Blurb for the upcoming novel This Xu Is Not That Xu at the very bottom.
(If you want a pure romance, don't read this.)
Before she was unexpectedly saddled with a System, Jiang Xiliu always thought she had the script of a strong female lead.
But the System tells her she’s the vicious supporting female character in an unfinished novel, the one who would force the male lead into a relationship.
Just how vicious is she?
1. Spend money on the male lead.
2. Secretly spend money on the male lead.
3. Happily give the male lead money and hand over half her fortune.
Jiang Xiliu smiles. “Just call me a sucker.”
The male lead, Jin Zhao, is broke, has lost both his parents, and has a gravely ill grandmother at home.
His own life is miserable, but he’s still proud and aloof.
-- He refuses to be kept by a rich young lady.
-- In the end, he agrees anyway, but only reluctantly.
Jiang Xiliu loves to act like a sugar mama, but aside from the tasks she has to complete, she pinches every penny and refuses to spend even one more cent on Jin Zhao.
When they’re together, Jin Zhao takes care of their food, clothes, housing, and transport. Either he pays for it or he does the work himself.
Sometimes even Jin Zhao thinks she doesn’t treat him like a person.
The young lady thinks the road is dirty, so he has to carry her.
The young lady thinks the bed is hard, so she sleeps on top of him.
The young lady thinks he’s poor, so she tells him to learn how to spit out cash on command.
Later... Jiang Xiliu marries Jin Zhao to complete a mission.
She isn’t an idiot like the original version of her character, so she makes sure to sign a prenuptial agreement with Jin Zhao.
In the third year of their marriage, Jiang Xiliu completes her main mission.
She tells him she’s bored, and he leaves with nothing.
During those three years of marriage to Jiang Xiliu, Jin Zhao has long since lost touch with society.
But he still uses his advanced degree to land a decent job.
Before his probation period ends, he takes some documents up to the top floor for someone else.
There he sees his ex-wife sitting on another man's lap, being kissed until her gaze turns hazy.
One punch, and his hard-won job is gone.
One more punch, and his cold-hearted ex-wife smiles brightly. “Jin Zhao, he’s my boyfriend.”
-- Possible trigger points --
1. Male C!!! Only male rivalry, no female rivalry.
2. Xiliu is genuinely selfish! She truly never considers other people! The marriage has some angst!
3. The original female lead isn't villainized. The original story is set in an old-fashioned romance, so don't relate it to real life.
4. This isn't a strong female lead novel. Xiliu loves herself most, and money second.
Upcoming novel This Xu Is Not That Xu:
Le Zhi has a crush on someone, the top scorer in their city's college entrance exam that year.
To keep up with her crush, she studies hard and manages to get into the same university.
But throughout all three years of high school, she sits at her desk studying all day, and even after graduation, her crush still doesn't know her name.
Le Zhi isn't discouraged. She plans to start pursuing her crush properly once school begins.
Fate gives her a great start: her crush's future college roommate is the twin brother of her best friend.
Her best friend comes through for her. After sharing the news, she asks her brother to add Le Zhi on WeChat.
As soon as Le Zhi accepts his friend request, she sends him a photo of her crush.
"Photo.jpg"
"I like Xu Shu!"
"Bro, please help me out from now on~"
"Red envelope: for your trouble."
The two of them start chatting. For the first week, their conversations revolve around Xu Shu. By late July, they’ve moved on to their graduation trip, and by August, they’re sharing everyday things.
As the start of the semester approaches, her best friend asks, “Are you ready to start pursuing him?”
Le Zhi thinks about it all afternoon, then replies, “I think I might have fallen for our brother.”
Le Zhi accepts her change of heart without hesitation. Maybe what she felt for Xu Shu was just admiration, but what she feels for her best friend’s brother is real love.
She thinks he’s her soulmate!
That afternoon, she tells her best friend the truth, then asks, “Bro, would you consider dating me?”
*
In the last week before the semester begins, Xu Shu starts an online relationship.
But the very next moment, the person who calls him by his name every day asks, “Bro, what’s your surname?”
Xu Shu: ???
#Wrong WeChat, Right Relationship #Crush Becomes Online Sweetheart#
Theme: I decide my own fate.
I can barely see the ending. The eldest lady is a person who can do well in whatever she wants to do, but the eldest lady has never thought about how to treat this relationship well. From the second male lead to the second male lead, everyone is unconditionally and mindlessly attached to the female protagonist. At first, I thought it was a cool novel, but later I felt that falling in love with the female protagonist was a misfortune. The part after the male protagonist and the eldest daughter got married was particularly uncomfortable to watch. He lost his ideals and revenge, was imprisoned, became blind, suffered psychological trauma, lost his grandma, and attempted suicide. The heroine only regretted it briefly and felt very little guilt. I suspect that the heroine just kind of likes the hero from beginning to end, neither loving nor respecting him. The heroine's parents are normal, and she fully understands how to get along in a normal marriage, she just doesn't want to do it. In this marriage, his personality was obliterated, domesticated, and his value was denied. This was far more uncomfortable than killing him. It seems that he has never received equal and respectful love from the beginning to the end.
