After Failing To Win Over the Yandere Best Actress, I Got Marked - Chapter 9

After finally finishing today’s scenes, Su Jin returned to the hotel, physically and mentally exhausted.

She collapsed weakly onto the bed and shouted in fury, “You damn system, get the hell out here!”

“Host, what is the matter?”

“What do you think is the matter?” Su Jin couldn’t help but roar. “Tell me the truth how many more plot points do I have to get through before I can go offline? I really can’t act anymore. Look at these trashy plotlines shameless and wicked! Is this even something a human should do? I’m a living person, I care about my dignity, okay?”

The system fell silent for a moment before replying slowly, “Host, according to the query, there are currently nine plot missions remaining that need to be completed. They are: Hot Spring Play, Live Stream Play, Drunken Seduction, Drugging…”

Su Jin felt her vision go dark. Just destroy me now.

At that moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. She instinctively asked, “Who is it?”

A woman’s voice came from outside, tinged with a hint of arrogance: “It’s me, Fang Qi.”

Su Jin’s heart tightened, and the system’s voice immediately rang in her mind: “Host, Fang Qi is here! This is an opportunity! Follow her instructions quickly so we can advance the mission!”

Su Jin frowned, feeling resistant. “System, I don’t want to get involved in this. Fang Qi clearly has bad intentions. Ye Qinglan is her sister, yet she wants to harm her… this is too wicked.”

“Host, don’t be so naive! This is a mission world, completing the mission is your only goal. Do you really want to fail and go to the void world for punishment?”

Su Jin struggled internally. “But… I can’t do this. I don’t want to hurt people, especially Ye Qinglan. Every time, I’m the one taking advantage of her. I really don’t want to hurt her anymore.”

The system’s voice turned cold. “Host, if you do not follow the mission requirements, I will directly take over your body. At that time, you won’t have a choice at all.”

Remembering the experience of the system forcibly controlling her body, Su Jin could only silently go and open the door.

Standing outside was a tall woman dressed in designer clothes with exquisite makeup, but her eyes held a trace of coldness. Her gaze swept over Su Jin. “Su Jin, let’s talk.”

Su Jin felt a bit guilty. “Is there something you need?”

Fang Qi walked straight into the room, closing the door behind her. She spoke with disdain, “Su Jin, stop pretending. I know what kind of person you are. You approached Qinglan just to leech off her popularity, didn’t you? I can give you a chance to get even more exposure.”

“What do you mean?”

Fang Qi took a check out of her bag and tossed it onto the table. “This is one million. If you do as I say, I’ll give you another two million once it’s done.”

Su Jin felt a chill in her heart and asked, though she already knew the answer, “What… do you want me to do?”

Fang Qi’s eyes turned cold and full of malice. “I want you to get close to Qinglan and take compromising photos of her to send to me.”

“Why… why would you do that? She’s your sister!”

Fang Qi sneered, her eyes filled with jealousy and resentment. “Sister? She’s just a bastard child born of a bitch. She doesn’t deserve to be my sister. I’ve worked so hard in this industry for years, why should she become a Best Actress as soon as she debuts? I want to destroy her. I want to make sure she can never recover!”

Su Jin’s heart ran cold, but on the surface, she nodded. “I understand. I’ll do as requested.”

Seeing her agree, Fang Qi nodded with satisfaction. “Very well. As long as you’re obedient, money isn’t an issue. Remember, no one else can know about this.”

After Fang Qi left, Su Jin slumped on the bed, her mind in a mess.

The system’s voice rang out: “New Mission Triggered: Install a miniature camera in Ye Qinglan’s room. Success Reward: 10 million. Failure Penalty: Perform a striptease in front of Ye Qinglan.”

Su Jin screamed, “You might as well just kill me!”

She didn’t want to hurt Ye Qinglan, but the system’s voice kept echoing in her head: “Host, don’t hesitate! This is a mission, you have no choice. Either you complete the mission yourself, or I take over your body. You choose.”

Su Jin closed her eyes, knowing she had no choice.

Under the repeated urging of the system and the threat of mission failure, she slowly trudged to Ye Qinglan’s room and raised her hand to knock.

“Come in.” Ye Qinglan’s voice came from inside, still in that same indifferent tone.

Su Jin pushed the door open. Ye Qinglan’s gaze swept over her faintly. “Something wrong?”

Su Jin forced herself to stay calm and squeezed out a smile. “Best Actress Ye, I wanted to go over tomorrow’s scenes with you and rehearse ahead of time. I wonder if you have the time?”

Ye Qinglan arched an eyebrow. “Tomorrow’s scenes? Are you sure?”

Su Jin’s heart skipped a beat, but she nodded anyway. “Yes, I want to get familiar with it to avoid too many NGs tomorrow.”

Ye Qinglan chuckled lightly, picked up the script from the coffee table, flipped to a certain page, and handed it to Su Jin. “Then let’s begin.”

Su Jin took the script, looked down, and was instantly stunned.

Tomorrow’s scene was actually Zhou Yu actively seducing Lin Xia, even including a segment where she undresses!

“This… this…” Su Jin’s face turned pale, and her fingers trembled slightly.

The system’s voice rang in her head: “Host, don’t panic! Act according to the script. Don’t let anything slip!”

Su Jin grit her teeth and could only force herself to say, “Then… then I’ll start.”

Ye Qinglan leaned back on the sofa, her deep gaze fixed on her, her voice calm. “Mhm. Begin.”

Su Jin tried her best to enter the role.

