After finally snagging a lucky opening at Yingkang University, unlucky Yu Miao is told that she's not only a minor character, but also destined to die in a fire.
To stay alive, Yu Miao makes a deal with a System that doesn't look very reliable. From then on, she spends her life working for the worlds of novels like a corporate drone.
Her daily routine: helping the male and female leads get together, serving as their number-one shipper, encouraging the second male lead to bravely pursue love and handing him tissues, and, on top of that, doing everything she can to get close to Lu Li'an, the third male lead who seems likely to derail the plot.
"Win over" the mission target, or rather, seduce him. That's what the System calls it.
Yu Miao: Sigh! I'll just have to bite the bullet!
But can someone explain to her:
What do you mean the male lead of this book is a naive sweetheart, the second male lead is an evil rival, the female lead ends up with the second male lead, and the female side character has a crush on the male lead while also falling for his uncle?
Yu Miao: Huh? Is there even any plot left to derail...?
Luckily, her target, Lu Li'an, seems fairly normal. When Yu Miao gets sick, he brings her medicine. When she goes shopping, he pays. When she steals a seat, he cheers her on. When she curses someone, he hands her a knife...
Wait, a knife? Where did that come from?
Lu Li'an smiles, looking utterly harmless.
All in all, he's refined and gentle, and almost always gives Yu Miao whatever she wants.
If only his affection meter weren't stuck at zero.
Yu Miao: Just end it all. I might as well be the protagonist.
...Wait.
That's right. Why can't she be the protagonist?
Theme: No one is perfect
