Synopsis

Chi Xiaochi: fourth-rate citizen at birth, three-time award-winning film emperor, second-rate temper, first-class looks. He crawled his way out of hell on hard mode to become a winner at life.

Then, he was smashed into a vegetative state by a chandelier.

061: Hello, here’s a brief rundown on the scum gong reconditioning system. This system measures the regret level of the scum gong. Every time their regret level reaches one hundred points, you will be able to leave the current world. A friendly tip, usually, through dedication and self-sacrifice, our employees slowly foster a sense of dependency in the scum gongs, gradually making it so the scum gongs can’t live without them…

Chi Xiaochi: How many regret points is a complete loss of reputation and standing worth? How about a fall from grace? Or wanting something but never being able to obtain it?

061: ……

Slightly spoilery author’s note:
  1. 1v1, HE, gentlemanly, warm, loyal dog gong x satisfied after being playful for a moment shou. The gong is the system. It’s not complicated, scums remain scum, lovers remain lovers;
  2. No smut, fade to black;
  3. Sue-ish, fluffy, no logic, not the same as those reforming villain stories, be warned

  1. Hello, Thank you for picking up this novel! Sounds good so far and i;ve heard only good things about it! I’m looking forward to read it

  2. Umm..

    ‘This project is placed under teasers for the moment to comply with Chrysanthemum Garden rules.’

    So, does it means you’re gonna TL till the end or just a few ch/arc??
    I’m sorry, cuz if you’re not going to finish this then im not gonna wait patiently, and just leave to read MTL instead
    And thanks for bringing this gem up! o(♡▪♡)o

    • I’m finishing it lol

      It just that at the time of posting this I couldn’t update at least once a week, so by CG rules it can’t count as an official project

      But now I can, so I’m going to be moving it out of teasers

      • OOOH! THANK YOU!! i thought this is gonna be one of those novel that only got a few ch translated, so i was asking just to be sure
        Once again, thanks for translating. ♡♡♡
        I’ll be waiting for more (^ , ^)/

  3. Hello, I’ve seen this from NU and I think that this is interesting. Can I ask your permission to translate this to Indonesian?

  4. Be careful of your bloodpressure when reading this. But the faceslappings and Chichi’s and Shifu’s antics are worth it

  5. Hi, I wanted to know if I can translate this novel into Spanish on wattpad with the credits to Chrysanthemum Garden.💞

  6. This novel is truly very good, both on translation and on plot side, but…

    I don’t know, could I put forward a suggestion?

    It could need a trigger warning. Some chapters, although there’s no free violence, are a bit strong (arc 2 ch 1…. nightmare worthy for me).

    That said, it is, I think, the best QT novel I encountered since… ever.

    MC is just too marvelously savage

  7. This needs a sobbing madly tag!! I haven’t even finished the first arc yet but I’ve already drowned in tears!! The world is so real and everyone has so much emotions!!😭😭😭😭😭It’s not super sad or anything yet but this MC and ML… I can’t take it!! This better be a HE or I will blacken qq

  8. For the people who wait for arcs to be finished before reading them (like me):

    Arc 3 – ch. 64-86, 23 chapters,

    Arc 4 – ch. 87-121, 35 chapters,

    Arc 5 – ch. 122-150, 29 chapters,

    Arc. 6 – ch. 151-181, 31 chapters,

    Arc. 7 – ch. 182-210, 29 chapters,

    Arc. 8 – ch. 211-236, 26 chapters,

    Arc. 9 – ch. 237-270, 34 chapters,

    Arc. 10 – ch. 271-283, 13 chapters, END

  9. Queer Eye meets Marie Kondo in this novel where past life companions help gays with garbage boyfriends get their lives together. Does he spark joy? No? Does he make you wish you were dead? Then let’s make him wish he were dead instead 🙂

    A very cathartic series, all things considered.

  10. Hi ! My name is Emily and i would like to translate your beautiful work in french. So, do you allow me ? Obviously, you will be crédit in our website. I already translate an another novel of you but i am pretty fan of your projets.

    Thank you in advance 😁

  11. I waiting for Chapter system vs system, still two world to go. Just can’t wait to read it, i looking in mtl its got to anti-theaf chap haha 😅

  12. Hello , my name is Poppy and i would liketo know if i can translate this novel in Thai ?

    • If so, there would be an official announcement or something like that.. I think it’s more like baumkuchen has some real life issues and therefore had to pause the translation. (It’s not the only one, which seemed to be paused).

      Let’s be patient, I’m sure there will be updates as soon as baumkuchen has enough time available 🙂 Everyone stay healthy!

  13. No meat and smut???

    Whyyyy??😦😦😢😭

    I think this QT story is much worth reading for trashing the scum but I want a meat or slight NSFW for the both of them, sad:<

  14. I think…. One of the best QT novels out there. I am just SO in love with MC and ML, and the friends they meet along the way!!!

