[Draft] Playing the Part of That White Moonlight

As an innocent corporate drone, Ji Qingning unexpectedly transmigrates into a book, where he must play the role of the male lead's beloved white moonlight.

The white moonlight and the male lead come from very different backgrounds. Outside forces and a lack of trust between them keep them from ever ending up together.

System: "Don't let bourgeois money corrupt you. Be aloof, be above it all, act indifferent, and turn the male lead down. You have to keep up this persona and follow the plot. Got that?"

Ji Qingning: Mm-hm, mm-hm, mm-hm, mm-hm.

The System watches with satisfaction as the male lead offers him a job.

Ji Qingning: "Thanks, but I'd rather earn it through my own efforts."

The male lead wants to have dinner with Ji Qingning, so he invites the entire project team to a group meal.

Ji Qingning: "Thanks, but I don't like this dish."

The male lead gets jealous and glowers when a hot young guy provokes him.

Ji Qingning: "He's just my little brother. He means no harm."

System: "Great. Next, you reject the male lead once and for all and leave the country, leaving him pining for you until he goes mad. He finds a substitute and then begins the whole groveling-to-win-you-back arc... Wait, where's your flight?"

Ji Qingning: "The male lead's white moonlight has already gone abroad. The person left here is just an ordinary company employee."

System: "???"

Ji Qingning: "I've worked so hard for this job. Why would I quit when everything's going well? Passing up any chance to make money is shameful for a corporate drone!"

Just wait! I promise that once I've saved enough money, I'll stay far away from the male lead and leave for good!

Male lead: "Actually, I have a better way for you to save money." (Pulls out the little red book.)
