair out over him. The System told Luo Zhou to hurry up and talk some sense into Pei Zonghuan.
Luo Zhou: Why would I do that? This is exactly what I want.
(Extra scene)
The little one looked up at Pei Zonghuan and asked quietly: Why does Auntie think our family is going to go bankrupt?
He already had enough allowance to buy an entire amusement park.
Pei Zonghuan put a finger to his lips, then went over to Luo Zhou. "Honey, money's a little tight lately. Can I have some?"
Luo Zhou smiled and took out a card. "Spend as much as you like."
The System: It was only doing this for everyone's sake. If Luo Zhou found out the readers were going crazy shipping them and got rebellious enough to ask for a divorce... the readers would probably vote to replace it, too.
