1v1 / transmigrate into a book / changing a character / System / spoiled heroine / sweet romance / domineering CEO
Shi Yin transmigrates into a melodramatic angst novel as Rong Yu's wicked ex-girlfriend, a woman who makes trouble at every turn.
The original owner stole the heroine's opportunities and used a fake act of kindness to force Rong Yu into dating her. In the end, she got herself thrown into a crocodile pit in Southeast Asia.
When Shi Yin transmigrates, she's standing right at the starting line of that crocodile pit.
The System gives her a golden finger: at key moments, she can change one character in a line of dialogue.
The System tells her to say, "Rong Yu, let's break up."
What comes out is, "Rong Yu, let's hold hands."
The System tells her to say, "Let's get married."
What comes out is, "Let's become sworn brothers."
Change just one character, and the plot can veer away from certain death toward survival.
The problem is, something about Rong Yu seems off.
He should have been icy toward the original owner, but when she kissed him, he didn't pull away.
He should have followed the script to the end, but instead he investigates her, keeps an eye on her, and holds her under his watchful gaze.
The previous ninety-nine transmigrators all failed.
The System says it's because the male lead awakened later on and broke free of his settings.
Shi Yin: ?
"So now I have to follow the plot while making sure the male lead doesn't realize I'm not the person I used to be?"
[Yes.]
She thought this was a game of survival. Only later did she realize it was a game of cat and mouse.
She runs. He watches.
She thinks she's acting, but he's known the truth for ages.
He gives nothing away, simply waiting for her to slip up.
Or waiting for her to come to his side.
