The Female Lead of the Crematorium Novel Quits

Yu Caifei transmigrates into a romance novel from Jinjiang's Rose category, a story where the heroine is loved but can't have the man she wants, and dies in despair. She becomes the heroine, who shares her name.

Knowing full well that these groveling-after-the-breakup stories are 95% about torturing the heroine and less than 5% about torturing the hero, Yu Caifei says: Damn it! Why should only the heroine suffer in these stories? Why not make the hero suffer instead? This is completely backward. I'm not putting up with any of it!

With her strong sense of self, she binds herself to a System. It tells her: Be a clear-headed woman and live a happy life. You can get rich by making the male lead suffer in return.

Yu Caifei: There's a deal like that?

The domineering CEO comes home after celebrating their wedding anniversary for once, but finds no one there. He calls her, but she doesn't answer. She only picks up on his third try.

The deafening music drowns out his voice. Yu Caifei says, "What did you say? I can't hear you. Speak louder!"

The CEO asks hoarsely, "Where are you? When are you coming home?"

Yu Caifei: "Out dancing. I'm not coming home."

She dances all night, and her phone keeps vibrating all night with deposit notifications!

The CEO's old flame gets him drunk, hoping to claim a place in his life. Clinging to his last shred of sobriety, the CEO video-calls Yu Caifei. He seems to hit the answer button by accident. Staring at the screen, all he can see are the other person's raised brows, while a voice comes through: "What? Eight pure-hearted college boys? Isn't that a bit much?"

Her expression clearly says she's loving it.

The CEO: "..."

The CEO confesses his love to Yu Caifei. She smiles and says, "Got it, got it. Now get back to work."

The CEO: "..."

The CEO desperately begs her to look at him. Yu Caifei cuts him off calmly: "Don't call out yet. Let me count the zeros first."

The CEO: "..."

The CEO, driven to despair, pretends to ask for a breakup. Yu Caifei replies calmly, "Sure."

The CEO: "..."

The CEO can't even afford a bespoke suit. Wearing a plain white shirt, he looks cool and refined as he bustles around the kitchen. Tugging at her sleeve, he lowers himself to the dirt: "Love me, okay?"

Yu Caifei shoves him away, a mocking smile curling her lips. "All you've got left now is that face."
