End of the article
The system saw with its own eyes that the halos of the male and female protagonists gradually disappeared, becoming dim and empty, and they were no different from any random passerby in the small world.
The damn thing is, "Lin Cha" has been trapped in an infinite copy of a higher dimension for two months, and he has no way to rescue him.
The system jumps up and down——
"It's shortening my life!"
"The world is going to end!"
No, no, no…
The system suddenly remembered that there was another way!
If the male lead isn't good enough, let's just change him. If he and the female lead have a happy ending, it can barely be considered a good ending!
The male characters in the novel, apart from the former He Yunji... there is also Chen Zui!
Chen Zui has a clean family background and comes from a wealthy family. He has made a name for himself in the entertainment industry with his own abilities and is now a triple-Award winner. He is worthy of being the hero of the novel and can definitely save Lin Churou!
The system hurried to find Chenzui.
As a result, the most suitable male protagonist for the novel that he was thinking about was now in the executive suite of a hotel in Hengcheng, giving Lin Cha a massage.
Literally a massage.
However, the system's emoji face turned red instantly because of the intimate actions of the two.
"It's already this late, what are you still doing here for fun?"
The system hadn't concealed its presence from Shen Zui. To help him become a movie star and eventually lure Lin Churou into the film industry, the system had put considerable effort into sending him into Lin Cha's world. Therefore, Chen Zui already knew everything about Lin Cha and the system.
At this moment, the system didn't bother to greet Shen Zui, but floated in front of him, asking him for help.
"Please, please! Just having a relationship with Lin Churou shouldn't be a big deal for you, right?"
Chenzui's eyelids jumped, and he took Lin Cha into his arms, "Impossible, I already have Lin Cha."
"Can't you just help me?" The system didn't expect this human being to be so unkind.
"Isn't He Yunji the male lead?" Lin Cha asked curiously, "You want to replace He Yunji?"
The system sighed.
"He was originally the male lead... Losing 51% of the company's shares might be a career low for the male lead, but since he's the male lead, with his aura, he's sure to make a comeback!"
"Who knew he would actually refuse to fulfill his promise to Lu Yanyan!"
A sense of responsibility is something that is ingrained in He Yunji. It is precisely because of this sense of responsibility that Lin Churou was able to snatch He Yunji from Lu Yanyan.
But when the former male protagonist goes against his original character and becomes irresponsible, the world will no longer favor him.
He Yunji is handsome, talented, and has business talent and brains. But even so, how can a man who is untrustworthy and irresponsible be the male protagonist?
"Lin Churou... must have similar problems," Lin Cha said again.
Regardless of what she had done before, the fact that Lu Yanyan caught her cheating was enough to make Lin Churou suffer.
Can the mistress who seduces someone else's fiancé really become the heroine?
"This..." The system was confused.
"Return of the Daughter" is a novel with Lin Churou as the protagonist. The small world appeared because of her. Even He Yunji is just a vassal here. Of course, the world favors her a little more.
"If Lin Churou is not the heroine, then the new heroine can only be chosen from other characters in the novel. She must be honest and kind, have clear goals, and have the possibility of achieving them. In addition, she must go through a series of difficulties to reach the end... How can it be so easy!" The system spread its hands helplessly.
Lin Cha recalled the halo that appeared on Lu Yanyan on the last day of the variety show recording.
"Young Miss, can't you do that? She's beautiful, will become the richest person in Hai City in three years, and she's kind-hearted..."
The "Kindhearted" system stared at Lin Cha with wide eyes. "What misunderstanding do you have about Lu Yanyan? The eldest lady is not kind-hearted, she's just particularly nice to you!"
The system muttered, "I don't know what kind of luck you have. Even after your secrets were revealed, they still surround you..."
He lowered his eyes in intoxication, without opening his mouth, but only came up with an idea in his mind.
"Maybe I can help you."
The system keenly captured the voice of his heart and communicated with Shen Zui through thoughts.
"What can I do?"
Chenzui's gaze shifted downwards to look at Lin Cha, who was leisurely lying on the bed, eating strawberries and reciting the script.
The system understood instantly.
He subconsciously retorted, but before he could say anything, he saw a faint light emerging from Lin Cha's body.
If you don't support the heroine, then the supporting actress will take the route of counterattack. Lin Cha went from being an 18th-tier actress who was disliked by everyone to becoming a movie queen later in life, which can be considered a successful counterattack for the supporting actress.
