[The author is quietly stockpiling chapters~]
It is well known that in male-oriented power fantasies, the male lead always has a vain ex-girlfriend who becomes his first target for a comeback and some face-slapping.
These ex-girlfriends are usually foolish, unable to recognize a treasure when they see one, and obsessed with money. They dump the down-and-out male lead early on to attach themselves to a rich heir.
They are the kind of characters readers demand be thoroughly punished.
And Yun Wenning is that "ex-girlfriend."
*
Yun Wenning is reborn one day and realizes that her world is nothing more than a novel.
The protagonist is her childhood friend and ex-boyfriend, Ji Yan. She is merely a vicious supporting character.
By a stroke of luck, she is reborn on the day she and Ji Yan break up, and awakens the ability to see the protagonist's fortune.
As long as she touches Ji Yan, she can absorb his fortune.
So, after breaking up with him, Wenning immediately clings to Ji Yan, who is still sulking.
She wants the protagonist's fortune, too.
Why not turn a male-oriented power fantasy into one for women?
*
After his ex-girlfriend dumps him, Ji Yan comes down with a high fever, vomits, and passes out.
When he wakes, he is bound to the "Never Look Down on a Poor Young Man Comeback System."
The first thing Ji Yan asks after binding to the Comeback System is, "How much does Yun Wenning like me?"
The System sticks up for him. "Only 59. That's not even enough to count as a friend. Yun Wenning is such a terrible woman!"
Ji Yan is silent for a long time. "Then how much do I like her?"
The System eagerly checks, then its electronic eyes go dark when it sees the number. "It's actually 100!"
The System looks at the Host it carefully selected and senses trouble.
"Wait, Host, you... you're not one of those hopeless romantics, are you?!"
*
After Yun Wenning abandons Ji Yan once again, he finally decides to forget her.
Even when the apocalypse arrives, Yun Wenning still doesn't need him.
...Yun Wenning will never love him.
The Comeback System watches Ji Yan drink the Forgetting Potion he bought with everything he owns and gleefully sets off a digital fireworks display.
But then it realizes it celebrated too soon.
The amnesiac Ji Yan becomes distracted and restless after seeing Yun Wenning.
"System, how much does Yun Wenning like me?"
The Comeback System (spitting blood): ...All that Forgetting Potion for nothing!
Ji Yan gradually remembers his past with Yun Wenning.
It turns out that even with his memories gone, he still falls in love with her all over again at first sight.
"System, do I have enough points left to buy a love curse?"
He loves Wenning. If he can't have her, he'll take her anyway.
System: Host, you look an awful lot like the villain right now (shocked face.jpg)
ps:
The female lead is gorgeous and universally adored. The male lead suffers emotionally and physically. Even with the apocalypse underway, he's still obsessing over romance, an absolute hopeless romantic.
Theme: Loving you is an addiction I can't kick.
