The story of how Yu Xiaoyu became the system’s chosen one was really a dog-blood tale.
A month ago, the magazine where Yu Xiaoyu worked closed down due to poor profitability. With a resigned air, she returned home with all her belongings in her arms, just in time to bump into her boyfriend tossing and turning with another woman in the big bed that she had saved money to buy.
Truthfully, it was very obvious whether a man liked you or not, but Yu Xiaoyu had made a mistake that women often made, and that was that she believed the lies she told herself.
The unexplainable coldness, the secret phone calls in the toilet, and the extremely half-hearted bedroom times were all signs that pointed to her boyfriend having a change of heart. Yet she continued to lie to herself with such lame excuses like he was busy with work or possibly tired, and ultimately she was slapped in the face with the truth.
It was in this state of disorientation that she was struck and killed by the car of a drunk-driver.
As her soul floated to the heavens, she could still hear the shrill sound of the ambulance and the dismayed gasps of good-hearted passers-by on the ground.
And so she continued to float upwards and upwards until she finally heard a voice: “Are you willing to accept a chance to start again?”
At first Yu Xiaoyu was reluctant to accept it, what was the point of doing it all over again? It was merely one cycle of the many, one where the same mistakes were repeated over and over.
At this point the voice said again, “Do you really not want a start over? It’s a well and truly fresh start, you no longer have to be Yu Xiaoyu and you can choose to have a different life.”
No longer have to be Yu Xiao yu?
These words somehow hit Yu Xiaoyu in the heart, she really didn’t want to be herself, not at all.
Somehow, this sentence seemed to resonate deep within Yu Xiaoyu’s heart, honestly, she no longer wanted to be herself again, not the least bit.
Her eyes lit up and so she pressed the accept button and from that moment on, she became the world-hopping executor for the Smut Male Lead basic personality traits test.
The job had been going well at first, at best she only needed to as a matchmaker at best, matching up various male and female leads, then carrying a small stool she would enjoy the live sex together with the Lord System. Finally she was also able to watch as Smut novels that completed their diagnostic tests would transform into comics and be heavily discussed by netizens.
Yet, from the last task onwards, the current process seemed less smooth than before.
Yu Xiaoyu didn’t know why, and the Lord System told her that there was probably something wrong at the headquarters.
Yu Xiaoyu did not fully believe this answer, and this time the president’s, semi=awakening, was enough to let Yu Xiaoyu break out into a cold sweat. If all these males leads were to one day know that they were merely a part of a system, then who knows what might happen?
Yu Xiaoyu continued to think of nonsense as she silently followed the female lead’s car.
When work ended today, the female lead had boarded a taxi to who knows where.
Yu Xiaoyu continued to follow her, she needed to find a way to make the female lead climb into the president’s bed, and there would definitely be a price to pay.
The more Yu Xiaoyu thought about her scum of a cheating boyfriend, the more her heart sank. She had no idea just how or when her feelings for the president had become so deep.
Her mind was full of the president’s gentle and flexible lips, his big hands that left sparks all over her, even his lower body’s … Yu Xiaoyu vigorously shook her head, forcing herself to keep her attention on the female lead who was seated inside the taxi.
The taxi stopped at the beach, the female lead got out of the car and the taxi drove away.
Yu Xiaoyu also stopped the car in a secluded place, got out of it and crouched behind a large rock on the beach.
The female lead faced the sea breeze, her long seaweed-like hair blew into the shape of a banner, when the female lead suddenly smiled and said, “Come out ba.” Yu Xiaoyu knew that the words were addressed to herself and she could only step out from behind the rock and stand in front of the female lead.
The female lead laughed and said, “I’ve loved him for a long time,”
Yu Xiaoyu was slightly stunned, this was different from the script, the one which stated that they were supposed to meet only today.
“But he never knew I existed, and if it hadn’t been for you, my plan would have worked today.”
What she was saying was not wrong either, if not for the appearance of Yu Xiaoyu, the president would have fallen in love with the female lead at first sight today and fallen deeply in love.
The female lead pulled out a tiny pistol from her satchel, smiled and pointed it at Yu Xiaoyu, saying, “I’m a mad person, I’m madly in love with him, but he’s a fool and doesn’t know one bit of my intentions at all.”
The safety was free and the smile on the female lead’s lips deepened, “As for you, you’re a pain in the ass, so you might as well just go die.”
The female lead’s smile made Yu Xiaoyu’s mind fly back to the news articles that she had seen about the female lead. About how she was an orphan and that all the families she spent time in would wind up shattered. This huge flow of information made fear well up in Yu Xiaoyu’s heart.
“Sorry about this,” the female lead said with a smile.
The speed of a bullet is three hundred meters per minute. Suddenly a silhouette fell from the sky, and pushed Yu Xiaoyu to one side. When Yu Xiaoyu came back to her senses, she saw that the president’s handsome face was white as white paper, a streak of blood was trickling down from the corner of his mouth, and a huge hole was where his heart was.
At that moment, Yu Xiaoyu’s eyes suddenly went dark and a system ticking sound came to her ears, “System anomaly, system anomaly.”
When the busy tone ended, Yu Xiaoyu opened her eyes to a bright light. She sat up violently from the bed, only to see layers of drapery hanging down from the large mahogany bed beam above her.
Yu Xiaoyu asked in her mind, “How is Ye ZhiYang doing?”
Ye ZhiYang was the president’s name, Yu Xiaoyu had never dared to call him like that before, and she had never thought that the first time she did would actually be in such a situation.
The Lord System replied, “Dead.”
“Dead?”
“Yeah.”
“How could this happen? How could this happen ……” Yu Xiaoyu murmured, blinking her confused eyes in disbelief, she did not dare to think that a man who had just been kissing her one second ago was dead the next moment.
“New mission begins.” Beep….
Without answering Yu Xiaoyu’s question, the lord system downloaded the full folder of information of the second mission by himself.
But Yu Xiaoyu did not lift her eyes to look at it, instead, she buried her head in the pillow and cried like a child.
