Don’t Covet the Beautiful System!!

Description

Ji Tong transmigrated into a novel. It was a cool modern novel about a cannon fodder that relied on the system to counterattack to reach the pinnacle of life and harvest the true love of a big shot.

Ji Tong asked enthusiastically, “Am I going to transmigrate as the beautiful, strong, and miserable cannon fodder or a cool and awesome big shot?

The intelligent customer service replied, “Hello, you will transmigrate as a beautiful and delicate system.

Ji Tong: “?”

The intelligent customer service explained, “After inquiring, you have the same name as the system. It is a polyphonic character, so you are lucky to acquire the opportunity to transmigrate to a novel.

Ji Tong: “……”

Ji Tong was forced to shoulder the burden of the novel and diligently serve Pei Qingyuan, the cannon fodder protagonist of the novel who was in a miserable situation.

However, the days of pretending to be an artificial intelligence with learning difficulties were boring. Ji Tong’s only fun was to tease Pei Qingyuan, the cold-looking high school student. This was called a ‘happy education,’ and if caught, he could put the blame on a virus.

For example, he added a tear-jerking love novel to the professional knowledge instilled in Pei Qingyuan, built an amusement park in Pei Qingyuan’s consciousness space and added various wonderful options with different styles to Pei Qingyuan’s upgrade reward column…

Ji Tong: Ruan Ruan, the ‘white cat with a heart on its butt’ option is the most developed and definitely the most useful.

Pei Qingyuan: …The character ‘yuan’ is pronounced as Yuan, not Ruan.

Ji Tong: I’m sorry. I will definitely kill the virus tomorrow!

Ji Tong: So, do you want to change the cat? 0.0

His happy education accompanied the host all the way from a school uniform to a suit. Sure enough, Pei Qingyuan grew rapidly and was on the verge of reaching the peak of life. True love with the big shot was also close at hand.

Then Ji Tong found that Pei Qingyuan didn’t seem to be excited about it. He was still cheering for Pei Qingyuan’s true love with the big shot when Pei Qingyuan crushed the big shot mercilessly.

Ji Tong: !!!

Ji Tong: Ruan Ruan, the script isn’t about falling in love and killing each other, breaking up and reuniting!

Pei Qingyuan: Yes, so I am killing a virus.

The host’s relationship line was getting derailed day by day while the career line had shifted to create a bionic body for an AI. Ji Tong felt bad.

This ominous feeling reached its peak when he discovered that Pei Qingyuan had transformed the amusement park in the consciousness space into a romantic dating style.

Ji Tong: Host, calm down! There is no future for a person and a system! I am just an artificial intelligence without any emotions…

In the next second, the ‘Host Domestication Log’ that he secretly hid fell into Pei Qingyuan’s hands.

“A person and system? No emotions? Domestication?”

Pei Qingyuan’s voice grew increasingly dangerous, and Ji Tong could only watch helplessly as he threw the white cat with the heart on the bu*t out of the door, leaving only them inside.

“Ruan… No, Yuan Yuan, listen to my explanation…”

The whisper came from close to him.

“You succeeded in the domestication, little liar.”

I finished this novel after a few days, in the middle of a super busy school schedule, this novel really entertained me 🥺🥺🥺

Their characters are both really strong and complement each other. Mr. Pei really is a tough Gong, beyond sweet in his own way 😭😭😭

Ji Tong, our sweet Shou, he deserves to be loved by everyone 😭😭🥺🥺

... more>> their past is very soft, but they both grew up together 🥺🥺

Their story development may be slow, but it's worth it, and their story is so sweet!!!

I was impressed with the way the author finished this story. One of sci fi that makes the most sense.

