Zhao Mingxuan transmigrated into a domineering-CEO novel whose plot was on the verge of falling apart. Her purpose in the story was to move the plot forward and make the male lead more faithful to his original characterization: gloomy, obsessive, ruthless.
But now, the male lead was still a cold, abstinent... uh, bookworm at Qiande High School.
That's right, the male lead was actually a bookworm!
He wore black-framed glasses and a school uniform washed until it had faded. He always sat in the last row, head down, doing problems.
Zhao Mingxuan turned on the clingy, coquettish routine, only to find that she wasn't as useful as a workbook. At least when the male lead received a copy of Five Years of Gaokao and Three Years of Mock Exams, he actually looked at her an extra time that day!
How wonderful! A round of applause!
To make the male lead transform successfully, Zhao Mingxuan used every trick she had to make him fall in love with her, then cruelly abandoned him.
According to the plot, the male lead would become dark and cold after being hurt in love when he was young. Next, he would meet the female lead in college and successfully turn her into a substitute, followed by all sorts of confinement scenes and a groveling-to-win-her-back arc. Finally, the female lead would save him, the two would live happily together, and the story would end with a shower of flowers!
So Zhao Mingxuan happily dumped the male lead, only to discover in the end that she was the one being locked up.
Zhao Mingxuan's eyes widened. “System, did the plot break?”
Her eyes reddened as she gasped between sobs. “I-I was wrong, sob...”
The male lead's eyes were bloodshot with madness. His voice was cold. “Too late.”
Theme: We were never meant to meet. It was all thanks to the System... meddling and matchmaking!
