[Red Alert! Red Alert! The yandere male supporting character's dark side has reached its maximum; the world will collapse in ten minutes. Emergency measure to change the host's target!]
What the hell?
The alarm bells blared in my mind.
At the same time, the private room where Xia Wan was located was kicked open.
A group of well-trained bodyguards in black rushed in, filling most of the room.
Xia Wan, Zheng Minghuai, and his brother, who were comfortably soaking their feet, were all stunned.
The bodyguards automatically separated, leaving a narrow passage for one person at the door.
The tall, slender man approached slowly. He had exquisite and perfect features, and his narrow eyes were slightly lowered. The red mole at the corner of his right eye added a touch of bewitching charm to his unruly expression. The incandescent light shone from above, illuminating his face with a chilling and murderous aura.
He stopped in front of them, toying with the exquisite silver spear in his hand with his slender fingers, a half-smile on his face.
"Tell me, how do you all want to die?"
A low, magnetic sound permeated the entire private room, and the air pressure seemed to drop to the bottom.
Xia Wan, who was still infatuated with the boy, was so frightened that she shrank back.
Good heavens!
A femme fatale!
Are there no restrictions on guns in parallel universes?
[Ding! Host's target has been changed to Cui Ziqi, male, 25 years old, illegitimate son of the most powerful family in Lincheng, a super yandere villain, bloodthirsty pervert, and a ruthless killer...]
[Host, please win over the yandere villain Cui Ziqi within ten minutes! Lower his corruption level!]
Xia Wan's eyes widened in alarm, and she cried out in her heart.
"Damn system! You're not telling me this thug who broke in is Cui Ziqi, are you? He's got a gun!"
"Besides, I've been trying to seduce Zheng Minghuai for three years and still haven't succeeded. You want me to seduce this freak in ten minutes? Are you out of your mind?"
Xia Wan went crazy.
[Host, I can't help it. There's a bug in the book. For some reason, the yandere male supporting character's 'darkening value' has suddenly skyrocketed. He's about to kill the male lead, steal the female lead, and imprison her.]
If the male lead dies, the world will collapse, and you, the host, will die too...
The system's voice grew softer and softer, but Xia Wan sensed something amiss.
'A book? Didn't you say this is a parallel world?'
System busy tone.
Suppressing her anger, Xia Wan continued to ask, "Who are the male and female protagonists in the book?"
[...Male lead Zheng Minghuai, female lead Xia Zhizhi...]
"Depend on!"
She's been tricked by this lousy system!
Three years ago, when she inexplicably transmigrated to this world, the system told her that in order to escape this world, she had to win over Zheng Minghuai, otherwise she would die.
To survive, she became Zheng Minghuai's devoted follower for three whole years!
Even knowing that he liked Xia Zhizhi, she still tried everything she could to please him.
They bring clothes when we're cold, and food when we're hungry.
Even now, when Zheng Minghuai wants to have some fun, she's willing to endure the humiliation of having to go to a foot massage parlor to wash his feet!
Unexpectedly, all her efforts were in vain!
What strategy guide? What mission?
Her real role is to act as cannon fodder and a catalyst in the romance between the male and female leads!
This is all a conspiracy by the system!
The system never intended for her to live!
Her resounding rendition of a traditional Chinese opera melody silenced the entire private room, and Cui Ziqi's gaze fell intently on her.
He paused when he saw her eyes, and his brows furrowed slightly.
It looks somewhat familiar.
"I quit!"
Xia Wan kicked over the foot bath water, splashing the warm water all over Zheng Minghuai.
"Xia Wan! You're asking for it!"
Aside from Zheng Minghuai's exasperation, the bodyguards following Cui Ziqi also drew their weapons, glaring at her menacingly.
"So what if I'm looking for death? You bunch of paper dolls, I'm not putting up with this anymore!"
Xia Wan glared at Zheng Minghuai and turned to walk towards the door.
The system was shocked by Xia Wan's decision to die and quickly apologized.
[Host, calm down. Don't anger the male supporting character; he really will kill!]
Xia Wan ignored her and continued walking.
[Host, I was wrong. The host I served before would rather be a simp than a villainous supporting character, and in the end, I failed the mission and was demoted. I was afraid you would feel the same way, so I lied to you. Please forgive me!]
Xia Wan continued walking, and Cui Ziqi gently pulled the spool, chambering a bullet.
The system alarm blared loudly, the sound becoming increasingly urgent.
[Host, host, I will apply to the main system to give your parents from your original world a fortune of ten million as a benefit! As long as you complete the main quest, you can go back!]
Xia Wan finally stopped.
The dark muzzle of the gun stopped an inch from her forehead.
"Damn system, draw up a contract, and I'll only agree after you sign it and it becomes effective."
The system seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
[Requesting a time halt from the main system, giving the host sufficient time to understand the book's contents.]
Time stopped, and Xia Wan looked at the people who were just alive and well, who had all turned into a group of paper cutouts.
While the system had Xia Wan sign the contract, it also introduced the contents of the book to her.
[Host, this book is called "The Spoiled Boss's Daily Pampering". The male lead, Zheng Minghuai, is the number one playboy in Lincheng. He is philandering and arrogant, but he only settles down after meeting the female lead, Xia Zhizhi. The two go through many dangers and finally get together...]
"Get to the point!" Xia Wan said impatiently.
She's been fawning over Zheng Minghuai for three years; doesn't she know what kind of person he is?
Okay, okay, let's get to the point.
The system dared not provoke her again, fearing that she might get upset and cause him to be demoted again.
With the system's introduction, Xia Wan gained a general understanding of Cui Ziqi's life.
He was originally an illegitimate son of the Cui family. He lost his mother when he was five years old and was taken back home by the Cui family to participate in the inhumane scientific research project that the Cui family had just invested in.
Three years later, the project failed, and Cui Ziqi was tortured beyond recognition, her mind twisted.
The Cui family disliked him and sent him to an orphanage.
He was ostracized and bullied by the other children in the neighborhood because of his eccentric personality.
One day, he was buried in a mound of earth on the back hill by a group of children.
When Xia Zhizhi was a child, she lived nearby with her mother and happened to save Cui Ziqi.
Cui Ziqi fell in love with Xia Zhiyi at first sight.
He was later taken back to the Cui family and never saw the female lead again.
According to the plot development in the book, Cui Ziqi has already found Xia Zhizhi at this time.
But then she discovered that Xia Zhizhi had fallen for Zheng Minghuai.
In the original book, he should have first deliberately approached Xia Zhizhi, and only after failing to win her heart did he resort to the imprisonment tactic.
Now, something seems to have gone wrong, and he's suddenly gone mad, wanting to kill Zheng Minghuai first.
[Host, due to the increased difficulty of the mission, the main system has divided the mission into ninety-nine smaller tasks to help you complete it.]
[Your first task is to stop the male supporting character from killing the male lead. You have three minutes.]
Time restarts.
The world of paper cutout characters comes alive.
Xia Wan watched helplessly as Cui Ziqi's lifeless eyes filled with murderous intent, and panicked instantly.
"Damn system! At least give me some time to think of a solution!"
He was about to press the trigger with his long, slender fingers.
Xia Wan's heart skipped a beat, her mind went blank, and she shouted:
"Big Radish, don't you remember me? I was the one who dug you out of the dirt when you were little!"
Cui Ziqi stopped abruptly, frowning and looking at Xia Wan in shock.
