可怜为师死得早

Although Xie Zhi’s acting career was in a slump, he still hated playing bit parts and rejected the role of a soy sauce (read: extremely minor) character in a web drama. Unexpectedly, he died and transmigrated into a novel to become the dead benefactor character who only shows up in the protagonist’s memories: Xie Zhiwei.

…hold on, isn’t this the same soy sauce character he refused to act?

To avoid repeating the same tragedy, Xie Zhiwei had no choice but to team up with the System to play (work) act (hard) at his part (death) .

System: The protagonist needs a teacher, so his shizun will be…

Xie Zhiwei: Leave it to me.

System: The protagonist needs to level up, so his helper will be…

Xie Zhiwei: Leave it to me.

System: The protagonist needs to blacken, so the villain will be…

Xie Zhiwei: Leave it to me.

System: The protagonist needs to fall in love, so the heroine will be…

Xie Zhiwei: @#$^! You, let me float away ethereally.

Mu He: Shizun, please fly into this disciple’s arms~.
