Lin Xuemu died poor because he couldn't afford medical treatment in his previous life. After his death, he bound himself to a System and entered a novel called F4 at the Noble Academy.
The System told him that completing his mission would earn him a chance to be reborn.
His mission was to play the role of a cannon-fodder sidekick to the four F4, who were born into the highest echelons of society, and deliver gifts to their many admirers.
At first, he thought it would be easy. He only had to run errands and deliver gifts, and each member of the F4 had such distinctive features that he couldn't possibly mix them up.
But when he saw all the luxurious designer goods, he hesitated.
That bottle of custom-made perfume could have paid for his medical bills ten times over in his previous life if he put it up for auction online. After weighing it over, he decided to switch it out for a fake and deliver the knockoff instead.
After all, F2 supposedly hated perfume more than anything. It was the sort of gift he wouldn't even look at.
As long as Lin Xuemu delivered the gift, he would have completed his mission.
In this life, Lin Xuemu wanted to live, but merely staying alive wasn't enough. He wanted money, enough money to live in comfort and style for the rest of his life.
What he hadn't expected was that, because he hadn't been able to afford treatment in his previous life, he'd developed face blindness.
He gave the gift that was supposed to go to F2, who never wore perfume, to F1 instead. Worse, F1 casually sprayed some on.
As the cheap fragrance wafted around F1, he swore he would find whoever had humiliated him.
Lin Xuemu sold the little cake meant for F3, then bought a random one from a roadside stall to deliver instead.
He knew F3 hated desserts more than anything and wouldn't even open it.
F4 frowned at the strange flavor he'd never tasted before.
The same thing happened when F2 took out his newly purchased phone in front of a crowd, only to discover that it was barely half the size of his palm and wouldn't even turn on.
The ring F3 put on at the last minute carried a faint smell of rust.
They found Lin Xuemu, only to discover him hiding in a corner in a uniform practically nobody at a prestigious school would wear, gnawing on a discounted bagel that was close to expiring.
F4 couldn't understand it. Those gifts should have been enough to let him live in comfort and style. How had he ended up so poor?
At the same time, they planned to teach him a lesson.
But when the boy lifted his chin, his beautiful, pitiful face looked around like a helpless little animal. They decided to punish him another way.
Lin Xuemu didn't know why each member of F4 kept coming to him, saying they wanted to be with him.
But when they gave him luxurious jewelry and designer goods, and he saw the balance on his phone keep growing, he thought he wouldn't mind being with them, either.
At first, Lin Xuemu only wanted to get some extra money from them and then run away.
But one day, when he called F2 by name in front of F1, the man's face changed. His large hand gripped Lin Xuemu's small, fair chin. His furious gaze met Lin Xuemu's pitiful one, and F1 angrily bit the poor little thing's lips until they swelled and reddened. He demanded furiously:
"Lin Xuemu, do you even know which one of us you're with?"
