The System Activated Because I Was Too Cowardly

share time: 2026-01-07 06:12:03

Lin Xiaoyu, an office drone, is the company's well-known pushover — colleagues steal his credit, his boss shifts blame to him, even the downstairs cat scratches him, and he never dares to resist. Until one day, his phone pops up a "Cowardice Level Exceeded" alert: a hidden system activated forcefully because it couldn't stand his cowardice! The system gives him a 72-hour deadline: he must complete three "stand up" tasks (confront the credit-stealing colleague, refuse unreasonable overtime, yell at the seat-stealing uncle) — or be devoured by "cowardice energy" and become invisible forever. Lin Xiaoyu panics: having endured everything since childhood, he's now forced to say "no" to those who bully him for the first time, and every step shakes like a sieve — will confronting his colleague cost him his job? Will refusing his boss get him fired? Worse, the system livestreams his "stand up progress," and even his secret crush is watching... Can he break through his "cowardly shell" and become a person with edges?
