When Luo Xinhe transmigrated into a melodramatic, angst-filled novel, the plot had reached a classic scene: the family recognition banquet, where the real heiress is framed by the fake heiress and ganged up on by the whole family.
The newly revealed real heiress, Luo Xinhe: Hmph.
The System showed up right on time, bringing her a golden finger: she could choose one person and send them comments that only they could see.
Luo Xinhe's eyes lit up. She quickly scanned the room and decisively picked Gu Zhiyuan, a powerful bystander from the original novel, then sent him comments:
[If only one person thought to check the security footage, the heroine wouldn't have to put up with this crap!]
[Male lead, cat got your tongue? Keep quiet now, and you'll be in for a world of pain later!]
She watched Gu Zhiyuan out of the corner of her eye.
But he didn't even pause. He left the banquet hall without a change in expression.
Luo Xinhe: ???
Haha, was this golden finger just a joke?
.
Gu Zhiyuan had always had a smooth life. Handsome and rich, he never believed in gods or ghosts. Until the day of the Luo family's recognition banquet, when he saw a ghost.
The Luo family's real heiress was making text appear out of thin air right in front of him, brazenly claiming that he would fall in love with her and eventually chase her through hell and high water.
Hmph.
He hadn't wanted to pay attention, but those annoying words appeared not only when his eyes were open, but also floated through his mind when he closed them.
At his wit's end, Gu Zhiyuan messaged his assistant: "Get the banquet hall's security footage."
Once the farce was over, Luo Xinhe looked at Gu Zhiyuan gratefully. She was just about to speak when she heard his inner voice.
[She's just borrowing my authority to throw her weight around.]
Luo Xinhe: Fair enough.
.
Luo Xinhe used Gu Zhiyuan's inner voice to figure out how he felt about her.
[Annoying.]
[Does Luo Xinhe have no brains?]
[She's like a ghost who won't leave me alone. Luo Xinhe... die...]
Gu Zhiyuan's gaze grew stranger and stranger. Luo Xinhe shivered and, just in case, started planning her escape.
.
Gu Zhiyuan had gotten used to showing up as soon as he saw her comments.
But lately, he noticed that Luo Xinhe's comments were becoming less and less frequent.
She no longer used them to ask him for help. She started facing the open and hidden attacks on her alone. Even when he approached her, she backed away. When he tried to get involved, she'd smile and say there was no need to trouble President Gu.
Polite, composed, and careful to keep her distance.
As if she'd never sent him those outrageous comments.
Gu Zhiyuan panicked.
"You've been making a racket in my head for so long, and now you think you can just walk away?"
"Too late."
Luo Xinhe: ???
P.S. The inner thoughts Luo Xinhe hears are incomplete and don't reflect Gu Zhiyuan's true feelings.
