The Supporting Female Character Just Wants to Be a Professional Gaming Companion

(This story has been abandoned. Please don't start reading it.)

In her previous life, Chi Qingmiao was a professional companion who moved among the social elite, with her dedication to the job maxed out.

She kept people company while chatting, playing games, and helping heartbroken younger guys.

She went to art exhibits, played ball, and accompanied wealthy businessmen to parties.

She earned a good income, loved learning, and lived a comfortable life.

Her only headache was that the men kept breaking the professional rules of her trade, turning simple paid companionship into romantic interest.

At last, one day, a man she had rejected flew into a rage. She refused to give in, even at the cost of her life, and he threw her into the sea.

Her professional integrity moved the heavens. As she lay dying, the Companion System bound itself to her and saved her life.

After transmigrating into a book, Chi Qingmiao became a cannon-fodder supporting female character whom everyone hated.

The novel's four male leads are a cold-faced domineering CEO, a rebellious wolfdog, a future scientist, and an esports ace. Because of the female lead, they either loathe Chi Qingmiao or pay her no attention at all.

With the female lead's halo at work, Chi Qingmiao no longer has to worry about getting caught up in romantic entanglements. She happily focuses on her companion missions. Need someone to duo-queue and climb the ranks? She's on it. Need someone to race cars and carry a girl? She's in. Feeling unloved and want some company? She'll be your understanding little sister.

But in the end, even the female lead's halo can't help. Those awful men still fall for her.

Heavens above, what did she do wrong? All she wanted was to be a professional companion!

Coming soon:

"After Losing My Memory, I Hit Up My Ex-Husband for Money [Entertainment Industry]"

Has-been actress Xu Qiao gets hit by a stage light and loses her memory.

She loses it so completely that she can't even remember her own name.

The script beside her becomes her introduction to the world. On its first page, the heroine is overwhelmed by a series of blows, her thoughts in chaos. She forgets a memory and is forcibly taken to a psychiatric hospital.

Xu Qiao is so frightened that her eyes turn red. No, she can't let anyone find out she has amnesia. She can't let them tie her to a bed and inject her with sedatives.

She cautiously figures out who she is, does everything she can to find her private social media accounts, and tries to keep up her old public image without letting anyone notice.

Her social media feed is blank, while her Weibo is full of selfies and ads.

By a twist of fate, she eventually digs up an old account from four years ago. There is only one lonely post:

"Don't Love Crossing Bridges: I got married today. I never thought I'd marry Shen Nanshu one day. Will married life be the way I imagined?"

Xu Qiao instantly feels like she has found her family. She finds Shen Nanshu's number in her contacts, and the moment he answers, she sobs, "Waaah, honey, I'm at the hospital. Could you come pick me up?"

Three years after their divorce, Xu Qiao has never contacted him once. They have attended countless red carpets and galas together without even exchanging a polite greeting. Now that her career has taken a nosedive and she can only act in A-list dramas alongside nobodies, she finally calls him and immediately addresses him in a coquettish voice as her husband.

Xu Qiao doesn't know that Shen Nanshu has been trying to ignore her messages and stop himself from contacting her, until his heart is breaking.

Now that she's come tumbling back into his life, she won't be able to get away again.

Content warning: The heroine is sweet and delicate, and relies on the hero to make a comeback. Don't read if that's not your thing.

This upcoming story is a revised version of an earlier one about the real daughter. I really don't want to write that one anymore, so I switched to an idea that inspires me.

Theme: Work hard and make money.
