Chapter 1 is still going to be a death wish, are you an A, a B, or an O? ...

"Hanhan!"

Ignoring Wen Qingke's pleas, Wen Han slammed the door shut and stormed out.

Aunt Wang, the neighbor, was just about to go out to buy groceries when she saw this and shook her head, saying, "Oh dear, this child is really inconsiderate."

Upon hearing this, Wen Han glared at her fiercely.

Mind your own business!

Grandma Wang was so frightened by him that she trembled and huddled in the corner with her eyes wide open.

——

During the rare long holiday, Wen Han had another conflict with her family.

The tenement building was dilapidated and dark, and the community was connected to the old bungalows in front of it, all crammed together. Every night when I got home, I had to use a flashlight to see the road.

After walking for at least ten minutes, Wen Han finally saw the tree-lined path. The long-lost sunshine and greenery gradually dissipated the gloomy atmosphere surrounding him.

For the Wen family, sunshine and greenery were completely irrelevant; the only reason they rented there was because it was cheap. Just a few years ago, he lived in a spacious and bright villa with his own room, unlike now, where even his clothes had a lingering musty smell.

Thinking of this, Wen Han's eyes filled with resentment as he silently plotted his torture. However, during this rare moment of rest, he decided to first enjoy the fresh air and plants.

A large amount of fresh bird droppings fell from the sky and landed squarely on Wen Han's head.

Wen Han wiped her hand away, then angrily looked up and cursed, "You damn bird!"

Even the birds are against him, he can't live like this anymore!

"Here!" Wen Han was startled and looked around. The voice then chimed in excitedly, "Host, will I be called Ponel from now on?"

Wen Han: "...What are you?!"

The voice actually came from his head!

"Alright, in accordance with the system service philosophy of putting the host first, I must first answer the host's questions. Please allow me to give a brief introduction. I am the 582 series Cannon Fodder Fate Changing System, coded as 582wygm. My sole mission is to change your original fate trajectory."

It babbled on and on, and Wen Han incredulously caught the key point: "Cannon fodder, you're not talking about me, are you?"

"Yes, it's regrettable, but you perfectly fit the concept of cannon fodder, host. However, it's not too late..."

"Wait, let me get home first." He still had bird droppings on his head, and Wen Han was exasperated. "Are you doing this on purpose? I just washed my hair yesterday!"

"Waaah, I'm so sorry. I was supposed to be turned into a strawberry by the space, and then you were supposed to buy me and eat me. But suddenly a bird flew out and carried me away. How scary!"

Wen Han returned to the tenement building speechlessly, her head covered in bird droppings.

When Wen Qingke saw him return, his face showed obvious regret and a hint of ingratiation. A plate of strawberries was on the table. Wen Han looked at the plate of strawberries but had no appetite at all. He went straight to the bathroom and closed the door.

The bathroom was small and messy; you could only stand in a tiny space to shower, and even washing your hair required tucking your arms in. Wen Han inspected the bathroom; good, no cockroaches in the corners. Just as he was about to take off his clothes, he suddenly stopped and asked, "Hey, are you an A, a B, or an O?"

The system stammered, "Host, I am a high-tech electronic system, I have no gender."

So it was a genderless little creature. Wen Han chuckled and quickly took off her clothes: "You're quite lively."

"Thanks."

He quickly washed his hair, reached for a towel, and then froze.

The shelf was only so big, and it had several people's towels hanging on it. There was a considerable distance between Wen Ruo and Wen Ruan's towels, and his towel was squeezed to the ground, soaked with water.

With a gloomy face, Wen Han threw Wen Ruo's towel into the trash can.

Wen Qingke paused for a moment when he saw that Wen Ruan's hair was still dripping wet. Wen Han ignored him and went back to her room. Wen Ruan had gone to visit Wen Hao at his grandparents' house and hadn't returned yet. Wen Han took out a spare towel and said while wiping Wen Ruan's hair, "Okay, you can continue now."

