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.”

So far only about halfway through. Just found oit it:s same author as His Marriage Partner is scheming. That makes sense. This author's stories are like a cup of hot tea on a cold monsoon evening. Very poetic and soothing. The pacing is a bit slower than I would prefer. But it's so heartwarming and amazing. Love Found Family trope. All the side characters are also equally well fleshed out. Loved his friends, his teacher, professor xiao.

In the end you can tell that the ML is just a kid, you... more>> can actually feel, yeah he's just a young youth, unlike those 2d perfect MLs. MC is adorable. I wonder what his backstory will be. The author has sprinked very subtle hints that it will be tragic. Oh well Looking forward to it

Edit: Finished it

Sobbing and crying. Wish there was a way to raise the rating higher than 5 stars. It's a very very beautiful story. Slow Burn of sorts. I love their love story. I LOVE all the side characters. There are no bad guys here. All characters are written with such depth, and none are forgettable. Amazing story!

This story is just pure undiluted joy. <<less

Slow, slice-of-life tale, but very cute and sweet.

It was a bit slower than my preference, but overall still a nice story.

What stood out to me was that the villains were very three-dimensional, and not everything was about face-slapping (thankfully). I enjoyed the slow-burn romance and the balance of the fluff and drama.

The story seemed to be written to break common tropes as well; lots of novel authors worship wealth and always have wealthy characters somehow appear more noble than their poorer counterparts (Eg. A MC who was switched at birth... more>> had to be "better" with more "noble" blood than the villain). But this novel showed that the wealthy family wasn't necessarily the better one.

Really adorable cast and the world felt very vivid.

Spoiler

Also first time in a novel where the main character visited other world systems too.

[collapse]

Translation was great. <<less

I really like this author's style. I've only read this and their other work (HMPS, translated) but I can't help but find their stories as... atmospheric? Like, there's a very comforting and poetic vibe to the whole thing. It's like gazing at a painting.

The college arc was bland but the first arc (pre-college) was one of the most heartwarming and touching arcs I've read in a while. If this wasn't danmei and the story continued from that arc, it would still make for a topnotch story.

I actually don't find the... more>> romance part that romantic or fluffy or moving. To me it just kind of happened? Or maybe it was because the first arc was too good in comparison.

Pei Yan's story was also bittersweet (more on the bitter part). His experience really drove home the message that the author wanted to show through the story: true redemption comes from the self.

Tbh I could relate to him more than the rest because I also went through something similar to going from one lifeline to another. It's sad that the people he met more or less were just using him, but at least in the extras, he finally chose to live for himself again.

As for the Pei parents, I see their characters as foils for the rest of the cast who chose to save themselves the right way. Both of them were caught up in their own self-inflicted miseries because they insisted on treating others as tools to make themselves feel better.

If there's one character I'm unreconciled about, it's Wenbai. I understand the purpose of his character - to show that some people are happy to be trapped in a rigid system (not the System but like, society and the multifarious aspects of it) and to ensure their happiness, enforce the rules of the system onto others. He wasn't exactly bad towards Pei Yan, but he wasn't good either. I don't like his character and I kept thinking that since this is fiction anyway, why not give him his comeuppance? Maybe I'm too used to face-slapping novels lol

Fang Hao was a scene stealer lol and I was sad when it was shown that:

Spoiler

prior to being a System, he jumped off a building due to bullying. He was only 10. I think that's why he was specially affected when he saw the scar on Chi Xia's (Fu Yinyin's Host) wrist.

[collapse]

The leads' friends were also interesting on their own and for a moment, in the extras, I thought something would brew between Pei Siyou and Xie Chi, and Ou Yiyang and his friend (surnamed Wang) lol

My favorite side character was definitely He Shiwen. His presence in the lives of the leads was life-changing. I think the first arc wouldn't have been so heartwarming if it weren't for his bakery. It was really nice. <<less

I really loved this novel.

I don’t think I’ve ever read one from the standpoint of a system, but this one definitely made me want to read more in this genre.

However, I will say, although I enjoyed this novel, I wasn’t a fan of how the ex-family just r suddenly disappeared. I know this wasn’t supposed to be about them and it was meant to kind of show how systems push the protag forward, but I was still looking forward to seeing the parents regretting how they threw the ML aside... more>> like how the bio mom did.

On another note, I was really happy the author allowed PY (the real son) a way out. I felt like al thought he was hateful in the way he acted, it wasn’t really his fault but the ones goading him and his parents. I was happy because I get tired of seeing characters that have no real malice towards the Mc/ML being turned into evil villains by authors when in reality, they showed mild jealousy at best.

