"Some people say I have a bad personality? I admit it."

"But compared to those 'gentlemen' who cram a bunch of data into players' fancy packaging, at least I'm honest—"

"My game will torture you, and then you'll come to love that torture."

Jiang Chen transmigrated to a parallel world where games were scarce, filled only with the same old "XX Legend". A programmer laid off in his previous life, he was now bound to the [Emotional Game System]: collecting players' emotions (100% negative value) to exchange for complete game blueprints for Earth.

Thus, he became the "devil designer" that players both loved and hated. First, he released the torturous "If You're a Man, Go Down 100 Floors" to reap negative emotions, then he countered with the free "Plants vs. Zombies" to subvert the industry. Players complained that "every masterpiece he releases is followed by a 'torture' game."

League of Legends ignited esports for all, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice broke the silence of streamers across the internet, and Minecraft empowered creativity. He insists on free-to-play online games, offering single-player games at rock-bottom prices in China and double the price in overseas regions, and refuses all capital investment: "They just want to build ATMs, but I want ATMs to experience the thrill."

The world thought he was just a fun-loving person, unaware that every night he paid tribute to Earth's game galaxy within the system. Every bit of negative emotion he collected ultimately transformed into a vast gift from another universe, offered to this desolate world.

"Happiness that comes too easily is like sugar water; it's sweet and then forgotten. The happiness that comes after conquering pain is like wine; it lingers in your bones." — Jiang Chen

Cheng Sheng accepted the memory of his other self, carried a historical film simulation panel, entered the entertainment industry, and became a historical film director.

Liu Tianxian: "Can I win Best Actress for a historical film? Director, take me with you, I want to play Mulan!"

Yang Chen: "Director Cheng, do you think I'm suitable for making historical films?"

Fan Shuangbing: "Director, leave Wu Zetian to me."

Cheng Sheng: "Go study history."

The historical film competed for the three major European awards, winning Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Picture, and broke box office records.
