The original character's family situation was much better than the female lead's, and they came from a well-off and well-connected scholarly family. However, she was a hopeless romantic who wasn't very discerning about people, which ultimately led to her miserable state.
[Host, you should have finished reading this novel by now, so in the coming days, you need to complete tasks while working to win over the male lead.]
[As for the tasks, we are the latest model system COOE130R6P, which will assign tasks to you at random times. You are required to spend the money given by the system within a set timeframe.]
"Spend money?" On hearing this, Yu Ting's inner complaints significantly subsided, and she found it hard to believe her ears.
[Yes, generally speaking, you need to spend at least one million yuan. If you don't manage to spend this amount within the given time, your credit score will be deducted. If you lose ten credit points, you will be erased by the system and will die completely.]
Upon hearing about the one million yuan, Yu Ting's cataracts brightened a few shades.
Is this the benefit of the virtues accumulated by her ancestors?!
She could reap such benefits even after death.
Who wouldn't know how to spend money?
[But bank transfers and donations to charities do not count. You need to spend money and get something tangible in return.]
"So, what's the deal with winning over the male lead?" Yu Ting asked another question after finishing the first.
Is she supposed to start from a supporting female character and work her way up to the top?
That sounds exhausting.
[Considering that the male and female leads are not a good match and it's too against reality, I hope you, the host, can change the situation and take the lead. The system will cheer for you.]
?
"So, are you saying this is just your personal opinion? There wouldn't be any punishment if I can't win the male lead?" Yu Ting lightened her powdered eyebrows and asked.
[No punishment. Considering that the supporting female character is not the male lead's ideal type, and moreover, you were a chef in your previous life, which might not necessarily help in winning over the male lead, it would be considered normal if you fail to get him. So, no punishment.]
Yu Ting:...
Why does she feel more annoyed rather than relieved?
"Oh, then I won't try to win the male lead." Yu Ting made a quick assertion.
Joking aside, if the male and female leads were so happy together in the end, let them continue to be happy!
It's none of her business.
She just wants to live her life peacefully.
[...]
Eventually, after the system explained everything it had to, it went quiet. Yu Ting returned to reality, sitting alone in the huge brain of the water moon.
After surveying her surroundings and enduring the stinging pain in her eyes, Yu Ting narrowed her gaze.
One day, she would get rid of all these things.
Ding.
A message popped up on the phone in her hand.
The text message displayed: Baby Yanyan
[Are you still awake?]
Yu Ting leaned back on her bed, looking at the message on her phone screen, her eyelashes, which were adorned with a 2cm long fake eyelash, fluttered.
The original character and the childhood friend got married as per the expectation of their three generations of families. The romantic original character was captivated by Lu Nanchen's appearance and readily agreed to the marriage. To not disturb the original character's university life, both the parents conducted an austere ceremony attended only by relatives. They planned to host a grand celebration once the original character graduated from university.
But before she could graduate, the original character had moved on from Lu Nanchen to fall for the male lead Shen Sheng, not long after their wedding.
Yu Ting recalled the initial storyline of the novel while sitting on her bed.
If she remembered correctly, the current Yu Ting had been married to her first husband Lu Nanchen for several months now. The plot had developed to where Yu Ting was threatening to die by sleeping pills to stop Lu Nanchen from teaching at her university. This was indeed the beginning of her tragic life.
