The Danmei Novel Supporting Character System Wants Me to Become Everyone's Favorite

[Mainly an all-around love-interest story with a captivating heroine, a rivalry-filled love triangle, multiple romance routes, awakening consciousness, no woman-on-woman competition, and no fawning over men]

Zhizhi has a dream. In it, her current boyfriend only approached her for ulterior motives. He pursued her so she would become his girlfriend and keep her unrelated-by-blood younger brother from having improper feelings for her.

In the dream, her younger brother deliberately pursues her and then abandons her, and she dies of depression.

Zhizhi wakes up to her boyfriend's gentle smile and shudders with disgust.

Just then, an electronic voice speaks.

Other worlds to be decided.

(More worlds will be unlocked. I'm not listing them all here, or this blurb would get too long.)

★ The story focuses on winning hearts and following the romance. Zhizhi isn't smart or strong, and her character is different in every world.

★ Once they fall for Zhizhi, everyone becomes so obsessed with her that they can't live without her. It's an all-around love-interest story.

★ Except in the first mini-world, the original male and female leads in most worlds don't know each other from the start. When they meet the heroine, they fall for her in no time. This is mainly a Mary Sue, universally adored heroine story [emphasis added], very cheesy ¯꒳¯

★ All the men are virgins.

★ The original male and female leads are heterosexual at heart.

★ In the second world, the heroine hates the original male lead and makes him play with himself in front of her, both front and back. There is no gender-bending, so please be cautious if that's not your thing.

★ My writing isn't very good; I'm still a beginner, but I'm improving, sob. I'll work hard to make every mini-world, every version of Zhizhi, and every experience feel different. Thank you for reading and liking it. Love you!
