My Heartthrob Persona Became Reality

Tan Yun wanted to fall in love for the first time, so she tried out a few little tricks she'd heard about somewhere.

She developed a crush on a trendy guy covered in piercings and radiating aloofness.

She asked her roommate to hint that she was popular and a big deal in their year, then took her crush to a bar owned by a friend, one she'd scoped out in advance. She chatted and laughed with him, showing off how much she could drink, then pretending it was a coincidence, went onstage to sing a love song.

At the end of the night, Tan Yun helped her crush out of the bar and casually pointed to a few of the best-looking men on the street.

"That one, that one, that one, and that guy over there... They've all chased after me, you get it?"

She'd picked that up from short videos. People online seemed so proud of themselves for having dated a campus beauty.

Tan Yun knew she was completely ordinary, so she tried to hypnotize her crush with some shameless self-promotion and make the handsome, trendy guy believe she was irresistible.

She'd made the hint obvious by then. If her crush still didn't get it, he was a total blockhead!

But after they got home, her crush messaged her: I'm sorry, I'm not good enough for you.

Then he blocked Tan Yun.

Seriously, who are you being sarcastic about?!

Her attempt to pass herself off as irresistible had failed, and Tan Yun accepted that her love life had hit a dead end.

She never expected a handsome man in a suit to find her one day and say through gritted teeth:

"You're the one who made me fall in love with you?"

Tan Yun: ???

Tan Yun: Don't try to pin this on me, man. Uninstall those Green River novels on your phone first.

Believe it or not, three more people showed up with the same complaint.

It turned out that when she'd pointed casually outside the bar that day, she'd actually pointed at four outstanding men. And from that day on, her words had taken effect like a curse, leaving all four men unable to sleep or eat as they pined for "Tan Yun." They could only break the curse by finding her.

Number one: a mean corporate elite.

Number two: a gentle artist and movie star.

Number three: a younger, sweet-talking rich heir.

Number four: a disabled, aloof older man (number one's uncle).

Tan Yun was dumbfounded.

Where's my System? Where's the original novel? Give me back my ordinary life, give me back the rich-person life that was stolen from me, or at least give me an internship certificate...

Everyone expected Tan Yun to take responsibility for them. As she scrambled to deal with one chaotic love triangle after another, her long-absent crush suddenly sent her a message:

Tan Yun, actually, I've liked you for a long time.

Tan Yun: ?

Tan Yun: Where'd this nuisance come from? Get lost.
