Wen Xiao was a food blogger with a million followers. In her spare time, she wrote a novel with an unfinished ending. She never expected karma to catch up with her so quickly: she transmigrated into that very novel.
She had to follow the System’s instructions and complete the vicious supporting female character’s plot: mistreat the male lead’s late older brother’s orphan, steal confidential information from the male lead’s company, maliciously frame the heroine, and bring the male and female leads together to fix the botched ending. She could only do bad things while feeling terrible about them.
But she didn’t know that a bug had appeared in this world. The male lead, Lu Shen, and the little one had both unexpectedly gained the ability to read minds, and they could hear only Wen Xiao’s thoughts.
And so...
Scene One:
Following the System’s instructions, Wen Xiao deliberately refused to let the little one eat, then made him weed the courtyard alone under the scorching sun, playing the villainous supporting character to perfection.
Wen Xiao’s thoughts: He’s so pitiful. How can I not let him eat? It’s so hot outside. How can I make him weed? Boohoo, I’m a bad person!
Unable to live with her guilt, Wen Xiao asked the butler to bring the little one some mung bean soup and hold an umbrella over him.
The butler: How can someone do something bad and then keep changing their mind?
The little one, hearing her thoughts: ...
Scene Two:
Following the System’s instructions once again, Wen Xiao found an opportunity to ply Lu Shen with alcohol, planning to get him drunk so the heroine could come pick him up and the two of them could spend time together.
Wen Xiao’s thoughts: Drink more. How can you drink so much and still not be drunk? Do you have that high a tolerance? Hurry up and get drunk, please.
Lu Shen, who could hear her thoughts, raised an eyebrow without a word. In the end, Wen Xiao was the one who got drunk. She slumped over the table, still mumbling, “Drink, drink some more.”
Eventually, Wen Xiao thought she’d finished her part in the plot. The male and female leads were in love, and the little one hated her. Next, Lu Shen would find out she’d mistreated the little one, then angrily ask for a divorce.
But she waited and waited, and the divorce papers never came. Instead, Lu Shen stopped his old habit of staying away from home, started coming back regularly, and shamelessly asked her to cook for him.
Wen Xiao couldn’t sit still. She asked for a divorce herself, but Lu Shen’s expression darkened as he pinched her chin and said each word clearly: “Divorce? You can forget about it for the rest of your life!”
And when the little one heard she was leaving, he burst into tears. “Mom, don’t you want me anymore?”
After learning they could both read minds, Wen Xiao wept. System, you set me up!
