[Filler, fixed] Lin Ye is an ordinary overworked office worker who gets lucky when the System selects him and rewards him with ten million yuan.
The catch: he has to take in four heroines who escaped from tragic romance novels and help them survive in the real world.
The first is a top student from a school story. In the original novel, the yandere male lead trapped her at eighteen. Now, she quietly sits by the window reading and says, “I just want to get into a good university. I don’t need anyone’s permission.”
The second is the heroine of a period novel. After a lifetime of hardship, she can’t sit still, and when she sees me ordering takeout, she lectures me for ages. The first time she uses a washing machine, she watches the drum for ten minutes and asks, “Can this thing really wash clothes all by itself?”
The third is the heroine of a food novel. Her ex crushed her dreams, but she’s cheerful and always smiling, and never talks about the past. Only when she’s cooking does she hum, like a cat that’s finally found a home.
The fourth is the legitimate daughter from an ancient political intrigue novel. In the original story, she spent ten years as crown princess before the prince, newly enthroned, sent her off with a cup of poisoned wine. Here in the real world, she’s poised and graceful, learns incredibly fast, but can’t bring herself to trust anyone.
They escaped their respective cages and moved into the house I prepared for them in the real world.
I thought I was the one taking care of them.
Only later did I realize they were the ones who taught me what it means to live.
In a nutshell: Four heroines, hearts broken by tragic romance novels, escaped to my place and refuse to leave.