Moreover, she has found love. She also has a firm goal - to return to her own world. In the end, as long as she returns to her own world after becoming a movie queen, her goal will be achieved.
Chen Zui continued, "Lin Cha's storyline is complete and meets your requirements."
But the system still couldn't accept it. Lin Cha was just a passerby that he and "Lin Cha" secretly brought in to make extra money, so how could she be the heroine? Is it so easy to be the heroine now?
Lin Cha has done so many bad things in the past, she is not a good person at all!
But apart from Lin Cha, the system couldn't find any other way, and it was obviously more difficult to make Chen Zui fall in love with Lin Churou.
In desperation, the system could only try to bind Lin Cha to the female supporting role counterattack system.
The result is not known until you try it...it works after you try it
Moreover, the completion rate has reached 90%!
…
When Lin Cha looked up, he saw that he had bound to another system.
She tilted her head and said in a rude tone, "What the hell is this female supporting role counterattack system?"
"Hehehe!" The system's attitude changed instantly, its tone becoming flattering. "We're letting you be the heroine! Haven't you noticed that after binding to this system, the world has become much more stable?"
Lin Cha: “…”
"It's just becoming the best actress!" the system coaxed. "You're a triple-Award winner in your world, so this won't be a problem for you! Once you win the best actress award in our world, you can return to yours!"
Lin Cha looked at the 90% progress bar on the female supporting character's counterattack system, and then looked at Chen Zui who was holding the script and chuckling beside him.
Lin Cha took a deep breath and said, "What if I don't win the Best Actress award?" She saw that after she said this, Chenzui's hand holding the script trembled slightly.
"Then you can't leave!"
The system argued, "You have to see things through to the end! Of course, your mission of turning the tables on the supporting actress is only complete when you win Best Actress!"
"The Unrighteous World has stabilized, and there's no time limit for the mission. If you don't want to go back..." The system looked at Chen Zui, then at Lin Cha, and chuckled, "You can keep dragging it out for a few years until you get tired of it, and then you can take the Best Actress award."
"In short, the day you win the Best Actress award is the day you leave this world!"

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Cha had the first meal after the New Year with the crew of "Song of Falling Flowers", asked for leave from Director Wei, and set off for Hai City.
"Painted Bones" is scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival and will be released online at 12 noon on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
This is twelve hours later than other Spring Festival films. But Sun Qianqian believes that the cast and crew deserve a good New Year too. The film premieres at 12:00 PM on New Year's Day, everyone eats their first meal after the New Year, pays New Year's greetings, and burns incense at temples. Then, in the afternoon, it's almost time to go to the cinema to watch "Painted Bones."
The industry is not optimistic about the operation of "Painted Bones". In addition, "Painted Bones" does not have the festive and family-friendly elements of the Spring Festival. They generally believe that "Painted Bones" is not suitable for the Spring Festival period.
Even so, the creative team including Lin Cha, Fang Yueyao, Chen Zui, Director Feng, Sun Qianqian and others still decided to broadcast "Painted Bones" during the Spring Festival and attend the premiere at the Haishi Starlight Cinema.
No one expected that the latecomer "Painted Bones" would explode at the box office after its three-hour premiere.
Facts have proved that neither subject matter nor time is a factor that limits the work. The only thing that really limits the work is quality.
[“Painted Bones” is really good! The plot and texture are super good! Fang Yueyao is really beautiful in it! The intoxicated immortal is also super handsome!]
[Lin Cha's performance was also good. I didn't expect her performance to be so good in her first film! I only realized later that she was the villain!]
[Luckily, I chose Painted Bones as my first movie for the Spring Festival! I'm already planning a second viewing. Any friends coming with me?]
[I wonder if there will be a second season! I'm really looking forward to it!]
…
"Painted Bone" has received rave reviews online. The Maoyan app initially estimated the film's box office at only 1 billion yuan, but after three days of release, the estimate has been continuously raised and has now exceeded 5 billion yuan!
On the day when the box office officially exceeded 5 billion and became the top 1 box office in the Chinese film industry, Sun Qianqian specially held a fan meeting to thank every audience who supported "Painted Bones".
After the meeting, Lin Cha saw Liu Mingqian backstage.
After the eighth episode of the variety show "Leisure Life" ended, she joined Director Wei's crew. So it seems that she hasn't seen Liu Mingqian for more than two months.
"Teacher Liu!" Lin Cha greeted Liu Mingqian with a smile. "Long time no see! I saw your review of 'Painted Bones' on Weibo. Thank you very much."
