After the Easygoing Heiress Binds Herself to a Dark History System

Wen Ruyu is a laid-back rich girl and supporting character in a Mary Sue novel.

In the story, Wen Ruyu and the heroine remain best friends for their whole lives.

As an adult, she marries Ji An, the most promising young tycoon in S City at the time.

In the fifth year of their marriage, Wen Ruyu develops a terminal illness and dies in the emergency room at the age of twenty-seven.

When she wakes again, Wen Ruyu is back at sixteen. She learns that she is living inside a book and has been bound to a Dark History System.

Dark History System: “Someone has borrowed your luck. Even though you live a peaceful, detached life and never stir up trouble, you still only make it to twenty-seven.”

Wen Ruyu: “Honestly, I think that's not too bad.”

Dark History System: “I disagree! You have to live to ninety-nine. I'll help you.”

Wen Ruyu: “...”

For her first mission, with the System's help, Wen Ruyu revisits the “three love letters” incident.

As a supporting character tagged “gentle, generous, and socially savvy,” she once helped her older brother, childhood friend, and deskmate deliver love letters to the same person.

Given another chance, Wen Ruyu discovers that Ji An, then an impoverished top student, had also written a love letter to this friend of hers.

Later, it was this same friend who introduced Ji An to her.

Dark History System: “This is where your luck started being borrowed.”

Wen Ruyu covers her face. “Was I the only one in the whole book who didn't know?”

Dark History System: “Well, you're gentle, generous, and laid-back.”

Wen Ruyu: “...”

Once again seated on the bench of fate, with three love letters held out before her, Wen Ruyu has to avoid having her luck borrowed without changing the overall course of the story.

Wen Ruyu: “Go on, Dark History.”

I can't be the only one dying of embarrassment.

Much, much later, Wen Ruyu discovers that every embarrassing thing in someone's life has something to do with her.

He is proud and self-assured, sharp-tongued and cold-hearted. In their previous life, the two of them bickered whenever they met.

After she died, he reversed time and willingly became a System for love.
