The moment Chuchu opened her eyes, she found herself in a Mary Sue entertainment-industry novel as a vicious supporting character who wouldn’t survive three episodes. The System told her: complete the self-destructive villain missions and take home a hundred billion in prize money; fail three times in a row and die on the spot. She accepted her fate, rolled up her sleeves, and set out to do evil.
Tripping the heroine on the red carpet? She tripped her into uncovering a bomb beneath her dress, and the whole internet praised her as a hero who saved lives. Changing the male lead’s script against his will? She turned it into the year’s box-office champion, and the director begged her to become a producer. Stealing the heroine’s endorsement deal? The brand avoided a public scandal and tearfully renewed its contract for ten years. Every carefully planned act of villainy she carried out was automatically spun by this world’s underlying logic into a heroic act of kindness.
Even more absurdly, everyone she “harmed” would automatically come up with a deeply moving explanation for her behavior, then cry and plead to repay her. Her victims kept multiplying until their “Victims’ Alliance” was bigger than her fan club.
The System crashed: “Why is your evil score negative?!” Chuchu was even more distraught: “But I was clearly trying to get myself killed!” Was there something wrong with this world?! When she finally discovered why the laws of heaven favored her so much, the truth was far more shocking than she could have imagined…