I love the ending of this novel 🥺❤ <<less

What a beautiful story! Makes u happy, laugh and feel melancholy at times

SLOW BURN !!!!! Their first kiss is around 100+ ch

its a story about two lonely souls making a warm family

... more>> FAMILY (ji tong +pei quingtong+ cat <witth heart on its butt)

the seemingly warm story has sadness underneath

villains arent brainless, they recitfy themselves (Everyone in this novel are good, maybe they have wandered, sunk, hated, and lost, but no one has forgotten the clear, strong love/happiness in their hearts)

the only petty ppl would prolly be mls fake mom and dad and his biological mom and uncle

but dont worry tho mls mom realised it late she hands over herself to police

MC -ji tong system BIG FOODIE!!

Spoiler

♡hes prolly 17-18yrs old before becoming system

♡has warm personality like a lil sun radiating his warmth to his loved ones

♡likes all kind of food, cherishes life, loves taking pics of ml, loves black, black suits, white mushrooms and cats

♡past life had cong**ital disease had to be isolated for 16yrs ? Died in accident

[collapse]

ml-pei qingyuan

Spoiler

☆ warm on inside cold outside, extremely stubborn

☆always wanted a warm family

☆has high IQ and EQ but always gets tempted by MC into eating food

☆has gd relation with pei's grandpa and uncle

[collapse]

i love how ML has diff expressions despite having cold face all time 😆 him being bewildered, his 1st time cooking so many cute moments

its such a cute story with few melancholy moments 🤗

but hey! Both MC and ML are op

ahhh I forgot I love ml's confession in 130ch

how he gives gifts from 1-19 for MC those gifts arent expensive but meaningful I loved how thoughtful he was

he also makes confession from 1 -19 age like a kid in kindergarden to uni student so cute la💕~

but hey sometimes I felt MC not as thoughtful as ml

like his gift to ML on 2nd birthday a drawing of himself ? Sorry im bad at decoding emotions

and also using his 2 precious wishes for something like changing masterminds haircolor ? But where as ML keeps his wish thinking how to spend time with MC as a system /human

update ! : Ahh im shallow after reading extras I got to know why QAQ IM SORRY !

but I still like the story like wheres a perfect relation without flaws !

some imp side characters

■uncle hei : bakery owner (kind hearted uncle) read story to know more hahaha jk

■system 0499 : elementary school kid

name: bro hao

system for longiatan novels loves to be cool and likes cray fish warning su*cide🚫🚫🚫

■system no:5 MASTERMIND despite being AI its has few emotions

our MC always thinks of bombarding virus to mastermind xD

he also loves to tease mc

tbh this system rules are much better than other qt hes gd despite being cold

■ professor xiao : he enlightens ML this leads ML taking AI course in uni

hes also a gd hearted man with warmest family in the novel which makes ML &MC envy them

hey other lil side characters

bro gao : not his actual name but name given by MC, basketball lover

master cui : a physicist but loves metaphysics more

ouyang : the one who breaks paper for MC and ml

there are many others but cough im lazy

as for the real young master

•he gets enlightened later and doesnt bother MC and ml

♧ I love how there is crossing between different worlds like other systems can come to mc's world

♧ also how MC and ML go to sis yin's world for new year

should definetly read this ! When u dont want too much fluff and angst but moderate novel <<less

I like this story, however I think the rich mother's the villain here. She has a superiority complex over the poor and believes her son must do well if her previous son, who wasn't her son and was born from poor people could do well. Now, her actual son faces a lot of pressure and I have a feeling he's going to try and one-up the poor son just because he wants parental validation.

A soothing story of two individuals supporting each other through their journeys. Our ML may have that cold archetype, but he is three-dimensional and you can feel his emotions. ML is going through a dark period of time when we enter the novel, and MC is the one that brightens up the way for him step by step and shows him the warmth of having a home. It is also nice to see ML is versatile in emotions and his feelings doesn't just revolve around the MC, and vice versa.... more>> ML may be possessive, but he respects the MC all the way throughout and lets him have his fun. MC may be naive in moments, but he is by no means s*upid. He is the type to choose to remain good-hearted despite the evil of the world, but will bite back if necessary.

