I Became the System for a Restricted-Fiction Male Lead

[This story will receive bonus side chapters from time to time. The next story, Save Me! CEO, Stop Losing It, is now open for follows!]

Yun Runsheng had always had things go her way. Her parents loved her, her older brother doted on her, and she could make the little inventions she loved, even if no one outside the family knew about her work.

Then she had a dream.

Her husband, Yu Shiye, was the male lead of a restrictive romance, and she was only a supporting character who would die within a month.

The cause of it all was the female lead's System in her dream.

Under the System's influence, her husband, her money, and her life would all be taken from her.

Yun Runsheng: "Why should I put up with that?" 🤬

The moment she woke up, she slapped Yu Shiye. 👋🏻

As he rubbed her hand and soothed her, he asked, "Did you have a nightmare, honey? Does your hand hurt?"

Yu Shiye really was exactly her type in every way.

He was rich and handsome, respected her, remembered all her preferences, often prepared surprises for her, and was skilled in bed with plenty of tricks.

But Yun Runsheng didn't dare give him her heart.

After a long time researching, Yun Runsheng finally invented something that could destroy the System. But something went wrong along the way...

Not only did she fail to destroy the System, she became another System herself. 🤨

Her assigned Host: Yu Shiye.

From then on, the words Yun Runsheng heard most often were "my wife."

"What is my wife doing?"

"I miss my wife."

"What gift should I get my wife?"

During her time as a System, Yun Runsheng discovered Yu Shiye's secret.

At the same time, Yu Shiye discovered her secret too.

When Yun Runsheng represented her company and spoke at a global technology expo, Yu Shiye happened to be in the audience.

They gazed at each other from across the crowd.

Yun Runsheng, the System, heard Yu Shiye say:

"System, my wife is that inventor!"

Well, there goes her secret identity.

"System, could you actually be my wife?"

And there goes the other secret identity.

A proud, sharp-tongued inventor × a dignified CEO in public and a lovesick fool in private

1.

Yan Jinxiu never imagined that her CEO boss, a man with obsessive-compulsive tendencies and a personality so finicky it bordered on the pathological, secretly enjoyed acting out cringe-worthy melodramas so awkward they'd make the earth crack open!

Help! She witnessed her boss's embarrassing secret on her first day. What should she do?

As his executive assistant, Yan Jinxiu could only save face for her boss and drag him somewhere out of sight. When Pei Huaize struggled, she accidentally punched him twice.

Pei Huaize suddenly came to his senses and stared at her with an intimidating air.

And her hand was still resting on his abs...

Pei Huaize had been experiencing something strange lately.

He was fully conscious, but his body kept acting out melodramatic scenes against his will.

After it happened several times, he realized that only Yan Jinxiu could help him regain control of his body.

Pei Huaize went to find Yan Jinxiu.

After hearing what he wanted, Yan Jinxiu was three parts shocked, three parts confused, and four parts eager to give it a try. "Mr. Pei, you want me to beat you up?"

Pei Huaize looked at her fist. "...Only when I do something out of character."

Yan Jinxiu sounded a little disappointed. "Oh, all right."

2.

Pei Huaize was certain he wasn't a masochist, but he couldn't stop his eyes from drifting toward Yan Jinxiu.

The romance bot advised him: If you want to pursue a girl, you have to become her ideal type.

Pei Huaize took the advice to heart. He added Yan Jinxiu using his personal account, put on a gentle mask, and started doing things he would never have wasted time on before.

He never missed a single good morning, good afternoon, or good night. They chatted about everyday life, hobbies, and the meaning of life, and even ordered takeout and milk tea for each other.

Yan Jinxiu had to admit that her online companion was exactly her type, and she was thinking about meeting in person.

But after seeing and touching her boss's abs at a hotel, Yan Jinxiu started having that kind of dream, more than once.

The man in her dreams was her boss, Pei Huaize.

Was she falling for her online companion while also getting physically attracted to her boss?

What should she do? It seemed she'd made the same mistake every woman makes.
