I Went Too Far After Forcing the Aloof Male Lead to Stay

Jiang Yin had just completed her first month at the Transmigration Bureau when an overworked colleague, whose eyes were practically spinning from all the overtime, dumped a hot potato in her lap.

A small world had gone badly off the rails. The vicious antagonist and the white moonlight had both become impossible to rewind, and the plot was on the verge of collapsing. They could only send someone in to fill the gaps.

"Which one am I supposed to play?"

"Please, you're our savior. You play both! Save the day, and we'll pay you double!"

"Deal."

And so Jiang Yin began her daily routine of splitting herself in two.

As the delicate little flower who had suffered so much, she curled up in her wheelchair, osmanthus blossoms from the hospital scattered all over her. She gazed up at the sky at the standard forty-five-degree angle, serene and peaceful, waiting for the male lead to bump into her right on schedule.

As the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, she sat with one leg crossed on the highest throne in an entertainment club. Her eyes swept over the servers kneeling before her. She descended the steps slowly in her high heels, stopping in front of one man.

His back was straight. His eyes were red at the corners from illness, but he still repeated hoarsely, "I'll sell liquor, not my body."

The light fell on his trembling eyelashes. He was so beautiful it made her heart itch.

She tapped the System.

"Hey, new coworker. What were those values you said we needed to raise?"

"Humiliation points and revenge points."

She snapped her fingers with growing enthusiasm. "All right, got it."

A villainous young lady keeps a cold, aloof songbird by force? This was exactly the kind of act she was good at.

The white moonlight role finally wrapped.

Jiang Yin looked at the male lead's humiliation and revenge points, now finally full, and happily called it a day before going abroad to lie low.

Three years later, she returned to the country with her godfather and godmother. Dressed in couture at a lavish auction, she was caught by Yu Qingsong, now a rising star in the tech industry.

The man's face turned cold. He went straight to Mr. Qi, his eyes almost bleeding with anguish. "I didn't know, Mr. Qi, that you had this kind of hobby. Human trafficking is a crime."

Mr. Qi spread his hands innocently and raised an eyebrow at her. "Xiao Yin, tell me, am I saving you or hurting you?"

"You're saving me, Mr. Qi." Jiang Yin answered obediently, doing her best to suppress a smile.

Yu Qingsong left with clenched teeth, his knuckles white.

-

It was not until late that night, outside the Qi family estate, that he cornered her against a wall and gripped her wrist tightly.

"Come with me. Mr. Qi doesn't want you anymore."

"What?"

"He only paid me thirty million. You don't have to stay here and suffer anymore."

"..."

Jiang Yin: What the hell.

After cursing him in her heart, Jiang Yin looked up, her almond-shaped eyes veiled in mist. "Mr. Yu, have you... misunderstood something?"

"Misunderstood? I saw you leave with him. How could you not have been forced?"

The man's scorching fingertips brushed her eye. Jiang Yin turned her head slightly, avoiding his touch.

"Mr. Qi... treats me very well. It's an honor to be allowed to stay by his side."

Yu Qingsong's hand tightened abruptly, his expression dark and inscrutable.

Jiang Yin curled her lips.

The Main System said I should keep raising his points. Surely his revenge points will hit the ceiling now.
