A Guide to Saving the World Without Failing

Synopsis:

One second before falling into the sea, Qi Yang awakened.

It turned out he was the villain in an underdog novel featuring a whole slew of tropes: chasing someone in the rain, kidnapping, explosions, and plunging off a cliff.

In the book, he was ruthless and did all manner of terrible things to the male lead, Xie Zhi.

Qi Yang didn't even have time to wonder just how evil he could be before seawater flooded his nose and mouth. As he choked, he heard a "ding" beside his ear.

"System π997, welcome, Host Xie Zhi. Please verify your basic information. Is everything correct?"

"...It's wrong."

"Hm?"

"My name is Qi Yang, not Xie Zhi."

The next second, someone lifted Qi Yang out of the sea.

And that person was named Xie Zhi.

·

Qi Yang had to accept the truth: the System had bound itself to the wrong Host, and there was currently no way to undo it.

Qi Yang: "What if you don't bind yourself back to the right person?"

System: "The small world will collapse, the male lead will die, and so will you. Everyone dies."

Qi Yang: "Then can you bind yourself back to him?"

System: "Yes. The System needs to reset, which requires a buffer period."

Qi Yang: "Then I'll wait while you reset."

System: "No. The male lead often 'tries to get himself killed.' You have to make sure he stays alive, or the small world will collapse, the male lead will die, and so will you. Everyone dies."

Qi Yang: "...How am I supposed to make sure of that?"

System: "The 'Favored by Heaven' halo is on you. You have to stay by his side."

·

Helpless, Qi Yang had no choice but to stick with Xie Zhi to save the world.

So when Xie Zhi was kidnapped, Qi Yang ran out of the hospital with a raging fever to save him.

When Xie Zhi's car went out of control, Qi Yang used his own car to hold it back with all his might.

When Xie Zhi's childhood friend, who had yet to 'awaken,' drugged him, Qi Yang tested the drug on himself. He held out his hand to the childhood friend for the antidote, then, the moment he got it, turned around and handed it to Xie Zhi in full view of everyone.

Every deed made it clear to everyone in Tiancheng that the young master of the Qi family was hopelessly in love with the illegitimate son, Xie Zhi.

·

Only Xie Zhi didn't believe it.

Not until one torrential night, when he was driven to White Pool Bay.

The sea wind was bitter, and heavy storm clouds pressed down over the water.

As he plunged from the cliff, he saw Qi Yang sprinting toward him and leaping after him, amid the desperate shouts of Tiancheng's many "heaven's favorites."

Xie Zhi still doubted that Qi Yang loved him.

But the moment he caught Qi Yang in his arms, he knew this man was his.

His, even in death.

-

Later, Qi Yang finally got through the System's reset period.

He couldn't wait to claim credit with Xie Zhi, but... something seemed wrong???

Coming next: I Was Only Pretending to Be Head Over Heels for Him!

Synopsis:

When Fang Nanxi was young, he had a crush on someone.

He confessed and was rejected. The other guy said he didn't like omegas.

When they met again, Fang Nanxi was a superstar with millions of fans, while Yan Ke was a researcher.

That youthful, unattainable love had left its mark.

Fang Nanxi didn't want to keep the man on a pedestal in his memories. The best way to lose the spell was to have him.

So Fang Nanxi decided to win him over, erase that mark, and then say goodbye!

His agent looked at Yan Ke's face and nervously warned him, "Don't fall for him."

Fang Nanxi: "Relax. I won't let an alpha fool me. Pretending to be head over heels for him is just part of my plan. I'm in control."

As they dated... Fang Nanxi started picking out wedding invitations.

His agent held his forehead. "I knew it."

Just as the agent started making arrangements, one night Fang Nanxi, who supposedly had everything under control, came in drenched from the rain and slammed the door behind him.

"He told his friend we're not getting married and that he wants to break up."

His agent was shocked. "Could there be some kind of misunderstanding?"

"What misunderstanding? I heard it with my own ears!" Fang Nanxi wiped away his tears. "It's fine, no big deal. This is just one part of my revenge plan anyway. I'm only pretending to be so obsessed with him that I'm losing my mind, and alphas are all jerks!!!!"

-

Fang Nanxi had stumbled twice over Yan Ke.

He swore he wouldn't fall for him a third time, so he decisively deleted all of Yan Ke's contact information. To remind himself, he logged into his supposedly secret Weibo alt account in the middle of the night and added "(gone dark)" to the end of his name, mourning his dead love.

As the trending topic was taking off, Fang Nanxi received a call from the rescue team.

Yan Ke had been caught in an avalanche, and his last phone call had been to Fang Nanxi.

Fang Nanxi arrived at the hospital in a panic. The rescue team and medical staff were stunned to see the superstar and handed him the phone in shock.

"They're schoolmates, but they don't really know each other. They only got in touch recently because of work. Maybe he dialed by accident, haha." His agent frantically searched for an excuse, while Fang Nanxi hurriedly took the phone.

Why had Yan Ke called him? Could there have been a mistake?

Fang Nanxi looked down. It was his number, and the contact name in the call log was two absolutely shocking words: Baby.

Fang Nanxi: "...???!!!(//...//)"

What the heck!!!!!!!

-

Yan Ke encountered a butterfly.

It had flown in from the days of his youth.

He couldn't escape it.

Yan Ke knew the man liked him for his looks.

He was stiff, dull, and taciturn.

At least he had a good face.

Yan Ke knew the butterfly wouldn't stay with him forever.

Yan Ke did everything he could to make the butterfly stay with him forever.
