The Dragon-Pride Hero Works Himself to the Bone

Zhan Xing, the number-one Dragon-Proud Heaven under the cosmos, offends the Heavenly Dao and transmigrates into the body of a disposable young master in the entertainment industry.

System: [Your script: Be swindled out of your inheritance, lose both your money and your reputation, and die in a car accident.]

Zhan Xing: Oh.

Then he pins the so-called "villainous older brother," who is supposedly going to torture him to death, against the floor-to-ceiling window.

System: [Warning! You have deviated severely from the plot!]

Zhan Xing: He's looking at me. His gaze is strange.

System: [That's disgust.]

Zhan Xing: No, he wants to take me apart and devour me.

Later, an extra claiming to be the "Overgod" comes looking for him, saying they need to talk about the system.

Zhan Xing drags him into a room, and they talk for two days and two nights.

System: [Host, you're trying to turn a high-ranking enemy official!]

Zhan Xing: Yeah, I turned him pretty deeply.

★ 1v1, SC

★ The System is the most clearheaded character in the whole book, and also the most pitiful.

★ Lots of steamy scenes, with tactics. You know what I mean.
