The Villainous Boss Gets a Beloved-by-All Script

[This story is a tribute to my days playing online games~ A story I wrote to satisfy myself]

"Complete the quest, and you can return to reality." The cold System text appeared before her eyes. Qiao Lan had become the villainous final boss in the game's story. Kill her, and you could get a god-tier piece of equipment.

So she picked up a power-fantasy script and went all out. The world chat went wild:

A: Why isn't that demonic NPC at her usual spot? B: I saw her chasing the leader's wife of that Taoist faction and beating her up all day... C: I'm seriously starting to think this NPC is fake. Is she a player?

#NPCs these days play more smoothly than players. What can you do? Later, when Qiao Lan picked up a healer, it seemed her power-fantasy story had turned into a pampered-group story?

#It feels so good to have a little healer looking out for me. The whole team is practically proud to protect her and ashamed to ask her to fight. Whenever she wants a piece of gear, the quest goes smoothly, and no one dares to ambush her anymore.

But one day, she saw the world chat scrolling by:

#What does Gu Chen spend all day doing, lurking on that little healer's alt? Gu Chen? The player rumored to be number one in overall server combat power?!

Gu Chen: He was just about to ditch this pile of junk when he switched to his healer gear. Then an NPC started talking to him? Fine, he might as well play along. But later, he found that he could not only see the NPC typing to him, he could also see quests posted by the System?

[Bonus Scene]

[Team] Sycophant Minister: What's up with that little healer in our team? Why does she keep healing the final boss?! How are we supposed to fight like this? We've wiped so many times already!!

[Coming Soon ★ After the Neighboring Kingdom's Crown Prince Steals the Bride ★]

She was honest, kind, and gentle, and always greeted people with a cheerful smile in her almond-shaped eyes.

He was ruthless, smooth, and cunning, able to shape the treacherous world of officialdom to his will.

By all logic, these two should never have crossed paths.

One was a crown prince from a neighboring kingdom; the other was a girl from a family-run tavern.

One was reborn with a heart full of hatred, while the other lived happily and contentedly, unaware of the world's cruelty.

But they met.

She was captivated by his resourcefulness. Unaware of his true identity, she gathered her courage and hoped to share a loving life with him.

Rong Yu smirked recklessly. "We can never be together."

The day Rong Yu left, her father told her, "Forget him. He's not the right man for you."

Later, she promised her father, "I've moved on. Completely."

From that day on, she began going on one matchmaking date after another, all in earnest.

In the end, she found a local scholar who was kind and gentle, and Gu Yanran was delighted.

But on their wedding day, the groom's face looked just like Rong Yu's, whom she hadn't seen in years.

After the wedding:

Wasn't she in love with him?

Wasn't she the one who was best at winning his favor?

Didn't she... want to cling to him all day?

In reality:

After Gu Yanran was rejected, she began treating him as a brother.

The Top-Tier Star's Wilderness Survival Diary

[Rich heiress vs. spoiled young nobleman, two overpowered actors playing off each other]

Qiao Mumu was born in the countryside, with rough tastes and a vulgar air, yet she was the true heiress of a wealthy family, lost outside their home. The family had no choice but to acknowledge their blood relation, but she was so uncouth that they were too ashamed to announce it publicly.

Her younger brother, top-tier star Qiao Wang, tossed her a rotten dating show. But when the first episode aired, what he saw wasn't Qiao Mumu, but an ordinary woman dragging a dating-show contestant along to jump from a thousand-meter tower?!

Qiao Mumu had been reborn. As the only person to clear an escape game, she was a jack-of-all-trades at the top of the pyramid. On top of that, she had a prediction System that could anticipate others' actions using her own luck. Surely a mere dating show would be a piece of cake?

Who knew... the prediction System was just a useless little thing that always made the opposite happen.

Prediction System: To win his favor, you have to act as delicate as possible.

Qiao Mumu: Isn't that a little too hard?

Prediction System: To make him remember you, push him off a cliff tomorrow.

Qiao Mumu: ...

*

Why ask others when you can do it yourself? All she had to do was help carry firewood up the mountain, roll up his pants by the sea, and even blow on his food for him, right?

After all, she could punch a dead tree apart to gather firewood, knock out shrimp and crabs with a single step, and cool a scalding bowl of soup with one puff of air.

Even though she diligently tried to win the young nobleman's favor, he still treated her coldly.

Until one day, the director told her this was a wilderness survival show.

Qiao Mumu: ??? So all that effort to impress Gu Ren was for nothing?

When Qiao Wang watched the wilderness survival show, he discovered that the person who had become a top-tier star was his own sister. He was like: ?!

One day, as Gu Ren lay sunbathing on a raft made of coconut shells, Qiao Mumu glared at him and demanded, "Are you the game developer who made me clear 108 escape levels, crack 250 combination locks, and climb 521 rope bridges with my bare hands?"

Gu Ren squinted at her in the sun. "So I've been found out?"
