Please follow the links from NovelUpdates or ScribbleHub to read this story.\nLiang Yu was originally the main character of a quick transmigration novel. Worried that disaster would strike, he had conscientiously completed his missions of guiding the protagonists of each world. However, the author had suddenly dropped the novel.Ā 
Where was the logic in that?!Ā 
He hadn't received his salary yet!Ā 
Wait no, he hadn’t even returned to reality yet!Ā 
Where were his handsome male spouses?Ā 
Who was going to give him his spouse?!Ā 
After that pit-digging author had dropped the novel, Liang Yu found that not only had his system disappeared, but so had the whole entire world, and he hadn’t been returned to reality.Ā 
He was like a ghost, living in a dark and desolate world.Ā 
There was nothing there, only grey mist.Ā 
He could shout, he could run, but he couldn’t escape.
Occasionally, two beams of light would appear in the dark world. Through those two beams of light, he saw something extremely shocking.Ā 
Every time the lights appeared, he could see the bright screen of a laptop as it displayed a text editor.Ā 
As a woman’s hand tapped on the keyboard, the characters of his name slowly appeared on screen. After skimming through the content on the screen, he finally learned the inconceivable truth.Ā 
It turned out that he was merely a character in a novel, and after the novel was locked, the author was forced to drop it. And so, his missions had ended and his system had disappeared…
And out of all the places he could be in, he was currently in the pit-digging author’s mind. He was in the subconscious of the author who had created him, and the two beams of light that he occasionally saw were the author’s eyes.
The truth was revealed to him through the eyes of the author.
He wasn't real.
He was just a character written by a dogblood novel author.
This discovery destroyed Liang Yu’s three world views.
It nearly brought him to the point of insanity.
Liang Yu had sunk into a depressed and suicidal mood for a while. He had wanted to destroy everything and strangle the author.
But Liang Yu had soon calmed down and regained his sense of reason.
No, this wasn’t right!
Just because he was a character written by an author didn’t mean that he wasn’t a living and breathing being.
I think, therefore I am.
If he wasn’t real, then where were his current irritability and annoyance coming from?
After calming down and thinking over it, Liang Yu’s state of mind finally relaxed and a bold conjecture formed in his mind.
He felt that the only thing he could do now was wait.
He didn’t know how much time had passed, but Liang Yu felt that if he stayed in this gloomy place any longer, he’d become depressed.
Just as he was about to go insane, a light blue system interface materialized in front of his eyes.
[Hello host! I am your second system, Zi Yue. Zi Yue at your service!] A cheerful voice sounded.
Liang Yu held back the excitement in his heart.
He had guessed correctly.
The anger that he had been suppressing for a long time bubbled up and he coldly asked, ā€œWhat about my original system? What in the world is going on?ā€
He had sorted through everything in his mind.
But he still felt a sense of loss at the disappearance of his familiar blue screened system. However, he also felt a trace of anticipation for what the future held for him.
Who told him to be so optimistic.Ā 
[Uh...that system had a bug...It’s currently under repair...so Zi Yue is going to be your new system…]Ā 
Zi Yue’s voice held a trace of guilt in it.
Liang Yu let out a cold laugh.
Repairing a bug?
More like being thrown into a small dark room forever!
Although he was a bit annoyed, Liang Yu couldn’t do anything about it. He was currently helpless, the moment he saw a hint of hope, he immediately began to wonder how much of his speculations would come true.
Using a cold tone, he asked, ā€œTell me, what kind of missions will I be doing this time?ā€
[In order to make up for host’s previous experience. Your status has been upgraded to the second male lead.
Your missions still revolve around the male lead, but they’re easier this time. It’ll be fine as long as you destroy the CP and bend the male lead, mk…? Also, host, your previous golden finger will still be completely functional… 
Once again, Zi Yue expresses my deepest apologies to the host and promises host that as long as you complete your missions well, you will be able to return to reality without a hitch. Host will also not encounter a bug this time…]
Zi Yue could feel Liang Yu’s anger, and it’s tone of voice became more cautious.
Liang Yu’s frown slowly disappeared.
His anger also subsided a little.
Very good, he had guessed correctly. He could still return to reality. Even though his reality was a fictional universe, it still existed.
ā€œNo more wasting time by talking, let's immediately start!ā€
Liang Yu gritted his teeth, if the author dropped the novel again, he would crawl out of her eyes and break her neck!
[Many thanks for host’s cooperation!]
Zi Yue was touched to the point of crying. When it had been dispatched as Liang Yu’s second system, it had expected Liang Yu to make things difficult for it. But Liang Yu had been unexpectedly cooperative.
[Ding...scanning the new world’s data…]
[Ding...the new world’s data has been successfully scanned...the host soul has successfully entered the body...welcome to the first world, ā€˜The President is Cool and Handsome’, the host can choose to review the details...wishing you good luck…]
Everything turned dark and Liang Yu momentarily lost consciousness before quickly regaining his senses.
He opened his eyes and found himself in a moving car.
ā€œSecond young master, we’re almost there.ā€ The driver from the airport notified him.
Liang Yu didn’t reply, he pulled up the system interface and glanced over the plot.
The female lead, Sofie, had abandoned her lover six years ago for someone else. Six years later, she had returned to the city with the son of the scum man and found Murong Ling. At first, she had merely been begging him to save her son.Ā 
But after he slowly softened, she started getting greedy. She wanted to regain Murong Ling’s heart.Ā 
What made Liang Yu incredulous was that she actually succeeded! Sure enough, the protagonist aura was very powerful!
He had arrived just in time.
Murong Ling had already bumped into Sofie in the afternoon.Ā 
Murong Ling would go to the bar tonight and get drunk after meeting his old lover. It was the perfect beginning to their soon to be dogblooded relationship.Ā 
Liang Yu smirked as he thought up to here.
He was looking forward to seeing the cold-on-the-outside male lead in love.
ā€œDon’t send me home yet, go toā€¦ā€ Liang Yu lifted up the corners of his mouth and slightly narrowed his eyes.
The male lead used to be in love with the female lead. But with him here, it was time for the female lead to step down from the spotlight. As he spoke, he adjusted the collar of his shirt.
He had just gotten off the return flight to China. He was thoroughly exhausted. And now, he was off to meet the male protagonist, he hoped that he wouldn’t be disappointed...
The driver turned the car around. Half an hour later, the car stopped in front of a bar.
After Liang Yu left the car, he let the driver leave before leaning against a street light and waiting.
A while later, a system prompt rang.
[Friendly reminder, the mission target has appeared ahead!]
Liang Yu raised his eyes and was greeted by the sight of a tall man in a white shirt leaving the bar. His footsteps were unsteady, it was obvious that he was drunk.
The drunk Murong Ling staggered out of the bar feeling dizzy. The whole world was spinning in front of him.
Because of his blurry vision, his feet tripped over each other and his entire person fell forward.
As he thought that he was about to fall, a pair of strong arms wrapped around his waist. They grabbed his falling body and pulled him upright.
Murong Ling frowned uncomfortably and didn’t give it much thought. He thought that the person who had helped him was a parking valet.
He took out a key from his pocket and threw it, ā€œI’m drunk, help drive me backā€¦ā€\nThe translator has something to say:Ā