"Okay, host, do you have a projector? If not, a mobile phone or TV will also work."

"A projector? How come I have such a high-tech thing in my house? I don't have a cell phone or anything, just a broken TV in the living room."

"Oh, then you'll have to close your eyes. I'll put it in for you."

Wen Han closed her eyes and actually could see the images.

To save time, the system even gave him a 2.0x speed. The more Wen Han watched, the more his brows furrowed, going from initial skepticism to a deep breakdown.

The world around him was a sweet campus romance drama about redemption, with the protagonist being Wen Ruan. When Wen Han saw the protagonist being the seme, he almost burst out laughing. His dislike for Wen Ruan lessened a bit. It's true that the world is going to the dogs; even a petty thug can be the protagonist now.

As the story progressed, Wen Han finally realized that Gu Cheng was actually the son of a newly rich man in Linjin. He sneered twice; with money, even a scoundrel could put on a beautiful facade and become the male lead.

This drama is both tedious and long. Wen Han has to endure the disgusting scenes of Gu Cheng harassing Wen Ruan every day, realizing that she's either making things difficult for Wen Ruan or on her way to making things difficult for him. She's either jealous of his good looks or his talent, relentlessly courting disaster. In the end, due to Gu Cheng's scheme, she's expelled from school and ends up on the streets.

Gu Cheng even went so far as to claim that he hadn't taken his life.

Seeing this, Wen Han couldn't bear to watch the rest of the story and cursed Gu Cheng as a bastard. He was furious and wished he could go out right now and fight that scoundrel to the death.

"Host, no!" the system cried out. "His family is powerful and rich, please don't act impulsively."

Wen Han sat on the edge of the bed, angry. The system tried to persuade him: "Host, the reason I chose you is because changing your fate is really simple."

"oh?"

"That's right, as long as you don't make things difficult for the protagonist and try your best to be his caring older brother, the male lead won't target you!"

Wen Han asked ambiguously, "You mean, I ended up on the streets entirely because I brought this on myself?"

The system said dejectedly, "That's clearly not what they meant."

*

Wen Han pushed open the door with an unfriendly expression. Wen Ruan had just returned and was sitting at the dining table, eating strawberries in small bites.

Because Gu Cheng would exclaim every five minutes how obedient, soft, and sweet Wen Ruan was, Wen Han now only saw Wen Ruan's little pink fists and sweet voice in her mind, and had no energy left to pay any attention to her. This little rascal was not only morally deficient, but also extremely lacking in knowledge.

Alphas are impulsive and prone to causing trouble, so someone like Gu Cheng, who is uncultured but extremely wealthy, is even more of a threat to society.

Seeing that he seemed to have calmed down, Wen Qingke smiled and said, "It's perfect timing that Ruan Ruan is home too. We're getting ready for dinner. Dad even bought some fish today."

Wen Ruan likes to eat fish, but Wen Han particularly dislikes it: "I hate eating fish, how many times have I told you?"

Wen Qingke felt a little embarrassed. Wen Ruo, who was sitting at the table, looked up at him and said, "Then you can just eat something else."

The other dishes were vegetable and tofu soup, and stir-fried chives.

When Wen Han saw her younger brother, who always sided with outsiders, her anger flared up again: "The family's means can only afford one meat dish, what are you pretending to be a good person for?"

"Alright!" Wen Qingke finally lost his temper.

Wen Han wasn't in the mood for food either. She threw down her chopsticks and prepared to go back to her room.

"Hanhan!" Wen Qingke had a headache; he felt that Wen Han's temper was getting worse and worse. He pleaded in a low voice, "It was Dad's fault for forgetting. Not eating is bad for your health. Dad will buy you what you like to eat tomorrow."

Wen Han's eyes welled up with tears, but she still gritted her teeth and said, "Oh, does your memory have to be this bad every week?"

He sneered, "If you don't want to end up like last birthday, you'd better have a better memory."

