Before binding with the system, Gu Xia was a vicious female cannon fodder—so vicious it was off the charts. She did all the terrible things to bully the heroine!

But after binding with the “Vicious Cannon Fodder Self-Rescue System,” Gu Xia awakened!

She stopped doing the self-destructive things that came with bullying the heroine and had a complete change of heart:

When the heroine got caught in the rain, she held an umbrella for her;

When the heroine was in trouble, she rushed to the rescue;

When the heroine was tired, she offered her a pillow!

When the real heiress heroine was found by her wealthy family and brought back to the noble house, Gu Xia let out a long sigh of relief.

She had finally escaped the tragic fate that awaited every cannon fodder character: ruined family, destroyed reputation, and even getting “boxed” (killed off) and chopped into pieces by the male lead!

However, just when Gu Xia thought she was safe, the heroine—now returned to her rightful identity as the wealthy family’s heiress—came to find her.

She pulled out a diamond ring and proposed.

“Gu Xia, I’ve always liked you,” the heroine confessed deeply.

…Wait a minute, something’s not right!

Why did the heroine fall in love with her?!

Song Zhijin worked herself dizzy and fainted from hunger. In a stroke of misfortune, she fell into a river—and was reborn more than ten years into the past.

The good news: she’s now strong, beautiful, and young—she has all the advantages of youth!

The bad news: her family is bankrupt, and the canary she ghosted and dumped in her previous life has come clinging back!

That face she used to love to death now corners her against the wall. One hand lifts her chin, eyes misty, voice pressing hard:

“Jiejie, why did you abandon me?”

Startled out of her wits, Song Zhijin reflexively slaps her.

But instead of getting angry, Jiang Lian lowers her gaze with a soft smile, pressing her cheek into Song Zhijin’s palm, voice full of tender sweetness:

“Jiejie, if you’re angry… it means you still care about me.”

—

As she cautiously mends their delicate, on-thin-ice relationship, Song Zhijin finally becomes Jiang Lian’s girlfriend.

But one morning, Jiang Lian suddenly wakes up—with the memories from ten years in the future restored.

Panicked, Song Zhijin turns to the internet for help:

Help! My ex-girlfriend lost her memory and we got back together… but now she suddenly remembers why I dumped her in the first place! What do I do? Asking online—urgent!

Replies (99+):

“OP… you’re on your own. Good luck!”

“My name is Luo Ling.”

“I’m just an ordinary high school student.”

“I always thought so, until one day… I got sick.”

“After getting sick, the world seemed to become a little different…”

The girl muttered to herself, standing before a grotesque being that was only half there. In her hand, she held the other half of the grotesque being, slowly bringing it to her mouth.

Grotesque beings disguised as humans are running rampant, flesh-eating demons cry out in anguish, and a mournful songstress chants softly, awakening something dormant in the void.

“No one can escape this.”

“No… one.”

[Dual Female Leads + Time Travel + Crazy/Unhinged + Coercion + Rebellion + Super Sweet Later On]

A cold, unhinged, and mature heiress & a pure and unique sweet university girl, Lin Wei:

"Student Mi, you can't escape!"

Mi Yuan: "Teacher Lin, you can't catch me!"

Lin Wei encounters Mi Yuan by chance while acting as a designated driver. She lures her into her home, and from then on, things spiral out of control.

Mi Yuan wants to break free from the control of the crazy Lin Wei, but Lin Wei refuses to let go.

Yet, as the chase continues… it unexpectedly turns into true love!

Ling Yu loves Gu Qing, and everyone knows that her love is both cheap and foolish.

She treats herself like a stone under Gu Qing’s feet, moving wherever needed.

On graduation day, it rained heavily.

Ling Yu’s hands were frozen red, pitifully holding a hundred balloons, rushing into the auditorium.

In the crowd, Gu Qing appeared mature and alluring, her curves accentuated by the bachelor’s gown. She was surrounded by a group of boys and girls vying to confess their feelings to her.

Ling Yu called out to her: “Gu Qing…”

Gu Qing’s eyes were filled with disgust as she stared at her wet body, her tone laced with hidden anger: “Is this amusing? Ling Yu, I could never possibly like women.”

The auditorium was silent as a tomb; everyone thought Ling Yu would force a smile and shamelessly cling to Gu Qing.

However, no one heard it. In Ling Yu’s mind, the system prompt sounded: [Congratulations, host. The female supporting character’s plotline has been completed. Task reward: Natural Death.]

After Ling Yu completely disappeared from Gu Qing’s world.

One time at a bar, a friend asked Ling Yu, “If you liked a woman as cold and elegant as Gu Qing, would you find everyone else dull in comparison?”

