Chapter 2 [Changed] I'm so rich, my hands...

The living room, designed with high ceilings, features a full-length glass wall, allowing for ample natural light.

The sofa was long and soft, and three people could sit on it comfortably without feeling cramped.

"Miss Su, this oil painting..."

Su Yunruo took the tea from the housekeeper with a gentle smile.

In Xiao Ou's opinion, this is the image that Su Yunruo often shows in every TV series. To put it simply, she is a saintly figure radiating the glow of a white lotus flower.

"Just find a new glass frame to put it in."

"It looks like it was scratched by glass." The butler hesitated, then had to say, "It needs to be lent to the city's art exhibition next month."

"!!!"

Xiao Ou's eyes widened, she held the teacup tightly in both hands, and stood almost upright with her toes together.

Only by tensing your hamstrings and feeling a slight pain can your brain relax briefly.

No, it's not what she guessed, is it?

Is this thing really real? The one that the city art gallery is preparing to exhibit was borrowed from Su Yunruo?

She could no longer remain calm. "I'm sorry, I... I accidentally bumped into the glass, um... I..."

"It's alright."

"From my salary... huh?"

"You don't need to pay for it."

Su Yunruo's Holy Mother Halo underwent a super evolution, with colorful auspicious clouds rising behind her and rainbow radiance, making her appear like a Bodhisattva descending to earth.

The Bodhisattva leisurely sipped his tea.

Xiao Ou: OoO

She...she must have heard correctly? Su Yunruo is refusing to make her pay for the painting that the city art museum used for its exhibition and promotion?

Is she really that nice? That generous?

Su Yunruo gave her a playful wink, "You can't afford to pay for it."

Puff puff

I cannot afford to pay.

A sharp arrow pierced his heart.

Xiao Ou almost vomited blood on the spot, "How much...how much..."

“You really don’t need to pay for it. It’s just a decorative little thing. Uncle Xu, just tell the people at the Municipal Art Museum that the painting is damaged and ask them to make up a story to cover it up, such as the owner of the painting accidentally encountering a fire and rushing in to rescue people, or being robbed and vowing to protect it to the death, etc. I will provide the material.”

After Su Yunruo finished speaking to the housekeeper, she turned around and winked at Xiao Ou, then smiled, her eyes narrowing into slits and her mouth widening to reveal a set of big white teeth.

Xiao Ou's breath hitched, and she quickly moved away.

When pig fans praised Su Yun for looking like a rich girl, Xiao Ou always disagreed.

A rich heiress should be a sexy and glamorous woman with red lips and slicked-back eyeliner, someone you wouldn't want to mess with. Su Yunruo wasn't like that at all, but when Xiao Ou saw her in person, she noticed the clear, watery look in her eyes, and the charming, bright, and radiant smile, as if she had never suffered a single hardship in her life.

How could a poor family raise a girl like that?

Don't say that.

The agent, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up.

Su Yunruo's smile deepened, and she tilted her head like a kitten, snuggling against her manager's shoulder. "Oh dear, I can't bear to ask a pretty and well-behaved kid for money."

It's a big one, but when it shrinks down, it looks a size smaller.

Suddenly, two long legs were placed on Jiang Chunrou's knees without warning. Jiang Chunrou seemed used to it and didn't struggle, letting Su Yunruo continue to do as she pleased. Su Yunruo used both hands to hug Jiang Chunrou's neck, making it look like the female lead in a TV drama being carried in a princess carry by the male lead.

But—the female lead is 1.8 meters tall.

Compared to her, this "male lead" looks like a little bird.

The scene is too beautiful to look at.

Xiao Ou's lips twitched at just the right moment.

It's so hard to judge how Su Yunruo and her agent behave in private!

"If you don't need to pay compensation, then you don't need to pay compensation. Don't bring up those irrelevant things."

"Okay, then I won't say that next time."

Jiang Chunrou turned to Xiao Ou and said, "Don't take it to heart. Miss Su didn't mean to look down on you. She's just a very direct person."

Xiao Ou: "..."

"Little Ou?"

Xiao Ou seemed to wake from a dream, shaking her head in a panic, "I didn't think much of it."

After shaking his head, he carefully raised his eyes, but unexpectedly, he was caught red-handed.

He immediately felt a pang of regret, wondering if staring at her like that would make him seem like a pervert.

Xiao Ou quickly turned her face away, "I...I really didn't..."

"She must have been mesmerized by how beautiful I am."

"Huh?" Little Europe was dumbfounded.

Su Yunruo cupped her face in her hands, making a "flower of the motherland" gesture, and nestled shyly in Jiang Chunrou's arms. "Xiao Ou, don't feel embarrassed. I am indeed quite likable."

Xiao Ou: ………………

Xiao Ou: ? ?

Jiang Chunrou: "..."

Three seconds later, Jiang Chunrou finally couldn't take it anymore. She rubbed her face hard, lifted Su Yunruo's legs off her own, and propped up half of Su Yunruo's head away from her shoulder.

