I OOC'd After Becoming a Scheming Beauty

After Ruan Xi died, she woke up one day to discover that she had transmigrated into a book.

The good news: She had become the female lead of a harem Mary Sue novel, with fair skin, stunning looks, and a fiery figure. She was a beauty beyond compare.

The bad news: It was a wish-fulfillment story about a scheming heroine climbing the social ladder. She flirted with countless men, keeping them all on the hook, and her true nature as a scheming, social-climbing green tea had just been exposed.

The male leads all went berserk. Some stared at her with bloodshot eyes and demanded to know why she'd done it. Some looked down at her with disdain. Some gazed at her with scorn, but still looked possessive. Others looked at her with the pitying eyes of saints...

It was practically the definitive collection of waist-grabbing, red-eyed, "I'd give my life for you" fiction, domineering CEO fiction, substitute fiction, and white-moonlight fiction.

Ruan Xi squeezed her eyes shut and nearly died all over again.

System: [Warning! Warning! Host is slacking off. Countdown to death:]

Ruan Xi opened her eyes and painfully crawled back up, beginning her daily routine of going out of character from the original heroine.

The original heroine was a stunning, gentle, strong, aloof little white flower who had all the male leads utterly smitten.

As for Ruan Xi... she let herself go.

"Ruan Xi, you knew I couldn't get over my ex-girlfriend, so you deliberately got close to me, didn't you?! And I even thought I owed you..."

System: [Host, hurry up and make an excuse! This rich second-generation male supporting character is easy to fool! He'll believe anything you say!]

Ruan Xi: "No, it's mainly because President Ji has a crush on your ex-girlfriend. I was trying to hook him, but I ended up hooking you instead."

Male Supporting Character Three: "..."

"Hah, Ruan Xi, you used to act all pure and aloof. I never expected you were just trying to marry into a rich family. Do you think you're worthy?"

System: [Host, this fourth male supporting character is the sharp-tongued, tsundere type. He's just putting up a front! He likes you, too! Don't give up, Host!]

Ruan Xi: "Ugh, you're being so rude that I have no choice but to change targets and find someone with some manners. Maybe you should reflect on yourself."

Male Supporting Character Four: "..."

Besides them, there was the cool, handsome, refined male lead, a high peak beyond reach; the handsome, scheming, domineering second male lead, who was always mocking her... They looked down on her, yet clung to her like chewing gum and wouldn't let go. They were such a pain!

"Ruan Xi, your idea of marrying into a rich family and getting something for nothing is wrong. To keep you from ruining someone else's life, I'll just have to marry you myself."

Ruan Xi: ???

What are you even thinking?! (#`皿?)

Ruan Xi's response: Keep men out of your heart and making money comes naturally! Getting rich is what really matters!

System: [Host, you're out of character! You're a scheming beauty who wants to marry into a rich family. How did you become the rich family yourself?!]

Ruan Xi: Bleh! Making money feels great! (*≧▽≦)

But when a diamond ring appeared right before her eyes, Ruan Xi finally realized these men were serious.

Ruan Xi: "!!!"

Don't come any closer!

I can live just fine without your affection points. I'm doing great making money! Aaaah!!!

Get away from me, you scumbags!!! (#`皿?)

Reader's guide:

1. The heroine is stunning, with weapon-level, heaven-defying beauty. She's a Mary Sue who charms everyone.

2. A slapstick, face-slapping, feel-good story. Just enjoy the fun!

3. "Out of character" means "not in keeping with the character's original characterization, and completely unexpected."

4. No female rivalry. There won't be any evil female supporting characters in this story. The girls are all angels. It's only the men competing with each other.