"It's mainly because you act well," Liu Mingqian said sincerely. He recalled recommending Lin Cha to guest star in "Painted Bones" as if it were just yesterday.
"By the way," Liu Mingqian returned to the topic and explained his original intention in looking for Lin Cha. "I'm currently preparing a science fiction disaster film. Are you interested?"
"Science fiction disaster film" Sun Qianqian smelled the scent of money and came up to him, "Director Liu, didn't you specialize in making art films? Now you want to switch back to making commercial films?"
Liu Mingqian narrowed his eyes slightly. "It's not like business and art can't be combined. I want to give it a try."
Sun Qianqian understood what Liu Mingqian meant. "Looks like there's going to be another award-winning production next year! Have you found investors yet? Director Liu, please include me when you're looking for investment!"
Liu Mingqian smiled and nodded, then looked at Lin Cha expectantly.
"So, Cha Cha, are you interested in joining my crew as the female lead?"
*
Lin Cha did not agree to Liu Mingqian immediately.
After regaining her memory, she has become more picky about choosing scripts than before. Even though she is not a movie queen yet, she will not choose repetitive roles.
It was the same in the past and it is the same now.
It took her two days to read Liu Mingqian's script during the filming of "Song of Falling Flowers".
A sci-fi disaster film, packed with buffs, full of dangers yet filled with hope. With Lin Cha's years of film and television experience, she knew this was a surefire award-winning piece.
Similarly, the female protagonist in the film was someone she had never encountered before.
The only problem was what the system said to her some time ago.
—— “In short, the day you win the Best Actress award is the day you leave this world.”
After hearing these words, Lin Cha remained silent for a long time while looking at the dialog box between him and Liu Mingqian.
…
Not far away, Lu Yanyan brought her team to visit the set of "Song of Falling Flowers". Director Wei was kind enough to let all the crew members take a half-hour break and have afternoon tea together.
Lu Yanyan sat next to Shen Zui and handed him a cup of coffee without sugar or milk.
"I know about you and Cha Cha. If Cha Cha starred in Director Liu's movie, with her ability, she would most likely win an award. If she wins, she will have no choice but to leave. You really want her to star in it?"
The intoxicated fingers gently stroked the wall of the cup, and the cold coffee liquid seeped out through the thin plastic cup wall.
"It's impossible for her to never play the leading female role in her life."
"Maybe I can act less seriously," Lu Yanyan thought, holding her chin. "I can get 70 or 80 points for my acting and perform at a nomination level."
Shenzui laughed, "This matter is controllable in your eyes."
Lu Yanyan: "Is it not possible? It's about acting. It's hard to act well, but it's even harder to act badly."
Chen Zui raised his head and looked at Lin Cha. After a long moment, he said calmly, "She won't. If she doesn't take acting seriously, she won't be Lin Cha anymore."
The topic of whether Lin Cha will become the female lead in Liu Mingqian's movie and whether she will take acting seriously ends here.
Half an hour later, Lu Yanyan received a message from Liu Mingqian that Lin Cha had agreed to participate.
——Lu Yanyan is one of the investors in Liu Mingqian’s new film, so it is easy for her to get this inside information.
Lu Yanyan sighed deeply. "This movie will start shooting in two months. From the start of shooting, post-production, release, and awards, you won't have much time."
Chen Zui couldn't tell whether Lu Yanyan was gloating or worried, so he deliberately changed the subject, "What's the point of talking about us? How are you doing recently?"
"I," Lu Yanyan said, leisurely drinking her American coffee, revealing her slender and beautiful neck, "I am a woman so poor that I only have money left. How can I not live well?"
He Yunji is not a man of his word, but Mr. He is a man of his word. He has gradually transferred the real estate and companies under the name of the He Group to Lu Yanyan, making up for the debt that He Yunji owed to Lu Yanyan.
Chen Zui smiled lightly, "You know what I mean. You have awakened to the plot, so it is impossible for you not to know Lu Yanche's feelings for you."
Lu Yanyan was speechless.
She didn't know it before, but now she has to know it even if she doesn't want to know.
Lu Yanyan remembered that on New Year's Eve, her whole family celebrated the New Year happily in a manor on the outskirts of the city as they did in the past.
After dinner, Lu Yanyan received the first payment from Mr. He in addition to the shares. At the same time, she saw Lu Yanche walking towards him.
Lu Yanche confessed his feelings to her.
