After Breaking Off the Engagement, I Heard My Rival's System Voice

[Estimated length: 300,000 characters.]

The day she broke free of the System, Xu Zhaoxue was facing a broken engagement. Her fiance constantly stood up for his beloved, while all she wanted, now that she was done playing the lovesick doormat, was to smash that scumbag's head in.

Unexpectedly, she heard the voice of another System.

[Look, the male lead is defending the female lead again! Once they've dealt with the lovesick supporting female character, they can hold their wedding ceremony and openly shower everyone with sweet moments.]

[Oh, that lovesick supporting female character? Of course she won't give up easily. She still has to offer the male lead her heart's blood, her exquisite heart, her bonded divine weapon... right up until she gets written out.]

[Though she's a lovesick doormat, I'm sorry to tell you that she's your target for winning over.]

Xu Zhaoxue: ...

She looked around and finally spotted someone.

Her sworn enemy, Li Zaiyang, looked utterly despondent, as if his parents had just died.

*

Back when Xu Zhaoxue was keeping up her lovesick-doormat act, Li Zaiyang had constantly picked fights with her. Whether it was heavenly treasures or magical artifacts and secret manuals, he had to compete with her for everything. Over time, the two of them became bitter enemies.

But she never imagined that one day they might resolve their feud.

[Alert! Xu Zhaoxue is about to offer her heart's blood!]

[Here's your chance to raise her affection! Stop her and deliver the classic line: "Get lost. Keep away from my woman."] ✓

Xu Zhaoxue was just about to plunge her dagger into the scumbag's chest when she froze. A figure suddenly appeared in front of her. Li Zaiyang drew his sword and said stiffly, "Get lost. Keep away from my woman."

Xu Zhaoxue: "!" So you can put your sworn enemy to work like this? Got it.

[Alert! Xu Zhaoxue is about to feed the scumbag vegetables!] ✓

[Alert! Xu Zhaoxue is about to dig out her heart for the scumbag!]

[Alert! Xu Zhaoxue was insulted by the scumbag and burst into tears!]

*

Li Zaiyang was born with a defect in his right ear. He searched far and wide for medicine to treat it, but people kept getting in his way.

Yet more than once, he saw her feelings trampled on.

Then, on the day her engagement was broken off, she slapped her scumbag fiance and immediately shoved a spiritual medicine for his ear into Li Zaiyang's hands.

Li Zaiyang began to think Xu Zhaoxue might still be salvageable.

[Host, will you accept the mission to win over Xu Zhaoxue?]

"Of course."

Who says a sworn enemy can't become the love interest?

A sweet schemer who plays the pig to eat the tiger, ruthless and cunning × a gloomy, arrogant, sharp-tongued rival who fights for everything

1. Both leads are virgins. One-on-one romance, happy ending. Some seemingly illogical details are foreshadowing.

2. The leads aren't good people in the traditional sense. The whole main cast is villainous, each with a rebellious streak. They're the sort to jump into a fight together, kindred spirits in a desolate land.

3. If a mission to win someone over isn't completed, the System will randomly assign a punishment, which may be serious or not so serious.

4. The male lead cultivates the Path of Severed Affection and is currently graduating late. Send me one star to help him stay in school longer!

5. Not a power fantasy about a strong female lead. The heroine grows over time.

Blurb: I woke up one day to find a cool and handsome young man in my home, claiming to be my husband.

But I had never met him.

One day, while we were sharing a roof, I unexpectedly found a diary hidden beneath the floorboards.

Day One:

Hello! Congratulations on finding this diary.

No need to doubt it: Pei Yuanzhou is your husband.

187 cm, 19, 23 (you know what I mean)

Pros: gentle and considerate, upholds proper conduct, capable and devoted to the home.

Cons: quiet, secretly flirtatious.

Day Two:

Went into town with my husband to see a shadow-puppet show. The story about a goddess redeeming a demon lord was cliched and melodramatic. I could guess the whole plot with my eyes closed. Is this kind of thing popular in the cultivation world too?

Day Three:

That scared me to death!

I forgot this was the cultivation world, where monsters really do eat people! Good thing my husband has a strong grip. He chopped the monster's head right off.

Day Four:

My husband took me out for a change of scenery, and we found loads of money along the way. I'm on a lucky streak!

Day Five:

So the righteous sects can just accuse my husband of being a demon lord and ruin a commoner's family? Pay up!

No wonder they call him a "demon lord." He got the compensation money back so quickly.

I celebrated too soon. My husband really is a demon lord!

Day Six:

Should I ask for a divorce? I saw my husband's true form. He's a Pixiu.

My husband says Pixiu bring wealth and good fortune to me.

Maybe... we can make this work?

Day Seven:

The righteous sects said it was all a misunderstanding last time and invited me to spend a day at their immortal sect. But why do they have cola, fried chicken, burgers, and milk tea here...? Am I living in a cultivation-world version of The Truman Show?

I found diary after diary, but why did every one of them only cover seven days?

*

Every time he spends seven days with his wife, she wakes up on the eighth day in a panic, saying she doesn't know him.

It doesn't matter.

Pei Yuanzhou will tell her again and again that he is her husband.

1. Both leads are virgins. One-on-one romance, happy ending. The main story is told in third person.

2. The heroine has transmigrated into this world and suffers from amnesia. Her memories reset automatically after seven days.

Theme: Survive against all odds and turn the tide.