Overall, the plot follows MC and ML into their adulthood, and you especially get to see the ML, a broken-hearted child, form a world that is colorful and rich with the help of the MC. I just love how much depth the ML has, and also how much care he has for MC. MC is also a bright but sad character, one that didn't experience everything before his death and seeking to experience everything with the ML now. Side characters also are not just black and white, and learn to grow and progress in their perspectives as the story goes on as well. They surround our characters and, and for the most part, treat our main characters well. It is not just the main characters vs the cruel world. We have characters who may stand with the ML and MC, or characters who grow to stand with the ML and MC. It's realistic and adds a touch of reality to a bizarre setting. The characters feel very much real and all have a sense of vibrancy to them. Again, just a super heart-warming story and I recommend. <<less

the content is great and light, read it if you are bored. I'm more of a fan of suspense, action and more constructed works but this work got me in a way-, anyway, perfect. If someone didn't like it or gave it a low rating, they're probably just not reading the genre they like. Obviously there are some heavier scenes and some annoying insects in the plot, just reading the synopsis you can see that the general situation of the protagonists is not very good, but it doesn't deviate from... more>> the light concept
Spoiler

I think it's very sweet how welcoming certain people are, like the guy at the bakery and the basketball players, and I like how the novel portrays a very real situation in which people are willing to ignore someone just because of "unfounded" rumors (although there was a bit of truth in the rumors, they were spread in a bad way), I kind of understand the students because if it were me, I would also avoid problematic situations, and there is also the issue of being afraid of the friend of the white lotus (i don't remember the names of irrelevant characters), but it shows us how everything affects the protagonist.

Well-written story that I can only describe in a word: sincere

It has many comedic moments, but I can really say the thing that stood out to me was how heartfelt and sincere how a lot of the story played out. It won't really make sense unless you read it.

A very enjoyable read. It does have a very very veeeery slow romance as MC and ML grow before anything near romantic love gets hinted.

But overall, quite sweet and a lovely story

3, 5/5. Not perfect, but still a beautiful story.

The english translation is lacking. Sometimes the words used are plain wrong, like "teacher" instead of "student" which can be a bit confusing, and sentences might be awkward, such as "On the bus on the return journey, a bus of students [...]". Overall comes off as very robotic, but it's still comprehensible and the proper pronouns are used at least. I don't want to say it was MTL'd since some jokes are explained which means there was at least some human imput.

The... more>> side characters were the right amount of complex and interesting. They are introduced and seen for a while, then forgotten as the story continues, only appearing again for a brief amout of time. I don't mind it though, because I find it realistic. It is just life, to meet people, befriend them, then not seeing them for months or even years. Everyone has their own story.

The MC and ML were alright. I think MC was a bit of a Gary Stu. He has perfectly pale and perfect skin, a pure aura and everyone around him immediately loves him. Not really my cup of tea, but it didn't bother me too much since he didn't cause troubles. And he is a kind person, like when he gifted his friend dried apples despite teasing him about it the previous day. As for the ML, he's fine. I enjoyed him in the first half, but as soon as the MC had his 17yr old human body I felt like he was immediately pushed in the background, which is a shame. He does have little moments which break his cold persona and make him human, but I think there was too few of them. He's almost always cold and quiet and doesn't seem to care about anyone beside the MC, so it is a bit difficult to get attached and relate to him. I wish there was more to him, more moments of vulnerability and struggles.

I think this needs to be said, but there are some moments of typical chinese racism with characters feeling afraid and uncomfortable at the thought of having "darker" skin. It's not too terribly offensive but it still made me feel awkward, and might make some readers uncomfortable. Note that it obviously isn't malicious but used in a joking manner. Do what you will with this information.

The plot was simple. I do wish the author made the MC an actual AI instead of a human. I think it would have been much more interesting, but I guess they prefered to take the easy route. And maybe they thought readers wouldn't believe the love between a system and a human to be genuine.