    Anyway, waiting for more, thanks < 3

  15. Aiyo. I’m now going to start reading the latest arc. I wonder, Translator-sama, if it’s not too much, may you write down how many chapters it’ll be per arc? Thank youuuu!

  16. The spoilers say its fluffy, but the descriptions concern me. I dont really like abuse or overly angsty stories. Can someone let me know if I should read this or look somewhere else

    • The stories of the people Xiaochi takes over are pretty sad, but other than the beginnings, it’s actually very fluffy and satisfying with lots of face slapping. It can even be considered cathartic in some forms. Floofy’s comment above actually describes the novel pretty well.

  17. if you’re looking for a sign to read this then this is your sign. i’ve read quite a few qt novels but so far this one has the freshest and most logical take on how the transmigration system works and why it works the way it does. mc is … precious and not in the usual way that you might think, his whole character was just so well done. ml is also extremely refreshing and endearing. great translations as always! sometimes i don’t even go to novel updates anymore and just browse around here lol. thanks for picking this up!

  18. Put this on hold for so long because it wasn’t completely translated and then due to a whim of mine, I ended up digging a pit for myself. This is a very good story. The worldbuilding the foreshadowing, the hidden clues and cues in the story as well as the the characters, both main and sub are all fleshed out and thought out. Thank you so much for translating this! Jiayou!

  19. literally one of the best transmigration novel i have read!! i dont know… its a little sad but the overall novel is fantastic. i really love the mc and ml. both are smartasses and they really complement each other. their interaction is honestly everything i love to read about. a 100/10 for this 🙂

  20. Im still in the beginning but i like the novel story. In fact this novel remembers me from global university entrance exames bl novel. The difference is that in the GUEE they have a rella op like god machine made for military uses, this one is(for now) is just a AI that acts like a god(not sure what he really is) just for the sake to collecting energy. Lets wait and see. Thanks for translating this.🥰

  21. 100% would recommend this novel. Holy cow the plot is so good it pulls me in and keeps me begging for more. I started reading quite early on and the fact that I still follow up to every update with my short attention span says a lot. (Also just realized how long the novel is I feel like we’re just starting) Thank you xiin for translating this your a god 🥰

  22. Honestly, the best QT novel around. Just, the best. I’ve to really really give it to the author about world-building, they are amazing at that, and CXC’s character development and his relationship with the lead is so beautiful and heart-warming. Just waiting for the arc to finish so I can binge read <3

  23. thanks for telling that its 1v1 bc I’m a sucker for this…..I’m new here so may I ask if this site have an actual app or just a website.

  24. Waiting eagerly for remaining chapters..this qt novel is awesome!! Hope the translators are not having any trouble in rl and the update soon.. please don’t discontinue 🥺🥺🥺

  25. i really hope someone can pick this up 🙂

    there are “translations” on novel updates but I’m pretty sure the translator used google translate because the pronouns switch from he to her, and lui-laoshi goes from Mr. Six to Miss Six ㅠㅠ. for anyone reading them bc they can’t wait, mtl is a bit better than the new translations posted on novelupdates.

  26. I’m so glad someone picked this up, I’ve been hoping for months that it would be finished translating. Thank you so much!

  27. Is this still being continued? I really hope it is, I love this story so much… hope it’s still going 🙏🙏🙏

  28. I’m so glad this was picked up again! It was the perfect birthday present to check in on it, figuring I’d reread it, only to discover more chapters had been translated. It’s not my birthday till tomorrow but this still feels like a gift.

  29. Rereading this because well, why not? Lol

    Anyway, I love the premise about the original owner of the body, so yep, this is still my favorite so far

  30. Wow, there are 4 years ago’s comments. This story has been here for yearsssss and it’s still on going. Should I read it now or wait for a few more months? 🤔

  31. Wow, this novel has been translated by chrysanthemum for a long time. Thank you for your hard work~ (^w^)/ I just came here because I accidentally found a manhua adaptation of this novel in mangakio. The beautiful illustrations really caught my attention. There are only 5 chapters translated using mtl so it’s a little difficult to understand (there is no official english translation in bilibili comics yet. this manhua has just been released in chinese bilibili).

  32. hi, I’m a huge fan of this novel and this translation (btw thanks to the translator who picked it up a year ago!!) and I would like to ask for permission to translate it. I want to do it for myself and I’m not planning to publish it anywhere but if someone will see the result (maybe my friends) I’ll leave credits and make sure they won’t share it without linking your translation!

  33. Pleeease this is such a good series with really well fleshed out characters and a great storyline. Why does it keep being picked up and dropped?? Kiribold-san are you okaaayy??? 😭😭😭
