In a world where power reigns supreme and determines one's fate, a young man found himself in a situation beyond his comprehension. This boy, with a face so strikingly handsome it could sway even the most wicked of hearts, was fast asleep.
As he stirred awake, a sharp pain throbbed in his head, and a wave of dizziness washed over him.
"Ugh… Why does my head hurt so much? And why do I feel so exhausted?" he muttered, trying to sit up. Yet, no matter how much effort he put in, his body wouldn't cooperate.
"Maybe I drank too much last night… Damn it," he groaned.
When he finally glanced around, confusion swept over him. The room was unfamiliar, unlike anything he'd ever seen.
"Where am I? Is this… a hospital?" he wondered aloud.
As fragments of memories from the previous night trickled back, he recalled walking along the road, only for everything to end in a flash of chaos.
"Wait… am I alive?" he asked himself, his voice trembling.
Suddenly, glowing text materialized in the air before his eyes.
{Welcome, host, to the Lothario System.}
His breath caught as he stared in disbelief.
"What the… What is this? Who's there? Can the air talk now? Am I hallucinating?" A torrent of questions raced through his mind.
Then, a voice rang out, interrupting his spiraling thoughts.
{I can hear your thoughts, so stop rambling. Maybe I've chosen the wrong host because this one seems like an idiot.}
"WHAT?! Who are you? And why are you in my head?" he demanded.
{You ask too many questions. To answer, you have been chosen by the Goddess of Love and Desire.}
The boy paused, his mind whirling.
"So… I died? Is that what this… this 'Lothario System' is trying to tell me?"
The voice chimed in again.
{Does the host want to initiate the startup process?}
He ignored the question, focusing instead on his surroundings.
"System, where am I?"
{You are on a planet called 'Huangshan.'}
Confused and overwhelmed, his thoughts drifted back to his life before waking up in this strange place.
Flashback
He was only six years old when tragedy struck. A car accident had taken the lives of his parents, leaving him an orphan with no relatives to turn to. Sent to an orphanage, life became a series of struggles.
Bullied relentlessly by the boys yet adored by the girls for his stunningly handsome face, he endured in silence, never fighting back. Lacking physical strength, he focused instead on his mind.
He was a prodigy, excelling in academics, particularly in computer science. His brilliance earned him a scholarship to the most prestigious high school in his city, renowned for its emphasis on technology.
Even there, he stood out. Not only was he the top student in his class, but his passion for computers also set him apart. After graduating, he was awarded another scholarship to the prestigious Hong Kong University of Technology.
It was during his time at university that he created a groundbreaking piece of software, a tool capable of accessing any computer system and bypassing even the most sophisticated encryptions.
The software sparked a bidding war among corporations, and the highest bidder finally acquired it. His name, Chang Feng, suddenly became synonymous with genius and success.
On the night of the auction, as he left with a newfound fortune, tragedy struck again. He was involved in a severe accident and rushed to the nearest hospital, where his life slipped away.
As he lay on his deathbed, regret consumed him—not for the success he achieved but for the personal connections he lacked. Despite his wealth, he had no one by his side, no family, no friends, and, most painfully, no romantic partner.
"I can't die a virgin," he thought desperately. "I was supposed to be rich, powerful, and surrounded by my harem! Goddess of Love, help me!"
Those were his final thoughts before everything faded into darkness.
End of Flashback
Now, as he stared at the glowing text floating before him, his mind reeled with questions and disbelief. Was this some kind of second chance? A bizarre twist of fate?
Whatever it was, one thing was clear—his new life was about to begin.
