Now That We Have a System, We No Longer Pretend to Be Honest.

After a car accident, Gu Yishui discovered that he had been bound to a System. System: “From now on, you’re the villain. You have to become a stumbling block on the protagonist Lu Cheng’s road to success, steal his wealth, take over his business empire, and claim his beautiful fiancée.” Gu Yishui: “It’s 2027 and you’re still making people play the villain? Can’t the Systems industry keep up with the times?” System: “?” - Resistance was futile, so Gu Yishui had no choice but to carry out villain missions under the System’s direction. A typhoon was the perfect time for murder and robbery. The System wanted him to sneak into the protagonist’s company, but Gu Yishui was called back to work for a shift. The System got hold of the protagonist’s schedule and told Gu Yishui to follow him, waiting for the right chance to make a move. But Gu Yishui’s leave request wasn’t approved. The System got him a ticket to a high-profile gala and told him to attend, but Gu Yishui was called back to work for a surprise alcohol test. The System broke down: “Can’t you just quit that lousy job?!” Gu Yishui looked at the 260 yuan in his bank account, his eyes lighting up. “If I quit, can you support me?” System: “…” Later, Gu Yishui finally came face-to-face with Lu Cheng, the protagonist of the book. The System urged him frantically to carry out his villain mission, but the tall, stern man in front of him didn’t even look up. Lu Cheng: “Check your backend.” Gu Yishui: “What backend? My bank account?” Lu Cheng sneered. “The System backend.” Gu Yishui: “??” Gu Yishui tapped open the System interface. Right there on his System interface was a new game app icon: Honor of Kings! He tapped it, and the sound of “Timi” exploded in his head. He could actually play it! Gu Yishui looked up in shock. “Bro Protagonist! You have a golden finger too?!” - Lu Cheng hated it. He knew he was living in a novel. He was the protagonist of that novel, and the target of countless mission-takers, transmigrators, and people bound to Systems. So many people with ulterior motives approached him. So when that day came and a guy who was scared out of his wits, trembling as he approached with a tacky villain System, stammered, “L-Lu Cheng, I’m g-gonna take everything from you,” Lu Cheng couldn’t even be bothered to deal with him. Without looking up, he installed Honor of Kings in the guy’s System backend. Lu Cheng: “:)” Get lost. See my golden finger? Stay the hell away from me. But then That day, he had just finished dealing with a System host who’d come to steal business secrets when the window behind him was kicked open, and the night wind rushed in. That same timid villain System host had climbed up to the thirty-sixth floor with his bare hands. He was crouched on Lu Cheng’s windowsill, smiling brightly. The night wind whipped around them, and his eyes shone brilliantly. Gu Yishui: “Bro Protagonist, your golden finger is amazing. My System didn’t even realize you’d installed a game on it.” Gu Yishui: “But I don’t play Honor of Kings. Can we switch to another game? Have you heard of Genshin Impact? Does this world have it?” Lu Cheng: “?” Lu Cheng: “You climbed thirty-six floors with your bare hands just to say that? Aren’t you afraid of falling to your death?” Gu Yishui: “Oh, right, I’m the villain. I have a lock-on-health mechanic, so don’t worry, I can’t die. So, can we change the game?” Lu Cheng: “…?” A cold and aloof protagonist who’s always fighting against Systems, gong × a ridiculously powerful shou who pretends to be an ordinary office worker Reading Guide: ① Synopsis dated August 20, 2026 ② The synopsis is roughly as written; the synopsis and title may be polished later. ③ The gong and shou trade blows and set traps for each other early on; both are formidable.
