The System Forces Me to Break Off the Engagement, but He Refuses to Let Go

When Jiang Li woke up, she discovered she had transmigrated into the melodramatic rich-family novel she'd just finished reading the week before.

She was the most miserable supporting character in the book, an adopted daughter destined to envy the real heiress, anger the ruthless male lead, and end up with her family ruined and herself dead in the street.

No problem.

The System that had just bonded with her pointed her toward a clear path: no need to fight over the household or the palace, no need to curry favor with anyone, and no need to compete with a scheming white lotus for a man.

All she had to do was make her fiance, Fu Chen, so angry that he called off the engagement himself, and a hundred billion yuan would land in her account.

Jiang Li perked right up.

This was exactly the kind of deal she'd been hoping for. All she had to do was break off the engagement.

At the Fu family's banquet, the fiancee who was supposed to show up in a demure champagne-colored dress instead sauntered in wearing a glaring neon-green sequin gown.

Everyone in the room stared in shock.

And then things got even more outrageous. Fu Chen held out his hand and invited her to dance in front of everyone. Delighted, she blurted out:

"Sorry, these shoes... tsk, they rub too much. I might step on you."

The entire ballroom fell silent for three full seconds.

The ruthless male lead simply left her with one line:

"Stay here. Don't wander off."

Then he turned and walked away.

The System's notification chimed, and her breakup progress rose by five points.

Jiang Li thought she had this in the bag. She was practically guaranteed to win.

But the next second, an alarm blared.

Affection level abnormally increased. Breakup progress reduced by three points.
