Beyond Time: I’m Really Not Everyone’s Favorite

This book is also known as “I Asked You to Save the Male Lead, So How Did You End Up Taking Him and All His Love Interests for Yourself?” and “Yes, I’m Very Jealous of the Male Lead’s Fortunes.” [Original heroine + everyone’s favorite + mild coercion + all characters are virgins] For the sake of a trivial wish, Du Ruo decides to save the male lead as the System instructs. So she diligently goes around smashing the male lead’s regrets with her fists, upholding the highest standards of professional conduct: she absolutely refuses to be nice to him. No, she absolutely refuses to talk to him. Then, after raising a kid for two years, Du Ruo’s plan falls apart. Du Ruo: “Seriously, what’s wrong with him? How could he fall in love with me?” System: “Can’t be helped, Host. You’re just that popular.” Du Ruo looks at the “adorable” little A-Qing asking her to help him, then at the little snake draped over her, flicking its tongue. She cries out as she rushes away, only to end up right on top of some indescribable insect monster. Du Ruo: “Help… help!” Warnings: Canon couples are broken up, canon couples are broken up, canon couples are broken up. Don’t read if you don’t like that. I’ve only watched the anime. It’s probably a chaotic System story, medium-length (?), with a very obvious older woman-younger man romance (if that’s not your thing, you can leave; there’s probably a seven- or eight-year age gap. Morally speaking, Xu Qing is an adult, and judging by the original, he’s probably…). Lots of original worldbuilding, unserious wish fulfillment. The heroine is loved by everyone and everything. Includes original characters with deep bonds. The synopsis isn’t doing it justice, so go read the story. Don’t read if you don’t like it. The heroine isn’t strong.
