Among the seven candidates, the first one is Liu Jun, the original male lead, the possessive over bearing , you're either mine or dead mindset guy was surprisingly received the highest number of votes from readers, these readers must be crazy!
The second candidate, known as Azurenights, is a writer who happens to be a colleague and a big fan of the ghost girl that possessed Lin Qing's body. Lin Qing recalls that this ghost girl (let's call her ghostie from now on ) had copied numerous books from her original world, achieving great success and garnering a substantial fan base with her unique science fiction novels.
The third candidate is Tang Chenghuan, her brother's assistant. He perfectly embodies the role of a supportive and helpful male lead.
As for the fourth candidate, he is a director whom the ghostie previously collaborated with when one of ghostie's books was adapted into a highly successful blockbuster movie.
The remaining three candidates are the Su brothers.
Upon seeing the list, Lin Qing couldn't help but feel furious. "So I can only choose from her leftovers," she exclaimed in frustration.
The system felt embarrassed about the fact that Lin Qing had to choose from seven candidates.
"I will never choose the original male lead, even if the world collapses. He should be grateful that I'm not plotting his murder! Cross his information off the list," Lin Qing declared.
Understanding her anger towards Liu Jun, the male lead, the system immediately agreed. "I'm sorry, host. I won't add his name. Please don't be angry. All the candidates are from the vote pool, and it's beyond my control."
Lin Qing was frustrated that she couldn't even choose her future spouse herself, but had to select from the remaining six candidates. However, since her family and the Su family had a betrothal promise, she decided to start getting to know the Su family candidates first.
"Is there a time limit for this?" Lin Qing wondered, but the system didn't respond.
Before she could ask more questions, someone knocked on her door. "QingQing, did you wake up?"
Hearing her mother's voice, warmth filled Lin Qing's heart. "I just woke up, mommy."
Mother Lin entered the room with a sweet, doting smile on her face, though her voice carried a stern tone. "Today is your graduation ceremony in the afternoon. It's already 8 a.m., so if you don't hurry and get washed up and have breakfast, we'll be late. How did I raise such a lazy girl?" Despite her complaints, she looked at Lin Qing with gentle eyes.
"Okay, mommy, I'll wash up right away."
"Hmph, the stylist and makeup artist will arrive at 10 a.m. If you don't want to go to the ceremony in your pajamas, you better hurry," her mother warned before leaving.
Lin Qing took a nice, warm bath and dressed casually, knowing that the stylist would bring her clothes. She only applied moisturizer and sunscreen to her face, skipping makeup, and headed to the dining table.
Her father and brother were already seated.
Her brother complained, "We woke up earlier than you and took the day off. If no one knew, they would think it's us graduating. Tsk!"
Despite his complaints, her brother still had a doting look on his face and waited patiently without touching his breakfast. Her father glanced at her but didn't say anything, engrossed in checking the news on his phone.
Knowing that her family loved her, Lin Qing sheepishly smiled, "Morning, Dad."
Her dad muttered, "You still know it's morning. Quickly have your breakfast and leave early, lest we encounter something on the way."
