Chapter 2 The Win Over
When I arrived in this world, the Male Lead and Female Lead had already fallen for each other.
Xie Yiheng was deeply depressed. Even his grades had plummeted.
I had to Win Over him according to the System's requirements just to survive.
I used every method I could.
He liked sunny, cheerful girls like the Female Lead.
So I tried hard to reshape my personality that way.
Every day I clung to him, talking to him, bringing homemade desserts.
At basketball games, I waved pom-poms with all my strength, cheering for him loud enough to fill the court.
Even when he politely turned me down, I pretended not to understand and stubbornly followed behind him.
But in truth, I was a quiet, reserved person.
No matter how hard I tried, it was just a poor imitation.
I once thought the Win Over was hopeless.
Then one day the System suddenly spoke.
"Host, the Win Over value has reached 100. Congratulations on obtaining permanent residence in this world."
After that, it left.
I couldn't find the reason the Win Over had succeeded.
Besides the excitement, I couldn't help feeling uneasy.
Afraid it was all just a dream.
Xie Yiheng keenly noticed my mood.
In the sunlight, his smile was gentle and dazzling.
"Wen Yu, just be yourself. I like that a lot."
So he had seen through my awkwardness and fluster every time I threw myself into it.
From then on, we got along easily.
Without the Win Over mission, our feelings only grew warmer.
After college, we got our marriage certificate.
Outside of work, we did chores together and watched movies together.
A slow, steady life suited us best.
One late night, he got a phone call.
On the other end was a woman's voice, thick with tears.
I knew who she was.
The Female Lead, Shen Leyue.
She had gotten a Divorce from the Male Lead.
Xie Yiheng got up and went to the study. He didn't come back all night.
After that, he broke our old rhythm, leaving early and coming home late.
Sometimes I ran into them together at overlapping work events.
Shen Leyue had become Xie Yiheng's assistant.
I couldn't tell if I felt more sad or more relieved.
I thought it was time I changed my way of living too.
We didn't like fighting, so when I proposed Divorce, he agreed without much thought.
The assets I got were enough for a comfortable life forever.
Because of him, I had gained a new life, and I hadn't suffered much from the Win Over.
I sincerely hoped he could be happy.
And five years later, I found my own happiness.
I never expected fate to play tricks.
Xie Yiheng was the best friend Gu Chaonan had mentioned before coming back.
