The first time Jiang Li felt disgusted with the System was when he learned it would issue missions that were "not recommended to be abandoned". By completing these missions, he could increase the other party's goodwill, treating women as mere playthings to be conquered, as it had him do with Empress Baize.
"Later, when the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Origin Dynasty saw that I had given up on being a Human Emperor Candidate, he was furious and threw me into the Cold Palace. When the Idle Person learned of this, he plotted in secret, with one step linking to the next, and used some unknown method to activate the Ruyi Gourd. He defeated the Crown Prince and the Heavenly Origin Emperor one after the other, rescued me, and made me the Heavenly Origin Empress."
The Yu Yin on Jiang Li's side had relied on the Ruyi Gourd herself to win the throne; there was no part about being thrown into the Cold Palace or Jiang Li helping her. What happened after that was similar to what Jiang Li knew. She cultivated diligently and worked conscientiously.
