Jiang Yao is a delicate, clinging vine.
From the moment she debuted, she was mocked and buried in scandals. Then she appeared on a variety show. She still did nothing at all, but the sight of her face made everyone hold back their insults in unison.
She was lazy, shallow, and ignorant, yet someone poured their life's work into creating roles just for her and ushering her onto the world stage, all to win a smile from her. Countless people willingly bowed before her. Money and fame were within easy reach.
The slightest news about her on the forums could cause an uproar. She was a walking moneymaker, and one person once summed it up: "There are only two kinds of people in this world: Jiang Yao fans and twisted Jiang Yao fans."
But just as she had gained both fame and fortune and was about to get engaged, she leapt from a high-rise.
Rumors said an obsessive fan had secretly murdered her. Others said she resented her marriage, or that she was frail and terminally ill. The stories varied, and her death became an unsolved mystery.
The day after she died, her fiance also leapt from the same spot.
Their double suicide added an even more legendary quality to Jiang Yao's death.
She was like a firework, brilliant and brief. She passed through this world in a flash, yet the world could not forget her.
Jiang Yao bought a game called Life Simulator.
As someone with terrible luck, Jiang Yao randomly drew [Zero Family Background], and even her starting companion card was the useless [Delicate Clinging Vine]. She started with debuffs like [Insatiable Greed], [Reckless Spending], and [Poor Health], and was a pitiful little thing facing an enormous penalty for breaking her contract.
The System advised Jiang Yao to start over.
But Jiang Yao wouldn't listen.
[Congratulations! You have achieved the accomplishments of Breathtaking Beauty / Sibling Rivalry / A World Full of Ex-Boyfriends.]
[Congratulations! You have won the world's favor!]
[Congratulations! You have received confessions from several male contestants. Who will you choose?]
Jiang Yao chose no one. When she leapt from the high tower, the System asked in confusion, "Why?"
Jiang Yao answered matter-of-factly, "It's fun. As long as I'm happy, that's enough. It's just a game. Next!"
Second playthrough
[You were born into a home with nothing. Your parents abandoned you and your older brother and ran off. Your brother raised you on his own.]
[Unfortunately, your intelligence is far below average. Fortunately, your brother is clever and treats you well. You grow up, and he sends you to a prestigious private academy.]
[You can't understand the lessons, so you start sleeping in class.]
[Until one day, your brother seems to have died, the company goes bankrupt, and people surround your home. You choose:]
[A. Go to Classmate A, who always bullies you but is rich.]
[B. Go to your brother's business partner, B, who has always looked down on you.]
Jiang Yao chose C: watch a thirty-second ad to revive her brother.
