Blurb:
Chen Yao had loved Lu Xuan since high school. She worked hard to get into the same university as Lu Xuan, did everything she could to get close to her, and eventually won her over. After graduation, the two married.
Chen Yao thought, I can surely melt this iceberg, given enough time.
But after three years of marriage, she finally recognized the cruelty of reality and decided to give up on Lu Xuan and step away from that iceberg.
When her friend heard the news, her eyes widened in shock. "Lu Xuan doesn't like you?! She bought you an island worth hundreds of millions without blinking! The jewels piled up in your room could buy an entire block in the center of City A! Has she ever failed to bid on something you wanted at a charity auction? And you say she doesn't like you?!"
Chen Yao cried out, "She doesn't like me! I ask her every day if she likes me, and she has never once said yes!"
Her second friend gently tried to persuade her. "Even if she doesn't like you, she gives you plenty of money! Can you really not put up with her for that much money?!"
Chen Yao looked stubborn. "Money can't corrupt my stubborn soul! I'm tired of being a simp! I'm done!"
Her third friend wore a pained expression. "You? A simp? Please show some respect for simps. Not everyone can claim to be one!"
Resolute, Chen Yao clutched a divorce agreement and returned home. She looked sorrowfully at Lu Xuan, who was cooking. "Lu Xuan, do you like me today?" One last time.
The young woman raised her long, thick eyelashes and looked at her. After a moment's silence, she gave the same reply as always. "I don't like you."
Fine. In that case, I'll set you free...
"I like you," a voice whispered in her ear.
Chen Yao looked at Lu Xuan in confusion. Lu Xuan's lips hadn't moved.
"I like you. I like you, like you, like you, like you..."
As someone who had transmigrated into a book with the plot in hand and a System to guide her, Lin Fuling knew that the male lead, Lu Xuan, didn't love Chen Yao. Eventually, she knew, Lu Xuan would get fed up with Chen Yao's repeated antics, divorce her, and fall in love with Lin Fuling, the hardworking company employee.
She dutifully followed the System's directions and played out the plot, but as she went along, things started to feel wrong.
"Am I really the female lead? Could Chen Yao be the female lead instead?"
The System replied confidently, "Yes, you are definitely the female lead. The System's powerful calculations have determined that Lu Xuan has already said 'I don't like you' to Chen Yao more times than the System can count!"
