After dying from overwork at his 996 job, office drone Xiao Zhao was bound to a thing called the [Character-Editing System].
The System thumped its chest and declared, "My powers are unrivaled! I'm way better than those sign-in systems and spatial systems!"
System: "You can directly change one character in the original text!"
Xiao Zhao gave it some thought.
Fake and real young masters:
Xiao Zhao was the real young master who'd just been brought home. As soon as he walked in, he saw the fake young master, a little green tea, sobbing like a kitten as he tried to leave.
Their dear older brother glared at Xiao Zhao, then turned toward the fake young master and roared, "You're not the one who should leave!"
Xiao Zhao opened the editing page and changed the character for "leave" to "crawl" and "kitten" to "puppy."
The next second, to everyone's horrified stares, his dear older brother began crawling around on the floor in a frenzy. The fake young master was so frightened he lost all composure. "Woof, woof, woof!!"
Xiao Zhao looked at his parents, their faces livid. "Your family's got some pretty unusual hobbies."
System: Aaaaaah! What are you doing? What are you doing?!!
The runaway darling of the capital's princeling
Xiao Zhao was engaged to the princeling of the capital's elite circle.
It was his wedding day, and the princeling's lover came running up to him in tears, saying, "The one who isn't loved is the third wheel! I hope you'll give him back to me!"
At the wedding banquet, the princeling put an arm around his sweetheart protectively and glared furiously at Xiao Zhao.
Xiao Zhao silently opened the editing system and changed every instance of "princeling of the capital's elite circle" to "eunuch of the capital's elite circle"!
You dog of a man who can't keep it in your pants! I'm confiscating your tools of the trade!
System: ...That's not how you're supposed to use it!!!
The moonlight
Xiao Zhao had been dating the male lead for three years. Just as they were preparing to get married, the male lead's first love returned.
By then, Xiao Zhao was already an expert at using the System. Without a second thought, he changed every instance of "moonlight" in the text to "black moonlight."
The next day, the male lead went to the airport to pick up a... moonlight so dark it seemed to glow.

The body-double story
Xiao Zhao transmigrated into the role of the body double for the first love, who was about to return from abroad.
The domineering CEO across from him threw down a check for ten million yuan. "Cha Cha is coming back. Take the money and never show your face again!"
Xiao Zhao excitedly opened the System. "Change it! Quick, change ten million to ten billion!"
The System screeched like a groundhog. "But that CEO doesn't even have ten billion!!!"
Xiao Zhao could only regretfully change it to "one hundred ten millions," which added up to one hundred million.
"You're so broke. Why pretend to be a domineering CEO?" Hmph!
The CEO, whose account had just lost one hundred million: "??"
The foil
Xiao Zhao was the cousin who always strove to outdo everyone, yet never got what he wanted. In the end, his partner left him, he got into a car accident, and his whole family died tragically.
The original protagonist, on the other hand, was the one who chose to lie flat, had the blessings of a lucky koi, and eventually used the compensation paid to Xiao Zhao's family to live a comfortable life.
Xiao Zhao: So you made a fortune off other people's blood and tears? Then let's make sure you get your fill!
Now able to edit two characters at once, Xiao Zhao immediately changed "blessed with a lucky koi" to "blessed with a whale."
Eat, eat, eat! Let's see if you can eat yourself to death!
The System, already trembling with fear: "If you change him, you won't be able to change me~"
