Chapter 1

Brian Foster, who was raised on readers' razor blades, suddenly died.

Ding! Your survival system has suddenly appeared: Travel into all your BE novels and become the protagonist.

He has to rewrite the endings? And make this emotionally stunted guy fall in love himself?

System: The sweeter the romance between the top and bottom, the higher your chance of success!

Brian Foster: Sweet stories are impossible, absolutely impossible in this lifetime.

System: Okay, host chooses to remain in a state of sudden death or...

Brian Foster: I'll do it, I'll personally make sweet fluff [kneels]

#It was the survival instinct that moved first#

Brian Foster: You really remind me of someone...

The top: Open your mouth, eat some candy.

Brian Foster: Are you really not...

The top: Even candy can't shut you up!

Brian Foster: You bit me.

#Confirmed by the tiger tooth, you're the one who fed me candy#

Tech genius · hopelessly devoted · master planner · scheming top VS editing maniac · emotionally numb · soft and obedient · laid-back bottom

Warnings:

1. The overall tone is sweet but [not pure sweetness], there are shards of glass, proceed with caution.

2. Both the top and bottom have flaws, and will slowly change in different worlds. The bottom is quiet and has hereditary hypoglycemia.

3. Slow-burn romance, telling the story of two people who missed each other for ten years learning to love and be loved in a virtual world, and finally returning to reality to grow.

Worlds include:

Stunningly beautiful idol bottom X naturally flirtatious movie emperor top — Fake acting, but you're more professional than me

Super dog-phobic bottom X actual hellhound top — Please, don't come any closer

Chapter 1: The Ultimate Showdown of Looks and Acting (Part 1)

March 22, 2025, 4:00 a.m.

Brian Foster suddenly died.

One second he was still sitting in front of his computer grinding out daily updates for his new project, the next he collapsed onto the keyboard, plunging into darkness.

At that moment, a slightly metallic voice came from somewhere unknown.

"Hello, welcome to the BE Survival Maniac System. I am the system AI, number 0901."

Brian Foster: "What system???"

The voice was unhurried: "This system is also known as the Irresponsible Author Debt Repayment System, the Readers Love Me Again System, and the No BE Please Rewrite System."

If Brian Foster could see his own face right now, it would probably be covered in black lines. These nicknames were all too familiar to him—they were the most frequent phrases in his Weibo comments.

As a male danmei (BL) novelist, Brian Foster was definitely a rare species, and with his unique, dramatic plots and diligent updates, he naturally became popular.

But his novels had two common flaws: first, weak romantic lines; second, they always ended up BE if he wasn't careful. These two issues had been criticized since he started writing, but thanks to his outstanding plots and built-in traffic, he remained a popular author—as long as he was still alive.

System: "Mr. Xu, in this system you will travel to various alternate worlds, play different roles, and complete designated tasks. Meanwhile, during your missions..."

"I refuse." Brian Foster cut in directly.

The interrupted AI still showed no emotion, "Okay, host chooses to refuse entry into the system..."

Eh... is refusal possible?

"Refusing to enter the system means the host's sudden death ending in reality remains unchanged."

"Wait, hold on!" Brian Foster immediately reacted, "Am I really dead?"

"Yes."

The tone was beyond doubt.

Brian Foster probed, "So, if I enter the system, is there still hope for me in reality?"

"Yes. If you complete all the tasks, your death ending in reality will be rewritten."

This was too surreal. Good thing he was a writer—an ordinary person would have a hard time accepting such a bizarre setup.

Brian Foster's parents died young, and he had no attachments, but the aunt who raised him until he graduated high school was very good to him. He still wanted to earn more money so she could live well. His new project had only ten chapters, and his little angels in the comments were still waiting eagerly. Besides...

No, he couldn't die yet.

Brian Foster composed himself, "I choose to enter the system."

"Alright, now entering the first world."

This work efficiency was a bit too high...

Countless fragmented images flashed through his mind, the surrounding darkness began to twist, and countless glowing shards gathered toward him, slowly forming his body.

Brian Foster looked down and saw his hands gradually taking shape. He tried clenching them—the sensation of skin was terrifyingly real.

He opened his eyes. Besides the ceiling, there were several unfamiliar yet familiar faces.

"Mengze is awake!"

Brian Foster frowned and sat up from the sofa. In front of him were four young men, each with distinct temperaments and handsome features, wearing slightly exaggerated stage makeup.

The short one just now called him Mengze.

Mengze...?

"System initialization complete. Mr. Xu, your identity in this world is the face of the national idol group SOULMATE, Ethan Carter."
