The Supporting Actress Turns the Tables by Reading Minds on a Dating Show and Adopting Cute Pets

After a startling dream one night, Cheng Yunxin awakened to the truth: she was the substitute female supporting character in a melodramatic romance novel.

Soon, she would join a dating reality show with the male lead's first love, setting off a miserable life in which she would be hated by the entire internet, blacklisted by her company, left drowning in debt, and coldly abandoned by the scumbag she loved. In the end, she would become gravely ill and die in poverty and despair.

Cheng Yunxin was furious. A supporting character's life is still a life! I won't be a stand-in, and I won't go on that dating show. Can't I just quit?

But when she went to the production team to end her contract, Cheng Yunxin unexpectedly became bound to a supporting-character comeback System. Somehow, the beginner's gift pack gave her a "Druid Aura," instantly turning her into a pet-loving mind reader.

The System fell silent.

It had spent years helping supporting characters make comebacks, but had never seen anyone get a golden finger like this. Was there something wrong with this Host?

Cheng Yunxin fell silent too.

She hid her delight behind that silence. So now she could understand what the little troublemakers at home were saying!

But there was no going back. The System had no choice but to grit its teeth and accept this Host. And after Cheng Yunxin heard the pitiful thoughts of all the fluffy animals on the show, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and keep filming.

Cheng Yunxin and the System: Sigh, what a hard life.

So, once the dating show began,

when a successful overseas returnee bragged about his business achievements, Cheng Yunxin petted a dog and asked, "But the dog says it heard you on the phone with several debt collectors last night."

When a pet blogger waxed lyrical about his beloved pet, Cheng Yunxin petted a cat and politely declined. "But the cat says you can't even tell its litter from its food."

When a fitness coach passionately shared his views on true love, Cheng Yunxin petted a rabbit and backed away. "But the bunny says you're having an affair with one of your female clients, and you abuse your girlfriend."

The viewers were stunned. Were they allowed to hear this? What kind of dating show started by wrecking half the male contestants' images? How were they supposed to ship anyone now?

But then, as they watched, they saw the arrogant rich heir always finding excuses to hang around Cheng Yunxin, the genius painter secretly drawing several portraits of her, and the haute couture designer publicly declaring Cheng Yunxin her muse. Even the scumbag's beloved first love invited Cheng Yunxin to take moonlit walks several times and played her favorite violin piece just for her.

She seemed the very incarnation of the god of love. Men and women alike fell for her.

The viewers: Help! This is, this is just a little too good!

Not long afterward, the dating show's production team released an edited video of Cheng Yunxin cuddling with all kinds of adorable pets from every angle. In the video, she was so beautiful she seemed like an elf who had wandered into the human world. Her extraordinary warmth came right through the screen and straight into people's hearts, and Cheng Yunxin became a sensation overnight.

The viewers clutched their chests, claiming Cupid's arrow had struck them, and cried, "Let go of that fluffy little thing! I should be the one lying in Big Sister's arms!"

One day, the System couldn't stand Cheng Yunxin neglecting her duties and focusing on petting animals all the time. It urged her to show off her charm, crush everyone else, and make the scumbag realize he could never measure up to her.

Cheng Yunxin was busy petting several fluffy animals beside her. "Sure, sure, fine, fine, whatever you say," she replied distractedly.

The System was about to lose its temper when the scumbag called, declaring his love and begging to get back together for the 10,086th time.

Cheng Yunxin sneered, then hung up and blocked him.

"Ding! The male lead's regret score has reached 500 points."

The System: ...Fine by me. As long as we meet the KPI.

Theme: Everyone has a responsibility to protect small animals.
