After Breaking Up with a Jerk

One night while selling fried skewers at a night market, Lin Ning saw her childhood sweetheart and boyfriend, Liu Hao, holding hands with Li Caiyan, a spoiled heiress from a wealthy family, and acting meek and obsequious around her.

Lin Ning felt like she'd given her sincere heart to a dog. Believing that dignity mattered more than money, she was ready to stand up for herself, but someone shoved her to the ground, giving her a concussion. As she lay unconscious, Lin Ning suddenly realized she might be a disposable supporting villainess in a CEO romance.

As the beloved daughter of hotel tycoon Lin Chang, Lin Ning had never been willing to obey. Instead of being a dutiful heiress, she insisted on rebelling against her family. She studied a major her parents disapproved of, chose a scumbag they looked down on, and fled the business marriage they had arranged for her, only to be cast out by her family.

She had once been the brightest star in Sencheng's upper-class social circles, but ended up as a disposable villainess in Jiangcheng, bullied and oppressed at every turn by the heroine.

---------The heroine flaunts her relationship with the scumbag, causing Lin Ning to be shoved down and suffer a concussion.

---------The heroine steals her identity and takes the gold medal in a design competition.

---------The heroine dumps the scumbag, then sends him to Lin Ning's bed to disgust her.

--------Just as Lin Ning starts to like the male lead, the heroine schemes to steal him away.

--------She destroys the dream Lin Ning spent years pursuing, frames her for attempted murder, and puts her in handcuffs.

--------She treats Lin Ning like a workhorse at every turn, not even like a person.

These are the things Lin Ning, a disposable villainess, is going through or destined to face.

Now that Lin Ning has awakened to her role, she decides she won't be a disposable villainess anymore. The first step to changing her fate is to win over the powerful man she's been promised to. Just as Lin Ning is gearing up to give it her all, she discovers that her fatherly fiance has already quietly won her over. The System tells her it's a matter of physical attraction. Lin Ning lets out a long sigh. She'd planned to use her talent to defy fate, but she's just too beautiful. Still, physical attraction alone isn't enough to defy fate. It's so hard for her…
