After I Dumped My Ex, I Asked to Marry Him

[System + esports; the supporting female character awakens] [Highly intelligent heroine who's a little slow to catch on × quiet, slightly arrogant esports superstar] The Wen and Xie families had been close for generations, so their elders arranged a betrothal for their children when they were born. Xie Yunci was handsome and excelled in his studies. Wen Zhili had followed in his footsteps ever since she was born, always keeping pace with him. She thought they were made for each other, and that he would remain by her side year after year, just as he was now. Until, during the Christmas of her freshman year, Xie Yunci got together with her best friend. Feeling betrayed, Wen Zhili chose to go abroad at the start of her sophomore year. When she returned to China after graduating, she was unexpectedly bound to a System called 611. It claimed she was the vicious supporting female character in a romance novel, destined to sabotage the relationship between the hero and heroine. Since she had deliberately deviated from the plot, the System was going to force her back onto the prescribed path. To avoid following the original plot and take control of her own fate, Wen Zhili had no choice but to complete the tasks assigned by the System. The task was to max out the affection of her ex-boyfriend, Xie Jichu, who had been by her side through that darkest period of her life, only for her to treat him badly. Though she found the whole thing absurd, Wen Zhili couldn't help feeling guilty. She took the initiative and asked to change the task to maxing out her own affection for Xie Jichu. By the time she returned to China, the shy boy she'd known had become an unstoppable top-tier star in the esports world. Sometimes life takes the most unexpected turns. She never thought the person she'd once been certain was wrong for her would share all the ordinary days and festivities of the years to come. Nor did she imagine that the person who had let go so early would call her while drunk, pleading: “Can our engagement still stand?”
