Tonight was the monthly maritime ball held by the aristocracy of Huacheng.
It could still be called a ball before, but now it might as well be called a selection ceremony for consorts. No one knew when it started, but various celebrities from the entertainment industry began attending. If someone took a liking to them, their stardom would naturally shine even brighter.
However, this time there was also an unfamiliar guest.
Dressed in a white gown, her slender waist seemingly graspable with one hand, her features delicate and so beautiful it was hard to look away, the light and shadow fell upon her brow, revealing an almost cold serenity.
Yet, her heart was in turmoil.
“System, which one is the male lead! You’ve been trying to figure it out all day! Can you be a bit more reliable!” Ji Xueli said impatiently.
That’s right, she had transmigrated into a book.
Transmigrating into a book was terrifying.
But even more terrifying was transmigrating into a book whose title she didn’t even know. And even worse, the system bound to her was equally clueless…
It didn’t even know who the male lead was!
The original host was named Ji Xueli, the only daughter of the Ji family, one of the four great aristocratic families of Huacheng. Yet, she had entered the entertainment industry. In the book, she was the male lead’s white moonlight. The reason the white moonlight became the white moonlight was because she abandoned him when he loved her the most.
The system was also called the Female Supporting Character System, which, as the name implied, was about climbing the ranks—a task so cliché it couldn’t be more cliché.
But this system seemed like it was on its first day at work. Apart from the original host’s name, it knew nothing else, completely unaware of the male lead’s appearance or name.
In the book, after she left, the male lead met the female lead. Like most CEO novels, the female lead was a resilient and pure little white flower from a poor family, and the male lead was gradually drawn to her step by step.
As everyone knew, the male and female leads in CEO novels never get together smoothly, which is why she, the white moonlight female supporting character, existed.
“Don’t rush, let me scan for a moment.” The system was also a bit flustered. There had been some issues in the system world, causing almost all the data to be wiped clean…
It had chosen Ji Xueli because she was dead and easy to control…
“I found him! Look up at the second floor, the one in the black suit in the middle. He’s definitely the male lead.” The system’s voice was excited.
Ji Xueli looked over. Among the crowd, the man’s height and appearance were too outstanding, and her eyes immediately landed on him. He stood there, holding a wine glass.
His face could be described as peerlessly handsome, cold and noble. His eyes lowered as he looked down, surveying the crowd like an emperor overlooking his subjects.
“This imperial and noble aura, definitely the male lead.” The system’s confident voice rang out.
For some reason, Ji Xueli found it hard to look away.
Perhaps because she stared for too long, the person on the second floor noticed her gaze and casually glanced over, his eyes carrying the natural coldness of someone in a superior position.
“You’re sure he’s the male lead? Then why is he looking at me with such a cold expression…” Ji Xueli instinctively averted her gaze, feeling a hint of fear in her heart.
“You abandoned him, so it’s normal. You know, the so-called ‘chasing the wife… no, chasing the husband through hell.’ Trust me, when has this system ever made a mistake?” The system guaranteed confidently.
“…”
She really didn’t dare trust it, considering it didn’t even know the male lead’s name…
But since things had come to this, she could only follow the system’s instructions.
“Qing Yu, what are you looking at?” The person beside him noticed him glancing downstairs and followed his gaze, his eyes widening slightly in surprise.
“Wow! Ji Xueli! When did she come back?” Cheng Du exclaimed, looking at the beautiful and familiar face.
Ji Xueli… Duan Qingyu lightly tapped the railing with his fingertips. The name sounded somewhat familiar…
Cheng Du thought he couldn’t remember and volunteered, “The only daughter of the Ji family. We used to play together when we were kids, though we stopped later… But she’s Ji Yanzhou’s ex-girlfriend, so you must know her now.”
“Three years have passed, and she’s finally willing to return to the country.” Cheng Du chuckled, then shouted loudly, “Ji Xueli!”
This shout made everyone around look over. After all, they all knew the Ji family’s reputation, not to mention she was once a top star in the entertainment industry at its peak. Later, she went abroad for further studies and faded from the scene.
But why would she appear here…
Ji Xueli, who was hesitating about how to approach the male lead, suddenly heard someone loudly calling her name. She looked up—it was the person next to the male lead.
“Come up here.” Cheng Du waved to her.
Truly, success came without effort. Without a second thought, Ji Xueli lifted her skirt and went up to the second floor.
She was up there now, but the question arose—who was that person…