Wen Ruan felt a little embarrassed upon hearing this, and the system advised, "Host, let it go. Doing so will only make you seem immature."

Wen Han sat back down at the table with a cold expression. Of course he knew it was always like this, but if he didn't make a scene, wouldn't things just get even worse?

The family ate their meal in silence, the atmosphere heavy with tension. Wen Qingke asked Wen Ruan, "Is Hao Hao feeling any better?"

"Mmm." Wen Ruan smiled sweetly. "He also asked how his father has been lately."

Just as Wen Han was about to make a sarcastic remark, the system quickly popped up: "Host, please bear with it, and please don't make things difficult for the protagonist anymore!"

He could only roll his eyes and silently eat his meal, not touching the fish at all.

After dinner, Wen Han went to Wen Ruo's room and took two hanging scrolls, as well as a calligraphy brush and ink.

Wen Ruo is an Alpha, and Wen Ruan is an Omega, so they can't live together. Wen Qingke has always held onto the illusion that Wen Han and Wen Ruan's relationship will improve if they spend more time together, so Wen Han has lost the opportunity to have her own room.

One of his papers read "Revenge!" and the other read "Hate!"

Hang the two banners opposite his bed so that he can constantly remind and motivate himself, whether he is doing homework, going to bed, or waking up.

"Host, you're writing these two characters," the system said, trembling. "Is this some kind of show of force to Wen Ruan?"

"I'm not that free." The Wen family doesn't even have a computer; they have to borrow one from their neighbor every time they need to use it. Unable to find the information, Wen Han had no choice but to ask the system, "Do you know how to bankrupt the Gu family?"

"ah?"

Wen Han said irritably, "What 'ah'? It's only because the Gu family is powerful and influential that Gu Cheng can deal with me. Otherwise, what can he do even if he doesn't like me?"

"No!" the system quickly stopped him. "Host, you're just a high school student. How could you possibly go against the Gu family? Wouldn't it be simpler to get along with Wen Ruan?"

"Impossible! If I didn't know what would happen to me, that would be one thing, but now we all know what he'll do in the future," Wen Han said bitterly. "Don't even think about him continuing to enjoy his wealth and luxury!"

"I can ignore Wen Ruan, but I absolutely cannot let that bastard Gu Cheng get away with this!"

What gives Gu Cheng the right? He was just born into a good family; without that background, would he be so arrogant? He'd be in jail long ago!

The system cried out, "Those who make things difficult for the protagonist don't have a good ending, but at least they can survive. In the drama, those who make things difficult for the protagonist don't even know how they died."

"So what? You want me to end up homeless? I'll drag him down with me even if I die!"

Wen Han narrowed her eyes: "Let me tell you, what I hate most is people who side with outsiders. You better not let me hear any good words about those two people from your mouth in the future."

"I understand, they're just trying to do what's best for the host."

Wen Han's anger subsided slightly. He lifted the blanket and saw a beautifully packaged chocolate.

Not the cheap kind of chocolate that you can buy by the handful, but the kind he only eats on special occasions.

He hesitated before picking up the chocolate. Did his father buy it?

He suddenly felt a little guilty. Seeing that he was no longer angry, the system chuckled and said, "Host, you like chocolate the most, right? I even chose strawberry filling."

Wen Han's feelings were complicated. He smiled, looking much gentler: "You can conjure things up, too?"

"It's redeemed with points. Even though it's an internship system, there's a monthly salary, but it's not much."

Wen Han regretted being so harsh with it: "Why are you being so polite? I'm not used to it. You can just call me by my name from now on."

"Okay, but thank you anyway for helping me choose a name, host." The system asked happily, "I've always felt my number is too long and too ordinary, but what does ponel mean?"

Wen Han stopped chewing: "...Do you know a famous brand called Chanel? Something like that."

"Oh, a designer brand!" the system exclaimed excitedly. "My name is a designer brand!"

As Wen Han listened to its noisy chatter in her mind, she suddenly thought that having a silly, innocent girl by her side wasn't so bad.
