She Pretends to Be the Second Male Lead and Gets Away with Everything

To stay alive, Sheng Qi disguises herself as a man and becomes the devoted, twisted male second lead from the original novel, Chu Wuya, young master of Sushan.

But Sheng Qi is utterly self-centered, and she stays unfazed even as the plot deviation rate keeps climbing.

To finish the story and have something to fall back on after leaving Chu Wuya's identity behind, she's either raiding secret realms or snatching magical treasures.

One day, she makes a mistake and is cornered with no way out. Sheng Qi removes the System's disguise and reveals her true appearance.

As the protagonist's party arrives, she falls to the ground, furrows her brow, and lets a delicate tear fall. "...Young hero, save me."

*

As the saying goes, the identity you have out in the world is one you give yourself.

The protagonist's party believes Sheng Qi is a fragile woman abandoned by her lover, Chu Wuya.

Some study her with curiosity, some mock her for being foolish, and others sigh over her devotion.

Eventually, they all have one thing in common:

They despise Chu Wuya, young master of Sushan, and develop feelings for the woman he abandoned.

But no one knows that both of them are Sheng Qi.

And the real Chu Wuya gazes at her without looking away. "What gives that impostor the right?"

*

The System initially thought this mission would be easy. Even though Sheng Qi was self-centered and growing more arrogant by the day, she would surely complete it.

So it ignored the plot deviation rate hovering around 10%, and when it shot toward 20%, it muttered to itself, [Sheng Qi is just a little impulsive. It should be fine.]

But then it watched the increasingly strange atmosphere among the protagonist's party and, for the first time, began to wonder:

Is everything really fine?

#Sheng Qi, this seems to have become a serious problem#

#Please stop playing with them! Aside from the original male and female leads, everyone else seems to be your plaything#
