The late-night street was cold and deserted.
In September, the air already carried a slight chill.
Wang Yuan took a sip of Snowflake Beer, his heart aching with bitterness.
An Yi sipped his Lightning Cola and comforted him, "It's fine, it's fine! So what if you spent nine thousand bucks? Leave it to me! If you're broke, I’ll loan you some high-interest cash!"
Wang Yuan:
"But... but I didn’t even get her number for those nine thousand. Back in the day, I might’ve already won her over by now."
Wang Yuan grumbled pitifully.
An Yi shook his head, "What are you thinking? Even if you succeeded, you’d just get cheated on. Look at me—a clean, single man. No chance of getting cuckolded!"
"Then why did you ask for that older sister’s contact info?" Wang Yuan asked, eyes wide.
An Yi patted Wang Yuan’s shoulder solemnly, "She gave it to me first. The internet’s all fake, Yuan. You can’t handle it."
Finally, An Yi pulled off a smooth interception!
Wang Yuan’s "Destiny Value" finally dropped to zero!
Ding! [Bullying] Mission Complete!
An Yi:
"How is this bullying?!"
Ding! Mission Reward: Subsidiary System [Financial Management]! Evil Power Value +20!
An Yi raised an eyebrow. "An actual system?"
"No way, a tiny mission like this rewards a whole system?"
"So this guy isn’t the ‘God of Wealth’ type?" An Yi felt a pang of existential sorrow.
Without a wealthy bro, his dream of eternal leisure—lounging at home, hugging girls, drinking beer, and watching TV—was shattered.
Now he’d have to go back to being the Boss.
"Making money yourself is exhausting!"
Glancing at the Financial Management System, An Yi wondered if he should give it to Lan Ruoxi.
But after a quick look, his face darkened, and he immediately dismissed the idea.
[Financial Management System]
System Description: For every 1 point of Misfortune suffered, gain 1 point of Ability!
An Yi was intrigued. "It devours Misfortune in exchange for abilities? That’s new."
Ability Exchange Shop:
- Accounting Mastery: 100 Ability Points!
- Word Proficiency: 100 Ability Points!
"Damn, this is useless!"
An Yi’s eyebrows shot up.
"Turns out there’s a system even lamer than just punching things forever."
Misfortune Points:
- Getting beaten up: 10 Misfortune Points!
- Taking the blame: 5 Misfortune Points!
- Being scolded: 1 Misfortune Point!
- Being badmouthed: 1 Misfortune Point!
- Getting a "Nice Guy" card: 5 Misfortune Points!
An Yi skimmed through the list, unimpressed. "Even stingier than the Villain System!"
He didn’t even feel like exploiting a loophole.
"To save up 100 points for some office skills? That’d take forever!"
Scrolling down the endless list of misfortunes, his finger suddenly stopped at the very bottom.
Getting cheated on: 1,000 Misfortune Points!
An Yi gasped, "Holy sht!"
"This is Wang Yuan’s personal system!"
And at the end, it read: [Transferable].
Ugh.
Wang Yuan, now drunk off Snowflake Beer, suddenly bent over the curb and vomited violently.
Between heaves, he sniffled, tears streaming down his face.
"Wh-why am I so unlucky?! As a kid, my pocket money got stolen. As an adult, my girlfriends got stolen. This year’s even worse—every relationship crashes and burns. I’ve been cheated on four times already! Even random thugs beat me up outside school!"
Listening to Wang Yuan’s tearful rant, An Yi sighed deeply.
At the same time, he confirmed one thing:
"This guy is definitely not the protagonist."
"What kind of protagonist gets cuckolded nonstop? A little is fine, but this is ridiculous!"
"An endlessly cheated-on male lead won’t win any fans."
"You know what?"
An Yi’s voice turned serious.
Wang Yuan, still cursing fate and sobbing, saw An Yi’s grave expression and tensed up. "Know what?"
"If a road leads nowhere, turn back. If love isn’t returned, let go. If passion gets no response, know when to stop."
An Yi exhaled and spoke earnestly.
Wang Yuan seemed to ponder this, nodding vaguely.
