The setting might change~
--
Shen Dongshi is bound to the 'Dark Moonlight' System.
Her job is to play the heartless woman in melodramatic novels who betrays and abandons the male lead before he becomes successful.
This sort of character is usually materialistic, shallow, fickle... a very stereotypical cannon-fodder woman.
It's not only a little immoral, but it usually ends badly too, so plenty of people don't want to do it.
So this kind of thankless work naturally falls to Shen Dongshi, a low-level mission taker with no say in the matter.
*****World 1: Elite School Novel, "Guilty of Falling"*****
"Proud, hypocritical villainess school beauty" x cold, taciturn, unloved poor student
Content warning: Depictions of the male lead and side characters being bullied.
****World 2: Tragic Romance, "Barren Mountain"****
"Lying, selfish internet celebrity" x resilient, mute mountain boy
***World 3: Historical Novel, "Old Lover"***
"Promiscuous, poisonous shrew" x gentle, obsessive dead husband
The woman finds her husband dull and boring, so she conspires with her lover to kill him.
Barely seven days after his death, she's impatient to throw herself into her lover's arms. They spend night after night in revelry, enjoying themselves beyond restraint.
"Dong Niang..."
As she waits for her husband's return, reborn as a dark avenger, her lover suddenly calls her in her husband's voice. His cold fingers stroke her neck.
"Do you love him that much? I've tried so hard to imitate him. Is it still not enough...?"
***World 4: Modern Entertainment Industry Novel, "Fantasy Dream"***
"Fame-hungry, fan-flattering young idol" x disabled-legged sugar daddy with romantic fantasies
Shen Dongshi: "Do you love me?"
Sugar Daddy: "I love you. I'd do anything for you."
Shen Dongshi: "Then stop contacting me. I've landed a great opportunity, and you'll become a scandal that hurts my career."
[In a zombie novel, a woman who hates the world gets bitten by a zombie and deliberately infects the superpowered team captain]
[In an ABO novel, a gold-digger abandons her beta programmer boyfriend]
[In a low-temperature apocalypse novel, a selfish woman takes all the food and clothes, leaving her admirer to freeze to death]
Reading Guide:
1. This isn't a villainess novel. It's melodramatic and outrageous.
2. The heroine is compassionate and forgiving. Most male leads are miserable, insecure underdogs who become obsessive, twisted, and shameless after turning dark.
3. The male lead in World 2 will be able to speak later in the story. The male lead in World 4 will regain the use of his legs.
Please don't read this as a reflection of real life.
