The Plain Jane of the Nineties Binds the Glory-Bringer System

Gu Le Ci thought she was an utterly ordinary high school senior. One day, she woke up to discover that she was the cannon-fodder mother of the male lead in a book, who would die at the age of twenty. She decisively cut off this ill-fated connection, but got trapped in a world that kept resetting. On the eighteenth reset, she bonded with the golden finger meant for the male lead: the Glory to Our Ancestors System. [Host talent and intelligence detected: average. To become a qualified male lead, you must work harder and harder. Host, give every difficult mission everything you've got!] Gu Le Ci, with a serious expression: As long as I get to live, I can take the college entrance exam every day! [Mission One: Do the housework and give the whole house a thorough cleaning. Reward: +3 days of life.] Gu Le Ci did the housework as usual. Her family: "Wow! Our Xiao Ci has grown up and knows how to look after us! Whoever marries her will be so lucky!" Gu Le Ci received praise and her first 888-yuan red envelope (her confidence growing): That's what counts as a difficult mission? [Mission Five: Get into college. Reward: +30 days of life.] Gu Le Ci scraped into a top-tier university, one of the Double First-Class universities. Her family threw a huge banquet to celebrate her admission, inviting ten tables of relatives. At the banquet, her family said, "My son's intelligence comes from me. If she hadn't done poorly on the exam, she could definitely have gotten into Tsinghua or Peking University!" Gu Le Ci (five points more confident): That's right! [Mission Twelve: Start a company and take it public within three years. Reward: +5 years of life.] Gu Le Ci smoothly put together a team with her formidable technical skills and secured investment from various sources. The technical team: Boss Gu is the best! Gu Le Ci (nine points more confident): That's right! Ever since she bonded with the System, all she heard was praise. Her family and friends took the initiative to give her money and resources, and whenever she made a mistake, learned scholars would speak up to defend her. But the missions grew more and more bizarre: [When you start your freshman year, you meet an academic star senior and become a couple. Reward: +2 months of life.] [The academic star senior has money and connections and helps you in all sorts of ways. After you graduate, you decide to enter the entertainment industry. Reward: +5 months of life.] [One day on a film set, you meet your childhood friend, the one you have always loved. You stop at nothing to take him by force. Reward: +5 months of life.] Gu Le Ci (growing into the male lead) stared with shining eyes: So this is the male lead's world? This is amazing!!! The honest Gu Le Ci instinctively let loose and went wild, pulling all kinds of outrageous stunts: - A romance between castmates, dating a popular, handsome idol - While filming a variety show, you go along with the crowd and order illegal takeout. You get caught, and your childhood-friend husband comes out of retirement to earn money and help you fight the lawsuit. You can't bear it, so you divorce him... - After you get out, your fans beg you to return. You go on a variety show and enjoy a second spring in your career, then find a younger college guy to keep you company and help take care of the child... [Ahhh! Remember, you're the male lead!] Gu Le Ci (in his grown-up male lead phase) waved a hand grandly: Look, everyone's praising how well I'm doing!!! You're the one with no taste! The Male Lead System fell silent as it watched the world grow more and more stable. Reading guide: 1. The heroine is an honest person, but that doesn't mean she's actually a good person!!! 2. Some of the System's settings are purely fictional and for entertainment. They aren't based on real people. Read and forget. 3. One-on-one romance, but with different phases. It's uncertain whether there will be one fixed male lead (tentatively). Theme: Live earnestly and be yourself