Just as Su Yunruo was about to speak, Jiang Chunrou forcibly interrupted the enemy's spellcasting, "Let's talk about serious matters."

Then he pulled out his laptop from his bag and said, "The PR department has already removed the trending topics three times today. The achievement chart made by the haters is indeed true. Are you still planning to lie at home like a corpse?"

"Oh dear, let's not talk about work during break time. I made a lychee cake, do you want some?"

"Don't change the subject."

"I'll bring it for you to try."

Su Yunruo quickly jumped up and ran away. Jiang Chunrou was a beat slower and reached out but missed. Holding her computer, she was furious and helpless: "Come back! Do you want to keep being scolded by netizens?"

Da da da da.

The high heels slammed loudly on the floor.

"Bang--"

They took the cake, fine, but then they closed the kitchen door.

...

Inside the kitchen, the three chefs who were arguing about what to cook for dinner all looked over.

Su Yunruo waved awkwardly, "I'm here to get my things. You guys continue with your work."

She doesn't want to act; she just wants to make money.

And this wish is about to come true.

A few days ago, a Tang Monk suddenly popped into Su Yunruo's mind.

[You are the vicious supporting character, the wicked ex-wife of the ascetic Buddhist monk, and the crazy senior who serves as a foil to the stunning beauties of the entertainment industry.]

You deeply love the male lead, yet you watch him go mad for another woman.

Want to change your fate? Bind yourself to the Villainous Female Supporting Character's Self-Saving System, and you can bring the abstinent male lead home.

The sound was ever-present, playing on a loop, even more terrifying than that so-called ascetic Buddhist monk and earthly beauty.

After several days of harassment, Su Yunruo finally realized that she did not have a mental illness.

"Oh, so this is a fictional world."

The system was so slow to accept the message that it paused for a moment: "Yes, because your fate is too tragic, I will now guide you to change it."

"I always said I'm ridiculously rich."

system:【……】

The system silently returned to the character introduction interface, quickly skipped the first ten pages of individual content for the male and female protagonists, and finally saw a brief introduction as a tool character: Su Yunruo, a beauty with low intelligence, from a wealthy family.

Its attributes are absolutely amazing.

The system began to worry about whether it could complete the kip.

If the host's IQ is too low, it will be very difficult for them to cooperate with the work.

If the work is not completed, the score will be low.

If the rating is low, they'll be assigned to a children's reality show next year where they'll be mentored by a three-and-a-half-year-old.

No—don't—ah—

"Now are you going to teach me how to change my fate?"

System: [Please do not prompt for the process yourself.]

Su Yunru blinked her eyes.

"..."

"..."

One second, two seconds.

She suddenly reached to her ear, took off the hair clip, and put it back on.

With her arm raised, a section of pale pink flesh on the inside of her arm looked so tempting to pinch.

When I tried to clip it back on, I wasn't sure if it was because I wasn't very skilled or if short hair just wasn't suitable for this thing. I tried several times but it wouldn't stay in place. I got up and went to the bathroom to find another small clip to help secure it.

From behind, her legs are extremely prominent, straight and rounded, as if they were drawn.

After fixing my hair in front of the mirror, I sat there upright, and the air fell into an awkward silence once again.

At first glance, her eyes were moist, clear, bright, and full of life, just as her brainless fans described her as adorable.

Her red lips parted slightly, revealing her pearly teeth and adding to her cuteness.

"Why aren't you bringing up the process yet? I can't think of anything else I can do to save your face."

The system seemed to awaken from a dream.

I'm once again amazed by how incredibly beautiful she is.

With trembling hands, Su Yunruo clicked the input button, and a blue transparent electronic screen appeared out of thin air in front of her, displaying the novel.

This is a melodramatic romance novel about a female celebrity and a domineering CEO.

The female lead is a stunningly beautiful and alluring woman who was dubbed the "flower of wealth and nobility" upon her debut. She is loved by everyone, and even passing dogs would nuzzle her.

The male protagonist is the heir to a well-known company. He is ruthless, cold, and aloof, always wearing a black suit with a Bodhi bead bracelet, making him the object of desire for countless women.

They were supposed to be from two different worlds, but they fell in love at first sight at the male lead's engagement party.

—Of course, it was her engagement party with the male lead, the villainous female supporting character.

Clearly, Su Yunruo is the most important part of their play.

The two of them outwardly say they can't cheat or be mistresses, but the male lead often kisses the female lead while pinning her down in the sink, in the dressing room, and in the van. The female lead also often says that they can't see each other again and can't violate morality, but every time she sees the male lead, her eyes are filled with grievance and resentment...

Later, their affair became the talk of the town. Su Yunruo, unable to bear the humiliation, went to the original female lead, but in this book, she became the villainous female supporting character who broke up the couple. This added to the drama, making their love story even more poignant and moving.

Ultimately, Su Yunruo couldn't accept that the male lead didn't love her and committed suicide by overdosing on medication.

Su Yunruo's eyes froze for a moment. "It's a wonder the author could come up with such a story. I'm just too miserable."