She slowly walked toward Ye Qinglan, her eyes filled with a mix of nervousness and hesitation. Her fingers lightly touched Ye Qinglan’s shoulder, her voice low and husky: “Lin Xia, I know you feel something for me too, right?”

The corners of Ye Qinglan’s lips curled into a faint smile, but she didn’t respond.

Su Jin’s fingers slid down her shoulder, lightly brushing over her collarbone. She leaned forward slightly, her breath almost touching Ye Qinglan’s ear. “Why aren’t you speaking? Is it… you don’t dare to admit it?”

Ye Qinglan still didn’t move. She just stared at her with burning eyes, as if admiring her performance.

Su Jin’s heart was beating so fast it felt like it would burst out of her chest, but she pushed through.

She grew bolder, sliding her fingers gently into Ye Qinglan’s collar, her eyes filled with provocation. “Lin Xia, you clearly like me. Why are you hiding?”

Ye Qinglan’s breathing hitched slightly, her voice suppressed. “Zhou Yu, do you know what you are doing?”

Su Jin felt guilty, but she feigned composure. “Of course I know… I’m seducing you.”

Ye Qinglan’s eyes became even deeper. She suddenly grabbed Su Jin’s wrist and pulled her toward herself. The distance between them vanished instantly; their breaths intertwined, and the air was thick with tension.

Su Jin grit her teeth, closed her eyes, and slowly approached Ye Qinglan’s lips.

The moment before their lips touched, Ye Qinglan’s rationality seemed to shatter. She suddenly cupped the back of Su Jin’s head and kissed her fiercely.

The kiss was sudden and passionate. Caught off guard, Su Jin was completely enveloped by Ye Qinglan’s scent. Her lips were pried open dominantly with an irresistible aggression.

Su Jin’s body involuntarily went weak, nearly collapsing into Ye Qinglan’s arms.

Ye Qinglan’s breathing grew heavier. Her hand slid down Su Jin’s waist, pulling her tight as if trying to merge Su Jin into her own body. Su Jin could hardly breathe; the only sounds in her ears were their ragged breathing and racing heartbeats.

The kiss deepened. Ye Qinglan’s fingers couldn’t help but stroke the gland at the back of Su Jin’s neck the most sensitive spot and the key location for marking. As Su Jin let out a soft moan, Ye Qinglan’s movements stopped abruptly. Her sanity returned in an instant as she realized she had almost exposed something.

She suddenly let go of Su Jin, breathing heavily, her eyes filled with a mix of panic and annoyance.

Su Jin slumped onto the sofa, her cheeks flushed red, looking dazed.

Ye Qinglan stood up quickly, her voice raspy. “That’s enough. There won’t be any problems with tomorrow’s filming.”

Su Jin blinked, coming back to her senses. Realizing what had just happened, her face burned even hotter.

Ye Qinglan stood up, her tone muffled. “I’m going to the bathroom. Suit yourself.”

With that, she turned and walked into the bathroom, closing the door.

Relieved of the pressure, Su Jin quickly pulled the miniature camera from her pocket. She rushed to the head of the bed and installed it into the base of the bedside lamp.

Her fingers were shaking, her heart racing for fear that Ye Qinglan would suddenly come out.

However, the moment the camera was installed, a flash of cunning crossed Su Jin’s eyes.

She quickly pulled a small piece of black tape from her pocket and pressed it firmly over the camera lens.

“Host, what are you doing?!” The system’s voice suddenly rang out, sounding annoyed.

Su Jin sneered inwardly but acted innocent on the surface. “System, didn’t you tell me to install the camera? I’ve already installed it.”

“Host, you’re playing tricks! You taped over the lens; it can’t record anything!”

Su Jin shrugged, her tone light. “The mission only required me to install the camera. It didn’t say it had to be able to see anything. I finished the installation, so the mission is a success, right?”

The system was silent for a few seconds, seemingly choked by her logic. Finally, it replied helplessly, “You really… fine. I’ll count it as a pass. You’re just digging a hole for yourself anyway.”

Su Jin thought something felt off, but before she could question it, the bathroom door opened.

Ye Qinglan walked out, her gaze scanning her briefly. “Are you leaving?”

Su Jin’s heart tightened, and she nodded quickly. “Yes, Best Actress Ye. Thank you for rehearsing with me.”

“You’re welcome. See you tomorrow.”

As if granted a pardon, Su Jin hurried out of the room.

Back in her own room, Su Jin jumped up in excitement. “System, the mission is done, right? Where’s my 10 million?”

“Host, you found a loophole this time. However, the mission is indeed complete. The reward will be issued to you.”

Su Jin smiled triumphantly. “System, don’t be so stingy. The mission is done, and you didn’t lose anything.”

The system snorted coldly. “Host, it won’t be this easy next time.”

Su Jin felt secretly lucky.

But she knew she had only barely scraped by. The next missions would only get harder she had to find a way out quickly.

If the system ever truly took over her body and did those wicked things, leaving her to deal with the consequences, she’d be finished.

Meanwhile, Ye Qinglan finished her cold shower and stepped out.

The system’s voice rang in her head: “Host, it has been detected that Su Jin just installed a pinhole camera in the base of your bedside lamp.”

Ye Qinglan frowned at the news. She walked over to the bed and stared at the miniature camera installed in the lamp base, only to discover with surprise that the lens was covered tightly with black tape, making it impossible to film anything.

A genuine smile broke across her face, like snow melting into the warmth of spring.

Look. Even when being controlled, my sister is still so kind.
