You Became a Philanthropist, but Your True Identity Is...

You died, activated a system, and then transmigrated into a book.

But you don’t know which character in the book you’ve become. All you know is that your character profile is as follows:

1: You’re a big shot.

2: You’re rich.

3: Your public image is that of a philanthropist.

To play the role of a philanthropist well, every so often you have to donate money and supplies to disaster areas and impoverished mountain villages. Sometimes you even have to go there yourself to help the victims.

In the impoverished mountain villages, you donate food and blankets, live simply, and risk your life to save the village chief’s mute nephew when a mudslide strikes.

In the disaster areas, you donate medical supplies and personally search for missing victims. Afterwards, you adopt a child who has lost both parents.

Over the years, you do more and more good deeds. Everyone in the world thinks you’re a great philanthropist.

But did you think that was the end of it?

No. Later, when you find out that the character you’re playing is a villain, what you have to do next is destroy the philanthropist’s good name.

The plan is as follows:

Step one: You deceive the village chief’s nephew and use the promise of curing his muteness as an excuse to imprison him by your side. In reality, you never intended to treat him.

Step two: You use your power to force the child you saved to give up studying abroad, turning him into your personal butler, who has to spend every day dealing with your messes.

Step three: You use your past kindness as leverage, threatening to blacklist a famous star unless he becomes your lover. You enjoy watching him fall from his former glory into the dust.

Final step: Your reputation is ruined, and you jump into the sea to kill yourself.

That’s what you plan to do, but that’s not what actually happens.

When you deceive the mute boy, he thanks you for all the work you’ve done for the village over the years.

When you pressure the orphan, he goes through the donations and support you’ve given to the orphanage over the years.

When you threaten the famous star, he lists all the drinking parties you’ve helped him avoid over the years.

Without even realizing it, you’ve done too many good deeds.

In fact, they don’t hate you at all. They won’t refuse anything you ask of them.

The System is furious: “Just look at what you’ve done all these years! The world’s goodwill is off the charts because of you! I told you to play a philanthropist, not to actually become one!”

You’re helpless.

You can’t help it, really. Your true identity is a bodhisattva, after all.

Bodhisattvas like doing good deeds. It’s not something they can control.

“Transmigrate into a book as a philanthropist, only to discover your true identity is a bodhisattva.”

A perfect fit for the role. I just couldn’t help myself.

Reading notes

1. A bodhisattva heroine who saves all living beings x her several useless men (the male lead hasn’t been decided yet).

2. An unconventional bodhisattva heroine. The male lead is most likely a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

3. A lighthearted story from start to finish, with no angst.
