Synopsis

[No CP, no male lead; the heroine shines on her own]

Ling Yuan was bound to the [Villainess System]. On the first day, she declared, full of enthusiasm and fighting spirit, “Number 31! I’ll do a great job completing my missions!” System 031 was very pleased to see its Host so positive and motivated. It thought it had finally found a good Host who wouldn’t cause trouble.

But it soon realized something was wrong. The Host followed the plot perfectly, reciting the assigned lines and performing the specified actions, successfully playing a qualified villainess. So why did the male leads and supporting male characters, who were supposed to hate her, not only fail to dislike her, but even find her adorable?

Ling Yuan, brimming with confidence: “If he doesn’t have someone he likes or a girlfriend, why can’t I pursue him?”

The aloof award-winning actor nodded in agreement. “You’re right.”

Ling Yuan glanced disdainfully at the heroine. “You call that singing? Don’t tell me she’s just trying to be funny.”

The king of hit songs stood up and applauded, his eyes alight with enthusiasm. “Exactly! How could she compare to you?”

System 031: “…” Something is definitely wrong here, isn’t it?

After noticing the problem, System 031 pulled up the records and finally discovered that the culprit behind the plot going off the rails had been right in front of it all along

After all, who could have imagined that Ling Yuan, a dignified mermaid, would voluntarily bind herself to a System just to play at quick transmigration?!

Ling Yuan, looking docile: “I really was just trying to follow the plot properly and be a good villainess!” System 031: “…You should change jobs while you still can.”

*Cough* I hope the author will add a bit more eroticism, I love eroticism! And I felt the first world ended too abruptly, sob sob. There should be some eroticism for the female lead, *cough* or she should be in a dark room and unable to take it anymore, *cough* before she leaves.

The female lead's character is well-developed, and her background is quite appealing. The supporting characters are also well-developed and the plot is reasonably well-structured. However, I feel there's too much inner monologue in this book. Sometimes it could be omitted; replacing these monologues with concrete actions would make the book more vivid and engaging.

This book is fantastic! I hope it doesn't have a male lead! Of course, this is mainly based on the author's ideas. The writing style and the concept are both top-notch. I just don't know why so few people are reading it. This book is a strong female lead story, which I have to say it's exactly what I like. Please update more!

It's pretty good! I hope you can keep updating, and of course, all your other books too. I have absolute confidence in your writing skills (and your imagination, haha).

I actually really like it, but I don't feel like there are any satisfying moments in the second dimension. The author may be trying to build up excitement before letting it down, but it would be better if there were more subtle moments of enjoyment along the way, otherwise I really won't have the patience for it.

It's great! ❤❤❤ The female lead isn't a naive and innocent type; she's the kind of character who grows and matures. I really wanted to see the scene where she sings, hehehe, I missed the previous scene! Ugh!!

The female lead is incredibly popular and basically doesn't have to do anything; the male lead and supporting male characters just automatically come to her. If you like this kind of thing, you can watch it!
