I Became the Card-Drawing System for the Dragon-Acclaimed Protagonist

"Coming soon in the author's column: I Became the Heartthrob's Beloved and Marrying Someone Else"

[Important] This story has a happy ending!! A very happy ending!!!

Jiang Zhao, code name 29999, accidentally became the gacha System for the male lead, an overpowered hero in an old-fashioned xianxia novel.

It's reasonable for the hero to have a System, but what can a lousy gacha System like him even do?

Main System: Dear new employee, if you don't meet your targets and help the player reach the peak of the game, you'll be sent back to the factory and scrapped!

Jiang Zhao: "..."

Fine, who says life isn't a game, and the overpowered hero isn't a player? :)

He checked the player's profile. Yikes, protagonist Ying Zhang's clan had been wiped out from the start, and he was stranded in the wilderness with pursuers on his heels, living a miserable life.

Luckily, Jiang Zhao could provide the protagonist with all sorts of cards. As long as he drew a character card, the protagonist could summon them, and they'd transform into worldly masters to fight by his side!

The only catch was that, due to the lack of staff, Jiang Zhao had to personally play every character on the cards.

Unfortunately, ideals are lofty while reality is harsh.

Jiang Zhao had barely started the job when the protagonist tried to kill him, then suspected him again and again.

Fortunately, Jiang Zhao was dedicated to his work. He helped the protagonist through a rough patch and finally earned Ying Zhang's trust.

Oh, it was quite easy. He just had to take a sword for him.

The price was a little steep: Jiang Zhao nearly died.

Still, Ying Zhang finally believed him because of it.

He even started behaving completely out of character, acting strangely.

His own Host's gaze grew more and more suspicious. All it took was Jiang Zhao to turn a cold, hard-hearted man who kept everyone at arm's length into a hypocritical, jealous, fatherly wolfdog.

But Jiang Zhao thought all he had done was change the protagonist for the better.

It wasn't until his Host bit his lip and told him this was called kissing, something only Dao companions did, that he finally realized things were going in a strange direction.

And he didn't even have a program for "love," so he was destined to be unable to return his Host's feelings.

One day, Ying Zhang could take it no longer and said urgently, "The seventh day of next month is an auspicious day. Let's become Dao companions, okay?"

Jiang Zhao's heart softened, and he said yes.

But in the end, they didn't live to see the seventh day of the following month.

Jiang Zhao was left behind forever in a world of falling snow.

[Visit the author's column for a delicious bowl of sweet soup:

One bowl contains a mix of "xianxia," "ABO," and "silly beauty," with the label I Became the Heartthrob's Beloved written on the rim.

The other bowl is mixed with "transmigrate into a book," "mpreg," "forced love," and "marriage substitution". Don't read the wrong label: it's called Marrying Someone Else!]
