There are people in this world who are born lowly, rejected, hated, and ostracized by all their friends and family. Even if they give their hearts and bodies, they still end up meeting a miserable fate. They have a name that fits them all: universally despised.
Jiang Ci accepts a mission and travels to the world of a book: [An old-school danmei novel packed with male rivalry, fake and real young masters, romantic rivalries, and a universally adored protagonist.]
The protagonist shou is a heaven-blessed darling, loved by everyone. He is the dark, base, and scheming character whom everyone despises.
He seduces the protagonist shou's childhood friend, clings to the protagonist shou's brother, and sneaks into the bed of the protagonist shou's crush, doing everything he can to climb into high society. In the end, he is utterly disgraced.
As a foil to the protagonist shou, the character Jiang Ci plays exists only to highlight the protagonist shou's kindness and goodness.
System 211 repeatedly warns him not to mess up. As long as he follows the world's setup and finishes the plot, his mission will be complete.
Jiang Ci readily agrees, but then turns around and wraps all these people around his little finger, rewriting the plot as he goes.
Everyone who was supposed to hate and torment him ends up circling him like dogs, humbly begging him to look their way.
The lofty young master of a wealthy family kneels beside his feet, full of remorse. "Xiao Ci, it was all your brother's fault. Please don't go."
The elegant and distinguished student council president stands beneath the pouring rain, begging him humbly. "I know I misunderstood you before. If you'll just agree to see me, I'll do anything."
A top-tier star with tens of millions of fans blocks his door in the middle of the night and pleads in a low voice. "Why won't you answer my calls? Did I do something wrong? I'll change anything."
One after another, none of them look the least bit like the lofty figures they used to be.
System 211 is stunned. "Host, how are you so good at training dogs...?"
Jiang Ci raises an eyebrow. "Didn't I tell you? I used to be in the 'universally adored' category..."
System 211: Huh? (⊙口⊙!)
Jiang Ci: "Number one on the points leaderboard."
System 211: "Wow! (⊙0⊙)"
The newly awakened System floats happily as it watches the points keep soaring, spinning around in delight. Having a Host carry it to victory feels so amazing!
