The Mary Sue Heroine Has Had a Change of Heart

As a Mary Sue heroine, Xie Youyou has peerless beauty, endless wealth, countless admirers, and... a beloved who remains out of reach, plus a male lead who turns dark after discovering that she treated him as a substitute.

The day she sees the script of her future:

Xie Youyou: Why would anyone with a Mary Sue halo choose such a tragic love story, pining for an unattainable beloved and being possessed and tormented by the male lead?

So she decides to stay away from both the beloved and the male lead and enjoy her Mary Sue life.

The beloved, unused to going so long without her pestering him, takes the initiative and calls her for the first time, only to discover she's blocked him.

The male lead, reborn and seeing Xie Youyou go on date after date with different men, grabs her hand with bloodshot eyes and begs hoarsely, "Youyou, I can be my brother's substitute. Please don't leave me."

The beloved grabs her other hand. For the first time, his usually indifferent eyes ripple with emotion. "Didn't you like me? I've agreed. Why are you looking for a substitute?"

Xie Youyou pushes the brothers, now at each other's throats, away. "Sorry, I think being a player is much more fun!"

*Love-triangle showdown, many male side characters, one-on-one ending
