Gu Qingqiu slapped the little girl across the face who was crying her eyes out, saying, "Who are you trying to fool with this pitiful act?"

"I...I was wrong! Sister Qingqiu!" the girl quickly admitted her mistake.

"Hmph." Gu Qingqiu snorted disdainfully and turned to leave.

The sarcastic smile on her face didn't disappear until she had walked ten meters away.

Gu Qingqiu: [Hey, System, did you see that? My acting was absolutely brilliant just now!]

Female Supporting Character System: [Performing at a normal level.]

Gu Qingqiu: [Whatever, I'm going to get off work looking beautiful anyway!]

Female Supporting Character System: [Hehe, I'm leaving. You'll meet my new colleague tomorrow.]

Gu Qingqiu: [What? Where are you going? Wait a minute! Hey—]

The female supporting character system did not respond, and Gu Qingqiu felt that she had lost connection with the female supporting character system, which made her a little panicked.

Five years ago, Gu Qingqiu died in an accident and was inexplicably bound to this female supporting character system.

The female supporting character system tells Gu Qingqiu that she will die if she doesn't do what it says, so Gu Qingqiu spends her days either bullying the female lead or courting death in front of the male lead.

And now the female supporting character system has disappeared...

Gu Qingqiu almost burst into tears; she didn't want to die!

With a heart full of grief, Gu Qingqiu walked into a buffet restaurant, intending to have one last good meal before continuing her journey.

Just then, a strange mechanical voice appeared in her mind.

【Hello host, I am your new system, the Male Lead System.】

Gu Qingqiu stopped holding the lobster, shocked. "What the heck? I'm a woman!" she exclaimed.

Male Lead System: [My full name is "Die If You Don't Get Close to the Male Lead System," or simply "Male Lead System."]

Gu Qingqiu: [...Where is the Female Supporting Character System?]

Male Protagonist System: [You mean the system that makes the villainous female supporting character an obstacle in the protagonist's love life? Oh, it's because you weren't working hard enough that it wasn't earning any experience points, so it cried and resigned from the main god system. I was sent here to take over your job.]

Gu Qingqiu breathed a sigh of relief: "You should have said so earlier! I thought I was really going to die. From now on, we'll be new colleagues. Please take care of me."

Male protagonist system: [I think the host hasn't realized the seriousness of the problem yet; you really are going to die.]

Gu Qingqiu stopped what she was doing again: 【…Where to begin?】

The male protagonist's system began its explanation in a monotone, mechanical voice.

A few minutes later, Gu Qingqiu's face turned ashen.

Simply put, this "die if you don't get close to the male lead" system lives up to its name, requiring you to get close to the male lead through Gu Qingqiu to gain experience points.

Although the previous female supporting character system required Gu Qingqiu to gain experience points through her vicious actions, it was not mandatory. Therefore, apart from situations where Gu Qingqiu had to participate in the main plot development, she never actively sought trouble.

The current male protagonist system has significantly more permissions and abilities than the female supporting character system.

Although the male protagonist system theoretically wouldn't force Gu Qingqiu to get close to the male protagonist to gain experience, ever since Gu Qingqiu bound herself to this system, she would continuously lose life points as long as she was more than a certain distance away from the male protagonist, and she would even lose the life points she had previously stored.

Yes, for someone who died young, life is extremely important to Gu Qingqiu. That's why she's here. She can play the role of a supporting female character in one world after another to ensure the stable operation of each world and gain life points. Once she has gained enough life points, the God System will reshape her physical body and let her return to her original world.

Gu Qingqiu was on the verge of tears: [You guys are so irresponsible! At least let me bind to a new system in a different world! I've already offended the current female lead, shouldn't the male lead stand up for her? And you want me to go and cling to her? I'm lucky I don't get slapped to death!]

Male Protagonist System: [Please believe in yourself, maintain a positive work attitude, and strive for a breakthrough.]

Gu Qingqiu: [Fine! You're the eldest brother! You're in charge!]

Gu Qingqiu walked out of the restaurant. It was already dark outside. Gu Qingqiu stood there blankly for a while before walking towards the school.

When I arrived at the dormitory building, there was someone sitting on the bench at the entrance.

"Yan Yanan?" Gu Qingqiu called out tentatively.

When Yan Yanan saw Gu Qingqiu, he put down his phone and frowned. "Why are you so late?"

"Um... I went out to eat." Gu Qingqiu was a little confused. Yan Yanan had always been indifferent to her, so why would he take the initiative to come to the dormitory to find her?

Yan Yanan was just asking casually. He didn't even care who his girlfriend had gone out to eat with. Instead, he said to himself, "My older brother was in a car accident."

"Yan Shengxiao?" Isn't that the male protagonist of this world? Theoretically, shouldn't the male protagonist be blessed with good fortune and not get into trouble easily? How could this be...? Could this be the main plot of this world?

Gu Qingqiu was completely baffled. Her female supporting character system had very low permissions, and the plot lines assigned to her were also very basic. She couldn't even get involved in the main plot. The only connection she had with the male lead, Yan Shengxiao, was that she was Yan Shengxiao's younger brother Yan Yanan's girlfriend.

However, Yan Yanan doesn't like Gu Qingqiu at all. She only got to know Gu Qingqiu's housekeeper, Bai Yuxia, the real female lead of the world, because being with Gu Qingqiu gave her the opportunity to meet Gu Qingqiu's housekeeper. Bai Yuxia is the one who was just slapped by Gu Qingqiu.

After they got together, Yan Yanan would always intentionally or unintentionally mention visiting Gu Qingqiu's house. Gu Qingqiu knew what he meant, but she was too lazy to deal with him. She would bring him home and then pretend to have something to do, going back to her room or to the garden, giving him and Bai Yuxia plenty of time and space to be together.
