22 March 2025, 4am.
Xu Qichen died suddenly.
One moment ago he was sitting in front of the computer updating his new novel, the next, his head fell onto the keyboard, and he plunged into darkness.
At this time, he heard a slightly metallic voice from an unknown source.
“Hello, welcome to the BE Crazy Demon Survival System, I am the system AI, number 0901.”
Xu Qichen: “What system???”
The voice did not rush: “This system is also known as Conscienceless Author Debt Repayment System, Readers Please Love Me Once More System, and BE Rejected Please Rewrite System.”
If Xu Qichen could see his own face, it would probably be full of black lines. These aliases couldn’t be more familiar to him, they were all the phrases that appeared most frequently in his Weibo comments.
As a male danmei author, Xu Qichen could definitely be considered a rare species, but with his rollercoaster plots, unique writing style and diligent updates, he had naturally become popular.
It’s only that the novels he wrote all have two common issues: Firstly, the emotional plot line was shallow, and secondly, once his hand slipped it became a BE.
System: “Mr. Xu, in this system you will transmigrate into each world, and complete the designated task while acting as different characters. At the same time, while completing the task…”
“I refuse,” Xu Qichen said straightforwardly.
The AI who was interrupted still remained emotionless, “Very well, the host has chosen to refuse to enter the system…”
Ai… refusal is possible?
“If the host refuses to enter the system, the host’s ending of sudden death in reality cannot be changed.”
“Ai wait!” Xu Qichen immediately reacted, “Am I really dead?”
“Yes.”
This tone left no room for doubt.
Xu Qichen tried: “So, if I enter the system, I can still be saved in reality?”
“Yes. If you complete all the tasks, your ending of sudden death in reality will be overwritten.”

No, he couldn’t die.
Xu Qichen adjusted his emotions, “I choose to enter the system.”
“Very well, now entering the first world.”
This work efficiency is a bit too high…
Many fragmented images flashed across his mind, the dark space around him began to distort, countless shining fragments gathered around him, slowly forming his body.
Xu Qichen lowered his head and saw his hands gradually gaining shape. He tried to touch them. The sense of touch was scarily realistic.
When he opened his eyes, aside from the ceiling, it’s a few faces both strange and familiar.
“Mengze is awake!”
Xu Qichen sat up on the sofa, frowning. In front of him were four good looking youths with different temperaments, wearing slightly exaggerated stage makeup.
The guy just now, called him Mengze.
Mengze…?
“Transfer complete. Mr. Xu, your identity in this world is the face of the nation’s talented idol group Soulmate, Ji Mengze.”
What?!
Xu Qichen ignored the others’ concerned greetings. He got up and walked to the mirror. An extremely delicate face, with similarly exaggerated makeup, that was even prettier than a girl’s, appeared in the mirror.
Xu Qichen couldn’t help but reach up to touch his own current face, asking the voice in this mind: “Why did I enter my own novel?”
System AI replied: “All the worlds in this system originate from the novels written by Mr. Xu. The roles set by the system for Mr. Xu are also the main characters of the novels.”
Xu Qichen carefully looked at himself in the mirror, then looked at the people around him.
He had indeed entered his own novel.
This novel was an entertainment circle novel he started serialising six years ago, named “The Peak of Competition Between Beauty and Acting Skills”. In honesty, his purpose for writing was not very pure, it was only because entertainment circle novels were very popular those few years, so he simply wrote one to cater to the market.
His current identity, which was also one of the male leads of the novel, was super-popular boy group’s super-popular idol. Xu Qichen knew well the current era where male homosexuality is in power, so he created the perfect flower vase that was Ji Mengze very tackily. Without mentioning anything else, just his outer appearance could be said to be extremely beautiful, but unfortunately his acting skills were not very good. He used his popularity to act in one film after another, and every one was a bad film.
The other male lead happened to be the exact opposite of Ji Mengze. He was Lin Ran, the youngest film emperor in history, born to act. The two met when acting together in a film about homosexuality. Lin Ran despised Ji Mengze who depends on his face to eat, so the two did not really get along. Unfortunately when the film came out, its box office boomed, they became the nation’s CP at the speed of light, and ended up being tied together, going onto variety shows and the hot search.
However…
Xu Qichen recalled, this novel seemed to have a BE.
It couldn’t be helped, towards the end Xu Qichen lost his passion for this novel and only wanted to quickly end it and start a new one. So he wrote Ji Mengze to death, the cause of death being suicide due to long-term cyber violence and malicious slander.
Thinking of it now, it does seem to be a little irresponsible.
Having gone through all the plot once, Xu Qichen somehow started to become confident.
“0901, I have a question,” It’s strange to use the word ‘system’ as a name, so Xu Qichen simply used the number the AI mentioned, “I’m the author, all the plot was created by me. Is there any meaning in playing a game with god’s eyes?”
0901 explained: “Mr. Xu, firstly, this system is born out of your novel, but it is not exactly the same. Secondly, you no longer have the identity of the author with god’s vision, but that of a character in the story. Every choice you make will lead to unpredictable changes in the development of the story.”
Xu Qichen’s head started to hurt. He clearly transmigrated into his own novel, and became the winner in life who has a script, but it turns out the script he received previously may not hold, and everything step he takes may result in a completely different ending.
Is this the butterfly effect…
“Mr. Xu, I will now release your main mission.”