Lu Yanyan couldn't help but think of herself in her dream.
In the dream, she was desperate for a man and turned from a darling into a despised supporting actress, just because she fell in love with a man, which made her lose herself.
So, in this life, she just wants to live for herself.
"Brother is fine," Lu Yanyan said softly, "but from the moment I became conscious, brother has been brother. Our beginnings destined us to remain this way."
Lu Yanyan never felt that there was anything wrong with losing He Yunji or rejecting Lu Yanche. As a female supporting character in a novel, does her ending have to be to be torn apart and slapped in the face by the heroine and to make a miserable exit, or to get a man to achieve love success?
Love is not the ultimate goal for women.

Liu Mingqian’s new movie is called "Time Traveler". It took a full two years from filming, post-production to release.
As soon as the film was released, it quickly broke the records set by "Painted Bones" and won various awards.
Liu Mingqian used his strength to prove that business and art can coexist, and that people's joys and sorrows are also connected to some extent.
As the heroine of the film, Lin Cha gave a remarkable performance and was nominated for multiple awards.
The closest one is the Hundred Flowers Awards at the end of the year.
On the day of the Hundred Flowers Awards, when Lin Cha appeared in front of everyone again in a haute couture dress, everyone's impression of her was no longer that of a variety show star, an 18th-tier unknown, or a female artist who was trying to gain popularity.
"Lin Cha, she's an actress."
"She has used classic works such as 'Painted Bones', 'Song of Fallen Flowers' and 'Time Traveler' to interpret different lives, proving her ability."
At the party, the lights were flashing.
Lin Cha held up the hem of her dress and walked onto the award ceremony stage step by step.
Her classic crying scene in "Time Traveler" was played on the huge LED screen, and this scene made everyone in the cinema cry.
And intoxicated, standing in front of the huge LED.
It is reasonable for the best actor to present the award to the new best actress.
"congratulations."
Chenzui handed the trophy to Lin Cha.
"Thanks."
The moment Lin Cha received the trophy, the choice that had appeared before appeared again. In his ears, he heard the emotionless and indifferent voice of the system.
"Completed the female supporting role's counterattack system goal: Becoming a movie queen."
"You only have one chance to choose whether to leave and return to your own world."
There was thunderous applause at the scene, and every guest attending the party was congratulating the young film queen.
But Lin Cha looked at Chen Zui and asked seriously, "What do you want me to choose?"
Shenzui smiled gently, and the sound of her voice was like the spring breeze, moistening everything silently.
"I hope your choice is true to yourself and not influenced by anyone, including me."
Lin Cha stared at Chenzui for a long time.
Until the floating words around her began to become transparent and gradually disappeared, until the options urging her to make a choice began to flash.
Lin Cha took a step forward and hugged Chen Zui tightly.
"Chenzui, I'm very happy to have traveled here."
"I'm also very happy to meet you again."
*
As the world spun, Lin Cha's vision went dark. When she opened her eyes again, it was already daytime.
She returned to the crew at the gate of the former Agricultural College.
Sister Zhang, the director and others gathered around and looked at her worriedly.
"Chacha, are you okay?"
"Why did you faint?"
"That car just drove by, I thought there was a car accident!"
Lin Cha struggled to his feet and looked around. It was early summer, and the trees at the entrance to the campus were lush and green, with cicadas chirping cheerfully.
"I...what's wrong?"
"What's wrong?" Sister Zhang scolded him rudely. "Just now, you suddenly fainted while filming. I was scared to death! The accompanying doctor said you have low blood sugar. Have you been dieting and not eating again?"
Lin Cha scratched the back of his head. Was it because of low blood sugar?
Yes, how fast can a large truck in the city go? The so-called feeling of a car accident was probably just a trick the system used to fool her.
Thinking of that world...
Lin Cha's nose suddenly felt sore and tears fell unconsciously.
fraud!
You lied to me till the end!
Sister Zhang looked at Lin Cha in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
Lin Cha took a deep breath, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and shook her head. "Nothing."
She then asked, "Sister Zhang, do I have any other plans after this movie?"
Sister Zhang opened Lin Cha's schedule and said, "No, you don't appear on variety shows, and you don't like fan meetings. Besides filming, what else do you have on your schedule?"
"Is that so?" Lin Cha suddenly realized. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Then after I finish filming this movie, give me a two-month vacation. I want to travel and relax."
Sister Zhang nodded, "Okay."
*
It was two months later when the filming was finished.
