Song Xiuji, a renowned incense master from Huaguo, transmigrates into a book, becoming a vicious cannon-fodder male insect with the same name in a melodramatic novel.
The original is weak and useless, and only dares to vent his violent temper on his female consort. Once the consort turns evil, the original is brutally killed without the slightest ability to fight back.
Song Xiuji: "...!!!"
System: "I am a Praise System. I came into being to change the extreme evaluations of the characters in this book."
"Your task, Host, is to earn the highest possible praise score and change the character's ending."
On the first day of the mission, Song Xiuji becomes the most hated insect around. His praise score plunges to negative one million. He sighs, already saddled with a huge debt before he has even started working, until he begins livestreaming. Among the dense stream of insults in a livestream watched by hundreds of insects, one comment says he looks good.
The next second, he hears an announcement: "One point of praise has been credited to your account. Please check your balance."
Song Xiuji: "Just as I thought. No matter what world you're in, the sound of money is the sweetest."
Murray hates male insects with a passion, but he seems to have met a very unusual one.
That male insect saved him and gave him very expensive medicine. When Murray mistook him for trying to hurt him, he didn't get angry. He cooked for him, and when Murray thought he'd poisoned the food, he didn't get angry about that either. He even searched all over for the torture devices the male insect supposedly kept hidden at home. The male insect still didn't get angry, even when Murray turned his room upside down.
This male insect seems like he never loses his temper.
Murray thinks the male insect must have fallen for him a long time ago. Since he likes him so much, Murray supposes he can like him a tiny bit in return.
Murray: "Let's get married."
Song Xiuji: "Huh?"
Help: I tried too hard to placate the insect who wants to kill me, and now he wants to marry me. What do I do? Urgent! Urgent! Urgent!
The female insect's face was expressionless. His tone held three parts disdain and seven parts condescension as he said coldly, "I don't know how to like another insect, but starting today, I can reluctantly like you a little bit."
Song Xiuji chuckled as he looked at the praise score on the System screen, which had just doubled. He thought to himself: I almost believed you.
