“Still running?”
In the vast underground chamber, a slender young woman was bound hand and foot by chains.
A tall man approached her step by step. Moonlight draped over his indifferent yet gloomy face.
“Song Shuangzhi, you were the one who clung to me, kissed me, stood on tiptoe beneath the moonlight, and said you’d love me for the rest of your life.”
His voice trembled faintly with anger.
“I even played with the dog for you. How dare you leave behind divorce papers and run away?”
“Tan Siyan! Don’t come any closer…” Song Shuangzhi looked at his dark expression and kept retreating.
“You’re a high-ranking judge, a chief justice, the heir of the prestigious Tan Corporation. What you’re doing is illegal!”
She forced herself to remain calm.
“You’ve convicted so many criminals. What you’re doing right now is a crime!”
“You’re happy, aren’t you?”
Tan Siyan’s cool lips parted slightly.
“Watching a law enforcer like me throw away his beliefs and dignity, turning into the kind of pervert I despise…”
“I… I was only completing a mission…” Song Shuangzhi defended herself weakly while screaming in her mind, System, save me!
“Completing a mission?”
A self-mocking smile tugged at the corner of his lips.
“Fine, Song Shuangzhi. From this moment onward, your only mission is to complete the tasks I give you.”
The desire lurking deep within his eyes was terrifyingly intense.
“What kind of mission…?”
“You’re not allowed to call for a stop.”
Her soft lips were captured, like summer cotton candy melting on the tongue.
“You may cry.”
…
“Ah! System, save me!”
The system popped up inside Song Shuangzhi’s mind.
【Zhibao, did you have a nightmare?】
Song Shuangzhi wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Nearby, she could hear her coworkers whispering.
【Chief Judge Tan is back?】
【Shh… Look at that stormy expression. Earlier, when Dr. Chuchu was administering an injection to a death row inmate, the prisoner took Dr. Chuchu hostage and tried to escape. He was the one who stopped it!】
【He shot the man dead on the spot. The blood splattered so far…】
【So scary…】
【Stay away from him, stay away! He’s only back from leave. He’ll be gone again in a month. We can just avoid him until then!】
The man stood in the café. The staff were trembling with fear. Even the hand holding his coffee shook uncontrollably, causing cups to clatter noisily.
Song Shuangzhi wanted to run too.
But she couldn’t.
Because inside her mind—
【Clingy Female Supporting Character Mission Triggered: Step on Him!】
The system shouted frantically.
【Go, Zhibao! Step on him, step on him, step on him! Extend your little cat paws and stomp him under your feet!】
Song Shuangzhi: …Huh? Me?
QAQ, I’m going to cry. (๑′°︿°๑)
The image of being imprisoned by him in her dream was still vividly lingering in her mind.
【Zhibao, you’re overthinking it!】
Song Shuangzhi had transmigrated into a novel. Six months ago, the system found her and informed her that she was the male lead Tan Siyan’s clingy ex-wife.
They had been married for six months. As his clingy wife, she spent every day causing trouble for no reason, dragging him into kisses, hugs, and demands to be lifted into the air while calling him “baby.”
Tan Siyan found her absolutely unbearable.
Three months later, his destined heroine would descend from the heavens. The two would be perfect soulmates, sparks flying instantly, falling deeply and passionately in love.
As for her…
She would become the discarded ex-wife, taking her trillion-dollar divorce settlement with her, wearing diamond rings on all ten fingers, surrounded by eighteen male models in the most expensive penthouse in Beicheng’s International Trade Center, wiping away tears…
Song Shuangzhi prayed every day.
Couldn’t the plot just skip straight to the divorce?
【Nope. Your mission is to use your sticky-sweet clingy personality to make the male lead hate you, this beautiful but shallow, spoiled supporting character with no substance!】
【Once he divorces you, he’ll be so happy he’ll probably visit his ancestors’ graves to burn incense in celebration. Dreams are the opposite of reality! How could he possibly lock you up and hate-sleep with you? He’s the male lead!】
Song Shuangzhi suddenly felt that it made perfect sense.
【Baby, hurry up! If you don’t complete your missions, you’ll die!】
“I really don’t dare…” Song Shuangzhi whimpered. “System baby… help me…”
She was only twenty years old.
She had simply fallen asleep while working on her thesis. When she woke up, she had become the ex-wife of this cold and ruthless big shot.
What had she ever done to deserve this?
The system cried pitifully.
【Baby, look at your mission panel!】
【Hold hands (Incomplete)】
【Hug (Incomplete)】
【French kiss for 28 minutes (Incomplete! You haven’t even touched the corner of his lips!)】
【Thick coconut milk! (Incomplete)】
【Pan-fried! (Incomplete)】
Song Shuangzhi pouted.
“I’ve already drunk ninety cups of thick coconut milk tea over the past three months! I’ve eaten so many pan-fried buns that I’m sick of them…”
Honestly, it wasn’t her fault she couldn’t complete the missions.
Tan Siyan had left on a business trip immediately after their marriage.
Today was the first time she’d seen him since getting married.
The system fell silent for a moment.
【…The later knowledge points seem a little advanced for you… Good girl, just complete the ‘step on him’ mission first, okay?】
Song Shuangzhi didn’t move.
【This is already the easiest mission!!!】
【If you don’t do it, you’re really going to die!!!】
Gritting her teeth, stomping her foot, and gathering all her courage, Song Shuangzhi lowered her head as though she had made a life-changing decision.
Then she charged straight toward Tan Siyan.
Wearing the most ordinary white sneakers, she cautiously lifted one foot…
And gently placed it on top of his spotless leather shoe.
Song Shuangzhi’s mind went completely blank.
【That doesn’t count as stepping on him!】
The system roared.
【That’s called standing on one leg like a crane!】
In reality, her foot was perfectly suspended in the air, not actually pressing down at all.
【Zhibao, be good! Step down already!!!】
The system screamed inside her head.
【I guarantee he won’t kill you. I’ve seen plenty of men like this. Who knows, maybe he’ll even enjoy being stepped on!】
【He totally looks like the type who’s secretly repressed. On the surface he’s upright and dignified, but behind closed doors he’d lie on your bed sniffing the sheets you’ve slept on!】
【I’ll help you!】
Song Shuangzhi suddenly felt something twitch inside her head.
Her balance slipped.
The foot hovering mere millimeters above his shoe came crashing down mercilessly.
With the expression of someone who had lost all hope in life, Song Shuangzhi looked at him.
The entire café fell silent.
Tan Siyin curled her fingers tightly.
She desperately wanted to rush over and drag away her best friend and sister-in-law, but she simply didn’t dare approach her cold and unapproachable older brother.
Tan Siyan lowered his gaze to the white sneaker resting atop his shoe.
His brows drew together slightly.
Using one finger, he adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses. The reflected light on the lenses concealed whatever emotions lay beneath.
Only after several moments did Song Shuangzhi finally realize it.
She had done it. She had completed the mission.
She wasn’t going to die.
Now there was only one thing left to do.
Run! ヽ(ﾟ∀ﾟ;)ﾉ=3=3=3
Just as she turned to leave—
A large hand suddenly wrapped around her wrist.
His cold voice was light, almost gentle.
“Are you… angry?”
