A drama queen and playgirl who transmigrates into a book vs. an aloof, stubborn, obsessive ice queen

1. Ling Yu loves Gu Qing. She loves her so desperately and foolishly that everyone knows it.

She thinks of herself as a stepping stone beneath Gu Qing's feet, ready to be moved wherever she's needed.

On graduation day, the rain poured down.

With hands red from the cold, Ling Yu held a pathetic hundred balloons and rushed into the auditorium.

In the crowd, Gu Qing looked mature and icy, her figure accentuated by her graduation gown. Boys and girls surrounded her, all vying to confess their feelings.

Ling Yu called out, "Gu Qing..."

Gu Qing's eyes filled with disgust as she stared at Ling Yu's soaked body. Her voice was edged with anger. "Is this fun for you? Ling Yu, I could never love a woman."

The auditorium fell silent. Everyone thought Ling Yu would force a smile and shamelessly stay by Gu Qing's side.

But no one heard the System notification that rang in Ling Yu's mind: [Congratulations, Host. The devoted side character's storyline is complete. Mission reward: a peaceful death in old age.]

2. After Ling Yu vanished from Gu Qing's world for good.

At a bar one night, a friend asked Ling Yu, "After loving a cool, dazzling woman like Gu Qing, will everyone else seem boring to you from now on?"

"My type?" Ling Yu swirled her glass with nonchalance. "The stingy straight-woman type? I'll tell you when I fall for one..."

That night, the bar's colorful, scattered lights fell across Ling Yu's face. She sat with a woman on each arm, looking down on the world as she played around.

Gu Qing sat in a nearby booth, her fists clenched tight.

3. After returning to the Gu family, Gu Qing became a mad dog who cared only about profit.

One night, drunk and trembling, she called Ling Yu and humbled herself to beg, "I have a lot of money now. I'll give it all to you... Give me one chance, okay?"

Sleepily, Ling Yu yawned. Her words came out muddled. "I don't think so."

As the beautiful, tragic heroine of a no-CP story, Gu Qing's true love was her career, not Ling Yu.

1. The female lead is a drama queen and a playgirl, but there's more to her story. Yes, you read that right: it's a switch relationship, and both women have a powerful presence. Includes a groveling arc. Proceed with caution if that's not your thing. The author is terrible at writing blurbs.

2. Lots of personal headcanons, and plenty of twists.

1. Qi Sijia had been dumped again.

Her ex-girlfriend's reason for breaking up was that she suspected Qi Sijia of pretending to be straight, since she wouldn't even let her hold hands after a month of dating.

"You're either frigid or not interested in women," her ex sobbed over the phone.

Qi Sijia spread out her well-maintained fingers and examined them under a desk lamp. Then she turned around and threw away the hand mask in her drawer.

She'd learned from being dumped two hundred times before and had taken the initiative to use her hands. Now she was being suspected of being straight because she hadn't made a move on their first meeting!

Qi Sijia hung her head. Was it really so hard to find a girlfriend?

If she weren't gay, why would she be using her hands?

2. Having been hurt both physically and emotionally, Qi Sijia decided to take the initiative and find a new girlfriend. She got a cleaning job in an upscale apartment complex, partly to stretch her muscles and get some exercise.

But on her very first day, the rich woman who owned the penthouse filed complaint after complaint against her.

Faced with the woman's endless demands, Qi Sijia, a socially anxious person who couldn't communicate, could only swallow her anger and diligently finish out the month.

Until one day, she took off her rubber gloves to check her phone, and the beautiful woman from the penthouse, wearing a mask and keeping her face hidden, stared intently at her hands.

Qi Sijia: Hmm.

Huh?

3. A popular author on a yuri fiction site, Ji Liu, stopped updating for a month. Her reason for taking a break: Dumped for the two-hundredth time. Depression.

Readers: We're used to it.

The only one who wasn't used to it was Ji Liu's devoted reader, the top donor on the site's leaderboard, Rich Flower. She asked, "Is there any hope for the author?"

Readers: Don't worry, there is. She'll come back to update as soon as she finds a "girlfriend."

Rich Flower furiously tagged the author and demanded an update: How much longer?

The author replied: Soon.

Rich Flower: ...

Did she find someone?

Qi Sijia: Hmm. There's a gorgeous woman who wears a mask and has beautiful eyes. She keeps calling me over to her place and staring at my hands. Do you think she likes me?

Without a second thought, Rich Flower replied skeptically, "Maybe she just thinks your hands are dirty."

4. Rich Flower had a secret: Ji Liu was her one and only openly acknowledged first love, Q.

She hated everything Ji Liu did when she got dumped, including taking breaks from writing.

Until one day, Meng Jiang leaned against the doorframe, displeased as she urged Ji Liu to update, while personally supervising the cleaner. The woman kept her head bowed and wrapped herself up from head to toe.

She wore a street-cleaner's mask, so her face was hidden. But when she took off her rubber gloves, her long, slender, fair-skinned fingers tapped lightly on her phone screen.

Meng Jiang frowned sharply, suddenly realizing who this was. She reluctantly looked away and turned to her phone.

She replied to the author: "I slipped up just now. I was wrong. She likes you, so go after her boldly."
