The Watered-Down CEO Romance [Book Transmigration]

[Completed, thanks for your support]

[A ridiculous comedy disguised as an angst novel, here to make everyone laugh]

*

Shi Ye died, and was then grabbed by a System and thrown into a long, melodramatic CEO romance novel to play the heroine. The novel combined all the classic angst tropes: a marriage before love, a stand-in for the white moonlight, running away while pregnant, and a groveling pursuit after losing one's wife. By the time it ended, it had reached five million words.

System: Your job is to cut and revise the bloated prose, reduce the side plots, speed up the main storyline, and compress the original novel to two hundred thousand words!

Tempted by the chance to be reborn, Shi Ye began wildly rewriting the original story.

The gentle, scheming second female lead who stood in for the white moonlight had dragged out her storyline for three hundred chapters. Shi Ye pointed at the male lead:

"He's a spoiled wastrel who doesn't understand labor arbitration, embezzles company funds to cover his checks, and is bound to go bankrupt sooner or later."

The second female lead: ...Girls help girls. Thanks for the warning.

The top hacker second male lead arrived undercover, dragging the business-war subplot out for four hundred chapters. Shi Ye looked over his resume:

"A master's degree from some overseas diploma mill, three years with a gap in employment spent self-employed. Rejected at the initial screening."

The second male lead: Is it really this hard to get into a big company now?

In the main storyline, the male lead was about to pour out his heart during his groveling pursuit. Shi Ye clamped a hand over his mouth. To finish the mission, he needed to talk less. Shut up.

The male lead: It seems she only loved me for a little while.

Signed a lover's contract in ten minutes. √

Resolved the white-moonlight stand-in plot in two hours. √

Sorted out the car accident and amnesia in half a day. √

Wrapped up the run-away-while-pregnant storyline in one day. √

Shi Ye was making astonishing progress. The only snag was that the current male lead wasn't obsessive enough to move on to the upcoming locked-room coercion plot.

After carefully considering his corruption level, she faked her death without a word and ran off.

When the truth came out, Shi Ye remained calm as he pinned her fiercely into a corner.

She was just about to exchange a few pleasantries when the male lead, now suitably corrupted, fixed her with a dark, restrained gaze. His stern expression was gloomy and sickly: "I'm not doing well. I can't sleep, I'm anxious, and I miss you so much."

"Satisfied?"

Reading Guide:

1. A blunt, emotionally clueless heroine x a man who pretends to be reserved but is secretly passionate. The Mr. and Mrs. Smith of psychology. One-on-one romance, happy ending.

2. A thoroughly ridiculous comedy. Logic flies all over the place, and cause and effect rarely exist. Just enjoy the silliness.

Theme: Ridiculous on the outside, inspiring within
