The female lead is casually unhinged and a little absurd; the male lead is sunny and cheerful, and a little narcissistic.
You Wushan is an unlucky college graduate with no job prospects. To create a little bit of textual garbage for this godforsaken world, she resolutely picks up her keyboard and becomes a newbie author who has dipped half a foot into the web-novel world.
After several books in a row flop, You Wushan covers her face and laughs bitterly, reflecting that she really hasn't forgotten her "original intention": making garbage.
What should she do now? Jobs are hard to find, and you can't live on cold wind. Faced with the choice of praying at a temple or striving to make something of herself, You Wushan chooses to take a nap. After all, anything is possible in a dream.
Before she sleeps, she can give her brain a little material to dream about: she imagines a rich System showing up to send her to strange worlds to act, after which she'll return to a life of luxury.
The good news is that half of her wish comes true.
There is no rich System, but she does end up in the world of one of her own books. Oh, that over-the-top CEO romance that flopped harder than any of her others. She wrote it so embarrassingly badly that her own shame made her forget what was in it.
But why isn't she getting a reward for completing missions in this world?
The mean and broke System says, "Because this is your punishment, you piece-of-garbage author."
You Wushan: "Huh?"
"Just look at the world you designed. You didn't label your bad ending as a bad ending, the male lead's actions make no sense, and even though he has everything going for him, he suddenly chooses to end his life. Hurry up and fix the plot, or I'll curse you to stay poor forever!"
After a string of cursing and grumbling, the System leaves.
You Wushan grits her teeth. She's been poor and lazy her whole life, but no one's ever mocked her like this. She's furious!
Her anger burns even hotter when the male lead, completely lacking in tact, picks a fight with her.
The male lead Li Yi, still just a little kid: "Little Wushan, you're so pretty, like a lazy little kitten."
You Wushan: "Kitten my foot. Don't I have a name? I'll call you Little Rat. Do you have a problem with that?"
Li Yi looks at her innocently. "...I guess not."
You Wushan frowns. There's not a trace of gloom in this male lead. How did she come up with his ending back then? Sigh, the taste of failure and embarrassment makes her furious. She's selectively forgotten it, only for the boomerang to come right back and hit her.
Reader advisory
1. The female lead starts changing the plot from the beginning, when the male lead is still a child, so they become childhood friends and a bickering couple.
2. The story begins in elementary school, and there is a substantial amount of friendship-focused content before the leads realize their feelings. If that's not your thing, this may not be for you.
3. HE
Theme: Strive to live well
