(Completed) Sci-fi + a light mystery at its core + a growth-focused heroine
Yun Chengxu spent twenty years living as the heroine of a sweet romance novel. She had a comfortable life and a happy family, and her daily routine consisted of reading, surfing the internet, and counting money.
It was only when the System appeared that she discovered that everything she had believed in for the past twenty years was a beautiful lie, carefully crafted just for her.
Testing the waters, fleeing, being pushed step by step into a corner: she rejects the fate laid out for her and breaks free of her cage, touching the sky for the first time.
In this cold, perilous world, she must climb to the very top, overthrow the false god, uncover the truth, and live for herself!
One-line pitch:
If life is no longer a sweet romance, then I'll make my own way back to the top!
Plot comes first, romance second. A sweet, cool-headed, independent heroine who grows into her own, Chengzi, paired with Xiaoliu, a black-hearted male lead who pretends to be good but is hopelessly love-struck.
Many thanks to everyone who reads and leaves a comment!
The protagonist's name comes from the phrase "Clouds like floss drift over a clear pool."
As always, aside from the romance, everything else in the author's books is excellent and logically sound.
