[After becoming a cannon-fodder character who wouldn't leave him alone, I dumped the domineering CEO]
Lin Wan died suddenly, then woke up as a cannon-fodder character with the same name in a CEO romance novel. She had gone mad chasing the male lead and would eventually go bankrupt and die a miserable death.
System: “Follow the plot and win over Gu Yanchen, or you'll die a second time.”
Lin Wan looked at the domineering CEO before her, whose eyes were as cold as ice and who'd opened with, “Woman, you've caught my attention.” She silently raised her middle finger. Win him over? She'd rather die again.
At the scene where the original plot had her confessing her love in public, she sneered. “I was blind before, mistaking trash for treasure. Mr. Gu, we're even. Don't make me look at you.”
Gu Yanchen: ???
He sent her roses; she donated them to the ladies in the square-dancing group. He threatened to “tame” her; she snatched a three-hundred-million-yuan project from him. He tried to pressure her with his family's influence; she sent evidence of his tax evasion to the tax bureau.
The same Mr. Gu who'd once said, “I wouldn't want Lin Wan even if she were handed to me,” later showed up red-eyed outside her office. “Wanwan, I was wrong. Give me another chance.”
Lin Wan held a lollipop in her mouth and directed the movers. “Mr. Gu, step aside. You're in the way of me making money.”
The System shrieked, “The male lead's affection is at 99! Close the deal!”
Lin Wan rolled her eyes. “What deal? Isn't making money better? A domineering CEO? Even a dog wouldn't want him.”
Becoming a cannon-fodder character isn't the scary part. The scary part is having a brain full of love. Ditch the CEO and build a career: that's the right path in life!
