The Plain Jane of the Nineties Binds the Glory-Bringer System

Gu Le Ci thought she was an utterly ordinary high school senior. One day, she woke up and discovered that she was the cannon-fodder mother of the male lead in a book, who had died at eighteen.

She promptly cut off this ill-fated connection, but became trapped in a world that kept resetting.

On the eighteenth reset, the world mistook her for the male lead in the book and bound her to the Bring Glory to the Family and Make a Comeback System.

[Host's talent and intelligence are average, and her looks are ordinary. You need to work even harder! Host, give every difficult mission your all!]

Gu Le Ci, with a serious expression: As long as I can stay alive, I can take the college entrance exam every day!

[Mission One: Do the housework and give the whole house a deep clean. Reward: +3 days of life, 50 yuan.]

Gu Le Ci did the housework as usual.

Her family: "Wow, our Xiao Ci has grown up and learned to care about people! Whoever marries her in the future will be so lucky!"

Gu Le Ci received her first compliment and a red envelope worth 888 yuan (her confidence growing): That's it? This is supposed to be difficult?

[Mission Five: Get into university. Reward: +30 days of life, one speed-memorization skill.]

Gu Le Ci squeezed into a top-tier university with a passing score, and got into a Double First-Class university.

Her family threw a huge celebration banquet for her admission, inviting ten tables of relatives. At the banquet, they said, "My son's intelligence comes from me. If he hadn't done badly on the exam, he definitely could've gotten into Tsinghua or Peking University!"

Gu Le Ci (at 50% confidence): That's right!

[Mission Ten: At university, meet the haughty campus belle Qi Yiyue and go on your first date together. Reward: +15 days of life.]

Gu Le Ci was lining up with her roommate in the cafeteria to get food. They sat down and ate together, and the System announced that the mission was complete.

Gu Le Ci: ...Oh, that's all it takes?

[Mission Fifteen: At university, sweet romance starts with a confession. Boldly confess your feelings once. Reward: +60 days of life.]

Gu Le Ci wanted to try dating, so she looked around until she set her sights on a top student in an older year. She found out where he went and often waited for him along the way.

Her family waved a hand and found her a whole crowd of handsome men. "Our Xiao Ci is so wonderful, everyone should like her. Anyone who doesn't appreciate you is either blind or has no taste. Don't bother with him. Come on, pick whichever one you like!"

Gu Le Ci (at 90% confidence): That's right!

Ever since she was bound to the System, all she heard was praise. Her family and friends eagerly handed her money and resources, and whenever she made a mistake, a learned scholar would defend her. But the missions grew more and more bizarre:

[You've met a top student and become a couple. Reward: +3 months of life, one hint about future events.]

[Your top-student partner is rich and well-connected, and helps you in every way. After completing your studies, you want to enter show business. Reward: +5 months of life.]

[While filming a drama, you meet your white moonlight. You stop at nothing to take him by force. Reward: +5 months of life.]

[Your sleeper-hit TV drama makes you an overnight sensation, earning you your first leading role. Reward: +5 months of life, one accelerated martial arts training package.]

Gu Le Ci (growing into the male lead) had stars in her eyes: Everything's going so smoothly! It's all going so smoothly! Is this what the male lead's world is like? This is incredible!

The honest Gu Le Ci somehow learned to let loose and started pulling all sorts of outrageous stunts:

- Having a romance with a famous, handsome, hugely popular actor while filming a drama

- During the filming of a variety show, you went along with the crowd and ordered illegal takeout, got caught, and your husband returned to work to earn money and help you fight the lawsuit. Unable to bear it, you divorced him...

- After getting out, your fans begged you to make a comeback. You went on a variety show and enjoyed a second spring in your career, then found a younger college student to keep you company and help you raise your child...

[Ahhh! Remember, you're the male lead!]

Gu Le Ci (growing into the male-lead version) waved a hand. "Look, everyone's praising me for doing a good job! You're the one with no taste!"

The System watched the world grow increasingly stable and fell silent.

Reading Guide:

1. The female lead is a woman both psychologically and physically. She is bound to the male lead's System from the original book, and when the System issues missions or speaks, it thinks she is the male lead in the book.

2. The female lead is honest, but not a good person. The story begins in her senior year of high school, and she gradually enters show business after starting university.

3. Some System settings are purely fictional and for entertainment, with no real-life basis. Forget them after reading.

4. 1v1, but the romance develops in stages. It's uncertain whether there will be a fixed male lead (tentatively yes).
