"A Shared Delight" is a melodramatic novel that crams in every kind of over-the-top plot, and both its story and romance end in a mess.
As an intern at the transmigration-into-a-book bureau, Gu Ruying's job is to clear away every obstacle and fix the original novel's romantic storylines, so that several couples can enjoy happy romances and all the melodrama can be avoided.
After entering the book, Gu Ruying spent six months drawing up a plan. If everything went according to it, these painful romances could be nipped in the bud for good!
But can someone tell her what's going on with Wei Xiao, the male lead's younger brother?
He breaks up the male and female leads after she brings them together, hides the keepsake she carefully picked out for the second female lead, and interrupts the confession she arranged for the third male lead. This guy does nothing all day except sabotage these relationships.
Without exception, that lunatic has wrecked every one of her perfect plans.
Fine. He's like a spinning top that just begs to be whipped.
He needs a good beating.
Unable to take it anymore, Gu Ruying chose a dark, windy night to climb over the wall and leap into Wei Xiao's room. She drew her sword and pressed it against him by the window.
"Had too much salt and nothing better to do? When two people get together, they should just have a proper romance!"
Just as she finished speaking, a voice sounded in Gu Ruying's mind: [An unknown System has been detected nearby. Host, stay alert.]
Their eyes met. After a moment of silence, Gu Ruying asked, "You have a System too?"
-
Wei Xiao was bound to a System. His mission was to correct the novel's plot and get several couples to focus on their careers.
But there was always some lunatic getting in his way.
The female lead's scatterbrained, foolish younger sister was always meddling, somehow managing to butt in at every turn.
She brought back the female lead he'd lured away, retrieved the token of love between the second male and female leads that he'd hidden, helped the third male and female leads make heartfelt confessions, and played matchmaker for several couples with the enthusiasm of a professional go-between.
After she foiled his plans once again, Wei Xiao gave a cold laugh, murder in his heart.
This woman was a menace. She had to be eliminated completely.
Just as he was about to deal with her, Gu Ruying leapt into his room one night.
The System in Wei Xiao's mind issued a frantic warning: [An unknown System has been detected nearby. Host, stay alert.]
Wei Xiao narrowed his eyes.
Hah. So there were other people who had transmigrated into a book in this world?
[An absolutely adorable, lively sweetheart x a sunny, black-hearted man who dotes on his younger brother]
[The clash between a romance System and a career System.]
* A silly, lighthearted comedy.
* At first, the male and female leads are purely adversarial, each working toward their own KPIs. They must either break up or bring together three couples from the original novel.
Content warning: These three couples will feature plenty of melodramatic tropes, such as the groveling-after-a-breakup and coercive possession.
Theme: True love conquers all.
