I Can't Believe I'm the Heroine

The story next door, "Song Zhaodi," is now available. All you lovely readers are welcome to add it to your favorites. Blurb: Su Xiaoxiao returned from overseas at the age of twenty-three and celebrated at a bar with a group of friends. Who knew that just as she stepped out of the bar, a brick would fall from the sky and crack her head open? When she woke up, she had developed a supernatural ability. She could see large characters of different colors floating above people's heads: gold for protagonists, blue for supporting characters, brown for villains, silver for cannon fodder, and teal for passersby. Looking around, she saw that most people had teal characters over their heads. Only a few had gold ones. As for her, the twenty-three-year-old Su Xiaoxiao, the gold characters above her head were piled up in layer upon layer, as thick as if she were wearing a golden crown. The catch was that, as a female protagonist, she was the heroine of melodramatic and tragic stories, doomed to suffer all kinds of physical and emotional abuse. Su Xiaoxiao: I've got something to say, and I don't know if I should say it. This story will begin its final VIP serialization tomorrow, May 7. Blurb for "Song Zhaodi": Song Zhaodi's husband passed the university entrance exam. She worked tirelessly to care for her in-laws, managing both the fields and the household. When her husband finally graduated from university and she thought their family could at last be reunited, he asked her for a divorce, saying they had nothing in common and weren't right for each other. Though her husband asked for a divorce, he wanted Song Zhaodi to stay in the home and continue caring for his parents. Her in-laws also wanted her to stay. After all, divorce was a stain on a woman's reputation. As long as Song Zhaodi remained in the Zhu household, they would recognize no one but her as their daughter-in-law. Her own parents went so far as to say she wasn't allowed to come home. A daughter who marries out is like water poured away, they said. Besides, as long as Song Zhaodi stayed in the Zhu household, they would remain Dr. Zhu's parents-in-law and could enjoy the benefits that came with being a doctor's relatives. Song Zhaodi: her name means "bring a younger brother." She brought her maiden family a son, bore a son for her husband's family, and cared for her husband's parents. She spent her whole life living for others. But one day, she suddenly understood: in this life, you have to live for yourself at least once. Preorder story "Killing the System in a Period Novel": On the very first day after being sent to the countryside, a thing calling itself a "System" came to Lin Qingyang. "Hello, Host! I'm the 'White Moonlight System.' Let's win over all kinds of male leads together, earn their gratitude and love, and become the everlasting white moonlight and cinnabar mole in their hearts!!!" Lin Qingyang: … "Host, all the targets assigned by this System will become big shots in their fields one day. For now, they're just a little down on their luck. All you have to do is approach them, show them some concern, and win them over, and you'll become a winner in life." Lin Qingyang: … "Your first mission is now available: show some kindness to the first big shot and raise his affection score by two points. Complete it to receive one beginner beauty pill. After taking it, some of the grime and impurities in your body will be expelled, and your skin will look better." Lin Qingyang: "And if I fail?" "…If you fail, freckles will appear on your face. But don't worry, Host. Two affection points are easy to get. One small kind gesture is enough to earn them." Lin Qingyang: "I refuse." Lin Qingyang refused to do the missions. Her face broke out in freckles, her eyes became smaller, her eyelids thicker, and her body grew heavy. She became almost the ugliest girl in the village, but she went on doing as she pleased. The System couldn't take it anymore and showed her a novel about someone teaming up with a System to reach the pinnacle of life. In the novel, she was a walk-on character, while a young intellectual sent to the countryside with her got the System. With the System's "help," she became the white moonlight of several big shots and ultimately reached the pinnacle of life. But Lin Qingyang wasn't moved. She kept playing dead and refused to do the missions, until she finally outlasted the System. But she hadn't had more than a few peaceful days before a second System showed up. Lin Qingyang: ??? Decades later, Lin Qingyang, chief engineer of China's "Fly Beyond the Solar System" project, was invited to give a speech at her alma mater. Her opening words were: "I'd like to thank the friends who showed up uninvited back then!"