“Liked?” Ling Yu casually swirled her wine glass, her tone nonchalant: “Having liked a stingy straight girl? I’ll let you know once I fall for her…”

That night, the fragmented, colorful lights of the bar danced across Ling Yu’s face. She was surrounded by admirers, living life to the fullest.

Gu Qing sat in the adjacent booth, clenching her fists tightly.

She’s bound to a poison arts system—if she wants to keep living, she has to keep poisoning people to exchange for life force.

Xu Lianqiao: “What am I supposed to do, living every day with the system constantly urging me to kill?”

Everything had been going smoothly—until she ran into a young divine doctor fresh out of Butterfly Valley: Feng Yuchen.

After failing for the 108th time, Xu Lianqiao glared angrily: “Spare me just once so I can poison someone, please?”

Feng Yuchen smiled gently, her eyes curved like a crescent moon, as she applied a silver needle: “No. I cure all illnesses, and I’ll treat you just the same.”

“Don’t believe me? Try for a lifetime.”

Xu Lianqiao: …

I harm people, you save people. Together we cancel each other out. Yin and yang in harmony, opposites attract, and Heaven rewards hard work.

[Cold and Sickly Master vs. Reborn Scheming Disciple Pretending to be Obedient]

As an elder of the Xuan Ying Sect, Bai Yunshu was as pure and refined as a spring breeze, untouched by worldly desires, dedicating herself to protecting all living beings.

But five hundred years ago, her cultivation was severed and she fell, her body taken and her soul wandering through the six realms in search of that one soul she cherished. She regretted never confessing her feelings, regretted living on alone.

Five hundred years later, they met again. Her heart had long since turned to obsession. She schemed with her own body as bait, feeding the fish she raised, all just to tie the other person to her side. Possessive, controlling, coaxing and deceiving—she guided her once-disciple step by step into her trap.

…After being reborn, Wei Ningzhu took the name Yin Huan and disguised herself as a weak, harmless little junior. Watching her increasingly dangerous master, she felt a chill in her heart and forced an awkward smile.

“I don’t want revenge anymore. Do you think I still have time to run?”

The chain behind her tightened, and a smiling voice came from right behind her.

“Lie! Be good, disciple, don’t make a sound.”

Now that you’ve delivered yourself to my door, do you think I’ll let you run away?

Wei Ningzhu was naturally rebellious, and when she truly couldn’t stand it anymore, she seized an opportunity to escape. Who would have thought her sickly master would go red-eyed in pursuit—grabbing, coaxing, and finally blackening completely to drag her back!

Huddled under the quilt, Wei Ningzhu accepted her fate. Forget it, she realized—this woman had gone mad five hundred years ago.

By day, she was the gentle and graceful Ying Feng Immortal Lord, admired by thousands.

By night, she smiled like a phantom, speaking with her disciple through the long hours, exchanging cultivation insights and heart-to-heart confessions.

“Good disciple, I beg you… don’t ever leave your master again…”

(Two female protagonists, this is not an autobiography)

My name is Xie Lian.

I planned a confession that I thought was touching and decided to say goodbye to my secret love.

Then, by mistake, I confessed to the wrong person.

After that, things developed in a direction I never expected - when everything was over, I suddenly felt that this was actually the best ending.

Paranoid gentle female ghost X lively and delicate little sun

Lin Mo got transported—not only tragically into a horror game but also captured by the dungeon boss and made her wife!

Lin Mo: Is there anyone in the world more unlucky than me?!

Although suddenly having a wife forced by love does have its perks, in this world, besides all the weird mutated creatures crawling everywhere, there’s no fried chicken or cola at all.

Lin Mo plans her escape again and again. But each time, Wen Yuhuai catches her and pulls her into her arms, her possessiveness and attachment almost overflowing.

“Lin Mo... you promised to love me first. No matter what it takes, you are not allowed to leave me!”

It turns out the two were lovers in a past life. Wen Yuhuai sacrificed everything just to see her again.

Because she had a huge argument with readers in the comment section, Gu Chufu tragically transmigrated into the very novel that made her gnash her teeth in hatred. And worse, she became the fox spirit villainess everyone in the book cursed and wanted dead—a pitiful cannon fodder destined for doom. Unwilling to fall or become just a pawn in the plot, she decided to cling tightly to the female lead’s thigh, who had both beauty and power and seemed like a golden cheat code!

But wait... the female lead isn’t that simple.

Why is she such a psycho?!

She pinned Gu Chufu against the wall, her expression dark and sinister, and asked:

"Junior sister, why won’t you become my Dao partner?"
