Chapter 1 You're Just a Villainous Supporting Actress
Outside the classroom window, the trees are lush and green, and the curtains are fluttering in the wind. Although it is already autumn, the September wind still carries the lingering heat of summer.
Sunlight streamed in through the glass window, illuminating the sleeping girl and casting a hazy glow upon her.
In the last row of the classroom of Class 1, Grade 11 International, Shi Sui woke up groggily.
She's been having trouble falling asleep lately, becoming inexplicably sleepy, and getting stuck in the same recurring dreams.
The same dream kept recurring, and strangely enough, fragments of the dream came true.
Now, something even stranger has happened: she is experiencing auditory hallucinations.
[Ding-dong, hello host, I am the learning system, here to help you realize your life's dreams. What are your dreams, host?]
Shi Sui paused for a moment, rubbed her ears, but the voice lingered, still asking about her dreams.
She looked around and realized that she was the only one who could hear the sound.
"[Are you dreaming?]" Shi Sui asked.
[Yes, yes, any dream that can be realized can come true.]
Shi Sui pinched her arm and felt a sharp pain. It seemed that this was not a dream, but a system had indeed come looking for her.
She thought about it for a while, but couldn't really come up with a dream. However, a huge mystery lingered in her mind. Shi Sui asked the system: "[Lately, I keep dreaming that this world is a novel, and I'm the villainous female supporting character. Is this true?]"
This all-knowing and omnipotent system, tell me it's fake!
however--
[It seems the host has already discovered that this world is a Mary Sue campus novel called "The Domineering CEO's Crybaby is Soft and Sweet," and you, the host, are the villain, the vicious female supporting character.]
Shi Sui: Although her recent dreams coming true made her suspect that she was in a novel world, she was still shocked when the system confirmed it.
The system continued: [When you were four years old, you were abducted and sold to a remote town in the southwest. When you were sixteen, you were finally found by the Jiang family. You thought you could live a happy life from then on, but you discovered that your parents already had a more outstanding and doted-on daughter, and your brother had also developed feelings for his fake sister.]
[You are jealous of the female lead's charm and the doting affection your family has for her. You believe she has stolen everything from you and taken away your happiness, so you constantly oppose her. This only makes the Jiang family dislike you more, saying you are vicious.]
[After transferring schools, you are attracted to the male lead's charm. You believe that your outstanding appearance will surely win his heart, but your confession is rejected. Even more devastating, you discover that the male lead has already fallen in love with the female lead, whom you hate the most.]
[Not only does the male lead love her, but all the women around you love her too.]
[Cold-hearted by your family and mocked by your sweetheart, you finally break down and go mad. You recklessly try to steal the man from the female lead, constantly plotting against her, but each attempt fails. Your evil deeds are exposed to the public, and your reputation is ruined.]
[Finally, you exhausted the Jiang family's last bit of patience, and you were driven out.]
[The male lead sees you struggling and working at a bubble tea shop, and offers you a helping hand.]
[You thought you'd met your savior, but instead you were imprisoned, disfigured, had your kidneys removed, bled out, and crippled... They all said you deserved it.]
[With hope extinguished, you secretly escaped from the basement and jumped from the 88th floor, ending your short life of evil.]
Shi Sui: ...This novel is sick.
Shi Sui asked, "[Since someone in the Jiang family has already replaced me, why bother bringing me back? Bringing me back only means I'll be kicked out again; it's completely pointless.]"
System: [To allow you to serve as a tool, advancing the romantic relationships between the female lead and various men.]
Shi Sui was silent for a moment, and surprisingly, she felt that the absurdity was somewhat reasonable. After all, every novel needs a villainous female supporting character to drive the plot forward.
She then asked a different question: [System, just how short is my life?]
[The host died at the age of seventeen, two days shy of adulthood.]
Shi Sui: ...Good heavens, she's sixteen now and thought being found by her family was the beginning of her life, but it turns out she's just entering the countdown to her death!
Shi Sui forced herself to calm down and suddenly remembered the dream the system had mentioned at the beginning.
If she had any dreams before, it was to leave her small town in the southwest. Now that she has left, she has found herself trapped in an even bigger pit.
Shi Sui: [System, I want to live! I want to escape the novel's plot and survive!]
[Host's ultimate dream detected: to survive outside the novel's plot. Beep—Detecting—Beep]
After a full minute of testing, the system sighed: [Based on system evaluation, since the host is an important plot device in the novel, forcibly deviating from the storyline would cause the world to collapse; therefore, this dream is invalid.]
Shi Sui: ...Then what is the use of this system?
As if reading her mind, the system replied: [While you can't forcibly escape the plot, you can do so secretly and gradually.]
[How do I do it?]
[Host, your death in your previous life occurred when you were driven out of the Jiang family. Having not graduated high school, you had no choice but to work at a bubble tea shop, where you were lured and imprisoned by the male protagonist.]
[If you study hard, graduate from high school, go to university, pursue a master's and doctoral degree, broaden your horizons, and improve yourself in all aspects, you will never be deceived by a man's sweet talk again.]
Does being a good student mean you won't get scammed? Every year, there are doctoral students who get scammed.
The system continued its patient guidance: "[Well? Has the host decided to embark on a life where 'knowledge changes destiny'? The learning system will be at your service.]"
Shi Sui has made up her mind: [I want to get rich quick!]
Right now, immediately, right now, she wants 100 million!
In the book, she went to work at a bubble tea shop because she was broke, wasn't she?
Once she achieves financial freedom, she can immediately leave the Jiang family, transfer to another school, and never have to face their condescending gazes again, nor get involved in the love story of the female and male leads, a story of chasing and running, where she can't escape no matter how hard she tries.
The system listened to her thoughts and said: [A large amount of wealth requires a process of accumulation. It's absolutely impossible for the host to conjure up a hundred million out of thin air.]
Shi Sui: ...This won't work, that won't work, this system seems useless?
System: [However, I can help the host accumulate wealth. Host's ultimate dream detected: to become extremely rich, beep—detecting—beep]
[The feasibility analysis result for the dream of getting rich quick is: feasible.]
[The system is merging with dreams—]
[Ding dong, fusion successful. The system has been renamed: Learning to Get Rich Quick System.]
[Task 1: Pay attention in class and complete one page of neat notes. Reward: 10 yuan.]
Shi Sui: ? What the hell? You just gave me 10 yuan to get rid of my 100 million?
A 45-minute class costs 10 yuan, while the hourly wage at a milk tea shop is 18 yuan. If you calculate it this way, it's better to go work at a milk tea shop right now!
Shi Sui looked up, her gaze passing over the backs of the heads in the classroom, and towards the classroom door. Sunlight streamed in through the slightly ajar door, warm, free, and beautiful.
Is it feasible to rush out now and say you want to work and earn money?
The system saw through her thoughts: [Host, please take your studies seriously. This is the only way you can change your destiny. 10 yuan is just the starting point for billions in wealth, not the end.]
Shi Sui understands that knowledge, once it enters the brain, can be applied in the future to earn more money, while the hourly wage at a milk tea shop, even if it increases, will never exceed 25.
Actually, 25 is pretty good. It's more than enough to live a carefree life.
She sighed softly, and asked hopefully, "[If I listen attentively and complete two pages of neat notes, can I get extra money?]"
Fearing the host might actually go and take a job, the system changed the task, indicating a compromise: [Task 1: Pay attention in class and complete two pages of neat notes; reward: 15 yuan.]
[What about completing three pages of notes?]
[Host, please don't push your luck!]
Please, please read this warning carefully, thank you everyone. The female lead is the lead, the other male leads are equal in billing.
