I was bound to a passionate love system with the Movie King. We must be inseparable every day, or we’ll face punishment.

But we’re both men! And… he’s my ex-boyfriend.

I’ve dumped him twice. Haha. I don’t want to live anymore.

---

[Warning: The hugging task has 30 seconds remaining. If the host fails, they will suffer a thousand cuts.]

I shot out of bed, didn’t even have time to put on clothes, and stumbled out of the room.

At the same time, the door to the bedroom next door opened.

Lu Guanlan rushed out, hair disheveled, wearing slippers, and ran toward me.

His bathrobe belt had come loose.

In the cold mechanical countdown of “Three, two, one,” our two warm bodies collided with a “thud.”

[Congratulations, task completed!]

We both let out a long sigh, let go, exchanged a glance, and shared a deep sense of awkwardness.

Lu Guanlan, the Movie King, frowned in disgust.

“Han Congyu, can you wear clothes when you sleep from now on?”

Yawning, I replied casually, “Next time, next time.”

As soon as I turned around, I rolled my eyes.

The habit of sleeping naked was something I picked up ten years ago when we were dating.

Back then, Lu Guanlan would cry every night, begging me to take my clothes off.

Now, all I did was hug him shirtless, and he’s already being picky.

Hmph, men.

---

I went back to my room to get dressed while Lu Guanlan tightened his robe and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

Thanks to this cursed system, I’ve ended up living together with my ex-boyfriend again after ten years apart.

We have to hold hands, hug, and give each other goodnight kisses every day.

We also have to eat together, take walks together, and cuddle on the couch to watch movies.

It’s unbearable.

Even when we were 20, we weren’t this clingy.

After we finished getting ready, the system’s voice rang again.

[New task: The husband makes a loving breakfast.]

Lu Guanlan and I exchanged a glance.

At the same time, we both bolted.

In an instant, I grabbed the handle of the frying pan, but Lu Guanlan bumped me aside with his hip.

He lit the stove with one hand while cracking eggs with the other.

With two “cracks,” heart-shaped fried eggs sizzled in the pan.

Lu Guanlan glanced over his shoulder with a smug smile.

I lost…

I didn’t even win the title of “husband.”

I gritted my teeth in frustration and snorted coldly.

“Tch, I’ll let you have it.”

“After all, you’re the younger one.”

Lu Guanlan’s face immediately darkened.

“You’re only older by one day.”

I raised my eyebrows.

“So what?

“One day, one hour, one second.
“The older brother is always the older brother.”

I turned away arrogantly, but just then, a “ding” sounded in my head.

[Bonus task: While the husband is cooking, the wife must hug him from behind.]

[And be coy, causing trouble, until the husband picks you up and kisses you on the kitchen counter, even if it means burning breakfast.]

“…”

What kind of system is this?

It’s ridiculously mischievous!

---

Lu Guanlan, now dressed in a shirt and pants, had a tidy hairstyle and an air of reserved male godliness. Why is he so properly dressed even at home? Is he crazy?

Looking at his upright back, I hesitated, feeling a bit shy.
[Warning: Refusing the task will result in immediate bone fractures.]

What the—? So harsh?

I immediately lunged forward and hugged Lu Guanlan tightly around the waist.

He froze, then looked back at me.

“What are you doing?”

“Bonus task. Help me out.”

Lu Guanlan smirked.

“Beg me.”

…This jerk.

I took a deep breath. “I’ll do your laundry this week.”

“Deal.” Lu Guanlan wiped his hands. “What’s the task?”

Expressionless, I pointed at the spotless kitchen island.

“Lift me up. Kiss me.”

“…”

Lu Guanlan blinked, then obediently followed suit.

The marble countertop was so cold it chilled my behind, so Lu Guanlan put one hand under me.

His other hand cupped the back of my head as he squeezed between my legs, leaning closer.

His eyelashes, long like the tail feathers of a goldfinch, fluttered down.

I couldn’t help but close my eyes, swallowing nervously.

In broad daylight, this is really embarrassing.

His minty-fresh kiss brushed my lips briefly before he pulled away.

Now he decides to be polite.

Just as he was about to back off, I grabbed his shirt collar.

“That was too quick. Kiss me again.”

The eggs aren’t burned yet.

Lu Guanlan’s gaze darkened, and the next kiss was much more intense.

Minutes passed, but I still didn’t smell anything burning.

This stubborn fried egg!

After another ten minutes, I couldn’t take it anymore and pushed him away.

“Let’s take a break and fight again later.”

“Again?” Lu Guanlan looked at me with a complicated expression. “Are you… really that unsatisfied?”

“…”

I glared at him.

“The system demands it. The task isn’t complete until breakfast is burned.”

I frowned and looked at the stove.

“What kind of egg did you fry? By now, even steel should have melted.”

Lu Guanlan replied casually, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?

“I turned off the gas just now.”

“…”

This guy… did it on purpose, didn’t he?

---

If it weren’t for knowing the bonus tasks are only audible to me, I would have punched him twice.

Middle-aged couples kissing once would give them nightmares for days. Let alone us, who have broken up twice.

As soon as the task was completed, Lu Guanlan rushed into the bathroom and took a shower before coming out.

Was it that disgusting to kiss me?

Furious, I finished eating the burnt eggs, called my driver, and asked him to take me to the set for a variety show.

I’ve been doing variety shows for years, and I recently joined a horror-themed escape room live broadcast.

Even though I’m easily scared, the pay is too good to pass up. I’ll go even if it kills me.

Besides, I get to be away from Lu Guanlan for a whole day.

This cursed system has been binding us for more than half a month, and being inseparable from my ex every day is truly terrifying.

Just as I hung up, a glass of milk appeared in front of me.

Lu Guanlan said, “I’m heading in the same direction. I’ll hitch a ride with you.”

As I took the milk, my hand brushed against his, cold as ice.

Why is he taking cold showers? “Sorry, no room.”

Holding a grudge, I deliberately wiped the spot where he touched me with a napkin in disdain.

Then I said casually, “Mr. Lu, you should take warmer showers from now on.”

Lu Guanlan raised an eyebrow, his gaze unreadable.

I couldn’t make sense of his look, so I patted his shoulder with a sincere expression.

“After all, you’re not getting any younger. Take care of yourself.”

Lu Guanlan chuckled softly. “Mr. Han, perhaps you should take care of yourself first.

“After all, at 20, your back wasn’t great. You couldn’t handle many positions.”

Translator’s Note: “Movie King” and Film Emperor is just the same but I will used “Movie King”
