**Also known as "Awakening Out of Control"**
(Rating request in the bottom right corner. Please note the content warnings below.)
Shi Qin was engrossed in a dark, apocalyptic harem novel where the male lead, Cheng Yu, embodied the ultimate tragic beauty—strong yet suffering, later evolving into a villainous protagonist bent on destroying the world.
Just as he was getting hooked, the novel got taken down in a censorship crackdown. Furious, Shi Qin vented his frustration—only to be kidnapped by a rogue system and thrown into the story with a mission: rewrite it.
To survive and escape, Shi Qin must fix the male lead’s character and plot: no world-destroying, no harem, and a strict adherence to monogamy.
But it’s harder than it sounds—especially since Shi Qin transmigrated as a zombie about to have his neck snapped by Cheng Yu!
**Question:** How does a zombie build a deep emotional bond with a zombie-slaying male lead, convince him the world is worth saving, stop his villainous turn, *and* prevent a harem?
**Shi Qin:** "Don’t worry, Cheng Yu! Even if everyone abandons you, I’ll stand by your side!" (*So please don’t turn evil!*)
**Cheng Yu:** "He’s so kind... Does he like me?"
**Shi Qin:** "A man’s heart should belong to *one* person. Cherish what’s in front of you!"
**Cheng Yu:** "Is he jealous? Is he hinting I should give my heart only to *him*?"
**Shi Qin:** "Let’s... build a better world together!"
*(Cheng Yu blushes.)*
Mission accomplished, Shi Qin prepares to leave—only for the system to drag him back when Cheng Yu, enraged by his "wife’s" disappearance, fully succumbs to darkness.
**Cheng Yu (smiling eerily, gripping Shi Qin’s neck):** "You’re back..."
**Shi Qin:** "CALM DOWN, PLEASE—"
**WARNING:** A blackened male lead is *extremely* dangerous.