Sister Zhang thought Lin Cha was just talking at the time, and found a lot of scripts for Lin Cha. As a result, the day after the filming was completed, Lin Cha changed into sportswear, packed his luggage, and prepared to go traveling.
Downstairs in the community, Sister Zhang looked at Lin Cha's clothes with a serious expression.
"There's absolutely nothing wrong with traveling, and you should go and relax, but... isn't a road trip too much? Don't you have any idea how good your driving is?"
Sister Zhang's voice roared throughout the community.
Lin Cha sat in the driver's seat, his head cringing. "The traffic police said it all! The last car accident was clearly caused by Chen Zui! And I've been practicing since then! There's no doubt it'll be fine this time!"
Picking up a man in a car accident is a good thing if it happens once, how can it happen twice?
Lin Cha agreed deeply.
But half an hour after she was on the road, sure enough... she got into another car accident.
Lin Tea:
This is a ghost
That person definitely showed up on his own just now!
Are there so many people who try to scam people these days?
Lin Cha got out of the car in a hurry. He only remembered that he saw the other person wearing a thin T-shirt and looking very young. He just hoped that he would not bump into the flowers of the motherland.
When Lin Cha walked around to the front of the car, she saw the "poor guy" who was hit by her.
Lin Cha's head buzzed with a thud.
If there is a first time, there will surely be a second time.
Lin Cha's mind went blank, and she only heard the pleasant voice of the man opposite her.
"You bumped into me," Chen Zui laughed, "So, Miss Lin, shouldn't you be responsible?"
Lin Cha forgot to answer and walked to Chen Zui with heavy steps.
This time he was not seriously injured, just a slight scrape on his knee, and he was sitting on the ground purely to try to scam people.
Lin Cha took out the medicine box from the back of the car and carefully applied medicine and bandaged Shen Zui's wound. Shen Zui also looked at her patiently, without saying a word.
It was not until the bandage was completed that Lin Cha looked up and Chenzui saw that her eyes were red and her face was covered with tears.
Chen Zui was helpless and raised his hand to wipe away the tears on Lin Cha's face. "Why are you crying? I'm fine. Or are you unhappy that I came here?"
Lin Cha's eyes sharpened, and he suddenly asked a completely unrelated question, "There are no choices in this world, right? All choices have only one outcome."
Chenzui's hand that wiped away his tears froze, and he looked at Lin Cha in surprise, "How did you know?"
"As expected," Lin Cha laughed at himself and then asked, "How would I know... then how would you know?"
He choked with intoxication. He instantly understood something, and looked at Lin Cha with only doting and helplessness, reaching out and gently rubbing her head.
*
Lin Cha always thought that he was rational in his emotions.
Whether choosing to be with Shen Zui or deciding to find Shen Zui, she felt that these behaviors might be crazy, but in the end they were reasonable.
Only, on the day when the system opens the return channel.
Lin Cha felt that she was probably crazy.
She knew countless times that she wanted to go back, and she had been working hard for it, pursuing her original goal. Before the awards ceremony, she was 100% sure that she would go back.
But the moment the system opened a channel for her to go home, she backed off.
"Completed the female supporting role's counterattack system goal: Becoming a movie queen."
"You only have one chance to choose whether to leave and return to your own world."
Lin Cha hugged Chenzui tightly, and she chose "no".
I only have one chance to choose.
But I want to stay.
As the world spun, Lin Cha was terrified of her own crazy behavior, but she never regretted it.
But she didn't stay.
She went back.
At that moment, Lin Cha remembered what she had to do after she bound herself to the female supporting role's counterattack system.
Winning the Best Actress trophy was not the end of her career as a leading actress; it just represented her successful comeback.
Her original goal was to return to her own world, so her final destination was also to return to her own world.
There must be a beginning and an end. Only in this way can she truly become the heroine who can keep the world running.
And she is like this, what about the intoxication at the beginning?
The system sent Chen Zui to another world so that he could learn acting skills and come back to become Lin Churou's guide. So, how could the system allow Chen Zui to stay in another world?
There has never been a choice.
The moment the option appears, the outcome is already determined.
*
Lin Cha frowned and bit Chenzui's shoulder tightly, leaving clear teeth marks on his thin shoulder.
"Why didn't you tell me so that I could leave with a clear conscience?"
Chenzui didn't feel any pain, he just reached out and rubbed Lin Cha's head.
"At first, I was the one who provoked you."
"So, it should be me who comes to you, right?"
