“We have learned that award-winning actor Xia Liangzhi returned to the country today and has already arrived in the capital. One month ago, he won the Global Best Actor award, becoming the youngest recipient in its history and the only Omega ever to receive the honor…”
On the television screen, the presenter continued to praise him. Meanwhile, the man at the center of the report, Xia Liangzhi, sat on a leather sofa. The dark red wine in the glass he held rippled gently with each movement.
His captivating peach-blossom eyes narrowed slightly, looking languid and indifferent. He tipped his head back and drank, letting the wine flow down his throat. His Adam’s apple moved with each swallow, so alluring that it was hard to look away.
The moment he set down his glass, a cold, mechanical voice sounded in his mind.
“Connection successful. Mission assigned.”
“Your mission in this world: Become the eternal white moonlight in the heart of the male lead, Ling Xiao. Say no to losing yourself in love. Shine on your own.”
Eternal white moonlight…
Xia Liangzhi stood up, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.
“The story in this world is ridiculously melodramatic. An award-winning actor goes abroad to build his career, then comes back and turns into a fool in love the moment he meets the male lead. Does that make any sense to you?”
The system: “…”
Well… why wouldn’t it make sense?
Wasn’t that what supporting characters always did?
The system itself did not know exactly where things had gone wrong. After the story ended, the supporting character had awakened to his own consciousness and developed enough resentment to destroy the entire small world…
Xia Liangzhi waved a hand and turned off the television. No one knew how hard the original owner had worked to win the love of countless people and achieve all those honors.
Yet because he was a supporting character in this world, he had been reduced to a stepping stone for the two male leads’ romance, a tool to move their story forward.
“After awakening, he saw himself throw away years of hard work over a man, commit all sorts of shameful, foolish acts, and end up hated by everyone… Tsk. The fact that he didn’t immediately blow up this world was already remarkably restrained.”
This small world followed an angsty romance plot built around a substitute.
The male lead was a domineering CEO and a high-ranking Alpha. The other lead was an optimistic, hardworking Beta whose appearance closely resembled the white moonlight in the Alpha’s heart: Xia Liangzhi.
After enduring the white moonlight’s jealousy and repeated schemes, the Beta underwent a second differentiation and became an Omega. Disheartened, he left the Alpha. Only then did the Alpha realize his feelings. Once he learned what the white moonlight had done, he quickly dealt with him and began desperately trying to win his lover back.
The plot was so melodramatic that Xia Liangzhi got goosebumps. He truly did not want to get involved in this sort of love story, but what could he do…
Ba La La was paying far too well.
The system, whose name was Ba La La, immediately fell silent. After being talked into a corner, it did not dare say another word and could only reassure itself in private:
“I spent so many points to hire Xia Liangzhi. Just endure it. Endure it…”
If the hosts it had hired before had been able to erase the original owner’s resentment completely, it would never have had to grit its teeth and spend an enormous number of points to bring in Xia Liangzhi.
In Yun Zhijian, Xia Liangzhi was known for his beauty, his calculating mind, and his razor-sharp tongue. Countless systems had been driven to despair by his barbs, yet they still kept asking him to become the host for their mission chains.
The reason was simple: Xia Liangzhi’s mission completion rate was almost unbelievable.
One hundred percent!
He was the only mission-taker in Yun Zhijian with a perfect completion rate. No matter which world he entered, he had never failed.
“Host, please proceed to Mingdenglou to complete the opening mission: The White Moonlight Makes His Official Appearance!!!”
