[Exclusive to Jinjiang Literature City]
Twenty years ago, an accident caused Systems to begin spreading throughout the world. People became hopelessly absorbed in the blueprints created by Systems, ultimately throwing their lives away. A special profession arose in response: System Hunters.
Jiang Ye was one of the top System Hunters. He had hunted countless Systems, but on his way home, he was ambushed by a mere novel System.
After falling into a novel’s world, Jiang Ye sneered. “Ha! You think I can’t crush you in a heartbeat?”
The System said smugly, “What a shame. Your grandmother is already so old…”
Jiang Ye: “!!”
The System was a real piece of work, but its personality was exactly like that of the person Jiang Ye had a hopeless crush on.
It wasn’t until Jiang Ye had wrecked several novel worlds that he threatened the System with a photo of his crush: “Turn into his likeness! Or you can wait for this world to collapse!”
The System spat blood in fury. “Why the hell didn’t you say so earlier? You nearly worked me to death! ¥#%*&”
The System cursed and swore as it changed its appearance. Looking at Jiang Ye’s stunned expression, it tugged at its clothes and asked viciously, “There, happy now? If you’re going to inspect me, hurry up! What do you want to…”
Jiang Ye’s eyes widened in shock. “…”

From the shou’s perspective
Twenty years ago, during that same accident, Qi Jing became a System by a twist of fate.
Back when they were students, he successfully hid his identity under Jiang Ye’s protection. He thought Jiang Ye would always look out for him, but he never expected Jiang Ye to grow more and more distant, eventually treating him with complete indifference.
The System aura on him began slipping out of his control. To protect himself, he founded a Hunters’ Guild, but no matter how hard he tried, Jiang Ye still wouldn’t get close to him.
With no other options, he took a desperate gamble. For the first time, he used the System’s body to approach Jiang Ye, hoping to soak up some of Jiang Ye’s aura.
But Jiang Ye wouldn’t let him!

Qi Jing knew Jiang Ye hated him, but he never imagined Jiang Ye would want him dead, or force him to turn back into his true form just to torment him!
Then one night, someone pulled him into their arms, and he heard Jiang Ye murmur, “Qi Jing proposed to someone else, Bai Qiu. Then I’ll marry you too, okay?”
Qi Jing, who had gotten his fill of Jiang Ye’s aura and was preparing to make a getaway, froze. Once he understood, he said with great satisfaction, “Serves you right for staying single your whole life!”
Jiang Ye said darkly, “If you don’t want to die, shut up!”
Qi Jing: “…”
Note:
1. One-on-one romance, both leads are each other’s first. An alternate modern setting. The shou shares a body with other people, but the gong only loves the shou and only reacts to him!
2. Fast-paced, plot-driven story. I’m practicing my plotting, so the pace is fast enough to take off on the spot.
3. The setting was originally meant to be historical danmei, but since the leads travel between different worlds and there are Systems involved, it’s classified as fantasy danmei.
4. The entire world is one huge conspiracy. Everything seen and heard is an illusion.
5. Xiao Bai is not the shou. The shou’s identity is very unusual, and the gong and shou’s real circumstances are unusual too. The shou will have to work hard to regain control of his body. He’ll appear more often later on. That’s all I can reveal for now. Anything else would be a spoiler. /zips lips
6. If you’re looking for a purely sweet and satisfying story, please look elsewhere~
My new novel next door: There’s Always Some Fool Calling Me a Spirit Beast
Blurb:
Qi Bao spent his entire fortune on a spirit beast egg, only for a snake to hatch out of it. And an especially ugly one, at that.
Qi Bao burst into tears, but the snake cried even louder than he did.
Its whole body convulsed, writhing with sobs.
The snake cried itself unconscious.
The first thing the snake said when it woke was, in despair, “You’ve got a pot, right? Hurry up and stew me.”
Qi Bao asked, “If I stew you, can you turn into a spirit beast?”
“No. I want to be reincarnated.”
Qi Bao: “…”
*
Mo Xuan, a civil servant in the Underworld, was on vacation. But the moment he set foot in the human realm, he somehow had the worst luck imaginable and ended up inside an egg.
How could a mere eggshell possibly hold him…
The instant he hatched, Mo Xuan fell apart.
To make matters worse, there was a bold human beside him, patting his head. “Don’t cry, don’t cry. I don’t mind how you look.”
The human was so noisy, constantly bringing him all sorts of useless things. “Little Black, Little Black, if you eat spirit stones, can you turn into a spirit beast?”
“Little Black, if you drink spirit liquid, can you turn into a spirit beast?”
“Little Black, Little Black, here’s a spirit fruit…”
“This is a divine beast bone…”
*
One day, the human dragged his gravely injured body inside, crawling in on the verge of death. “Little Black… They said if they ate me… they’d become an immortal… I don’t want them to eat me… I’ll let you eat me instead.”
For the first time, Mo Xuan shielded the human beneath him, using the snake body he hated most to drive away the ill-intentioned humans.
Theme: Cherish the people you have while they’re still here
Congratulations on the completion, Sahua 💪💪💪💪

Jiang Ye is a coward and a scumbag. How can one person have these two attributes at the same time?
