After Chi Yu died from working overtime all night, he was forced to bind himself to a system called the Showing-Off Simulator.
The System's rule was simple: if he wanted to stay alive, he had to keep showing off in front of other people, earn show-off points, and trade them with the System for more time to live.
But if the people he fooled saw through his lies, he would die on the spot.
The game's rules were straightforward, but for Chi Yu, they were harder than climbing to heaven.
Chi Yu had been honest all his life. He'd never shown off, and he hadn't even told a lie since he was a child.
To survive, Chi Yu was shoved into the deep end by the System and forced to use his clumsy methods of showing off in one simulation after another.
After being exposed countless times and dying horribly over and over, Chi Yu learned one profound lesson:
The greatest forms are shapeless, and the greatest sounds are silent.
Showing off works the same way.
So he used the few points he had left to trade with the System for one last chance to survive.
S University is an elite school in H City, filled with spoiled heirs from powerful families, most of them vicious and regarded by their own clans as useless good-for-nothings.
Here, power and money mean everything.
To give these heirs some entertainment, let them burn off their excess energy, and keep them from causing trouble for the school, the board decided to redirect the trouble by regularly admitting poor but academically gifted students.
Drawn in by the promise of benefits, these students might start out refusing to bend, but after being shaped by their environment for long enough, they're eventually forced to follow its rules. They trade their dignity and the fire in their hearts to the heirs in exchange for what is supposedly a bright future.
These rules had been in place at S University for years, and nothing had ever gone wrong.
Until Chi Yu came along and changed everything.
The heirs Chi Yu face-slapped in every possible way turned over a new leaf, slowly climbed to the pinnacle of life, and became:
#How does Chi Yu, a poor but gifted student, dare to do this#
#Which powerful family did Chi Yu come from#
#Whatever, believe in Brother Chi and live forever. Brother Chi is my god#
