[No one is normal + happy ending + both leads are each other's first and only + unrestrained writing, don't blame the author if it's not your thing + the System is barely present, don't make me get on my knees and beg you]
Every novel has a second male lead readers can't help rooting for.
In the sweet romance novel Yue Chang transmigrates into, Crown Prince Qi Yu is the tragic second male lead, destined to guard his love for his unattainable sweetheart for ten years and spend the rest of his life alone.
Yue Chang is now the lovesick fool from the book, a universally despised cannon-fodder character who dies before the main story even begins.
“...Just let me die.” She lies flat.
Ding! The System is online. If Yue Chang changes the second male lead's fate of lifelong loneliness, she can be reborn, get a healthy body, and collect five hundred million.
Yue Chang sits bolt upright. “I'm in!”
Since he's destined to be alone, she'll play matchmaker and make sure he has two kids in three years, then die smiling!
So Yue Chang arranges chance meetings in the rain, romantic encounters, and heroic rescues...
She exhausts every matchmaking trick, working diligently to find Qi Yu a happy marriage.
But he remains gentle and distant, his eyes betraying no emotion.
Yue Chang can't figure it out and gradually gives up trying.
She doesn't notice Qi Yu's gaze growing darker, his determination to claim her unmistakable.
…
Then one day, an imperial decree arrives, and she becomes the Crown Princess.
Yue Chang hesitates. “This can't be right, can it?”
Qi Yu bends down and picks up the shawl slipping from her shoulders, his expression unchanged.
“An imperial decree cannot be disobeyed.”
Year after year passes.
Qi Yu ascends the throne, and she makes her way from the Eastern Palace to the empress's throne.
Yue Chang throws up her hands. “This is definitely wrong!”
Qi Yu leads her into Fengming Palace, a knowing smile hidden in his eyes.
“It's Heaven's will.”
…
Qi Yu says, “Heaven decreed that I would spend my life alone, never knowing that from the day I first saw you, the bright moon had already settled in my arms, never to set again.”

It's a very good book, why didn't I write it all of a sudden? There are still a lot of holes that haven't been filled, big, big, hungry, hungry
