I Drew from the Wrong Banner, So I Rewound Time

Planner gong (Yu) × player shou (Xian), blurb told from the victim's perspective first.

Code: God is a wide-open-world gacha game with mixed reviews. Players draw gods from the gacha pool and can raise the gods they obtain.

The game offers all kinds of activities. Players can pursue the gods and fall in love with them, explore the open world and fight monsters, or battle alongside the gods.

But because it has no save function, the stats inflate quickly, and the odds of getting the wrong character are high, players complain about it constantly.

One thing players do every day is curse the game planner and drag him through the mud.

Yu Xizhou, one of the chief planners who frequently gets dragged through the mud, finally gets his comeuppance. He transmigrates into Code: God, becomes the new character featured in the current rate-up banner, and is forced to bind himself to an old player and follow him around.

Yu Xizhou stares unhappily at the old player who drew him. The old player looks just as resentful. They're a pair of bitter lovers through and through.

With nothing better to do, the old player takes Yu Xizhou for a stroll around the main city, where they run into an enemy.

The enemy's eyes turn bloodshot as he shouts at the old player to go outside the city and fight him.

The next second, Yu Xizhou and the old player appear fifty meters away from their enemy.

Then Yu Xizhou watches as the enemy walks over and repeats the exact same challenge, word for word.

Yu Xizhou: ?

How bizarre. He remembers that their game doesn't even have a rollback mode!?

*

After teaming up to kill a map boss, the old player opens the loot chest and gets a useless piece of junk equipment.

Yu Xizhou is chewing on a bitter healing potion, ready to mock him, when the next second the opened chest is restored to pristine condition.

His health bar, which had just been refilled, drops back to a sliver.

Yu Xizhou, forced to take another potion: What the hell! He's cheating!

*

While exploring the map, Yu Xizhou goes to great lengths to beat a huge monster to within an inch of its life. One last hit will earn him a ton of experience.

The next second, the monster stands before him, completely unharmed.

Yu Xizhou finally realizes there's something wrong with the old player: I'm getting a whole busload of Bread Men to kill this cheater!

*

At last, Yu Xizhou gets out of the game. Unable to bear it any longer, he uses all his connections to dig up the old player's real-life information.

He hops on his electric scooter and rushes straight from the office to the old player's home. He kicks open the bedroom door and yells, "So you're the one cheating in the game!"

The next second, he's back outside the office, facing the biting cold wind and staring at his newly started electric scooter.

Yu Xizhou is despairing: How can someone cheat in real life too?!

Xian Chengyue is an overworked wage slave and a veteran player of Code: God. He's also a rare power-gamer in a romance game.

At the time, Code: God has two new gods on rate-up, one male and one female.

The goddess is witty and radiant, a top-tier unit with overwhelming combat power.

The male god is gentle and mild-mannered, with bottom-tier combat power. He's got good looks, and if you ask about his combat ability, well, he's got good looks.

Power-gamer Xian Chengyue: What are we waiting for? Wifey, here I come!!

In a moment of reckless enthusiasm, Xian Chengyue spends 648 yuan to pull for the powerful goddess he wants. But he makes a careless mistake and pulls on the neighboring banner instead.

One ten-pull, a flash of gold, and the gorgeous portrait of a handsome, elegant man appears before him.

Xian Chengyue watches his "wife" turn into a "husband" and his 648 yuan go down the drain: "...Is there any regret medicine in this world?"

Just as he's about to chop off his own hand, a glowing screen appears before him: [Congratulations, you are now bound to the Infinite Rollback System.]

This story is also known as The Planner and the Player Are Definitely True Love and The Planner and the Player Are Such a Pair of Star-Crossed Lovers.

Coming soon: The Delusional Fan Favorite

Wen Jihe is a born-and-raised interstellar native and the most good-for-nothing beta in a bottom-tier family. For no apparent reason, he transmigrates into a cultivation world and has to fight with everything he has just to survive.

After a thousand years of arduous cultivation, just as he is about to attain the Dao, he transmigrates back.

Wen Jihe, once a big shot in the cultivation world and now forced to start over: Thanks for asking. My anger is off the charts. I want to punch the universe apart.

After his vicious stepmother frames him and gets him expelled, his white-lotus younger brother shoves an admission letter in his face and gloats, "Big Brother, I got into the best school!"

Wen Jihe snatches the admission letter and tears it to pieces.

He smiles faintly: Now that's fair. Neither of us gets to go to school.

His white-lotus younger brother: What the hell is wrong with you?!

During a mental-strength test at his new school, Wen Jihe is framed for cheating. He becomes the target of everyone's scorn, and the whole room jeers at him.

Wen Jihe smiles faintly and punches the exam's grade recorder to pieces, erasing every candidate's test results.

Wen Jihe: I cheated, you say? Then we can all take the test again!

The candidates: Are you crazy?!

To reclaim that supreme position, Wen Jihe cuts off his family ties, extinguishes his desires, and uses everyone around him he can take advantage of, even if they are friends, teachers, or family.

He moves among various factions, smooth and charming, all false sincerity:

He toys with his cold, inflexible fiance.

He teases his sweet and obedient junior.

He deceives a calculating person in power, lures him into a trap, then betrays him without mercy.

Once he achieves his goal, he casts them all aside without a second thought.

But he never expected the bonds he cut and the love he extinguished to come knocking at his door.

His younger brother, whom he'd treated like garbage, comes looking for him and complains through his tears: Brother, do you really not want me anymore?

His fiance, whom he marked and then neglected, is restrained and patient: Give me a chance to take responsibility, and please let me take responsibility for you too.

The sunny puppy he abandoned sits in a corner growing mushrooms: Let me stay by your side!

The elegant autocrat who stands at the very top: Possess me, or kill me.

Wen Jihe smiles: I suggest you all go die.

The ultimate nuclear bomb, said to be capable of destroying a planet, accidentally falls into Wen Jihe's hands.

Several factions join forces to hunt him down and force him to hand over the weapon.

Looking at the men chasing after him, Wen Jihe rests his finger on the activation button and smiles faintly. "Everyone, want to watch the fireworks together?"

In an instant, a planet glows a brilliant red.

"My name is Wen Jihe, and my wish is for the world to be nuked into peace."

Theme: Life is beautiful.
