I Won Big After Binding to the Talented Lady System

One fall into the water shattered Shen Mingshu's carefree life. Her eldest sister had been reborn and spent every day scheming. Her second sister had been taken over by someone from another world and thought of nothing but flirting with princes. The two of them fought and schemed, making quite a spectacle. None of it had anything to do with Shen Mingshu, though, because she had been bound to a Study System and forced to study day and night. So, while the eldest and second young ladies tried every trick to win the marquis's favor, she studied; while they competed to make a name for themselves at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, she practiced the zither; while they fought over who would marry the Third Prince, she learned to paint... Later, a great scholar praised her talent for statecraft, and the emperor hailed her as "a peerless beauty of a flourishing age." Everyone marveled, "The Third Miss of the Chengjia Marquis's residence excels at the zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She's truly a woman of talent for the ages!" Shen Mingshu: You might not believe me, but all I ever wanted was to be a lazy fish. Unfortunately, the Study System was merciless. If she didn't study, she'd grow ugly. When she secretly picked up a romance novel, hoping to slack off, her maid cried out in horror, "Miss, why is your skin so yellow? You've got fine lines under your eyes, and there's a huge red pimple between your brows!" Shen Mingshu put down the book in despair and picked up her study scroll. "Don't say another word. I'm going to study right now." * Xie Jiayan was proud of his talent, flamboyant in his conduct, and sharp-tongued. Despite his unmatched good looks and refined elegance, his mouth drove off every young woman who had a crush on him. Xie Jiayan: How could those common girls ever be worthy of me? That was until he met Shen Mingshu, who kept a book in her hands even while watching an opera, and still worried about an unfinished painting while stranded in the mountains. Xie Jiayan: How can there be a woman so graceful and refined in this world...? I have to bring her home! [Secretly lazy, beautiful heroine x arrogant, sharp-tongued, immensely talented hero] [Note] 1.

[Blurb] After getting caught in the rain, Wange had a dream and accidentally learned the truth about the world. It turned out that her world was a massive romance game, and she had been designated as the heroine of a tragic love story. The sanctimonious, icy master; the gentle senior brother who was all sweet talk and false affection; the frail junior brother who acted cute and pathetic... They all had the same goal: To deceive her, seduce her, and win her over. Then they would become the men in her tragic romance and gain the chance to ascend to immortality. After learning the truth, Wange lowered her eyes, hiding the sickness and madness in them. What a pity. She had never been normal. So, let's give it a try. Let's see who ends up submitting to whom. Who says she can't pretend and put on an act? * At first, the men playing the game saw Wange as nothing more than a stepping stone to immortality, a shortcut to heaven. So they were willing to do anything to get her. But later, that blazing red-clad figure became the obsession they could never possess or forget. To win her favor, they would willingly cast aside their pride and kneel at her feet. [Mini-scene] The Demon Lord Chang Heng had a jade pendant. Since childhood, he'd been told that the pendant was tied to his marriage fate, and that one day his destined partner would contact him through it. He'd scoffed at the idea: "This lord doesn't need love." But one day, the pendant actually lit up, and a woman's faint voice came from within: "...Does this feel good?" Hearing a man's moans mixed in with her words, the Demon Lord was left speechless. Was this so-called destined partner not quite right in the head? [A gloomy, unwell beauty x a big-dog Demon Lord trying to cheer up a sick child] [Note] 1. One-on-one romance, both leads have no prior partners. 2.