A screen only Xu Qichen could see appeared before his eyes. There was a line of big blue words on it: Change Ji Mengze’s suicide ending.
Xu Qichen stared at the line of words and asked: “If the task fails?”
“No matter which world, once the task fails, you will no longer be able to revive in the real world.”
Compared to the other quick transmigration novels he read, his current experience was much more like a certain kind of death game. Xu Qichen had no road of retreat.
Frankly speaking, Xu Qichen had never followed celebrities, nor had he ever felt anything for the traffic niches online.
But if he becomes a traffic that passersby have a poor impression of and has suffered long-term cyber violence, how should he turn around?
This outer appearance in the mirror was really very good looking. Although he also had decent looks in reality, it’s not worth mentioning when compared to this character setting.
“Right, do I have to imitate the different world’s character settings?” This was a question Xu Qichen was concerned about, as it affected whether he had to use his own poor acting skills.
0901: “If the people in the system world doubt your identity, the task will face danger. This is likely to result in failure.”
That means he has to make sure not to be overly OOC.
“Mengze, are you alright?” The one with the gentlest temperament out of the few others walked forward and placed a hand on his shoulder.
Xu Qichen carefully thought over the settings, then smiled and replied: “I’m fine, Ming Qi.” Seeing Ming Qi smile slightly, Xu Qichen secretly let out a relieved sigh. He guessed correctly.
The first guy who shouted when he woke up should be the lead singer Bai Yi. When he was writing he recalled that boy group lead singers all seemed to be short, so he wrote the setting like so. The one beside him with clear muscular lines should be the rapper Jiang Ling.
He glanced at the thin but scornful one in the corner. Xu Qichen thought for a bit, it should be the lead dancer Shen Huan, who also liked Ji Mengze in the original novel.
After roughly sorting out the characters, Xu Qichen gave everyone a weak smile, “Sorry, I made you worry.”
Bai Yi: “You suddenly passed out after getting off the stage, really gave me a fright.”
Jiang Ling hugged himself. “Thankfully you didn’t faint on the stage, or the fans would go crazy.”
Xu Qichen nodded, and was pushed onto the sofa by Ming Qi. A cup of water appeared in front of him. He looked up, it was Shen Huan who handed it over.
He said “thank you” softly, took the cup and started sipping from it, rapidly going over the plot in his mind.
Suddenly, there was the clip-clop sound of high heels from the door.
Bai Yi said softly: “Yun mama is back~”
Just as he said that, a woman in her thirties with a capable temperament walked in. Xu Qichen looked at her, this woman’s aura is really strong.
Right, this is Soulmate’s agent Li Yun.
Xu Qichen opened his mouth weakly: “Yun-jie…”
Li Yun said to the other group members: “Hurry up and get ready for the concert afterparty.” Then she turned to look at Xu Qichen’s face. “How are you?”
Xu Qichen: “Much better.”
“That’s good. Amy, help Mengze tidy up again, the faster the better! After that come out and find me.” The last sentence was for Xu Qichen.
Xu Qichen nodded, followed the staff to the lounge and took a shower. The hair stylist wanted to restyle him, but Xu Qichen told him just blow drying is enough.
However, makeup artist Amy actually put on makeup for him again. This is indeed a special profession.
The other members quickly tidied up and got in the car with the assistant, while Xu Qichen was pulled into another car with Li Yun.
In the car, Li Yun threw a stack of papers to him, “Look.”
It’s a movie script. Xu Qichen quickly recalled, in the novel, after the Shanghai concert, Ji Mengze was suddenly pulled to go for an audition. It’s because of this audition that the later events with Lin Ran occurred. This is a key event in the plot.
Directly entering into the main plot line, this rate of progress.
“By the way, Mr. Xu.” The system’s voice sounded again. “In addition to the main task, you also have to complete a side task common to all the system worlds. If you successfully complete the side task, you will receive additional points and props from the system, which will help you to complete the main task. If you fail, when you return to the real world, although you will be revived, your brain will also sustain damage that may affect your daily life.”
… Such high stakes?
“So, what is the side task?”
This sounds really interesting.. can’t wait for more 😍

Tysm! I think this tl is already good even without an editor. Just sayin’
Thank you! :)))))))))))))))
Well it’s a great story just like his other works IOLYCS and the translation is perfectly fine even though you still don’t have a editor~ Great works! Thanks for the chapter<3
Thanks for the chapter!
( One thing I don’t like about quick transmigration novels is that MCs usually accept things too quickly. For ex, how do they know the system is telling the truth? Why don’t they ask about their exact circumstances like if there is only one system or if they could change into another system, or if there is a contract of some sort to ensure the system keeps their word about sending him back?)
You can try reading Empress’ Livestream or Don’t Pick up Boyfriends from the Trash Bin if you want something like that. I’m sure there are other QT like that but I either don’t remember them or haven’t read them yet.
Haha…. This is why the author shouldn’t have wrote a BE..
This system may seem cruel, but that author was cruel to his children first just got karma.
Just a Spade casually dropping by
♠️💚
Maybe his ML are based on someone he likes in real life
System is a bully…
Thanks for the chapter! 💜💜💜
if his mission isnot to commit suicide… wouldn’t that be easy peasy? he now owns that body. and if he just stay alive.. then the mission is considered cleared.