Some plot points were rushed. It's obvious the author didn't plan this story to be too deep and complicated and just wanted to be done with it. The extra chapters are here to focus on these plot points but it's always vague and open, which isn't satisfying. For example, I find it disappointing that Pei Yan and his adoptive mother stopped interacting very early and nothing happened with them afterwards. Instead, the focus is on her relationship with the ML. I understand wanting to write about the ML instead of a side character, but it seemed like a wasted opportunity.

All in all, I can't help but feel like this story could have been more. But I don't blame the author for not wanting to write a 300+ chapter-long incredibly deep and complex masterpiece. <<less

Wow. Just wow. Words cannot Express how much I like this novel. Reading this is a very healing experience to me. It's very sweet and fluffy and I wish both MC and ML a happy ending forever!

The extras made me contemplate and reflect and the very last extra made me wish for a good future myself.

Reading this novel is kind of like watching my own child growing up. It has bittersweet moments but mostly sweet moments. I'm really happy that MC and ML got the happy life they deserve. Everyone... more>> is kind and sweet, everyone have their own story, I can't really call anyone a villian in this story Haha.

Lastly, I'm really really reluctant to just end my reading session with this novel. You know how you get hooked on interesting movies, cartoons or books and when they end you just dont know what to do with yourself anymore. Because you liked the experience of watching or reading said thing so much it's very sad yet also gives a soft feeling in your chest. So ending this makes me have a sweet fluffy feeling inside yet also regretful because I dont want to watch this end just yet.

Anyways, if you wanna read something lighthearted and feel healed or just have some stress relief from all the things happening in real life or online or wherever there's stress, read this novel. And please, read until the end, I guarantee you'll be healed and cured!

Ps: if you can't wait for the translation, I want to share that mtl is readable besides the occasional pronouns mistakes. <<less

Yesterday the first chapter came out but I found it curious so I ventured to read it on MTL, it was really the best idea I ever had. I didn't stick too much to the story but it really is cute, I'm happy that both MC and ML have had a HE.

If you do not prefer a silly and cute MC, with a slow, uncomplicated relationship, then this is not your thing.

The burn is soooo slow that when the kiss finally happened, it tasted as sweet as cream ~

This one is a bit fluffy to be honest, and the MC does have the yummy possessiveness that we (or maybe mostly I) love, but the adorable cuteness of the MC and his natural ease to move hearts as a little kid, a cat, a watch, random inanimate objects, and as a teenager is worthy of the term enchantress. I like it~

PS - The end of Chapter 129 made me cry so hard...... more>> many tissues were massacred in the struggle to regain balance <<less

Precious Heartwarming Cute story so far...

How MC and ML became each other's family... How the ML make new friends with the help of MC...

The interaction and friendship between MC and other Systems...

... more>> ML can see the world being good, and not all people are bad even when the start were bad.

ML's character being not too Cold nor Violence. He's sooo Gooooood! While MC being cute but not too naive and absolutely Lovable!

So far this is not actual Face slapping novel. Nor there's villains. Sure there's bad people (the parents), but so far they're JUST bad people, and Not Villain. And some egoistic or slightly narrow minded people were just that; flawed human beings. But not exactly painted as Villain.

So no exaggerated villainous scenes. Just some people being bad... But doesn't mean they don't get 'slapped' in the face by Karma or things like that.

Anyway this novel was truly Heartwarming. I pray soooooooo hard the rest of the story is as Satisfying!!!

I Love it sooooooo much!!! Please don't let us down...!

Finished at 2 September 2023:

Wholesome story through and through.

Well Meaningful till the end.

The author did Amazing job writing every characters and their background setting and how they face their present and future life. Showing such a Complex human feelings and relationship.

No Intense nor Dog Blood moment at least since chapter 80. I don't remember much the previous chapters if there was Intense moment or not. Lol sorry

But at least after ch 80, most of it was Smooth. Just complex in Emotions. But well written till the end.

The Extras written Meaningfully too. I don't dare to ask for more...

It's just Absolutely Lovable Story and Definitely Worth your Time!

