Forced into a Love Triangle After a Dating Simulation

In Star Era 1267, Lin Ciyuan suffered a family upheaval and could no longer continue her studies. Exhausted from running around trying to deal with the crisis, she collapsed at one of her part-time jobs. After she lost consciousness, a game System called Dating Simulator came to her. The System said that if Lin Ciyuan completed the binding, it could help her win over the SR-rank characters she met in everyday life: a gentle, understanding senior from her department; a teacher and neighbor she respected and admired; the heiress who had been her childhood friend; even the boss of her boss's boss's boss at one of her part-time jobs, and a rising actress she happened to meet... Lin Ciyuan didn't want to agree. Never mind how many things were wrong with the System's ad, which sounded like it came straight from a third-rate novel. Given her current situation, she had no intention of wasting time on romance, let alone pursuing anyone. But... “Host! This romance game is currently in a hot closed beta! Successfully win over your targets, and you'll be able to extend your life!” Just fifteen minutes before the System showed up, a doctor had told Lin Ciyuan she was terminally ill and had only a few months left. She couldn't die yet. To stay alive, Lin Ciyuan had no choice but to trust the System. “...I agree.” At first, Lin Ciyuan had only one wish: to extend her life and finish what she needed to do. But later... Everything changed. The gentle senior became possessive, wanting to keep Lin Ciyuan by her side and never let her leave. The teacher produced a collar and smiled as she prepared to put it on her like a dog. The childhood friend who had helped raise her was torn between love and hate, obsessively watching everything she did. Her boss developed a sudden maternal streak and forced her to call her Mommy. The actress turned love into hatred and coerced her into returning to her side... Perhaps Lin Ciyuan had seen their true nature. They're all bad women! Notes: 1. A stock-picking romance, where readers choose which love interest to support. 2. There should be several alternate routes. 3. All the female leads will have some character flaws. 2025.8.15 Pre-release of another stock-picking romance, “Can a Beta Nobody Fall in Love, Too?”: In this R-rated ABO world, betas are like air or tools to the many alphas and omegas around them. No alpha or omega ever pays them any attention. Song Zhuo, a beta, is no different. She's an ordinary office worker with an uneventful life and a routine that takes her between home and work. Song Zhuo is content with her quiet existence. Kind and reserved, she's a hardworking, reliable employee. Her omega boss nitpicks at her, but she never gets angry. Even when she's saddled with all manner of personal errands for her boss and is often called over to her home, she doesn't complain. With her friends, Song Zhuo is patient and accommodating. Even when a friend bites the back of her neck, she doesn't bat an eye. She thoughtfully buys her suppressants and gently reminds her alpha friend to keep track of her heat cycle. Even with strangers, Song Zhuo remains kind and considerate. When one rudely insists on staying at her place, Song Zhuo agrees out of goodwill and takes in an omega heiress with catlike eyes. Just as Song Zhuo thinks her life will continue peacefully, her boss, her friend, and the heiress all start acting strangely. Her boss suddenly turns gentle, keeps her company late into the night, and, wearing a slip nightgown, asks her to stay over. Her friend once again “forgets” when her heat cycle is and smashes the suppressants Song Zhuo bought, saying there are other ways to get through it. The heiress, who has already moved out, turns up at her place again and insists on squeezing into Song Zhuo's bed and having her stay the night. The next morning, Song Zhuo mysteriously has several red marks on her neck. And then, in the end... They angrily tell her they love her? Song Zhuo is baffled. Can betas fall in love, too? Theme: Courage is a quality worth striving for.