He wasn’t completely likable, but he wasn’t terrible either.

I laughed, I cried and I wanted to thrown my phone.

Aside from the middle part where he became kind of stale, the overall novel was really worth the read.

4.5/5 <<less

It’s a really cute story, it’s heart warming too.

The story pace is slow so if you’re reading this in one go (like me), you might find it boring and wanna take a break

I’ll come back to finish this next time :))

A very beautiful love story.

You could say that this is a very typical, Sun (MC) and Moon (ML) story.

But the MC makes everything different. And ML truly has quality that set him up as Protagonist.

Absolutely no dog blood, a peaceful and positive book about youth, love and growing up. Some parts are boring yeah but ultimately this book has a goal and a vibe and it definitely fulfills it.

Recommends for those in need of soothing, although it might seem weird to cheer on AI - human love, its actually very smooth and lovely. They are equals and opposites attracts. This isnt a cold president type but a warm hearted love of a man who can be warm, loving a little sunshine.

Even though I find... more>> the romance a little boring I think its fine. Some parts (peach blossoms) did annoy me but it didnt happen. Also theres no face slaps or dog blood, everything here is very peaceful. Even the other son is left behind. Theyre not part of the plot at all, which is why the air is fresh but it does make it a lil uninteresting to focus just on the CP domesticity. <<less

I found the book very interesting and also quite funny at times. The basic idea is quite original, as it’s a transmigration novel where the main character is actually a system – specifically for the male lead. I really enjoyed reading it. The content is definitely original compared to many other transmigration novels.

It was a super sweet and heartwarming story. A slice of life, between regrets (being fulfilled) and a a life safe from the harsh reality. Both ML and MC were just wonderful. The road of growing up and the ups and down, make such a wonderful feel good story. Wish there’s also reality like this. Ahh. Anyway if looking for something sweet no nonsense drama or s*upid villains. This wonderful journey of finding happiness is a very good read. Thank you

One of the most beautiful Storys I have ever read.

Its full of pure Joy.

The MC is probaby one of my Favorite Charakters ever. His Joy for everything and His infectious Nature Made him a Joy to follow.

... more>> The ML is distincly human and delevops so much over the coursebof the Story.

The Plot was heartwarming very sweet and full of the happiness of ordinary Life.

To See them groß Up together was touching and sooo sweet.

The Comedy Made me laugh Out loud so many Times and the Side Charakters are also super charming.

Just read IT🖤 <<less

Wow.

I’m deeply thankful that I didn’t stop the novel around the chapter 85 mark. I was getting impatient and wanted to start another novel I saw on this site recently. But something inside me told me to finish this.

I am so glad that I did. I’ve read so many novels on this site, most of them bl’s. This author’s writing style captivated me, the way they painted pictures using their eloquent words or the way they gave advice to the readers through their characters. It was so beautiful.

Our ML Xiao... more>> Pei truly does deserve the whole world, as does our MC Xiao Tong. I was in awe of how much Xiao Pei loved our Xiao Tong. In such a lonely world, they were able to make a family together, it was truly beautiful.

I love their friends too and the extras at the end were really amazing. Some were left open ended like senior Xie and uncle Pei but I like to believe they ended up together.

Lastly, Pei Yan... I had such complicated feelings about him. I truly do wonder if things would’ve changed if he had joined his grandfather instead of his bio parents. But then again, like his friend Zhuang said, nothing would’ve changed. I shipped these two at first but then I realized, it’s not important. What I wish for the most in this novel is that Pei Yan would be able to live happily and freely. In the extra about the adult Pei Yan, Xingxing said “when you grow up, I’ll cut your hair for you” and then correct herself by saying “when I grow up, I’ll cut your hair”. She was the teenager while Pei Yan was the adult. However, what really touched me, was how Pei Yan said no you’re right, it is “when I grow up”. He was welcoming a new version of himself for the future, free from the rules and control of his mother. Good Luck, Pei Yan!

All in all, this novel was long but worth it, I hope Xiao Pei and Xiao Tong stay together for eternity.

also, I love seeing their friend become a pro basketball player!! <<less

Haha, can you feel my pain? Sacrificing some precious sleep time to read this masterpiece to the latest chapter. It's got me feeling all the "love" vibes, especially between the human pretending to be an A.I. System and the cold ml. So f-l-u-f-f and addicting, can't get enough! 😭 Right now, I'm on edge, bored to death, anxiously waiting for the next chapter update. Uwaah, the struggle of having to stop reading because there are no more chapters left. It's so easy to get bored, and I don't want to forget... more>> this amazing fluff material. I'm going crazy with all the time spent here waiting; if only I could read it all at once, dang it. <<less
