Question: What's it like to learn at twenty that you've transmigrated into a book and have a System cheat?
Fu Shengning: Annoying. Really annoying.
Fu Shengning was born with a sword bone and devoted himself to the sword. He never expected a System to show up halfway through and insist on turning him into an all-round support talent, so he could assist the protagonist and change the story's terrible ending, where the villain and protagonist destroy each other.
Fu Shengning: Get lost!
The System cried, threw tantrums, and went berserk every day, but Fu Shengning wouldn't budge.
System: Outsource the missions. You can keep the rewards. I've already chosen someone. You just need to get him to complete them.
So Fu Shengning picked up the young villain, Lin Wu'an, who was scavenging through trash, and dumped all the System's lessons, resources, and materials on him.
Fu Shengning: Study! Alchemy!
Lin Wu'an: Hehe, he's so good to me. He gives me food and a place to live, and all these resources. He must love me.
When Lin Wu'an was bullied and humiliated while refining pills, Fu Shengning cut down the offenders with a single strike of his sword.
Lin Wu'an: He protected me! He loves me so much.
On Lin Wu'an's birthday, Fu Shengning happened to be cleaning out his storage ring and casually tossed him a System reward he had no use for.
Lin Wu'an: Ah, a carefully prepared birthday gift! How did he know my birthday and what I like? He must love me so much!
Lin Wu'an was born under a curse that supposedly brought death to both his parents, and everyone believed he was doomed to bring misfortune. The world bullied and humiliated him, so he repaid it by destroying the world.
In his second life, Lin Wu'an was picked up by Fu Shengning. He thought Fu Shengning would be just like the other scumbags, wanting to use and humiliate him.
But Fu Shengning gave him a home, cared for him, and cherished him.
He was like the warm sun in winter, but Lin Wu'an was despicable enough to want that sunshine to fall only on him.
Years later, Lin Wu'an said to Fu Shengning, "I know you love me so much. Let's form a bond!"
Fu Shengning refused three times in a row: "No. I don't. Impossible!"
Lin Wu'an: "I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen. You love me!"
Then he stormed off in a huff.
Several days later,
Servant: Head of the family, ever since you stopped Young Master Lin's daily activities, he hasn't refined pills, forged artifacts, or drawn talismans in seven days.
Fu Shengning: Where is Lin Wu'an? Has he admitted he was wrong?
Servant: Head of the family, Young Master Lin has gone to challenge the major sects. Every time he wins, he tells them you love him.
Now the entire cultivation world knows you love Young Master Lin to an utterly helpless, incurable degree.
Fu Shengning: ???
