Saving the Green Tea Girl and the Villainous Boss

The serial novel My Ex-Boyfriend Is Acting Strange is ongoing. Upcoming titles include I Pretend to Be a Local in Front of My Husband Every Day and Little Mouth, Don't Talk. Feel free to check them out if you're interested!

One-line synopsis: Two vicious supporting characters from romance novels, each with a System, save each other.

A cute actress with plenty of ambition X a CEO who believes a man who can't cook isn't a real man

Synopsis:

After twenty years in the business, she returns to being a newcomer.

Yang Mu suddenly discovers that the world she lives in is a cheesy, Mary Sue business romance, and she is such a minor passerby that she doesn't even count as an NPC.

She is bound to a System called "Save the Villainous Big Shot." Her mission is to save the lovesick second male lead, the villain in this Mary Sue sweet romance disguised as a business novel.

Though the obscure actress Yang Mu has never even heard of this second male lead, Zhou Lin, she begins carrying out her mission with trepidation in order to stay alive.

But she soon realizes that this man is nothing like the book describes.

In the original story, the second male lead is a sinister villain, ruthless and coldhearted, who reserves all his love for the female lead, who grew up with him in an orphanage.

In reality, the second male lead is gentle, handsome, wealthy, and a great cook. He also seems to barely know the female lead, his unattainable first love.

System: "Maybe it's the butterfly effect..."

By the time the plot reaches its end, Yang Mu has finally changed Zhou Lin's storyline and waits for the System to announce that her mission is complete.

Instead, her System suddenly tells her very seriously, "Host, it seems your target also has a System."

Zhou Lin has to choose between believing he has a mental problem and believing the world is a ridiculous Mary Sue entertainment-industry novel. He chooses the former... and even after a voice rings in his head saying, "Hello, you have logged in to the Save the Green Tea Female Supporting Character System," he still goes to see a psychiatrist.

It turns out there's nothing wrong with him. This world really is an absurd, fluffy entertainment-industry novel, and he is an outsider with no part in the story.

But his mission is to save the child star turned green tea female supporting character, who competes with the female lead for the male lead and ultimately squanders a winning hand.

Zhou Lin, a CEO in the biotechnology industry, falls silent. Should he expand into the entertainment industry and find Yang Mu first?

In the end, they discover each other's secrets.

Yang Mu: "Aren't you supposed to be a sinister villainous big shot?"

Zhou Lin: "Aren't you supposed to be a manipulative green tea female supporting character?"

But eventually, they realize that the other person might be the most mentally stable person around.

Note:

Both are sexually inexperienced; happy ending; extremely sweet, I promise!

The male and female leads did not transmigrate into a book. They have always been people in this world.

The male and female leads are completely different from their original-story characterizations. There is no genuine green tea female lead or real villainous male lead.

The original plot is ridiculous, but the original characters are not portrayed negatively.

It's not really an entertainment-industry novel. There's a lot about work.

My Ex-Boyfriend Is Acting Strange is ongoing. Synopsis:

Reunited after a long separation + getting back together after a breakup

[Help! My ex-boyfriend has become my boss. What do I do?]

Comments:

[Will the poster get fired tomorrow for stepping into the office with their left foot first?]

[I'm dead. Maybe the poster should keep their distance.]

[Did the poster and their ex break up amicably, or...?]

[Just say it already: what kind of diet pills is this account trying to sell?]

*

Lu Zhimeng panics. Their breakup had been fairly amicable, but she was the one who dumped Lu Kai. As far as she remembers, she hasn't seen him in four or five years.

When they meet again, he doesn't seem much different from before. He's serious at work, but otherwise still as kind and considerate as ever.

And Lu Kai makes no effort to keep his distance...

At team dinners, he takes the drinks meant for her.

During karaoke games, he lets her win.

When her period comes, he brings her medicine.

He drives her to and from work.

After Lu Kai has covered her with a blanket for yet another nap, Lu Zhimeng instinctively grabs his hand. When she wakes with a start, she jerks away, her eyes full of fear and confusion.

Is there something wrong with my ex-boyfriend? she wonders.

Later, Lu Zhimeng looks at the post she made back then and awkwardly rubs the tip of her nose. She should have titled it: [Help! I slept with my ex-boyfriend.]
