Novel description:

Su Yingli is a game designer who will stop at nothing to make players spend money. Recently, she created a new dating sim.

To pressure players into paying, her shameless tactics include, but are not limited to: twisting the male leads' personalities, deliberately getting players stuck, and making the male leads wander into each other's romance routes...

At last, players cursed her out so badly that she transmigrated into the game, where she discovered that this trash game... had really fallen apart because of her writing!!!

World One: What began as "A Pure Campus Romance Between an Icy Academic Genius and a Sweet, Failing Student" has turned into "I Use Cheats in a Game Just to Force the Campus Kingpin to Do Practice Exams."

Campus big shot A: I. Am. Not. Studying.

Su Yingli: Sure. I'll give you a debuff that makes you lose every fight if you don't study.

World Two: What began as "A Gorgeous Actress with Scandalous Rumors Is Healed by a Sweet Younger Idol" has turned into "My Dark, Possessive Idol Is Still Green-Tea-ing Me Today."

Green-tea puppy male lead B: Big sis, if you go on a date with me, won't my big brother get mad?

Su Yingli: Well...

World Three: What began as "A Frail, Beautiful CEO Insists on Doting on Me" has turned into "She Runs, He Chases, and Neither Can Escape."

CEO male lead C: Hah. You're playing hard to get again to get my attention.

Su Yingli: Should I just leave, then?

Not only have all the male leads' personalities completely collapsed, but a bug in the game she wrote has also fused the three worlds together. Every time she tries to win someone over, she gets trapped in a deadly love-triangle showdown.

Su Yingli remains as steady as ever: In a love-triangle showdown, the most important thing is keeping everyone happy. As long as I'm quick enough to smooth things over, I won't hurt any of them.

*

Recently, Su Yingli discovered a System even more shameless than she was. Whenever she gets caught in a love-triangle showdown, it throws a few ridiculous options at her.

One day, she was having dinner with CEO male lead C when campus heartthrob A and green-tea puppy B barged in.

Seeing her rivals face off, tensions rising, Su Yingli trembled with fear.

She was just about to show off her masterful people-pleasing skills when the System chimed:

[You awful game designer, what will you do when faced with a love-triangle showdown?]

A. Throw yourself into male lead A's arms and tell him through tears, "Your brother is a frail old man who's clearly useless. I prefer strong, strapping high school boys."

B. Kiss male lead B's puppy-dog eyes, pat his head, and say, "Quit show business. I'll steal these brothers' black cards and take care of you."

C. Rub your chin against male lead C's and say pitifully, "Your younger brother is pretty handsome too. How about..."

Su Yingli: ...Can I still apologize to the players by kowtowing a few times?

1. This is not an anthology. All the worlds share the same setting and timeline, and every world has a love-triangle showdown.

A pure comedy romance. It's seriously ridiculous, so just have fun and don't take it seriously.

2. Not a fragmented narrative. The ending is one-on-one.

3. Every chapter includes a little character skit in the author's notes, so the fun is doubled.

* Also known as "I Got Bound to a Forced Cheating System in a Dating Sim," "A Game Designer Will Never Know How Bad Her Game Is Until She Plays It Herself," and "If Players Say Your Game's Designer Is Terrible, You Should Fix It Instead of Talking Back to Them, Got It?"

"The Jilted Supporting Girl Switches to a Feel-Good Plot"

It'll be launching soon. If you're interested, please add it to your reading list!

Ye Huaning, the third young lady of the foremost cultivation family, was born with the destiny of a healer immortal. Pampered as she grew up, she was a heaven-blessed darling.

One day, she dreamed that she was a supporting female character in a wish-fulfillment novel written for men.

In the original story, she looked down on the male lead, a good-for-nothing without spiritual roots. She went to his home to bully and humiliate him and break off their engagement, becoming the biggest villain in the early chapters and the main target of a triumphant reversal and face-slapping later on.

Later, the male lead ascended as a sword immortal and forcibly took Ye Huaning as his first wife. The proud healer immortal had her spirit broken by him and became his personal nurse. The fabulously wealthy Ye family became his purse. Her father and brothers, who loved her most, were killed by his sword. When Ye Huaning fought back, he casually ran her through with a single thrust.

Ye Huaning jolted awake from her dream. It was the night before she was supposed to go to the Zhang family and break off her engagement.

The System was earnestly urging her to marry the chosen one, cling to him, and, if she pleased him enough in the future, perhaps she could rewrite the plot.

Who could have guessed that the next day, Ye Huaning would rip the Zhang family's gate right off, grab the chosen one by the collar, and beat him half to death, behaving even more brutally and viciously than she had in the original story?

"My fate is mine to decide, not Heaven's!"

This was the male lead's line after enduring countless humiliations in the original novel, and Ye Huaning loved it.

So she was going to be the protagonist instead.

*

After transmigrating into the book, the male lead was told that he would suffer a little in the early part of the story, but if he could just endure it, the later chapters would be an invincible power fantasy.

Ye Huaning beat him to a pulp and broke off their engagement. He endured it, because the Ye family would belong to him eventually.

Ye Huaning abandoned medicine for the sword and took his place as the sword sovereign's sole disciple. He endured it, because he had plenty of cheat abilities of his own.

Ye Huaning recruited all his female admirers. He endured it, because once he made it big, they would all come throwing themselves at him.

Ye Huaning awakened the ancient evil sword before he could. He endured it, because... because there were even more awesome spirit swords waiting for him... right?

The male lead endured and endured, only to discover that all he had to look forward to was getting beaten up every day by the invincible Ye Huaning.

So who's the male lead in this feel-good novel, anyway?!

*

In the original story, the most thrilling part was when the male lead ventured alone into the demon realm, survived countless brushes with death, and awakened the ancient evil sword with his life.

The spirit within the sword was Yazi, a dragon prince with an arrogant nature and a taste for slaughter. Even after the male lead made him his spirit sword, he never managed to tame him. Whenever a great battle loomed, he had to sweet-talk him into manifesting his power.

Amid the chaos of the demon realm, Ye Huaning suddenly remembered that scene. She looked at the young man sleeping on her lap. He was as beautiful as an immortal, glowing like jade beneath rosy clouds, and she couldn't sense a trace of bloodlust from him.

Unable to resist, she ran her fingers through his long hair. The boy leaned into her, rubbing his cheek against her palm.

The ancient evil sword really is so fierce.

[Reading Tips]

1. A strong female lead cultivation power fantasy with a leveling-up plot.

2. Spoiled, willful young lady x loyal, strongest sword spirit.
