My System Demands a Doormat

Song Cun’s new life is hell. Reborn into a dirt-poor family, he’s starved, abused, and expected to slave away while his manipulative, sickly younger brother receives all the family's resources and love. Every meal is a battle, every task a burden for a family that sees him as nothing more than a disposable worker. Then, the \"Male Lead System\" appears, expecting him to follow a pre-written script: endure abuse, be a \"filial\" doormat, and eventually sever ties... after years of suffering. But Song Cun remembers a life of luxury and freedom. \"Filial piety? I call it idiocy!\" he scoffs, outright rejecting the System's ridiculous commands. With every defiant act, every 'face-slap' against his biased parents and the tyrannical System, Song Cun discovers his true path to power. But how far can he push before the System retaliates, or the plot itself tries to drag him back to his 'doormat' destiny?
