Su Cha, a bit-part actress who's barely known, is diagnosed with a brain tumor. Before she even has time to despair, the "tumor" suddenly starts talking and tells her that it's a System, and that the world she lives in is a novel.
Su Cha gets so excited she starts flailing around. At long last, the exploited wage slave has turned her life around and risen from serfdom to sing her own song. This time, she's finally the protagonist.
She's going to take back everything that's hers!
She's going to become a Best Actress, win the Magnolia Award, own a hundred billion in assets, and have countless handsome men at her beck and call...
The System tells her coldly: Impossible!
Su Cha presses on: Even if you aren't a great System that makes everyone love me or lets me lie flat, surely you're the kind of System that lets me level up and fight monsters?
"No!"
Su Cha, who only wants to retire and lie flat, refuses to give up. "Then tell me what kind of thing you are. Tumors can mutate, you know. Can't you change?"
System: "Homewrecker System."
Su Cha freezes, then blinks suspiciously. "Who are you calling a homewrecker?"
System: ...

The System makes her join a dating show. In the original novel, Su Cha is a little interested in every male contestant. Thinking that if she can't have them, she won't let anyone else have them either, she meddles in all their relationships. Not only does she fail to win any of the men's affection, she gets slammed online by everyone.
Mistresses have always had tragic endings.
She refuses.
System: You have to maintain your character and finish the plot. Only then will the tumor stop dividing.
Su Cha: Ah, all I have to do is play the homewrecker? That's what I'm best at...
On a haunted-house escape show, a female ghost chases the female contestants as they run in terror, while the male contestants show off their courage. The fear and excitement send their hormones soaring. Su Cha knocks the ghost's head off with a backhand, kicks a male contestant into the haunted house, then grabs a female contestant and sprints off. "Don't be scared, sis! I'll save you!"
Male contestant and female ghost: ...
During an underwater challenge, a female contestant gets a leg cramp. Su Cha spots a male contestant beside her taking off his clothes. No way she's letting that happen!