An Yi clasped his hands behind his back and mused, "When I’m at my lowest, I tell myself: Heaven gave me talent for a reason. These trials are just tempering my will. After so many hardships, nothing can break me anymore. Experience is self-refinement—the more you endure, the stronger you become."
"When Heaven is about to place great responsibility on a man, it first tempers his heart, strains his muscles, starves his body, empties his being, and confounds his every step!"
Wang Yuan’s eyes lit up with sudden inspiration.
"Bro Yi! If Heaven’s torturing me like this, it must be testing me! Tell me—with all this suffering, am I the Chosen One?!"
"Chosen my ass! You’re just a walking tragedy!"
Suppressing the urge to roll his eyes, An Yi patted his shoulder with solemn gravity.
"You guessed right!"
"This Misfortune System was made for you!"
Wang Yuan grinned. "Bro Yi, I’ve decided! I’m going to pursue Miss Lin Mei'er and marry her!"
An Yi’s eyebrow twitched violently.
"Bro, if you die someday, I’ll burn a whole nightclub’s worth of incense for you."
"It all comes down to money. If I were rich, girls would like me, chase me, love me!"
Wang Yuan clenched his fists, teeth gritted.
"Not necessarily. Just look at ‘IV drip—missing your fluid’ guy."
An Yi nodded. "True, money changes everything. What if I gave you an opportunity? Would you take it?"
"Y-you’re giving me that million from the ‘Poison Prince’ compensation?!"
Wang Yuan’s eyes widened in shock.
An Yi:
"Shallow! Money from others can’t compare to earning it yourself! Sure, I took that million, but my noble soul suffers every second!"
An Yi lectured sternly, "Money you earn yourself is the only kind you’ll spend happily. Come work for my company!"
Wang Yuan blinked. "You’re a rich second-gen?"
An Yi smirked arrogantly. "No—I’m the first-gen."
Wang Yuan hesitated, then nodded fiercely.
"Bro Yi, I’ve been unlucky since birth—even people around me get dragged down. You’re the only one who never looked down on me, even invited me in. From now on, I, Wang Yuan, am yours!"
An Yi’s smile froze.
"Wait, the Misfortune affects bystanders too?!"
"And what do you mean ‘yours’? I have a CP!"
Of course, An Yi had no idea that the unlucky guy he’d picked up today would one day fund the entire Asura Sect. [But that’s a story for another time.]
Ding! Recruit [Wang Yuan]?
Hearing the system’s voice, An Yi smirked.
"This guy triggered the system? Maybe he’s not so simple after all."
He casually tapped [Confirm].
Then, he discovered something shocking—Wang Yuan’s loyalty to him was already at a staggering 100 points!
Maxed out instantly!
The only other person who’d given him this treatment was Fang Jueming.
An Yi said coolly, "Bro, I’m giving you something."
Wang Yuan blinked. "What?"
Suddenly, Wang Yuan gasped in disbelief.
"B-Bro Yi, this is…"
"Remember one thing: Getting cheated on isn’t scary. What’s scary is not having the courage to face it!"
An Yi gripped his shoulder firmly.
"If you work under me, no moping around. Understood?"
"YES!"
Wang Yuan roared, tears of passion in his eyes.
ither go to a cultivation world where a single sword strike can defeat ten thousand enemies. Or they travel back to historical dynasties to alter history and wield imperial power. At the very least, they'd go back a few decades to get rich using their future knowledge and build a harem. Who the hell would transmigrate here!
. As long as he maintains the villain image and follows the plot to the grand finale, he can obtain generous rewards and return to the real world. So Gu Chen'an entered the role and began to act as a scumbag villain, but who would have expected that the female leads could hear his inner thoughts. Miss Su from the Su family was shocked: "I originally thought Gu Chen'an was a scumbag, but I didn't expect he turned out to be a gentleman! What? You said I have to call off the engagement? I definitely won't, I'll piss you off!" Bai Yuan Tian was dumbfounded: "Young Master Gu is usually unreasonable and a complete brat, but he actually calls me little sweetie in his heart? What, Young Master Gu even said he likes me?" As the female leads' images collapsed more and more, the plot also collapsed with it. Gu Chen'an looked at all this chaos. "Ladies, don't aggro me, if you keep this up the male lead really will stab me, I still need to survive to the grand finale!"
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty!

Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"
