After natural disasters swept through the world, the cultivation realm turned into a realm of slaughter. The great sects fell one after another, and most cultivation techniques were lost.
Zhang Yuanhui was the last sword cultivator in the realm of slaughter. He cut down every obstacle in his path with his sword, never expecting to be kidnapped by an entity calling itself the Loser Top Recovery System.
Zhang Yuanhui looked from the glowing orb to himself. "A loser?"
System: That's right. Among the three thousand minor worlds, there are people who give everything for the universally adored protagonist bottom, only to end up with nothing and become kicked dogs. These people are loser cannon-fodder tops. Your mission is to do the laundry and cook for your targets, show them love and warmth, care for them and protect them in every way, and keep them from going down the same path of being easily won over by the universally adored protagonist, Host.
Clearly, he could do none of that.
The System flew into a rage. "You can't do laundry or cook, and you're not the least bit thoughtful or caring. What can you do?"
Zhang Yuanhui drew his sword. "Kill people. :)"
With a sword pointed at it, the System said, "Host, spare your System!"
[System Notice]: Your ordered manuals, The Sword Cultivator's Self-Cultivation, The Way of the Sword, Spring Breeze and Autumn Rain Swordsmanship, and more have arrived.
Only then did Zhang Yuanhui lower his sword, satisfied.
Since this was all for the sake of those lost techniques, he would do a good job completing the mission. But how was he supposed to do laundry, cook, and be caring?

The System watched Zhang Yuanhui blow up the kitchen. Then it watched him blow up the kitchen again, and watched him earn the title of System Kitchen Menace. Finally, it watched the universally adored protagonist tenderly bring the target some homemade cookies.
They had no chance.
The System couldn't help but sigh mournfully. Its life as a System had no future. It might as well change careers.
But before it got a recall notice from the Main System for reprogramming, it received the notification that Zhang Yuanhui had completed his mission.
System (staring blankly as it takes off its sunglasses.jpg): How did you do it?
Zhang Yuanhui shrugged. "The target said he liked me, then kissed me."
The System opened its status screen, closed it, then opened it again. Could it actually be a romance System?
Tentative World List:
● There's a Poor Ghost in the Next Room
The target became an evil spirit because of the universally adored protagonist. Looking at the poor ghost who cried every night in the next room, Zhang Yuanhui turned to the System and asked, "Is this really the future Ghost King?"
After the System confirmed it, Zhang Yuanhui spent the whole night thinking. The next day, he tied up the target, whose crying next door kept him awake every night, and brought him home. The System opened Zhang Yuanhui's search history and fell into deep thought.
"How to raise an evil spirit?"
"Do ghosts eat the same food as people?"
"Will a ghost die from eating human food?"
Oh no, the target is in danger!
● Found a Puppy on the Night of the Full Moon
Zhang Yuanhui went out on the night of the full moon, and a little puppy grabbed onto his foot.
The System said cautiously, "That's the target."
Zhang Yuanhui scratched the puppy under the chin. "A werewolf? Isn't that just a dog?"
But the System insisted, "He was badly injured because of the universally adored protagonist bottom, so he can only maintain the form of a puppy."
Zhang Yuanhui fell into thought. Could a dog, no, a werewolf, eat human food?
After eating what was supposedly human food, the target said: He could eat it, but only a little. If he ate any more, he'd drop dead.
Zhang Yuanhui, once again worried that his beloved was a picky eater: ...
● My Roommate Is a Disheartened Esports Prodigy
Zhang Yuanhui's new roommate was an esports player who had been kicked out of his team because of the universally adored protagonist.
After teaming up with the target and winning the championship, the target apologized to him. "First, I actually don't like him. Second, I sincerely apologize for saying your gameplay was a feeding frenzy. Also, I didn't kiss you while drunk on purpose. Finally, do we really have to eat this celebratory meal?"
Zhang Yuanhui, who only wanted to show off his cooking: ...Can't people eat human food either?
● Becoming the Marriage Partner of a Bankrupt Tycoon
This time, Zhang Yuanhui arrived too late. He had only managed to show off his cooking a few times before the target appeared in a sharp suit, smiling as he delivered the bad news. "I'm bankrupt. I don't have the money to pursue him anymore. And now I can't even afford to renovate the kitchen at home."
Zhang Yuanhui leaned against the wall, trying to figure out how to get the target back to the peak of his wealth. After all, the target's fortunes had been getting worse and worse, and now he couldn't even provide a decent kitchen.
System: ...Is it possible that the target is actually trying to avoid your cooking?
● Picked Up an Abandoned Little Zombie by the Roadside
The apocalypse arrived, and Zhang Yuanhui felt right at home. But the target was surrounded by a horde of zombies while protecting someone, and turned into...a cute little zombie.
The little zombie had lost his mind, but he didn't hurt anyone and would eat anything.
Zhang Yuanhui: This one's easy to feed. Nice.
Who knew that when the little zombie regained a bit of his mind, the first thing he said would be, "I only eat crystal cores, not food."
Zhang Yuanhui, worried today too that his beloved was a picky eater: ...
#What to do when the target becomes a loser again
#What to do when the target is a picky eater again
#What to do when another player tries to win over the target
#Forget it, I'll take them down with my sword
One-on-one. The target in every world is the same person, the bottom. They're a fixed pair.
Laundry and cooking are work. Carrying a sword and killing people is life.
The System is a tool System whose only line is "Dog food tastes so good!"
CP dynamic: A naturally sinister top who's cruel and ruthless but has a pure, innocent face x a scheming, black-hearted bottom who plays the pig to eat the tiger
Theme: Only sincerity can win sincerity.
