The School Hunk's Beloved Black Lotus [Reborn]

In her previous life, the Le family adopted Le Xi's cousin, and that was the start of Le Xi's miserable life:

Her father played favorites; her boyfriend cheated on her; her grandmother showed up and treated her like an enemy.

In the end, Le Xi had an emotional breakdown and jumped into the river.

Reborn at sixteen, Le Xi decides to treasure her life and live happily, giving her toxic relatives and friends a taste of their own medicine.

With her awful father and grandmother, she talks money, not feelings. With her cheating boyfriend, she becomes a cold, proud queen.

With her scheming cousin, she's even more scheming, smiling while she plots and never holding back when she tears into her.

As for Shen Yu... she wants to treat him a little better.

Shen Yu is handsome, rich, arrogant, and unruly. In her previous life, he was one of Le Xi's few true friends.

Back then, Le Xi was so stubbornly attached to her toxic friends and family that she couldn't bear to hear Shen Yu's advice or criticism.

They fought every time they met, and eventually ended their friendship.

Now that she's been given another life, Le Xi wants to make it up to him and show him the care a friend should. Who knew...

Shen Yu looked at Le Xi, raised an eyebrow, and backed her into a corner. "Who wants to be your friend? I want to date you, got it?"

One day, Le Xi left cooking class with the cookies she'd made and ran into Shen Yu on his way back from playing basketball.

The unruly boy gave her a once-over and crooked his finger. "Hand over what you've got."

The onlookers waited to see the school beauty look frightened and angry, but Le Xi obediently handed over her cookies, smiling with helpless indulgence.

The boy everyone feared took a bite and, with a rare gentle smile, said, "The cookies are sweet, and so are you."

Coming soon: Transmigrate into a Book, Become a Drama Queen, and Hit It Big

Ruan Ting, an obscure actress, suddenly realizes she's the tragic heroine of a melodramatic romance novel.

She's destined to be used as a substitute and betrayed by the domineering male lead, framed and made to miscarry by the scheming other woman, and subjected to a car accident engineered by the villain, along with countless other tragedies.

Ruan Ting: I'm out. I'll stay away from the scumbag male lead and focus on my career.

Just as Ruan Ting is about to walk away in style, she suddenly gets bound to a breakout System.

"Push the scumbag male lead into the water, and you'll get a spot on a hit variety show and trend online."

"Expose the scheming supporting actress for who she really is, and you'll land the lead role in a major IP adaptation."

"Swindle fifty percent of the scumbag male lead's assets, and you'll win a Golden Rooster Award."

So Ruan Ting becomes a drama queen, smiling on the outside and swearing on the inside. She's better at stirring up trouble than the other woman and more ruthless than the villain. She makes the male lead miserable eight hundred times a day, all while taking advantage of him, and her career flourishes.

But gradually, she realizes something is off with the male lead. Is that dog of a man missing a few screws? If he doesn't betray me, how am I supposed to dump him and date a cute younger guy?

Workaholic Gu Yan suddenly dies from overwork and transmigrates into a book, becoming its cold-hearted, domineering male lead. He's also bound to a System: "If you don't max out the heroine's affection for you within a year, you'll die for good."

Gu Yan: "..."

CEO Gu supports Ruan Ting in public and takes on the scheming other woman, while thinking, I'm just an emotionless machine grinding through missions.jpg

The System broadcasts Ruan Ting's thoughts in real time. Gu Yan grits his teeth in anger. "How am I worse than some cute younger guy? Tell me, and I'll change!"
