The rating fluctuates between 3 and 4 due to inconsistencies in quality across different story arcs. The main character, Letian, can be seen as a version 2 of Chen Liguo, but with heightened shamelessness, lasciviousness, and cold-heartedness. Assigned a mission to match the female lead (FL) with a superior male lead, he懈怠于职责， aiming for a carefree existence, often resorting to seduction to get close to the ML. He故意挑衅 the ML's possessiveness, leading to situations where he is 'forced' into a relationship with the male lead, despite it appearing non-consensual to an outsider.

From the MC's perspective, however, these actions are entirely consensual, as he enjoys being confined and repeatedly taken advantage of. In some storylines, the readers may feel同情 for the male leads who fall for Letian, as he treats them primarily as tools. The source of conflict mainly lies in the MC's impending 'death' after seven days, which prevents him from living a full life in any world. Despite this serious backdrop, the narrative is often humorous due to Letian's unpredictable behavior, which lightens the mood and provides comic relief amidst potential angst.

Compared to darker novels like "Strategy to Capture That Scum Gong" or "Perfect Destiny," this story offers a more lighthearted read, as the protagonist doesn't have to adhere strictly to character traits in his thoughts. I stopped reading after the first eleven chapters, finding the repetitive theme of a possessive ML and heartless MC tiresome. I might revisit later to check for character growth.

I gave the story a 3.5 out of 5. The plot starts off strong, but unfortunately, it consistently revolves around the main character (MC) and love interest's (ML) fatherly relationship. The supporting characters lack depth and significance throughout the narrative. The heroine primarily serves as a plot device for the MC's departure, and it's almost always the MC who ends up betraying her, not the other way around. The MC comes across as aloof, despite seemingly having feelings for the ML. There's ambiguity about the MC recognizing the ML's true identity. My rating is higher due to my ability to read up to Chapter 203; afterward, I jumped back to the first chapter of each arc until the end. As for the ML, his character is inconsistent, oscillating between despicable and likable, but that doesn't excuse his problematic behavior.
