Wen Shiyue transmigrates into a sci-fi romance mobile game. She has to win over all the NPCs to earn enough money to cure her genetic disease.
But the character she inhabits isn't the beloved, universally adored protagonist. She's the cannon-fodder female supporting character who exists as a foil.
That beautiful, flirtatious, haughty female Alpha is hated by everyone. They approach her for money and power, pretending to be sincere, only to betray her in the end and leave her as a dried-up corpse, watching the NPCs and protagonist find their happy ending.
On her first playthrough, Wen Shiyue diligently pursued the male lead and befriended the protagonist. When her progress hit 99 percent, the protagonist killed her with a single blow. The male lead she'd won over stood by and watched her die without emotion, and the entire Wen family was executed.
On her second playthrough, Wen Shiyue came to her senses. The sweet redemption story belonged to the protagonist and the NPCs. She was only a cannon-fodder supporting character, so she should do what cannon fodder was meant to do.
Especially since the failure of her first playthrough had left her with pheromone dysregulation.
So why had all the male leads who were supposed to hate her started chasing after her?
Her first love went bankrupt and was given to her as a divorce present from his parents. On the first playthrough, he'd treated her whole-hearted devotion as though it were treachery. But on the second, he eagerly looked forward to getting engaged to Wen Shiyue, even fantasizing about having her child. Then, at their engagement ceremony, he received news that her entire family had been executed.
"I'm sorry. A life for a life. This is what the Yu family owes me."
The dark-skinned Alpha whose family had been ruined by the Wen family waited day after day for Wen Shiyue to rescue him from his misery. He never expected she'd save countless others before finally getting to him. He patiently waited for her to take him home, only for the woman he loved to tell him to marry someone else, all for the sake of the Wen family's interests.
"I saved you, so you owe me something in return, don't you?"
The calm, self-possessed Beta researcher risked his life to receive a gland transplant, hoping to win Wen Shiyue's favor. But when he came out of surgery, he heard her joking with someone else:
"So what if a Beta gets a gland transplant? The Wen family would never accept a Beta as a spouse."
Wen Shiyue treated all of this like a game. As long as she got the money for clearing it, she didn't care whom she used or hurt.
But why would an NPC outside the romance routes, her godfather, be willing to give up all his wealth and glory for a cannon-fodder supporting character like her, just to save her on the first playthrough?
Caesar knelt before her. The most esteemed man in the empire begged her not to abandon him. He took her hand and pressed a kiss to it.
"My dear godchild, whatever you want to do to me, I'll let you."

White Knight Syndrome x Lawbreaker, enemies-to-lovers.
Lu Min is a police officer. He's been pursuing the fugitive Ying Yulian for ten years. They've clashed repeatedly over the years, with each of them winning some and losing some.
To learn more about his opponent, Lu Min read his autobiography. He learned that Ying Yulian grew up in a home where neither parent cared for him. Unable to afford an education, he had to take up boxing. His "mentor," K, took a liking to him, and he went from being a hired enforcer to becoming a notorious criminal in Jiangcheng.
Lu Min hates this kind of lawless desperado more than anything.
Until their final showdown, when Lu Min and Ying Yulian faced each other on a rooftop.
Ying Yulian was carrying the remote detonator for bombs that could destroy dozens of residential blocks. Lu Min ordered him to put it down.
Ying Yulian had only one condition: he would put it down if Lu Min let K go. Lu Min pretended to agree.
But he never expected K to choose to blow himself up rather than be arrested.
Ying Yulian heard the explosion and pressed the button on the detonator.
Lu Min fired.
But to his astonishment, there was no explosion anywhere in the city. The remote detonator had been a fake.
"I've wanted to die for a long time."
"Thank you, Officer Lu, for giving me the power to choose how I die."
When Lu Min opened his eyes again, he was back at the beginning of everything, at the start of Ying Yulian's unfortunate life.
Maybe everything could be done over?
Before poverty, hunger, and crime could claim him, Lu Min found the younger version of his "archenemy," Ying Yulian, who had been kicked out of his relatives' home.
"Hey, kid. Come with me from now on."
[Short scene]
After Lu Min successfully reformed Jiangcheng's top criminal, Ying Yulian, his family sent him to a matchmaking date. He put up with it and came home.
Seeing the lights in his room were off, he called Ying Yulian's name a few times, but there was no answer.
The moment he stepped into the room, he felt as though he'd inhaled something strange, and his mind grew hazy.
When he woke, he was lying on the bed, his body locked in place, with Ying Yulian straddling him. Ying Yulian was crying as he snarled:
"If you dare marry a woman, I'll keep you locked up here for the rest of your life and ride you until you're useless."

Damn it! I didn't expect the child to be taken away like this. I felt that the actor went crazy and collapsed. The child he was looking forward to after working hard to give birth was gone.
You don't really want to drop the baby, do you? . In fact, it's very touching. Damn it, it makes me feel alive.
I really love this kind of heroine who is a trader and has ambitions. Men are used to torture her.
Wasn't the child still able to speak a second ago? Why is he regressing now?
[Cat's Claw][Cat's Claw][Cat's Claw] It's so well written, I really like the heroine who has to repay her flaws 💪 💪 💪 It's so cool
[Cat's Claw][Cat's Claw][Cat's Claw]Good-looking, I really like this kind of ambitious heroine
It's really well written 🐰 deserves more collections

The writing is so broken and jumpy.
Is this turning into the main plot again?
