Xue Ling woke up in another body and felt drained in body and spirit.
His power had been emptied out. In the midst of attempting to balance out his powers, his consciousness had been focused within his body, and he had been completely clueless regarding everything happening around him until he woke up just now in a new body.

He was still a little confused.
The system was circling around his head. When it discovered that he had woken up, it lowered his head to rub against its host.
“Is host awake?”
Xue Ling massaged his forehead and frowned slightly. “Where am I?”
“We’re already in another world.” The system raised its paw and pressed it lightly against Xue Ling’s cheek, saying, “Some unexpected situations arose in the previous world. It was no longer suitable for host to continue staying there, so I brought you back to the system space ahead of time.”
“What about now?” Xue Ling looked around, and found that he was in a room. The décor and furniture were all very standard, neither high-tech nor antique. Was this a relatively more normal world?
“Host fainted after successfully integrating the energies. In order to calm you down as soon as possible, I chose a relatively common world for you to transition into.”

Xue Ling nodded. He did not want to move, and quietly lay on the bed. It was rare for him to be able to lie in bed after transmigrating into a new world, and it was great if he could just rest for a while first. It had to be said that he had never received such good treatment from the system ever since they had become even vaguely familiar with each other.
However, Xue Ling also wouldn’t be silly enough to believe the system’s deceptive words. He still remembered the last world that the system had told him he could relax in – he had entered the world on his wedding night and an entire series of events had broken down. The system had even dared to say that world was suitable for resting!
Although he didn’t want to know about the world and his current body’s troubles at all, at the end of the day, there were some things that Xue Ling couldn’t just put down. He lay there for a while, and then opened his mouth to ask the system, “That’s not right… If I’ve left, then what happened to the task in that world? What’ll happen to Chi Jian and Shaofeng…”
“Host can rest assured. Your body remained alive after you left… Um…”
Seeing the system’s hesitation, Xue Ling raised his eyebrows and pressed, “Why did you stop? Is it something related to the man?”
“Well… He took a strand of the host’s soul and placed it in that body. Everything happened too suddenly, and there was no other way…” The system was rather hung up over the matter of its host’s soul having had a sliver drawn away. After all, it wasn’t sure whether or not its host would be bothered by such a thing.

Based on his reaction, it appeared that Xue Ling did not mind. He nodded and said, “As long as it won’t cause any problems, this is indeed one way to deal with it…”
“Only, there is a small side effect…”
“Hm?”
“Host’s soul is now incomplete… Likewise, if that person also followed you over, a strand of his soul will also have remained behind in that cultivation world.” Although the system was a little delighted with their misfortune, its expression was still as innocent and helpless as ever. “Because your souls are incomplete, there is a very high likelihood that he will recognize the wrong person…”
Xue Ling: “…”
Once he understood what the system was trying to say, Xue Ling raised his eyebrows and appeared to have gained some interest in the system’s words. “For you to say that, does it mean that you already know who he is in this world?”
“I promised host in the last world…” The system snickered and continued, “So in this world, I had a conversation with the Lord and tried to arrange an identity that was suitable for you to bully and abuse.”
Xue Ling’s interest was piqued, even though he understood that the plot of this world was very likely to be full of traps.

“In that case, give me the plot. I’ll remain lying down while I accept it so that I won’t end up in a position where I’m unable to deal with anything unexpected.”
Seeing that its host really had no opinions about their circumstances, the system nodded and passed on the story.
The world selected by the system was really well suited for a holiday. Unlike those weird and strange worlds that they had been in before, this one didn’t really have a tricky setting. This was a very normal dogblood script, and the plot even had a BE. When the story ended, the main protagonists broke up and went separate ways, and none of the characters were able to get the people or things that they wanted.
Xue Ling’s guess was that the original story had probably been written as a piece of heart wrenching youth literature, because the development of the entire plot seemed to be filled with a light sense of sadness. Even if the set-up was interesting, at the end, it still went down the path towards stabbing the reader in the heart with a knife. And it was a knife that had been coated in sugar. When people were willingly pulled in by its sweet taste, they suddenly realized that it was a knife. The story seemed to have achieved its purpose after making readers thoroughly muddled, and so it ended.
The main focus of the story was still on the relationship between two men. The protagonist shou was the elder brother of Xue Ling’s current body. He was a university professor, and the protagonist gong was one of his students.
Originally, there was no way for a relationship to develop between the two. But they developed a connection anyway because the protagonist gong bought back a little toy pig. As long as the gong brought the little pig with him to sleep, he would turn into the shou’s family cat for the night. And it was precisely because of this interaction that he would discover that the shou was the person he met over the internet who he secretly had a crush on.
The protagonist shou was named Mu Sichao and his internet alias was Thoughtful Dawn. He was a famous god in the internet audio drama circle – his voice could change in a hundred different ways, and he could come off as a gong or a shou. The most important point was that his voice was particularly provocative, and if everyone he had teased before all lined up, they could probably form a circle around the earth. He had gotten together with enough different CPs to form his own football team. And the protagonist gong was coincidentally a new entrant in the circle as a gong voice. He encountered the famous god the first time he joined an audio drama group. Young and ignorant, he turned red as soon as the protagonist shou flirted with him. Afterwards, he began to look into all the protagonist shou’s works, and it was as though he had entered a deep pit and had no way of getting out at all.
