After Sending the Wrong Love Letter [Period]

A quick ad at the start: please add my column to your favorites!

Xi Miao took a summer job running errands on a film set to scrape together her tuition before school started.

Then she had the misfortune of getting caught in a mudslide, only to inexplicably end up in another time and inexplicably get bound to a development System.

The System told her that the previous Host had failed the development mission. Not only had the target's growth path gone off track, but his girlfriend, who was crucial to his life, was now breaking up with him. The breakup itself wasn't the problem. The problem was that the girlfriend was a wealthy heiress with a hidden identity, out experiencing life, and after they split up, he wouldn't be able to use the resources behind her to reach the pinnacle of success.

Her mission was to get the target's growth back onto its predetermined path.

Xi Miao: "..."

Was this target following the plot of a man who married into a wealthy family and then turned his back on his benefactors?

"No way. I need someone to save me, too!"

She'd transmigrated and gotten a System, but she still had to earn her own money. What was the point of this useless System?

Xi Miao had been slogging away on her own for several days before the useless System finally told her she could claim her reward for completing the mission.

She'd only given in because she was desperate to make ends meet! Xi Miao told herself.

In the end, Xi Miao went to find the target the System had assigned her. The situation was a little chaotic, but at least she completed the mission.

It's just that... the target's... brother was acting stranger and stranger around her.

Xi Mingyu came with his friends to a neighboring college for a ball game.

He bought a lighter at the convenience store, found a corner, and lit a cigarette. He held it between his long fingers without smoking, letting it burn as he leaned against the wall and watched the school she had told him about.

Smoke curled around him, cloaking him in a gloom he couldn't shake.

Back then, she always thought he was too young to understand, but she had no idea that he took every word she said to heart.

"I'm out of food, so don't follow me anymore!"

The sudden warning dragged him back to many years ago.

Xi Mingyu froze for a few seconds, then jerked his head up, searching for the speaker. But all he saw was a kitten meowing on the lawn at the corner, with a freshly opened sausage by its paws. He straightened and hurried over, but there was nothing there. It was as if he had just dreamed it all again, another... beautiful dream with her in it.

Here is the blurb:

After Su Wantang found a job, her uncles and aunts suddenly started setting her up on a lot more dates. She figured she was old enough to start seeing someone suitable, so she went on a date after work every day. She had no idea how bad things could get until she started meeting one bizarre man after another.

Su Wantang decided to find someone herself, so she set her sights on the newly appointed team leader next door.

The new team leader lived in the staff compound and had a few friends she would probably never have met otherwise. Zhou Wu stood out the most, and his friends jokingly called him a catch.

Later, she discovered that not only was he a catch in looks, but his family background was also exceptional. He was a golden boy from the provincial government compound.

Her older sister said the matchmaker deity had blessed her, and Su Wantang thought so too.

Everyone said Zhou Wu was aloof, with an air that made him seem utterly unattainable.

Su Wantang was puzzled, because she found him warm and polite.

When she asked him what the team leader liked, he looked a little displeased, but still told her enthusiastically.

The night she accidentally gave Zhou Wu the love letter meant for someone else, she couldn't explain herself.

Before they got together, Su Wantang thought he was polite, had a respectable job, came from a good family, and was a university student. He was as respectable as could be, a perfect gentleman straight out of a book. In short, she was punching above her weight.

After they got together, Su Wantang tried to pull her hand free from the man's tight grip. Not only did she fail, but he held on even tighter. Ignoring the looks from passersby, she now thought he was not only clingy and domineering, but childish and shameless, too. There were some things she could never get him to budge on.

She felt a little embarrassed in public and quietly tried to reason with him. "Let's keep it low-key in public. Look, nobody else is holding hands."

"Other people are other people, and we're us. What's wrong with holding my own partner's hand?" He shot her a glance. "What, you won't let me hold your hand, but you're still thinking about that Xu guy?"

Su Wantang: "..." Fine, fine, hold my hand.

A man who gets jealous over nothing can be even more difficult to deal with than someone who's simply being unreasonable.
