Her family background was ordinary. With her status and financial power, it would be nearly impossible for her to shake the relationship between the two of them. In her desperation, she came up with a risky plan—secure her position through a child.
If she became pregnant with the male lead’s child, he wouldn’t divorce her.
After that, the original host tried every possible way to seduce him, but it was all in vain. The story had a bizarre setting: the male lead could only respond to the female lead.
The original host panicked. She couldn’t possibly have a child on her own. If things continued like this, sooner or later Wen Yan would succeed in taking her place. In a moment of confusion and urgency, she came up with a foolish plan.
First, she drugged the male lead’s drink, pretending they had spent a passionate night together. Then, she secretly slept with one of the bodyguards in the house.
The original host had a body that was highly fertile. It didn’t take long before she got pregnant.
The male lead couldn’t remember what happened that night due to the drug, and there was no evidence. So everyone assumed the child she was carrying was his.
And thus, the female lead started causing trouble again. The male and female leads became entangled once more—one of those drawn-out conflicts that would take hundreds of chapters to resolve.
The original host only wanted to give birth to the child and use it to tie the male lead down. But unexpectedly, the bodyguard began blackmailing her, demanding a huge sum of hush money, threatening to expose everything otherwise.
This disgraceful relationship was soon brought into the open. The bodyguard confessed everything, and the original host was thoroughly humiliated and dealt with by the male and female leads.
She lost the child as well, which completely shattered her only hope.
From then on, her mental state deteriorated. She wandered the streets clutching a stuffed teddy bear, crying out, “My child, my child,” becoming a laughingstock.
After hearing the plot, Yun Li commented, “That’s insane.”
But it wasn’t a big problem—because before long, she herself would become that madwoman running around with a stuffed toy.
Everyone’s crazy anyway. Thinking about it like that, she felt a strange sense of calm.
“Huahua, do I have to follow the predetermined plot exactly?” she asked.
The question caught Huahua off guard. “All previous task-takers followed the plot, though…”
It wasn’t strange that Huahua was surprised.
In fact, these so-called mission worlds could be understood as novels or scripts. Task-takers entered these stories, took on assigned roles, and simply acted them out according to the given plot.
From the system’s perspective, the storyline was already laid out. All you had to do was follow it—no need to think too hard. Didn’t that make things easier?
Hearing this, Yun Li rephrased her question: “What are the key plot points I must complete?”
“Getting pregnant with another man’s child and cuckolding the male lead.”
Yun Li narrowed her eyes, spotting a loophole. “So the person I hook up with doesn’t have to be the bodyguard, right?”
Huahua blinked. “Huh??”
Yun Li smiled. “Alright, send me into the mission world.”
When she opened her eyes again, she had already arrived.
Before she could react, a large hand shoved her, and she fell heavily onto the soft bed behind her.
A man’s voice full of disgust came from above her.
“Shen Yunli, I’ve told you long ago—I only got engaged to you because you saved my grandfather’s life. I have no romantic feelings for you. I advise you to drop those improper thoughts!”
After learning that Fu Linchuan might still be entangled with Wen Yan, Shen Yunli decided to have a child with him to secure her position. Unfortunately, he refused to cooperate.
Dressed in a revealing nightgown, she tried to seduce him, but he remained unmoved.
Her gaze swept discreetly over his calm lower body. Shen Yunli’s eyes welled with tears, her expression pitiful.
“Linchuan, do you really feel nothing for me at all? I like you so much…”
Fu Linchuan didn’t answer. He gave her an impatient glance and walked out, slamming the door.
Once she was sure his footsteps had faded, Shen Yunli casually wiped away her tears. The vulnerability and deep affection in her eyes vanished instantly.
Pulling her loose nightgown back into place, she looked in the direction he left and sneered. “Useless.”
She was this beautiful and had even tried seducing him, yet he still had no reaction—what else could he be but useless?
Over time, Shen Yunli grew increasingly annoyed.
She didn’t love Fu Linchuan.
He was merely a stepping stone for her rise to wealth. If he could let her live as a rich wife forever, she could pretend to “love” him passionately for the rest of her life.
But he even had another lover. Shen Yunli found it disgusting—she hated anything tainted.
If she hadn’t already invested so much into the Fu family and couldn’t find a better option for now, why would she bother playing the role of a love-struck fiancée?
Thinking back to his earlier reaction, Shen Yunli felt a little concerned.
If it was just occasional lack of interest, that would be one thing—but she worried it might be something more… like impotence.
At this point, Shen Yunli genuinely felt a bit worried for Fu Linchuan.
After all, if that were true, it would be troublesome—she still wanted a child.
She sighed inwardly, lamenting her bad luck. The carefully chosen target she had set her sights on turned out to be… defective.
At this point in the act, Yun Li let out a long breath and asked Huahua, “How was I just now? I didn’t break character, did I?”
Huahua cheered, scattering a few petals from its head. “Not at all! You were amazing! You captured the vicious supporting female role perfectly—even her inner thoughts were spot on!”
Yun Li smiled. “Since I can’t break character, I have to do it perfectly.”
There were rules to the mission. In front of others, her character deviation couldn’t exceed 20%. If it did, a warning would sound; severe deviation would bring punishment. Yun Li had no intention of crossing that line.
Now that no one else was around, she could relax a little. Standing before a full-length mirror, she took a moment to admire her appearance in this world.
Then realized—there wasn’t much to admire.
Yun Li sighed. “Huahua, did you slack off again? Why am I using my own face this time?”
“Hehe…” Huahua hid guiltily.
Sometimes it just wanted to take shortcuts—copy and paste was easier. Surely she wouldn’t mind?
“Hmph. Lazy flower. As punishment, you’ll generate more halo points for me to exchange for items in this world.”
“Alright, alright! I’ll go soak up sunlight and gather energy right away!”
With that, its little leaves fluttered as it flew to the balcony. Stretching out, it basked in the sun diligently—front and back.
Normally, task-takers had to earn points themselves to exchange for system items.
But Huahua was special. It could absorb sunlight and convert it into energy points, saving Yun Li the trouble.
Just as Yun Li had said before—her little flower was quite capable. It didn’t need to feel inferior.
While Huahua worked hard under the sun, Yun Li also got busy. A family banquet was coming up soon, and as Fu Linchuan’s fiancée, she had to be present.