The system was eager to try it out. [Our system is also known as "Filling the Holes 101." Every novel has plot holes that haven't been filled. The host can earn points by perfecting these plot points. These points can be exchanged for tools to modify the plot; for example, some special memories the female lead gave the male lead can be replaced with you...]

"Why did you replace the memories belonging to the male and female protagonists with mine?"

System: Huh?!

[Your husband doesn't love you and even cheated on you, aren't you angry? Shouldn't you snatch the male lead back? He's a celibate god, a veritable aphrodisiac!]

"Are human aphrodisiacs really that powerful?"

Su Yunruo stood with her hands on her hips, her pretty face bathed in sunlight, her eyes sparkling.

"You have no idea how many billions of dollars I won the genetic lottery to look like this. My height alone broke the family limit, reaching 1.75 meters, with my legs making up 60% of that. And my face—how lucky am I to not have any of my dad's features? Absolutely stunning bone structure; I look exactly the same at 18 and 30. Over the years, to maintain these superior genes, I've had four one-on-one professional fitness classes every week, maintained a strict abstinence from smoking and drinking for over twenty years, and even invested millions in a research institute to customize a skincare routine… Why would I give away my hard-earned body to someone else? To tell you the truth, with a body like mine, no one is worthy of me!"

system:……

System: Why do you, a cannon fodder female supporting character who's willing to die for the male lead, make me look like a love-struck fool?

System: Oh no, are we really going to fail to meet our KPIs?!

However, things took an unexpected turn. Su Yunruo raised her hands and gestured in the air, saying, "Men may not be worthy, but they can't turn down money."

She tapped the blue screen. "Investing these days is such a hassle. You have to understand the market, find insider information, and worry about being scammed. But the female lead is different. She's a real potential stock! Every TV series she's starred in since her debut has been a huge hit, and her low-budget film has grossed nearly 5 billion. So I don't have to worry about losing money if I invest in her."

"What's so great about being a celebrity? You get a fixed salary and work yourself to death. But it's different for investors. They just need to put up money. If the box office is high, they can get even more... By the way, if I sign her, I can get half of her 100 million salary in the future."

If the system, being a formless entity, had a face, it would surely be speechless with astonishment at this moment.

[No part of the plot in the book can be altered. The original female lead signed with the company set up in the book; you cannot sign her to your company. The big boss who invested in the original female lead is described in the book; after making money from the investment, he became rich overnight and entered the capital market; you cannot make all of these things yours.]

Su Yunru tilted her head in thought. The system thought she had taken her words to heart, but Su Yunru uttered, "Is this the only setting?"

? ?

The system was astonished: [What do you mean, "That's all there is?!"]

"Your setup is pretty good, otherwise someone like me who knows the plot could easily steal someone else's success."

【Yes. 】

The system was relieved; thankfully, its intelligence wasn't too low. It listened, thought, and understood.

This is so rare for someone with "lower intelligence" attributes!

"Was this rule created because many similar situations occurred?"

"Yes." The system answered without warning, then suddenly realized something was wrong and quickly corrected itself: "No."

A glint flashed in Su Yunruo's eyes, "There must be many others like me."

【……No】

“There are only two reasons why rules arise: one is that those in power control the lower classes, and the other is that they serve as a lesson from the past.” Su Yunruo laughed, as innocent and carefree as a primary school student going on a school field trip with snacks in hand. “Don’t worry! I’ve always been a disciplined and obedient child… Is this really your only rule?”

[...]

"Becoming the largest shareholder of these companies with my own money doesn't count as usurping someone else's success, right? It should be called helping someone else succeed. And then I'll use the points to change the suicide ending, that'll count as completing the mission." He paused, then continued, "Wait a minute, what benefits do you get for helping me change my life? Why are you tied to me?"

[...]

Isn't this... overthinking it?!

The system suspected it had misread the description and opened Su Yunruo's character panel again.

Upon opening it this time, I noticed a red badge above Su Yunruo's name. Hovering the mouse over the badge revealed a pale yellow rectangle with the following words in black regular script: "Due to an extreme mismatch between her character setting and her upbringing, she is deemed a 100% broken character."

Su Yunruo was born into a large family with a history spanning at least eight hundred years. Nearly a thousand of her ancestors are recorded in history, and in modern times, many of her relatives have achieved considerable success in science, literature, and art; each is a talented individual with refined aspirations and tastes. As a standout among the elites of her generation, Su Yunruo's interests and hobbies are remarkably simple and unpretentious.

--make money

——Beauty Filter

Before the system could recover from the shock of the vulnerability, Su Yunruo had already begun studying the system panel.

"Forget it, we can look into this later. Let me see which plot points I need to improve."

Zhou Kantian Side Story: Shocking! Why did the rich woman pull her hair? A male star about to be revealed exposes a shocking inside story.

Wen Qingleng's side story: This is terrifying! A female idol who returned from overseas is pregnant, and three big shots have come forward to claim the child.

Lin Xingsen's side story: A 12-year-old top star has feelings for a 30-year-old woman. Is this a tragedy of education or a decline in human nature?

...
