In every little world, there's someone like this: a regular customer of the King of Hell, at the very top of the looks scale, a pillar of the protagonist's crew, and the poster child for bad luck.
They're the very definition of regret: the beautiful soul who dies young.
They're beautiful, kind, and good-hearted. They're perfect in every way... except they die too soon.
System 54188's mission is to turn back time and help the widowers left behind by these beautiful souls save the unlucky ones who died young, and change their fate.
World One: The rebellious young emperor and his one true love
System: I'm here to help you save the person you love.
Young Emperor: The person I love? Why would I need one of those? Romance will only slow me down when I'm reviewing memorials.
System: No, you do need one. You'll meet him in three days.
Young Emperor: I don't believe you.
Three days later, the young emperor went to a temple to pray for good fortune. In a snowy plum grove, he met someone who looked like a celestial being. He was so entranced that he walked straight toward him, only to run headfirst into a branch and get showered with snow. When he looked up again, the man was gone.
System: Heh.
System (sarcastically): Romance will only slow me down when I'm reviewing memorials~
Young Emperor: ...
The young emperor turned red and protested, "It's not like I like him that much..."
System: Then why did you send a eunuch to find out who he is?
Young Emperor: Because I feel like it!
System: So you really don't want my help?
Young Emperor: I don't!
The young man's confession was awkward and subtle, pushing the other person farther and farther away.
The System couldn't stand it anymore. "If you keep this up, you won't win him over before he dies."
The young emperor slumped. "Master, help me."
So the System started providing all-around relationship coaching: talk less, do more, hold hands, appeal to his interests, and be direct. The two quickly grew closer.
System (solemnly): Giving the unlucky ones a full life is my mission and my life's purpose.
Besides the rebellious young emperor, there was also a refined villain with explosive possessiveness and his gentle, affection-starved one true love; a younger puppy-like boy and the woman destined to be his sister-in-law; and an even-tempered capybara and his childhood friend who went bankrupt...
The System's one-on-one coaching was a great success. Everyone who's tried it recommends it.
Anonymous Client No. 1: I'm a person with a strong moral compass, but Bro System taught me that sometimes you have to play dirty to beat someone even dirtier. I think he's right. My sister-in-law is my wife now, and we're very happy.
Anonymous Client No. 2: Bro System, the love-life bodyguard, the GOAT forever!
1. A quick-transmigration anthology with a male lead who tops. Each story has a different main couple.
2. The point of view follows the System. The System is a love-life bodyguard and doesn't get involved in its Hosts' romantic storylines. The System has its own romance in the final world.
3. Both virgins, happy ending.

Theme: Most painful of all is parting; east and west, the waters flow, yet in the end the two will meet again.
