After the video game addict Bai Miao's novel flopped, he was flagged by the Boundary Management Bureau.
In his next life, he would enter a badly written xianxia romance drama and save its broken little world.
As a reward, Bai Miao would also be reborn in another world. While waiting for the System to recruit him for a job, Bai Miao was busy preparing to open a game studio, having the time of his life.
A game studio needed startup capital, and the System promised that if Bai Miao cooperated with the Bureau's missions, it would pay him a bonus from beyond the dimensional plane.
So Bai Miao gladly began traveling between modern society and the xianxia world with the System.

As for the xianxia world, its plot revolved mainly around a pair consisting of a demon realm war god and a prince of the Phoenix Clan.
They were supposed to chase each other and wreak havoc on the common people for three lifetimes, taking turns tormenting one another and leaving nothing alive wherever they went, until their love story had the people weeping and praying to heaven and earth: "Please, just leave this awful couple alone!"
Only then would they call it quits!
Fortunately, Bai Miao transmigrated as a cannon-fodder character whom the scum top married in his first life to make his little black-flower wife jealous.
His entire part in the novel added up to no more than 1,000 words: 200 words to describe his peerless beauty, 200 to describe his diligent, everyday life in the inner-courtyard power struggle, and the remaining 600 to describe how his plan failed, after which he was gone.
However, the System helping Bai Miao travel between worlds suddenly lit a cigarette.
The System said with weary resignation that it had changed careers from [Managing Inflation]. Forget about the plot. The Host just had to complete the System's basic objectives to receive the bonus...
Bai Miao, suddenly alert: "Wait, you're the Managing Inflation System, so where is the inflation?"
He couldn't figure out how a mere xianxia romance drama could have an inflation rate!
The System was desperate. Trembling, it pointed at the many great gods in the Heavenly Realm. "Look, isn't that it..."
Bai Miao: "Inflated? Who's inflated?!"
System: "Aaaaaah! The lifespans of the gods who don't do their jobs have inflated!"
And so, although Bai Miao was still an ordinary mortal, he was forced to defeat a whole crowd of ancient immortals and demons, each tens of thousands of years old, in order to eliminate the inflation rate.
Bai Miao: "Damn it!"
The System explained that the Bureau's golden finger had been credited to him. The games released by the Host's studio would become real in the xianxia romance world. In other words, the more games the Host released, the stronger he would become.
Bai Miao: "Okay..."
Then, for the sake of the battered human world and his bonus, Bai Miao threw himself into his work.
He opened the game-making tool provided by the Boundary Management Bureau and started building a Fourth Calamity faction for himself, determined to fight his way into the God Realm as soon as possible.
A Paradox strategy-game war criminal? He'd be one!
A train speeding through the stars arrives? He'd make a secret identity!
Angry Birds? He'd hurl them!
