System notice: You are only here to save the male lead, not fall in love with him.
System notice: The male lead's mood can affect this world.
"Then what am I supposed to do?" a certain woman asked in despair.
A certain System replied, "I have no idea either. As long as you complete the mission, do whatever you want."
System notice: You can't kiss him anymore. One more kiss and you'll fall in love.
The woman clutched her fluttering heart and painfully pushed away the sickly, beautiful man.
"I've only met him once. How could I possibly love him this much?" she wondered, unable to believe it.
Of course it's because you were in love before, but I didn't approve, so I deleted the part where you fell in love.
The woman got angry. Just a little.
In this dramatic book world, she came to deeply understand what it meant to have no control over her own fate, to love without being loved in return, and to be caught in an utterly absurd mess.
The male lead was kept alive by the System solely to maintain the world, and she was just a cannon-fodder heroine the System had brought in for the same reason.
She gradually grew weary and gave in.
She painfully gave up the sickly, beautiful man and returned to the real world.
But how could he allow that to happen? So he defied fate, using his madness to turn himself from a paper character into a real person in the real world.
When she found out, she cheered for him, cried out in amazement, and thought he was absolutely incredible.
The System raised a white flag and admitted defeat. From now on, they were in charge, and it would play the cannon fodder.
See? Love can overcome anything, can't it?
