Will Drawing a Wife Card Make Me Everyone’s Favorite?

[Coming soon: Don't Give That Top-Tier Beauty to the Male Leads and Supporting Men. Please add it to your favorites!]

Over the course of his long career as a task-bound tool character, Tang Yuan'an has drawn Support Card, Villain Card, and Cannon Fodder Card. Nothing has ever stumped him.

But this time, he stares at the three golden words, "Wife Card," and summons the System.

Care to explain?

System: It's simple. The Host needs to look after the main cast's physical and mental well-being in every way, serve as the glue that holds the team together, and help them defeat the villain as a united front!

Tang Yuan'an gets it. It's just taking care of people. He can handle that with his eyes closed.

Other than the occasional weird skill he's granted, like "So Pitiful It's Heartbreaking," "Delicate as a Petal," and "Holy Light Shining on All," things go smoothly overall.

But after a while, he realizes the main cast's personalities have changed. They treat him like a glass bead, won't let him do anything, and even want to put him on a pedestal like an idol.

The assassin who has killed countless people takes his hand and tells him to rest. The playboy who used to indulge in romance washes his hands and cooks for him. The utterly rational team captain kneels beside him, tears in his eyes. "Why can't you think about yourself just once?"

He doesn't understand what they mean. He's a tool character. This is his duty.

So he smiles and straightens the captain's collar. "I'm fine. As long as everyone is doing well, I can relax."

"Every one of you is equally important to me."

They're all protagonists. He can't lose a single one of them.

But after he dies at the villain's hands, just as the plot demands, the System doesn't send him to the next world. Instead, it takes him three years into the future.

The protagonists seem to have gone mad. Their former warmth and kindness are gone. Some have slaughtered the organization that hurt him. Others are convinced he isn't dead and have scoured every corner of the world for him.

He takes out the "Wife Card" and sees that a line of tiny text has appeared at the bottom, though he doesn't know when.

They all want you for themselves.

A few things to know:

1. A competitive romance battlefield, with plenty of petty squabbles.

2. The bottom has sunny-type depression. He likes putting himself down, even though the whole world revolves around him.

3. The top is Wei Langxing. There are many original settings in this interstellar world. One-on-one happy ending.

Mei Xueyuan is the only bionic person to graduate from the male-oriented protagonist program. At last, he's passed the test and can begin his great protagonist journey.

System: Baby, did you go to the wrong department? You should be next door, in the everyone-loves-you storyline.

Mei Xueyuan's System shows no errors, so he refuses to switch.

But the plot requires him to hurt humans, which violates his core principles. So he changes the stabbing into a slap that won't actually hurt anyone.

The plot limps along, but... why does this human smile instead of hitting back after being slapped?

System: Hah. Baby, I'm half afraid he'll lick your hand.

Mei Xueyuan can't understand why humans would have that sort of fetish.

He decides to ask the villain about it, but accidentally wanders into the basement of the villain's home. There are photos of him all over the walls, with his missing personal clothing neatly arranged beside them.

The villain steps out of the shadows behind him and says menacingly, "You dare come here alone. Are you that eager to die?"

Mei Xueyuan is confused. There's no point in this. He's not really human, and he's not alive.

The villain hates how coldly indifferent he is toward his own life. He pounces on him and bites his lips.

System check: No reason for this behavior.

After a long while, the villain lets go. Mei Xueyuan's face takes on an expression meant to imitate confusion. "Why did you do that? Were you trying to use the lip balm on my lips? As far as I know, you can easily afford to buy your own."

Villain: ???

System: ...

It can't resist checking Mei Xueyuan's graduation scores from the male-oriented protagonist program.

[Emotional intelligence assessment: 9.5]

That's not low...

[Beauty: 99.9]

System: Turns out it's a percentage score!