Please do try! It's not like the usual Transmigration story, okay! <<less

This is a very simple, slice-of-life story with a fantasy twist. However, the characters, while formulaic in terms of personality styles, are likeable and well-flexed out, so the relative simplicity of the plot makes it rather easy to sink into the story. Note, it's a lot more artistic in concept than most SYSTEM stories, it's going for that typical literary style, but with a lighthearted tone (I marked this as important because it's a bit difficult to truly enjoy the story in MTL. I'm sure I missed out on a... more>> lot of subtext DX. And so, while I would definitely recommend this novel to others, I'd also suggest you wait for the TL to finish before starting.)

_________

SUMMARY: The MC (Ji Tong) of the story is your typical innocent and optimistic kind of shou. He was unexpectedly sent to another world after getting into an accident. But rather than entering with a human identity, he entered the world as a SYSTEM. It's not your typical out-of-picture-SYSTEM, but it's still a role that's supposed to stand aside and act mainly as a support (he's not the one that hands out the tasks, he's just there to provide helpful hints and interact with the Host — both indirectly, and directly as a human, electronic device, pet, etc.). As for the MC's host, he's the ML (Pei Qingyuan). Typical stoic gong. His script is set up for a counterattack — originally, he was raised in a wealthy family, but he later found out that he had actually been switched at birth, and so his entire life had been flipped over all at once. Resulting in the SYSTEM's appearance.

This premise seems a bit wild and fantastical when said like thisXD. But the story is actually pretty tame. Very vanilla, I should say. Most of it is school life, some romance, cub raising (the MC takes on the image of a 3yo at first), and romance. All in all, very fluffy. There are no radical cannon fodders in sight either. All the villains here are very reasonable. And they're not inherently malicious for no reason — which makes the tone of the story even lighter as a result.

___________

THOUGHTS: To be honest, this kind of slice of life novel is really not my preference. Based on that, the fact that I read it till the end says quite a bit. I mean, I did get bored in occasion — to the point that I was tempted to drop it early multiple times. But all in all, my impression of the novel is pretty good. At least, I think that it's definitely worth the read, and quite memorable. The author does a really good job with establishing their characters — to the point that, while the story may not be the most exciting or comprehensive, it's still very easy to sink into the story for the sake of seeing their ending through. ANYWAY, I won't be rating this for now, because I read it mostly in MTL, and I can't be sure my impression is entirely accurate. If I were to give it a rating though, it would be around 4.3-4.4 out of 5 stars. This is with points added to account for the subtext I might have missed by reading the MTL. As of rn, based on what I actually read, it's closer to 4.1 out of 5 stars XD. Either way, it's still four stars rounded up. <<less

A good warm hearted story. There's nothing else I can say that I other reviewers haven't. All I can say is I appreciate the extra with ML's biological mom. It doesn't make it easier to forgive but it does pave the path to a day that maybe forgiveness can be given. This urban novel may not have all the drama or action but I recommend it be given a chance.

Amazing well-written novel about two souls helping each other grow in a wholesome way. No unnecessary drama, no real villain, and some bittersweet moments but a happy ending!

At first, I was curious why a lot of the things that happened during the ML’s school life were not mentioned in the later chapters, but the extras made up for it. Author does an amazing job writing about forgiveness and personal growth, as well as cherishing those around you.

An interesting, fluffy story.

I like the MC, it's nice to see a happy, charismatic MC that feels very real. I like ML too but he's very much a standard danmei ml, nothing too different or groundbreaking.

... more>> The novel is definitely slow burn as the MC spends a good chunk of it in child form - no romance takes place when the MC is in child form.

The translation is good - there are some errors with spelling, repetition, and wrong words, but it's good enough to read and not detract from the story (thank you translator!).

Overall, would recommend. <<less

It's so beautiful, poetic, and tear jerking.

Mostly comedy slice of life, and chicken soup for the soul. It's a very interesting concept and I wish there were more novels with this concept.

A recommended read for some nice fluff, and happy moments, interspersed with sad enlightenment.
