Ruan Xingxing had been single for over twenty years, until one day a car accident awakened her.
She discovered that she was actually living in an over-the-top Mary Sue novel, as a rich, beautiful, lovesick and spoiled villainess whose role was to serve as a foil to the sweet, innocent heroine.
The heroine, Bai Zhu, persevered through adversity and won the admiration of a crowd of male leads and supporting characters.
The domineering CEO, who used the original owner's affection for him to get loads of orders from her father, looked at her coldly. "You'll never measure up to Bai Zhu."
The handsome young student, who had won every scholarship and recommendation through the original owner's help, regarded her with disgust. "I could never love someone like you, who only knows how to insult people with money."
The rebellious younger brother, adopted by the Ruan family because the original owner wanted a childhood playmate, and thus able to live in luxury, snapped, "You think I care about being adopted by your family?"
Ruan Xingxing was heartbroken.
What a bunch of ungrateful jerks. They enjoy all the benefits I give them, then look down on me for being filthy rich.
After her awakening, Ruan Xingxing transformed into the noble and icy Niuhulu Ruan Xingxing and stopped spending a cent on those ungrateful jerks. But for some reason, they suddenly started coming back one by one, begging desperately for her forgiveness.
Niuhulu Xingxing: Hah! Just another cheap trick men pull!
Maybe the lovesick setting was just too powerful. Ruan Xingxing genuinely felt heartbroken and reflected on herself, but, sorry, sob, she still wanted a boyfriend.
Daily question: When will sweet romance finally come her way?
Then one day, as the imperious young lady strode through the streets shopping, someone shoved a flyer into her hand.
[Robot Boyfriend, Guaranteed to Please! Customize his personality and looks to match your wishes, with 100% accuracy. Don't just dream about it, take action!]
Ruan Xingxing pondered for a moment, shamefully gave in to temptation, and took action...
Then she really did spend a fortune on a robot boyfriend.
Ruan Xingxing's requirements were simple: good looks and impeccable loyalty. After being hurt by those ungrateful jerk exes, these were her final two boundaries.
On the first day, Ruan Xingxing was very pleased with the robot boyfriend delivered to her door. Apart from his inner circuitry and metal, he was so lifelike he was indistinguishable from a human, and his peerless beauty was practically made for her tastes.
Ruan Xingxing: As a devoted pretty-face lover, I couldn't be happier. Money well spent.
On the second day, the robot boyfriend, whose manual claimed he had perfect domestic skills, nearly blew up the kitchen while cooking.
Ruan Xingxing: A beautiful but useless man, I get it. Not knowing how to cook is forgivable.
On the third day, the robot boyfriend blushed and refused to let her help him change his clothes...
Ruan Xingxing gave him a sincere thumbs-up. "Even human expressions are this realistic. This high-tech stuff is amazing!"
On the thirty-sixth day, the robot boyfriend didn't speak to her for a whole day because she'd praised another man's looks. In the middle of the night, he secretly crouched beside her bed and, looking pitiful, told her he was jealous.
On the sixty-seventh day, without receiving any instructions from her, the robot boyfriend beat up the ungrateful jerk who wouldn't stop pestering her. The next day, the jerk's company went bankrupt.
On the Nth day, the robot boyfriend...
Ruan Xingxing finally started to suspect something was very wrong.
"You little rascal, you're putting on an act! Tell me, are you just like those ungrateful jerks, after my money?"
The robot boyfriend handed her a stack of bank cards, then placed her hand over his heart. His pale face was no longer under the machine's control, and an irrepressible blush spread across it.
"My money belongs to Xingxing, and I belong to Xingxing too."
Beneath her hand, his heart beat strongly and steadily.
Breaking news! Ruan Xingxing discovered that the robot she'd bought had turned into a real person!
Sheng Yu: You are the only reason I woke up.
P.S. The male lead was human all along. His brainwaves, or consciousness, were inside the robot before.
