I am System No. 528, now known as Yong Neiliu. To complete my mission of collecting energy, I will stop at nothing.
First, establish a character who is extreme and stubborn, but easy to redeem. Next, come up with a suitable reason for his turn to darkness (?) to win everyone's sympathy. Then, give him a pretty face to pave the way to completing the mission. Finally, find a scatterbrained partner so everyone can see that I still have a kind heart.
And just like that, a fresh script is ready:
Yong Neiliu comes from a prestigious noble family, and his upbringing is strict. The seed of putting victory above all else is planted deep in his heart as a boy. Gloom shadows his beautiful face. He finds no joy in playing volleyball, and only wears a haughty smile when his team wins. Beneath his fierce and nasty exterior lies a melancholy, tolerant heart. He indulges his teammates unconditionally in everything they do, and it's especially adorable when he cries in disbelief, looking utterly lost and helpless after a defeat.
The setup is complete. Time to win them over.
# The male lead really is a System. He's acting the whole time, from beginning to end.
# Villain type: a gloomy, short-tempered beauty who is ruthless to himself and even harsher on his teammates to win.
# A Gary Stu, universally adored. Volleyball is so intense, so here's something dark.
Theme: Love is the best reward.
