System – you got the gender wrong

Seventeen-year-old Xu Fuguang was bound to a system that had taken a wrong turn and landed on the wrong host, only to be told that his days were numbered and all the endurance he had practiced for the sake of treating his illness had been completely in vain. System: “Do you want to defeat your rivals and gain your parents’ love?” Xu Fuguang: “Can you cure my illness?” System: “Do you want to improve your social circle and make those who exclude you look up to you in vain?” Xu Fuguang: “Can you cure my illness?” System: “Do you want to shine brilliantly and find a sweet romance?” Xu Fuguang: “What the hell even are you? What use are you? Can you cure my illness or not?!” System: “I… I’m the ‘Goddess Development System’! I can make you devastatingly breathtaking and entrance all living beings!” “?” Straight as steel, Xu Fuguang—who used to dominate the basketball court and draw screams from female classmates before his condition flared up—turned and walked away without hesitation. System: “W-Wait! Don’t sweat the small details! Take a look at my rich prize pool!” Looking at the prize pool packed with a vast majority of packs like Jade Bones and Ice Skin, A Waist Slim as a Willow, and Eyes Unforgettable at First Sight, sprinkled with only a tiny fraction of Vigor Restoration and Gene Repair, Xu Fuguang clenched his fists tight. * To cure his illness, Xu Fuguang resolutely embarked on the point-of-no-return journey of prize draws. To that end, he rushed back and forth between system-assigned classes in French, German, calligraphy, painting, cello, pipe organ, equestrianism, posture training, ballet… grinding endlessly and taking academic tryharding to new heights. Meanwhile, he scoffed at the system’s attempts to persuade him into taking higher-yield shortcuts by farming favorability points. However, the drop rate for therapeutic items was agonizingly low. Every time he pulled Hair Like Clouds or Posture Class +1, Xu Fuguang’s mind utterly spiraled. Favorability? He wanted to murder the entire world! System: “Detecting that Host’s current behavior does not comply with Goddess Standards. Please correct it promptly~” Xu Fuguang, who finally had a burst of energy thanks to the short-acting elixir: Kill, kill, kill— He was going to lose his mind. Everyone can just go to hell! However— Helping up the illegitimate brother who had verbally provoked Xu Fuguang only to be sent flying with a single kick, the biological parents hesitated: “You should watch how you speak too. It’s not like you don’t know your brother’s temper.” Rolling up his sleeves at his old arch-nemesis, whom he used to beat half to death, the other guy shifted his gaze nervously: “It’s pretty cold today, don’t catch a chill…” Classmates of all genders, who usually carried their chins in the air, chimed in: “What do you mean ‘bad temper’? Our school beauty just has personality.” Xu Fuguang’s glare slowly shifted toward the last speaker: “What did you just call me?” A suspicious flush spread across the classmate’s face: “School prince! School prince! I misspoke! I’m sorry!” * Focused solely on getting cured, self-proclaimed straight male (Shou) vs. Initially aloof, later wildly fierce, self-proclaimed straight male (Gong) ———————— Content Warnings / Tropes Notice: Lots, lots, lots of tropes ahead—run while you can! Classic Retro Tropes: The “Goddess Development System” name says it all; factory settings are modeled after old-school web novels! Ultimate Mary Sue / Mass Attraction: Unrequited crushes from everyone regardless of gender. If you can’t stand it, run while you can! Over-the-Top Shou Charm: Very cheesy and dramatic. Run while you can! The protagonist is a brute! Plus, he feels his days are numbered, so his fists move faster than his reason! The protagonist is still young: He isn’t proactive about doing certain tasks—don’t expect him to play the long game just to survive! The protagonist firmly considers himself straight! This won’t change easily! The Gong and Shou seem to have a distant familial connection.
