Shi Huaixue accidentally became bound to a System and learned that the world he lived in was actually a melodramatic substitute-lover novel.
In the book, the miserable substitute Ye Zuocheng was supposed to endure all kinds of physical and emotional abuse before reconciling for a happy ending with the scumbag tops who came to their senses. But just as the story was about to end, he suddenly killed himself.
The entire world began to collapse, and to prevent this, the System came to Shi Huaixue.
System: You have to care for him and stay by his side, make Ye Zuocheng see the beauty in life, and then help him finish the story.
Shi Huaixue: Why me?
System: Because you're the most popular gentle male supporting character in the whole book~
Shi Huaixue smiled shyly: No~ I'm the scumbag tops' disposable stepmother~
System: ...Oh crap! It bound the wrong person!
System: Well, since you're already bound... could you help out anyway?
Shi Huaixue: Heh :)
What did it matter to him if this world collapsed? They could all die together, for all he cared. He wasn't about to do something stupid like go up against those idiot (crossed out) crazy (crossed out) stepchildren.
No matter how much the System wheedled and pleaded, Shi Huaixue wouldn't give in, until he ran into the idiot stepchildren and the poor substitute...
The next second, he watched helplessly as his body suddenly surged forward and smacked one of the idiot stepchildren right across the face.
Shi Huaixue: ...
System, I @#$%&*!
Shi Huaixue, who had always looked on coldly from the sidelines, stepped in front of him to protect him.
That was something Ye Zuocheng had never imagined, but he knew there was no sincerity at all in Shi Huaixue's kindness.
He wouldn't waste time on a man like that, Ye Zuocheng thought.
He had been reborn for one reason only: revenge.
But when he used the memories of his previous life to carefully plan every move, and finally succeeded in trampling underfoot the trash who had ruined his life, the words that slipped out were:
I want to be your stepfather.
The scumbag tops, pinned to the ground and about to start cursing: ...Huh???
Shi Huaixue: ->_>
