Yu Bingrong, a woman immune to romance, gets dragged into a cyber romance game.
After the System sets her up, she ends up owing two million in real life. To pay it off, she has no choice but to clear the game's levels.
The System throws her into all kinds of Mary Sue plots, with her identity and mission decided by a random draw.
A runaway bride with a baby, a fishmonger at the market, an overbearing CEO with eight-pack abs, a beloved first love returning from abroad... She becomes either a protagonist or a side character, always playing a part in driving the romance forward.
But Yu Bingrong is hardly a player who follows the rules.
The System tells her to pursue the male lead, so she ties him up and forces him to agree to her courtship.
Huh? How can a forcibly twisted melon not count as a melon?
Unexpectedly, the male lead won't give in. He ignores the dagger at his throat and even reminds her to keep her hand steady.
She keeps stumbling over this equally shape-shifting "male lead," growing so furious she could grind her teeth. How could an NPC be such a nuisance?
It isn't until she runs into the "male lead" in real life that she realizes the truth: You Ren isn't an NPC, but a player!
She rushes over and grabs his expensive shirt, which he probably bought with the money he won from her: "Stop! Give me my money back!"

Forced by his mother to watch idol dramas as a child, You Ren grew to hate old-school Mary Sue tropes, but knows them inside out.
When he accidentally gets caught up in a romance game and is assigned all sorts of bizarre tasks, he adapts surprisingly well, playing the part of a capable plot-driving tool character.
Just hold your nose and earn the money. Nothing shameful about that!
But it doesn't last. The female player who always clashed with him in the game suddenly appears in real life, swaggering up to challenge him.
You Ren scoffs. "I've never seen anyone beg so brazenly."
"Want your money? Fine! Win it back in the game!"
Much later, the two of them are sent into a space they can't leave unless they fall in love.
After spouting a bunch of nonsensical sweet talk to appease the System, You Ren confidently opens the exit door. When it doesn't budge, he instinctively turns to look at her, his gaze sharp.
Yu Bingrong puts on an innocent face. "Why are you glaring at me?"
Theme: Is romantic love a scam?
It feels quite interesting, a game player bumps into a B game player in the corner 🐶 Can I stock up on [glasses]?
I accidentally clicked on the wrong one and got them all... Haha, but it's quite interesting. The interaction between Sister Bing and Brother You who hate Hai Qingtian is quite interesting. But uh, Sister Bing's IQ seems to be a little bit? The first time I saw Brother You running up to claim compensation in real life, I slowly asked a question? I'm still thinking about this later. Isn't it a matter of claiming compensation... Aren't all players competing fairly? The other party has absolutely no reason to compensate. And since he also plays games, it means he also owes money. How do you think that when you both owe money, it would be a bit too funny to ask a person in the same situation as you to claim compensation because he won your money. Haha, no wonder you can be selected among so many people. Maybe these idiotic stories are suitable for you, Sister Bing, haha [Hope]
