I was bored, so I downloaded a game that claimed to let players experience the ultimate suffering of a tragic romance heroine. Excitedly, I opened it, only for a vortex to suck me into the actual world of a tragic romance.
What I expected:
The domineering CEO looks down at me coldly and says, "My true love needs your kidney. You have to give it to her."
What actually happened:
The pathetic CEO drops to his knees and gazes up at me, his voice breaking. "I'll donate blood to your true love, as long as you love me."
What I expected:
The aloof young master gives a scornful laugh. "I was only playing around with you. Don't think you'll ever get a proper status from me."
What actually happened:
The fragile young master gazes at me through his tears, pleading like a dog. "Am I just a toy to you? Can't you give me a proper status?"
What I expected:
The refined prince glances over casually and orders the servant beside him, "Throw that woman out. I don't want her polluting my view."
What actually happened:
The sensitive prince looks at me with tearful eyes and begs the servant beside him, "Please, don't take me away. I want to look at her a little longer."
After going through countless similar scenes, I finally understood:
Damn it, this is a tragic romance about men!
The ultimate suffering of a tragic romance heroine means being surrounded by tragic romance heroes!

Cliched Mary Sue, adored by everyone. The author's writing is at an elementary school level. The female lead is the strongest person in the world, and everyone else can get out of her way. No female rivalry, but plenty of men competing for her.
