Professional Supporting Actress, Retiring in Luxury

The final script for professional supporting actress Zhao Zhiye is to play the devoted supporting character who marries a wealthy tycoon in a contract marriage.

Once she's done with this job, she'll inherit the family fortune as the tycoon's widow and retire for good.

The System had to work overtime, so it delivered her retirement gift early: a panel that lets her view every livestream comment in this world, perfect for passing the time during her wealthy, leisurely retirement.

The night of the car accident, she put on the black dress she'd prepared ages ago and tidied up the scoundrel's appearance. For once, he didn't resist at all.

At daybreak, the dreaded news finally came.

With red-rimmed eyes, Zhao Zhiye rushed to the hospital at full speed. Seeing the bandage-wrapped figure on the bed, who looked like a mummy, she grabbed his hand and cried with joy. "Waaah, darling, go in peace. I'll take good care of your parents and manage the family business. I'll be devoted to you until the day I die!"

As she recited the speech she'd memorized backward and forward, someone on the next bed murmured, "...Ma'am, your husband is right here."

As usual, Qiu Zhiyu left home that day.

His devoted wife, for once, didn't rush over to him. Instead, she wore a black dress that looked like she was going to someone's funeral and asked to tidy his cat-hair-covered collar.

The moment her fingertips touched him, her thoughts rang clear in his mind:

[After spending three years fawning over you without a raise, there's no way I'm going to tell you someone tampered with your brakes.]

[Too bad you won't live to see tomorrow's beautiful sunrise.]

[I'll sell the house, but I'll make good use of the money you left me. Goodbye, darling.]

Qiu Zhiyu: Oh, so she's attending my funeral. That explains it.

...Wait?
