After staying up all night, Wen Zhuo clicked on a hugely popular male-lead power fantasy on Dianjia. But by the end, the protagonist hadn't slapped his enemies in the face, crushed the villains, and reached the peak of life. Instead, he had been forced into a romance by a disposable side character!
Wen Zhuo spat up a mouthful of blood. When he opened his eyes again, he had transmigrated into the book as a young master with the same name, a disposable side character, and had gained a Male Lead Growth System from Dianjia.
"So you're saying our mission is to help Qin Yan reach the peak of life!" Wen Zhuo's eyes shone with anticipation. "Then are we supposed to send the male lead opportunities, or help him slap disposable side characters in the face?"
"Neither. Our mission is to ruthlessly humiliate the male lead and make him surpass himself under pressure," the System replied in a sinister mechanical voice. "After all, every male lead on Dianjia needs disposable side characters to serve as stepping stones on his path to growth."
"..."
Wen Zhuo did his best to complete his missions, diligently playing the villain. He even made sure Qin Yan was safe from the abuse of other disposable side characters, determined to defend the dignity of a Dianjia male lead. But then he realized Qin Yan was acting stranger and stranger.
To complete the scene where he humiliated the male lead, Wen Zhuo fought back his embarrassment and lifted the man's chin with his foot.
"System bro, is this enough?"
The System took a look and offered its honest opinion. "The angle is a little low, so it isn't humiliating enough. I suggest lifting it higher."
Wen Zhuo raised his foot a little more. But Qin Yan's gaze traveled up his leg to his face, growing more and more intense. Wen Zhuo got goosebumps under that stare. Just as he thought the male lead was about to hit him, a mission progress notification sounded in his mind:
"Male Lead Satisfaction +100."
Wen Zhuo stared in horror. "System bro, are you broken?"
The System answered sternly, "I'm the most advanced System in the System Space. There's absolutely no way I could make a mistake!" But it also sensed something was off. After thinking it over, it said, "The male lead must be delighted just thinking about how he's going to humiliate you later."
Wen Zhuo reluctantly accepted this explanation.
In the end, he really was thoroughly humiliated, but...
Wen Zhuo's face was streaked with tears, and his voice came in broken gasps. "Y-you... you damn System. Aren't you a Dianjia male-lead upgrade System? Why did the male lead end up gay, just like in the book I read!"
"And besides," Wen Zhuo cried in utter despair, "even if he's gay, isn't he supposed to be the bottom?!"
The System was in despair too. "The book you read was Green Dingding fanfiction! I brought you into a proper Dianjia novel! How did you turn my perfectly good male lead gay?"
Wen Zhuo trembled from the shock and tried to crawl away, but Qin Yan grabbed his ankle and dragged him back.
Qin Yan's eyes were red, his voice hoarse. "Baby, focus."
At the same time, the System frantically blared out notifications:
"Male Lead Satisfaction +1,000."
"Male Lead Satisfaction +10,000."
"Error, error. Male Lead Satisfaction exceeds the System's maximum value and cannot be calculated."
Wen Zhuo's gaze went unfocused. Through the blur, he saw the System change from a Dianjia Male Lead Upgrade System into a Green Dingding Romance Conquest System. The novel The Rich Young Master had also been moved to the Green Dingding channel for good.
