Lin Feiran, an expert in every kind of tea-art and a born actress, is about to reach the top level of her quick transmigration job and retire. Her final mission is to transmigrate into a broken, melodramatic novel and play the tea-loving female side character who loves the male lead but cannot have him, only to be humiliated by the leads after going to great lengths for him.
Lin Feiran: "What's the point of being good at only one kind of tea? How about trying an all-around tea-art course?"
So Lin Feiran gathers her energy and gets back to work...
Scenario 1: You're the "sweet and innocent" wallflower on a dating show. You're caught dating three people at once and get raked over the coals. After failing to smear the female lead, you're hounded online, leave the entertainment industry, and fall into depression.
Lin Feiran: "Why stop at three?"
This season of Heartbeat Source Project is a hellishly difficult gathering of extraordinary people. Viewers bet on how long Lin Feiran's little wallflower act will last, only to see the sharp-tongued esports player patiently watch romance movies with her, the aloof movie emperor go out for late-night healthy dancing with her, and the cool guy take her for a bike ride around the island, smiling at her with tender affection.
Even the other female contestants on the dating show gather around to fuss over her, bringing her a little dessert one day and a pretty handmade gift the next. By the time the show ends, Lin Feiran has received seven love letters.
System: "...Something's off about you."

Scenario 2: You're the male lead's fiancée, but you leave him when he falls on hard times. Years later, he's become one of the most powerful CEOs in A City, but you refuse to give up and try to ruin his relationship with the female lead. You meet a miserable end.
Lin Feiran: "If you love someone to the utmost, why can't you encourage them by pushing them to do better?"
When the male lead is at his lowest, after being set up by others, Lin Feiran steps in and buys his company, keeping him locked in her own cage. When the male lead, with love and hatred tangled in his heart, finally breaks through every obstacle to find her, Lin Feiran casually tears up the contract. There is no place for him by her side anymore.

[Content notes]
A powerful female lead, satisfying and sweet, with plenty of face-slapping and scumbag takedowns. Each world has a romantic storyline, to varying degrees, but the focus is on face-slapping and stirring up trouble. Expect golden fingers, melodrama, and Mary Sue elements galore. The female lead's happiness comes first.
The order of the worlds may change.
