After Winning Over My Family, I Decided to Give Up

Lin Jianqiu transmigrates into an angsty novel and becomes the short-lived beloved who won’t live past twenty.

The System says she can extend her life as long as her adoptive parents and the male lead’s affection for her reaches the maximum.

She thinks all she has to do is sit back and enjoy their love. But her adoptive mother can’t remember that she’s allergic to peanuts, her adoptive father hasn’t called her by name in ten years, and the male lead’s confession sounds like he’s reciting lines.

Even stranger, her affection score drops when she obediently plays the piano and dances, but shoots up when she wears dinosaur pajamas to a banquet.

After combing through the original owner’s diary, she discovers the truth: the family doesn’t love her at all. They love the perfect illusion in their own minds.

“Fine. If being the perfect daughter doesn’t earn me any points, then I’ll just be myself.”

Later, her adoptive mother smashes the piano, her adoptive father’s eyes turn red, and the male lead cries like a child outside her hospital room.

“Who are you, really?”

“Someone who doesn’t want to die: a drama queen.”
