Lin You has always lived inside other people's stories.
To complete the System's "extra performance targets," she is pushed out to take the blame and endure humiliation. In every earth-shaking love story, she plays the cheapest and most lowly sacrificial victim.
The System says that if she can earn enough points, she can bring her sick family member back from the brink.
Once, the System assigned her the task of finding Lu Zhouyan, the future overbearing CEO.
Lin You carried out her task diligently and brought back a man.
He was tall, with striking features and a truly beautiful face, clearly the face of a male lead. He was pale and a little vacant, which also fit the description of someone who had just suffered a major upheaval.
But after picking him up, she went straight to getting a marriage license.
Of course, the System knew she had picked up the wrong person. But this man wasn't an important character in any story. In short, he was a beautiful good-for-nothing, no threat at all, so the heroine was allowed to adopt him.
After they married, Lin You found that her extra tasks were going very smoothly. The malicious treatment and emotional harm that might once have come from her actions had inexplicably decreased.
Until one day, the System ordered her to drug some aloof beauty. Her husband walked up to her and said calmly, "Do you need to mate? I can do that too."
The System urged Lin You to hurry, but before it could finish speaking, it suddenly began screaming errors: [Warning! Unknown source of contamination detected. Target cannot be defined and cannot be purged!]
The screams cut off abruptly, and the System fell silent. Lin You watched her usually gentle husband lightly roll something between his fingertips and scoff. "What a noisy bug."
**
Lu Zhouyan wasn't his real name, but since that was what his wife called him, then Lu Zhouyan he was.
He fell from beyond the sky screen. Those ants always called him "It."
For the first time, It learned what it meant to covet someone. So It tucked away claws capable of destroying civilizations, learned to behave like a human, put on an apron, and restrained the instinctive urge to meld his wife into his very bones.
It had observed that his wife wasn't good at resisting. Every time she was pushed out to take the blame, she would instinctively draw in her shoulders. Every time she finished doing dirty work that wasn't hers, she would hide with red eyes and could barely eat.
His wife was soft and helpless, easily hurt. She gained nothing at all, yet always suffered on behalf of others. Even the slightest embarrassment would make her eyes turn red.
It didn't like that.
More precisely, It couldn't tolerate it.
His wife could only wear that expression, as if she were about to shatter, in front of him.
So anything that made her suffer would be devoured by It, bones and marrow alike.
